Family Worship Night, huh?
My wife is my family. And I worship her that night extra much. She gives praise to God repeatedly.

Unproductive Anger
by agonus inhi friends,.
i have a feeling i may need to cut back a bit here.
it's doing nothing but fueling my anger and i'm not sure that anger is any longer productive (kind of like the org itself).

Unproductive anger? Psychology teaches that anger is more useful than dispair.

Was The Internet The Clincher For You To Mentally Leave The Organization?
by minimus ini think it was for me.. i knew a lot of the history of the bible students, russell, rutherford and the "old light".
.
once i could see all of the overwhelming evidence right in front of my eyes, there was no ignoring the reality..

Excerpts from the Yearbook 1970, p. 72:
"It may be beneficial to set forth here a typical everyday schedule followed by the Gilead student during his five-month course:
7 a.m. Discussion of daily text, conducted by the Society’s
president, followed by breakfast
8–11:50 a.m. Fifty students, in two groups of twenty-five each,
attend classes in Bible and languages; the other half
of the student body receives practical training in
various departments of the Bethel home, office and
factory, under supervision of departmental overseers
12:15 p.m. Dinner
12:50– All students attend lecture in school lecture
1:50 p.m. hall. A Society director, overseer of a Bethel
department or an instructor gives a one-hour talk on
Bible, ministerial or organizational subject
2–5:50 p.m. Half of student body alternates in same program as morning sessions
6 p.m. Supper
7-10 p.m. Study in dormitory room or in school’s 10,000-volume library
Saturday afternoons and Sundays are set aside for attending meetings of the congregation in New York city to which the student is assigned, and for field service and study. Friday evenings are filled by attendance and participation in the congregation’s Theocratic Ministry School and service meeting.This busy program keeps everyone spiritually healthy and equips the student for the very active schedule he will follow in the missionary home or branch home of the Society to which he will be assigned after graduation.

do you think the GB are wondering why armargeddon dosn't come?
by highdose inare they deluded enough to think that it must happen soon?
or are they just stringing everyone along?.
personaly i think that russell had good intentions and probably belived what he wrote ( although dosn't make it right) but i don't belive that any other gb has really belived the trash that is supposed to be the jw religon.

They are so used to lying,
they don't even tell The Truth™ to each other.

RUSSIA: No ban - 'Watchtower' major income source of GB
by bats in the belfry inthe jehovah's witnesses contested the order in a moscow commercial court.
they said the ban on their publications was unlawful because the publications were the major sources of revenue for the organization.
banning the publications violated their rights to pursue their core activities as an organization.

To my knowledge the magazines are on a givaway basis. Maybe they are using 'theocratic warfare' tactics on the Russians.

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12
by yourmomma inhave anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

Question
by redspider inwhy was it 3 days before jesus was resurected after he was torched on the stake?.
-

In the Bible “three days” does not necessarily mean three full days.
In the Bible “a generation” does not necessarily mean a generation of 48/70/80 years.
Roughly 2,000 years ago they were 'spot on', give or take a few hours.
Nowadays it is a bicentennial hit or miss lookout.

Do You Miss Even A Little Bit Your "Friends" From The "Truth"?
by minimus ini miss a few but honestly i could count them on one hand after being in the organization for almost 5 decades.
some jws are ok but most, i simply tolerated, due to being an elder..

Shying away from education leaves one scrambling for those people able to hold a conversation. Many of them 'friends' are not the brightest bulb in the drawer. If you find one, you've got a winner !
