Simon you are right. I remember sisters talking about how great it would be to have to get around on a horse.
Of course, none of them had ever been on a horse.
i wonder sometimes just how jws try and comprehend what perfect life would really be like if "adam and eve" had not sinned?.
how would we live?
what would the realities be like?

there was a co visit in ohio a couple weeks ago.
when he was finishing up his sunday talk he said that he would like if "all the children that are from this congregation, not if you're just visiting, but from this congregation to come on up on the stage right after the meeting because i want to get a picture of you.".
i thought to myself, why?
Yes - that has happened in my congregation in the past - I see nothing nefarious about it.
Other than trying to encourage young ones to stay in the cult :)
what do you make of this part of the march 2018 watchtower study edition?.
2 among other things, peter urged his brothers: “be hospitable to one another.” (1 pet.
4:9) the word “hospitality” in greek literally means “fondness for, or kindness to, strangers.” note, however, that peter urged his christian brothers and sisters to be hospitable “to one another,” to those whom they already knew and associated with.
Same old, just spend more time in the INNER CIRCLE, spend less time with unbelieving family, or anyone else you may know.
If I recall, peter spent lots of time traveling around the Mediterranean, bet he spend time with others rather then the 20 "Christians" around then:)

i read the above posted article and it made me wonder how many narcicistic people join the borg because it fits well with their personality.
i also wonder if being indoctrinated makes you become narcicistic.
Yes.
If you are THE CHOSEN PEOPLE of god, you can become narcissistic.
If you just made it out of High School, but are constantly told you have the BEST education in the world, you can become narcissistic. (partly a defense mechanism for knowing you are a loser)
If you are in the know and the rest of the world isn't. You can become narcissistic.
This effects most to some degree.
a kingdom hall near a small community called yelm was shot up.
yelm is where two kingdom halls where set on fire about a month ago.
i think someone, exjw, in that area is really pissed off..
When something Good happens = Jehovahs Blessing.
When something Bad happens = See we are the truth because Satan attacks us.
When NOTHING happens = God is blessing us and the activity.
WIN WIN WIN - all the time.
i was saddened to hear this ,she was only 69 yrs old and i thought she played a great lois lane in the superman movie.. in her life she obviously had issues to deal with and not the best of outcomes sometimes .. r.i.p.
margot kidder , 1948- 2018.
I was sad to see the news.
I also did not know she struggled for such a long time.
Very sad.
i have to say that the talk was very good.
instead of just repeating a jw manual , the speaker actually spoke about my brother!
there were a few scriptures with the jw hope but 80 % of the talk was actually about the life of my brother.
A few elders have the balls to be a human when giving a memorial talk.
I am glad you got one of them.
Sorry for your loss.

but why being shown in 4k for only 1 day?.
