Summer Assembly and Botox

another no-no from the wt.

this was obviously some sort of manuscript talk, i was there and heard it at the st. louis assembly and asked around, and i know it was at other district conventions.

what business is this for the fds to be in, not a scriptual affair at all.

Some Confusion - What is this site in regards to JW?

by Green Jade in

i seem to have a bit of confusion concerning the purpose of this website and the people in it.

perhaps i am not computer savvy and do not understand some of the expressions used.

could someone comment and help clarify.. .

The image to the left is an infrared representation of your soul. As you make spiritual progress, the image will change until ultimately you will look like me. Pretty cool, eh?

Why don't you tell us which words you don't understand, or shall we start at the beginning of the dictionary?

I don't believe my boyfriend is 100% committed to this religion. How to handle?

by herlovelyworld in

hi guys!

im very new here and i need a little help.. im not a witness, but i know all of the quirks and rules and whatnot because my long-distance boyfriend is a witness.

the issue, other than the obvious, is that i fell in love with him before he told me he was one of jehovahs witnesses.

As for ex-member recidivism, we know that there are now more EX-JWs in the USA than there are JWs. Each year, about 10% of JWs become inactive or are disfellowshiped.

But the strange thing about this YHVH viral meme is that whenever there is FUD (fear, uncertainty or doubt) - or sometimes just the sound of distant thunder - an XJW will pause for just a microsecond and wonder if it is the end of the world. Really! As a result, a certain number of XJWs make an attempt each year to get back on the Ark (as in Noah's ark) of salvation, which is what they are taught the WATCHTOWER is.

If this sounds stupid to you, it is only because you do not know enough about Jehovah's Witnesses.

His brain has been penetrated by the YHVH viral meme.

Even though you mean well, you will not be able to free him. You really do not understand what you are up against.

Only HE can free himself, and he does that by changing his mind once HE decides that he wants to.

Search this site for the stories of those who were in love with or got married to a JW. Search the entire internet. You will not find very many happy stories.

Somewhere there's a guy for you who is even BETTER than this one, but unless you let this guy go, you'll never meet him.

And why is a smart, hot young gal like yourself even contemplating virtual relationships? Get yourself a tangible guy and tangible with him.

Witness Funeral--to go ot not to go?

my 78 year old great-uncle is very ill and is expected to pass away within the next couple of days.

he has been being receiving chemo for a few weeks (which he appeared to be responding to), but then he developed severe pneumonia and then had a massive heart attack a few days ago.

he now has a blood infection, and his liver and kidneys have quit functioning.

Nathan Natas

I would advise you to go.

Not for your Uncle Bill's sake, because he will be dead and knowing not anything, but for the sake of your Aunt Bess, who did not shun you when her elders wanted her to. She showed the kind of love that Jesus spoke about (if Jesus was real*). She endured discomfort to share her love with you. Do the same for her.

Be a better person than the JWs usually are. You can handle it.

*I'm an atheist, but "Love your neighbor as you love yourself" doesn't mention god.

Please join in praying the freedom of Jehovah's Witnesses. Part two!

as we all know, year after year the rank and file publishers in the jehovahs witness organization have been awaiting the grand announcement from the governing body the preaching work is done!.

the elderly and the infirm are the underdogs in the struggle to accomplish the ministry.

i was one among the large number of jehovahs witnesses who are sick, but prior commitment to this ministry shortened my hours of sleep considerably.

Nathan Natas

Marie, if you browsed around a bit before posting your message I think you would have found that we are probably not your target audience. Most of us here are FORMER JWs.

Have you ever been a JW? It seems you misunderstand what they are taught about their so-called "preaching work."

We would be happy to offer you additional insights if you are seeking them.

Cheeseburger, anyone?

Nathan Natas

What's an "AGM"? (it is always a good idea to define abbreviations at least once in any thread.)

*sigh* long-distance relationships are magical, aren't they?

I don't mean "Cinderella" magical, I mean "shrunken head" magical, "Freddy Krueger" magical.

May I ask approximately how old you are?

It is good you don't want to ask him to change because anyone with experience will tell you that people don't change - they are what they are.

If you fell in love with him BEFORE he told you that he was a pedophile, or a murderer, or a rapist, or that he owed $250,000 on his credit cards, would you still find it impossible to stop loving him?

My point is that you do not owe it to this guy to ruin YOUR life because of "love."

Right now, in your city, there are probably more than 5 guys who would be more compatible with you and would not bring such unwelcome ponderous, malodorous baggage to your relationship.

Let him find his happiness with a JW girl who shares his guilt trips and hang-ups, and accepts the WTB&TS as the third member of her marriage.

You DESERVE a decent, normal life. Make decisions that will result in that outcome.

Good luck.

Sab, I have found that people enjoy having life-size posters of the WAATCHTOWER "founding fathers".

"Father" Russell was a midget - errr... I mean "little person."

I heard that the rest of the Bethel family used to enjoy Wednesday night "little prson" bowling in the WTB&TS bowling alley.

Yes, I am just pulling your leg. It's too late for me to change the links to the fat-ass pictures, I'm afraid.
