Funny! My toddler enjoyed it too, and wanted Daddy, Sister & Brother to watch it too. But, I had to tell the child it was only for us. (The others are at the KH right now).

No, not with the general world feeling of malaise, all the media talk of global warming with its inherent concerns such the world's forests dying off because of global climate changes, the financial mess the entire globe is experiencing, famines, terrorism, families falling apart. Plus many people feeling 'entitled' in wealthier nations causing huge strains on the working class, developed world obesity problems. AIDS, resurregence of polio and other preventable diseases. The recent proclaimation by the Harry Campings of the the world, the end of the Mayan calendar thought by many to mean the end of the world. In general, people are looking for some reason for hope and WTBTS holds out living forever in perfect health and body on a perfect planet where you can have your very own kangaroo and pester Noah by telling him how long you pioneered. Some people turn to drugs to deal with things, some to religion, some who left the Borg are terrified by what they see and return. (Sorry for any ramblings and english errors-I just took an ambien before I started this post.)

Special day Last talk "No formula"
by MommieTiger inthis weekend at our special assembly day, let gods will take place the final talk was a head shaker.... the bethel speaker was quite entertaining when he joked @ the shortcomings of the elders.
he also made us laugh with the comment "we were told the end of the system is right around the corner, but we've found its been more than that, we've been around the blocks a few times.
" he told the young ones to make the truth their own by researching in the wtbts publication (only).

bigmouth-thanks for your feedback. Occasionaly the nasty things bring on major anxiety/panic attacks and then I have to go searching for my 'rescue' med. to get me back in control of myself. I'm hoping they will fade as things go on.

@Lady Lee-thanks for the advice for self talk. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of future my kids and I will have, as their lovely father, my hubby is still very in, but he does let me talk to him about the WBTS and its faults, so I have hope. I'll try the self talk tonight.
Ding-you are always very supportive. Thanks!
Man oh man-try using Google Chrome, it allows your posts to show.

My conscious mind is able to throw off my fears about the WBTS being right about the great trib. and armegeddon. It is able to shut off the panic thoughts when they spring up...however when I go to sleep, it is another thing entirely. The unconscious allows fears and panic to thrust into my dreams and all kinds of awful things take place. My kids are dying and I'm being told it is my fault for not 'exercise faith and having works befitting such faith'. The word around me collapses as the Watchtower illustrations often show, with burning rocks careening down from heaven, the ground below opens up to snatch my family and myself as buildings around me fall down. It is very disturbing to say the least. Does anyone else have these kind of nightmares?

Witnesses Ban gambling using no Scriptures only stupid logic...it's greedy! What?
by Witness 007 inthere is no scripture that ever said "thou shall not gamble.
" the bible never mentions gambling.
yet it's a disfellowshiping sin.

I never could figure out why buying a $1 lottery ticket was considered greedy or wrong. There are many brothers who are greedy when they go to a restaurant with an all you can eat buffet...plate after plate of greasy chicken, spaghetti or desserts...and this seems OK.

Higher Education and Disqualification for Privileges in the Congregation
by 00DAD inwhen i was still serving as an elder in the late summer of 2006 in a congregation of jws in socal we received a letter from the "christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses" (read: the governing body) directing that anyone pursuing a higher education would be disqualified from privileges of service: elder, servant, pioneer, etc.
i remember this quite distinctly because i had just received by ba in education in june a few months before this.
in 2002, i had decided to pursue a degree under the society's then current "it's a personal decision" policy and was quite shocked at their drastic policy change.
