i realize that prayer is a really personal thing, but representing a group in prayer has become so full of cliche's that i just want to vomit sometimes.
co week almost every prayer has the phrase "special week of activity" in it.. then there's "please look after the sick and afflicted.".
not so much anymore, "please bless this food and the hands that prepared it.".
Some prayers really annoy me
They all annoyed me, pointless babble that went on and on and on.

Thank you Jehovah, for This..
Thank you Jehovah, for That..
Thank you Jehovah, for the Other Thing.
Thank you Jehovah, for Bolts with Threads.
Thank you Jehovah...
For the Nuts that go on the Bolts, which also have Threads...
ok the first thing that come to mind, how in the hell a frog make in through all the food handlers into a salad..but when you think about it i became a jw thinking a nice spiritual meal and i ended up with crap and no one warned me, there is something ugly in your organization.......the restaurant bj's w. covina ca.
one of my favorite restaurant....ktla.com/woman-finds-frog-in-salad-at-bjs-restaurant-in west-covina.
You Are a Winner
If You Find Me in Your Dinner!
i was just thinking that most witnesses can not approach a controversial topic without turning it into an attack of the person who raises that topic.. as we all awaken to ttatt (the truth about the truth), they simply can't discuss the actual facts or issues we discover without turning it into an attack of us as "apostates" with all the negative connotations that word entails.... how truly narrow minded and sad!
.
they would rather attack the person than the topic..
i still believe in freedom of religion even if i disagree with the beliefsof the religion.
what about you?.
Would You Outlaw Jehovah's Witnesses If You Had Your Way?
OUTLAW?!..
JW`s are not worthy of anything "OUTLAW"-ish.
I prefer:
prohibit, forbid, veto, proscribe, disallow, make illegal, embargo, bar, debar, block, stop, suppress, interdict.
i had the shocking thought that wt may never die due to its free labor realestate building empire.
an the lawyers drain the swamp quicker than the new building program..
I had the shocking thought that WT may never die due to its free labour real estate building empire.
It`s not going to die, for a reason much worse...
Many JW`s are happy in WatchTower Land.
.....
"Everything Is Under Control."
"GO BACK TO SLEEP."

becoming more and more forgetful, i have to write down all my daily tasks and obligations: put out tony's garbage can, on sunday night; feed rover at 3:30 p.m., on monday; look out my studio window between eleven and one o'clock, on thursday, to sign for a parcel, from ups, for my neighbor.. i write out all my daily jobs and appointments on my desk calendar, sticky notes (posted on my door and truck dash), and in my pocket calendar, all in ink.
i do not own -- what do you call them?
OUTLAW: Was it in the film Bruce Almighty where J.C. played God and used post-it notes?!?!?!?.....CoCo
Yep...
Not Even The Dog Was Safe.
free from the mind-f¥¢k of wt indoctrination it is ever so clear that any aspiration one may have entertained was always judged to be bad or selfish, worldly and only those goals in accord with wt teaching were approved and encouraged.. one example was having to look for a new job and being told by an elder that my change of employment was an opportunity to pioneer.
when i shared with him that my first priority was to find work that would afford me to keep food on the table and pay the mortgage, he went on about jesus not having a place to lay down his head and the hebrew patriarch abraham living in tents like a temporary resident in the promised land--this coming from a guy who lived in a $500,000 home and who thought himself as a contractor, subcontracting rather than hiring as employees, other brothers to work for him for very low pay, and enriching himself with the sweat of fellow dubs who had little education and who would often aux.
pioneer so they seemed very theocratic and held up as exemplary by appointed exploiters like him.. were you ever in a similar situation?.

How do you handle your day-to-day planning.....CoCo
and, if needed, adjust to sudden and unexpected changes to your calendar?
In the wilderness, things don`t always go the way you planned...
i ask this question for good reason.
let's face it, despite all the books, videos, forums, court cases, hearings, protests etc that have been exposing the society for many years.
jw.org continues to roll on almost 'it seems' unscathed.. for example, just walk into any kingdom hall there is not so much as a whisper about anything that has been exposed outside of jw land.
The Roman Catholic Religion has over 1 billion members worldwide and they go back 2000 years of human history.
Jehovahs Witnesses have about 8 million members worldwide and they go back as far as aprox.140 years of recent history
Funny side note.
All the JW`s I have talked to, think JW`s are as big as the Catholics.
.......
OUTLAW: JW`s have a huge pedophile problem.
JW: What about the Catholics?!.....Every large organisation has it`s problems.
..........
2.2 billion Christians in the world.
1.2 billion of them are Catholics.
8 million (The WBT$ is most likely exaggerating) are JW`s.
A Public Notice to the WBT$ JW Cult:
"IN THE CHRISTIAN WORLD"...
