If predestination reduces expenses, they're all for it.
Praise Jah!!!
But in reality, I believe this is true:
They talk out of both sides of their mouth on this, as they do with lots of other topics. -sir82
another agm thought.
in tight pants tony's part, he mentioned several times that jehovah draws those he chooses and only those rightly disposed would come in.
and individuals that liked the literature but made no progress towards becoming jw were a "waste of time".. was he setting the stage for them introducing the thought of predestination?

on saturday, october 7.. any chance to get user name and password for stream?.
My poor wife (took her octogenarian mother) reports that Loesch is now yammering on about every building, parking lot and outhouse ever dedicated to Jehovah.
I owe her drinks and a nice dinner this afternoon.
what is mtv visit at the kingdom hall?
i know it is something about maintenance but what does the acronym stand for?.
'Look at them yo-yo's, that's they way you do it. . . '
i have been watching leah remini's show about scientology.
as she interviews people i see that i was right many years ago when i said this is a lot like the jws.
they do not go after people quite the same way but they sure are very similar in how they run their org.
This week's episode with Paul Haggis was our (my wife's and my) favorite. Could totally relate to his experience. Just swap in JW Speak for all of the Scientology Speak and you've got the same thing.
it's being said all over social media that joel osteen hasn't opened his mega church for refuge during the storm, pictures are showing this area is not flooded.
i made a few comments myself saying that the jws only help their own in time of need but this god fearing man isn't helping anyone.. just what religion is he and his followers, i guess it's one of those non-denomination churches that collect a shitload of bucks to him and wife so he can afford the glamorous life, nothing new of course, i thought he was just a bit different than the others, fooled me..

The leader of a Houston-based megachurch said Tuesday that it would open its doors to victims of Hurricane Harvey, after its initial statements about the storm met with strong criticism online.
i want something different on my next pizza!.
Anchovy, onion and olives. . . . although a really well-made plain pie is just the best.
OMG, Londo! That [Pizza Hut] is definitely child abuse. -- jp1692
This is 100% true.

Awesome post. Congrats! I especially liked this:
I have never lived so honestly, living true to myself and my feelings.
I think being honest with oneself is absolutely critical to living a truly happy life.
thought i'd start a separate discussion on the subject.. those who know me know i'm struggling with faith; i want to believe, some days i do but it becomes difficult.. many believers say there is verifiable proof of jesus' existence outside of the bible.. please post this proof..
Jesus goes from age 12-30 without any word of what happened in between, not one word from a friend or neighbor.
There's a song about that. . . .
just wanted to share with you some good news i'm really excited about.
i have been accepted for university to study psychology and counseling.
my goal is to become a counselor and, in time, to specialize on treating those who have left high control relationships/groups like we all did.. it'll take a few years before im qualified but studying in university has been a dream of mine since i was 12, which was systematically dashed to pieces by watchtower.. .
Awesome! You won't regret it.
