  No.

  Any small benefit, I would have had 10 fold if I had gone to college and just had a normal life.

  And the negatives are mountainous.

  Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

  At 13 I was rubbing one out about 10 times a day!

  OMG the discovery of the orgasm was the best thing ever ever ever!

  JWs made me hate school

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yesterday, i had an epiphany.

  i realized that the jw religion made my experience in school awful and i hated school because of this.. yesterday, my kids had an activity where the whole school was out at the park, playing baseball, soccer, other pic-nic games and even swimming pools.

  during the day, i had conversations with the teachers and saw the kids out, playing having fun.

  I Ain't Got No Religion No More ... (But I Like to Get Myself Some Gospel Music)

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i love gospel music.

  i don't feel like i need to believe in "jebus" to appreciate the music.

  i can't go into a gospel church because i might just get religion again - that or i'll be grabbing the mic on be on the stage waving my hands and praising the lord.. i particularly like dylan's gospel period.

  Masturbate in the bathroom stall every time a video comes on?

  You could be "coming for the Lord"

  Anyone think Assemblies will stop?

  by blownaway in

  not completely but the expensive renting of halls or assembly hall ownership.

  maybe with streaming they could have assemblies at the kh and stream the program.

  i bet they cut costs in a lot of ways.

  No - they need them. It is part of the control structure.

  They will always have 3 a year to mimic the ones Isreal had.
  Of course there won't be any party or dancing that went on back then.

  Accounts report at Circuit Assemblies to go away

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was at the regional convention and asked an elder why is that at the assemblies their is an accounts report but not at the conventions?

  he said, well actually they got a letter and in it said that in a little while they will do away with the accounts report stating how much the assembly costs for the weekend and just go to donation basis like at the conventions.. my first thought was, "they will donate even less now.".

  anybody else hear about such a thing?.

  I don't think that could be.

  In the last 5 years, the only thing that has been pushed more than staying loyal to the GB is GIVE MORE MONEY.

  If they don't keep hounding people at the Conventions and Assemblies - they will NOT get what they want.

  90% of JW donations are done out of guilt (I believe).

  JWs & "generations"

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know what a mess the jw "generation" teachings have been.

  but, there is one hard and fast truth concerning jws and "generations" - that is, that many generations of jws have died without the realization of the hope they were promised.. there were many before my grandfather's time, but i'm going to start with his.

  his generation, his peers, lived at a time when jwdom was exciting, bold, confident, seemingly deeper and scholarly, seemingly genuinely concerned about the preaching work and saving lives.

  It seems like turning their backs on 1914 will get next to impossible.
  To many people, my age (50s) would just flip out over that.
  It invalidates everything.

  The only other thing the could change that would be as big a shock to the R&F would be saying Evolution is right.
