  Why would you think that they are going bust? Even if they have a negative operating cash flow, they are far from going bust. Think about all the assets they have. It is simply a matter of shifting cash from the sale of assets to operate.

  How soon is soon?

  i guess if the jdubs have no clue how long a generation is they also wouldn't know how long a time period the word "soon" refers too.. 60 years ago my mother would hammer into my brain how soon the great tribulation was.

  soon jehovah would destroy the wicked.

  then a few years later there was no need to go to college because the end was so soon.

  Soon is very near, just around the corner. I was not supposed to graduate high school in 1975 because the end was so very near, just around the corner. Now, my 61st birthday is soon, very near, just around the corner.

  i don’t care about it unless someone runs on a record of being a model family man or woman.. does it bother you if a president or princess or top government official “cheats “??

  This is not a moral issue - This is a campaign financing issue. Rules are rules. They appear to have been broken.

  Pondering the real numbers

  by Deltawave in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was sat in the assembly hall yesterday, wondering how many pimo ones like me there was there.

  or even if they don't know ttatt still don't believe it for whatever reason.. i think there must be more of (us) there than we all realise.

  i mean, brothers reaching out is at an all time low, information via the internet is at an all time high and the preaching work has now become a motionless, speechless babysitting of a book shelf advertising a website as someone here pointed out!.

  The New York Times identified this song as one that "tells us where musing is going."

  How were you 'outed' ??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  many of us here have been "outed" as ones who no longer believe that this is "the truth".. many didn't have the chance to do it in our own way, and in our own time, but rather someone "found out about our apostasy" and "reported" it to the spiritual police (elders).

  would you like to share your stories?.

  I never had an outing experience. I moved to different congregations several times. In the end, I was a nobody. There is never any effort to expose a nobody. I kinda feel cheated.

  Memorial Invitation 2018 : Subliminal Message ?

  memorial invitation : subliminal message.

  at first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the invitation but on closer look a disturbing detail becomes apparent.it is in the upper right corner of the illustration of jesus christ celebrating the last supper with his disciples in the upper room...there seem to be trees outside the window but on closer inspection, all thanks to the pdf format of the invitation that allows you a very close look down to the fine detail, these are not trees but letters!!!.

  I guess you could, with a bit of a stretch, say that the letters thus mentioned are present. If true, I am still not sure what this means. Please explain.

  my dad died 2 weeks ago on sunday.

  i will miss him so much.

  he was the funniest most greatest man i have ever known.. granted for the first 30 years i wasnt that much keen on him and i don't think he was on me much either.....let me explain.. mum and dad met in 1964, mum was the prettiest girl in the town, mini skirts, raised hair, the daintiest figure, she looked the spit of audrey hepburn at breakfast at tiffanys.

  Scotty,

  I am sorry for your loss. It sounds like many of your family complications would have occurred even without the layer of JWism. In any event, I wish you a long and successful life.
