Isn't that funny JBean, how it seems that that trend is universal in the JW's - once the youth marraiges start ALL the kids of eligible age get married. Seen it a bunch of times.

14 Minutes and you are not a Servant of Jehovah
by JT inlast night we were discussing the "new light" that was revealed to the gb recently from jehovah.
many of us recall all the co talks and elder parts based on the bible text of how a true servant of jah would not be "inactive or irregular" for years one was required to have at least one hour to be considered a servant of jah.. as the sec in my hall i recall so many times calling up friends to get thier time and hearing them break crying cause they didn't have 60min only about 45min- and they knew that it meant they were not servants of jah.
now with the new light from jw a person with only 14 minutes of time will now be disqualified as being a servant of jah.. it is amazing how many jw will view this arrangement as a "loving provision from jah" instead of realizing that thier service to thier god has been reduced to whether they get 15min or 14 min.

Yes Erich, that's the answer, all the good hearted people who see other's pain should leave the org immediately. Oh, wait, that's already happening!

A Salute to the Kids of Dubdom
by Room 215 inas the unfortunate school-age children of jws worldwide, or at least in christendom, face up to two of what must certainly be the most dreaded days of the school year -- today and monday, i don't think it would be remiss to do pay them tribute -- the honor of a brief recognition of some sort, say by the raising of a glass, a prayer, a couple moments' reflection, whatever.. i refer to all those of the trembling knees, quivering lips, moistened eyes and hollow feelings in the pits of their little tummies as they loyally face up to the humiliation of standing aside from the masses of christmas celebrants among their school friends.
how they must agonize over dealing with the incessant questions of their mates about ``what are you going to do this christmas," ``what did santa bring you?
'' -- not to mention listening to the spirited banter of their school friends recounting how much fun they had and what they found under tree christmas morning, etc.

Yoyo - I equated you to a donkey because donkeys like to sit around and bray a lot just to hear themselves bray. The description fits very well ...

Budda, don't forget though that even though god blessed him he had to teach him a lesson by killing an innocent baby. Bad baby, bad!

I now see that David is one I want to model my life after. I think that the world needs more human sacrifice, adultry, and illegal censuses. Oh and don't forget to snag a peice of holy bread on your way out!

Stop being such an ass yoyodick. Ever heard of the term compassion? Look it up because they will never teach it to you at the local JW brainwashing sessions.
Yes, she can now devote 1500-1700 hours a year to books sales. Too bad when she's 60-70 years old the WTBTS retirment plan will kick in and when she's laying in a hospital bed the elders will tell her to find gov't aid to pay the bills.
I'd bet it's the other way around, and it's Paul whose better off without her.

Whatever yoyobrain, many of us here were also JW kids and gre up 'defending our beleifs' just like you did. You get no special merit badge from us here for that.
Yes, it takes courage for these kids to do this. The sad thing is, they (espcially the little ones) are doing so simply because mom and dad told them to. They have no idea why they can't just the ambigous 'god hates Christmas' crap. When pressed as to why, that's the 'couragous defense' a) god hates it, and b) mom and dad said so.
All the while, in the back of their head they are asking themselves 'what's really so wrong with this?' or more likely just being a kid and really wanting to join in with their freind in the fun times being had.

Yes, David was a pussy for not smiting his foe that was laid before him
I guess he was waiting until the time he could have people murdered without getting his own hand bloody.

Go away yoyohead, your thread crapping is not apreciated here.
Thanks for the memories R215, it is easy to forget about the horrors of public school for the JW kid. Especially the really young ones who haven't a clue why they can't have a present and join in the fun the other kids are having beyond "We don't beleive in that".
