im always promising to quit jwn but it is like a drug; once you are exposed to ttatt you just cant turn of yuor brain.
i just cant find any comfort in the empty promises that i hear from the platform anymore.... .
what i have noticed after waking up to ttatt is how the jws are a group of 8 million daydreamers!.
Daydreaming can be a constructive process. Depending upon what you classify as daydreams, some may consider goals the same as daydreams.
I tend to agree, I also agree that a person should always project a positive future in their goals.
The real question is: are these dreams anchored in reality?
do they actually believe that if they tell you that you are "missed", that you will desire to return to the sheepfold?
.
"What on earth makes the Watchtower Organization think that inactive ones a would ever want to go back to the vomit?"
But, Mim, you have it all wrong; the real question is: can they count time while encouraging inactive baptized publishers?
Elders are on a mission, not to save lives, but to have enough hours to retain their status.
talking with a long time elder last night, was very revealing.
he has been a jw for over 60 years, a man that was incarcerated in cuba in his early 20s and faced great loss and suffering over his beliefs and for being born in a communist country.
this brave man is now brittle and low-spirited.. while nightfalls on his life, he is made aware the end is near.
Life is not a dress rehearsal for something, it is all we have. In this situation, there is nothing you can do other than provide comfort.
finally, after almost a month, i get a response from my mother about the un.
for those who didnt see her original letter and my response, just click on the sheet of paper icon in my profile and you can catch up on this.. i will place my comments in italics and names will be replaced in parentheses.. .
dear ranchette,.
The JWN is a treasure of great threads. This is quite powerful. Thanks for bumping this to the top.
.
please join with me, and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the classic wt with the front cover which boldly proclaimed that the generation of 1914 would never pass away.. the cover date of the that wt is infact this very day so let us raise a glass to this clear sign they have god's backing:.
in this the 100th anniversary of our lords return (invisibly of course brothers) it is a fine and appropriate thing to do..
But with the overlapping generations they are still alive becaused they touched someone who is alive today. It makes perfect sense. And wney these people die, they touched someone who touched someone.
So sad, what a waste of life.
i really enjoy making memes from the my book of bible stories..
funny stuff.
i read this quote at tom's site (thanks tom!
) and then looked it up for myself on the wt cd.
this is truly disturbing and shows their true mindset....this is from the nov. !5th 1952 question from readers.
A little bit of serendipity but here was a headline on MSN. I hope this does not give the GB any ideas.
Sudan judge sentences Christian woman to death for apostasy

when the co visits a cognregation this semester, a special meeting with elders and mss is sceduled tuesday night, right after the normal meeting.
does anyone know what this meeting is about?
this special meeting is held at the beginning of the co-week, and is different from the standard meeting with personnel which is held friday evening.
I have attended more than a few of these meetings; I was a MS for 15+ years and elder for 3 years. My only reaction - boring! So boring! Oh so boring!
I cannot recall any special insight in the many years of attending these meetings. Some were so boring that even the CO had a hard time hiding his boredom.
tried to get into jw.net twice but a popup informed me that the official website of jw's is jw.org.
this was about 2 hours back.
anybody with a similar experience?.
I wish I had a pudding baptism.
