So is that a field service group on morning coffee break?
How funny!
They dont look very excited about their lot in life honestly.
so i'm minding my own business at mcdonald's, reading bonnie zieman's book.. i was sorely tempted to read it at the adjacent table.. would have liked a co-hort to video the subsequent emergency evacuation.. .
.
by the way, this was one of the nicest november saturdays ever, and they're wasting this precious time fraternizing.
i never was a jw.. my traditional response to jws calling at the door was to raise 'the issues' - standard stuff.
they don't come so often now.. when the arc was going out live, i watched most of the broadcasts.
i was struck by just how poorly the head honchos performed.
Internet exposure has not been good for the JWs.
The monthly Governing Body broadcasts are lame and the leaders come across as phony.
The ARC hearings were just as bad - perhaps worse since the monthly broadcasts are heavily edited and scripted.
The days when the leaders expressed themselves in print only were better for them but the world moved on and they are trying - its just not coming across well for them.
a while ago someone posted a link to the flame warrior guide, it seeks to define some different types of posters.

i thought it might be fun and lighten the current mood to reveal which "warrior" is closest to your style, in your opinion.

an answer to an email:.
atlantis, i have not installed the watchtower library cd as of yet, so could you copy and paste the article about prayer being restricted to unbaptized ones?
thanks in advance.
I wonder if Simon and Vivianne are one and the same person?
There is a greater chance that the JWs have the truth - or that it is going to rain hundred dollar bills,
Honestly, cant you see the intellect behind Simons posts even when you dont agree with him? Its easy to see.
I know you are very with it also One Finger Salute from the comments you levy at the Watchtower studies. Maybe you are kidding around? If so, I apologize for being dense. Im not in the social loop much.
no facts about the world are absolutely certain.
that being the case i wonder how others would rank amd rate their confidence in various factual statements about the world.
i am going to rate my confidence in ten items of "knowledge" as a percentage.
i was sitting at the recent circuit assembly that i attended, (the things i do for sis blues) and the baptism talk was under way .
i admit that my mind was more on my imminent packed lunch and flask of coffee but i distinctly heard the speaker make the statement that heads this thread and cite a wt reference.. you what !
i was shocked....... how can they possibly make such an arrogant statement ?
okay, i need to vent.
as a newly awoken individual, i have yet to "come out" to my hard core jdub parents.
my plan was to lay low and use my unbelieving husband and baby as an excuse for my "inactivity", it has worked for the last few months.
Its nice that your baby is young enough that you have some time to figure out exactly how you want to handle this.
When (if) you tell her no to the videos from the Org could you have some videos to hand her that are appropriate? Something like the "Baby Einstein" videos perhaps?
II mention those because they are popular even with the Witness moms although they are not religious at all.
That way your mom could have something you both agree on th show the baby.
