  El Guapo, you've gotten lots and lots of great suggestions here. We know it's hard to just suddenly change your life habits overnight, but trust us: once you make these changes and assert control of your own life you'll wonder why you were fearful and delayed.

  We were there, we get it. But we did it and you can do it to.

  I really like the idea of jgnat's "broken record" technique. It might help you to take a look at the underlying principle behind it, the psychological principles which make it hard for you to do it now, but will give you the personal power to do it when understood and internalized.

  Check out this thread. I think you'll find it helpful:

  It's still there. Just noticed, on the copyright page (p. 2 of the pdf) it says:

  This publication is not for sale. It is provided as part of a worldwide Bible educational work supported by voluntary donations.

  So posting it on the internet is just part of that "worldwide Bible educational work," no! And don't you just appreciate how it's being made available for free in keeping with the spirit of the WTBTS's stated intentions?

  "Must you stop?"

  2. beliefs

  no, that's not a line from a rude film.

  it's the title of a brief article on page 3 of the latest february 2013 kingdom ministry, which reads as follows... .

  "when sharing in field service, some publishers customarily stop at a certain time, perhaps at noon.

  OKM: "Could you extend your ministry for a few more minutes ... ? ... staying out a few minutes longer is a simple way to increase our 'sacrifice of praise.'—Heb. 13:15."

  Sure, I'll stop at 12:03 instead of 12:00 sharp. That'll no doubt get me on Jehovah's good side!!!

  niight has fallen at the beth sarim mansion.. president joseph franklin rutherford (the "judge") sits calmly sipping whisky from a flask on the edge of his silk sheets at bedtime.

  he sets the glass on the night stand.

  he begins cleaning his nickel-plated pistol to high gleam.

  This happened to me once too.

  I meant start a new thread with a proper title.

  It's not like JWN is going to run out of space over one redundant thread. This one will soon disappear into oblivion without a title anyway.

  i posted this 10 years ago.

  here is an updated version fresh for the 2012 holidays :.

  1. jehovahs witnesses claim to have no clergy and hence are supposed to be totally unlike christendoms' rulers who get special reverence and lord it over their brothers.

  It was true 10 years ago and it's all still true now. Funny how truth, real truth, doesn't ever change!

  Being a JW is like betting on a horse race-

  by moshe in

  you can win almost everytime, if you have insider information!

  that is what the wt all but promises- you can cheat death and live forever in a paradise earth!

  but you need inside information to win that race-- and you can only get it from the governing body - the meat in due season, is the equivalent to the horse race insider tip- it's like a sure bet folks!!.

  Confidential Materials!

  by Atlantis in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  all documents of important nature such as, our kingdom ministry, boe letters, forms, or other materials will now be sent only by email or private message communications.

  they will not be posted out here on the board.

  if someone else wants to post them, be my guest.. .. we have no other choice in this matter, and sending out confidential documents is better when it is done privately.

  did you ever buy a box of crackerjacks?.

  popcorn with caramel on it.. it had a gimmick, however, that really pushed sales and kept it popular decade after decade.. crackerjacks had a prize hidden inside!.

  what fun to eat caramel popcorn just to get that stupid prize!.

  But with CrackerJack there really IS a prize inside; with the WTBTS you only get the junk food.
