Don't atheists all stick together in a herd too? Are they any different?

Why do people proudly say they belong to Jesus ?
by mP ini know what the statement means im just baffled why anyone would select words like "belong" or a that they are a "servant" of jesus ?.
i mean ive never heard anybody say they belong to their parents or their spouse, so why are they property of jesus as in servitude ?
why would anyon e then go about making boastful pronoucnements about how great jesus is after he requires total servitude ?

Who is supposed to do the "Separating Work" for the new magazines?
by nochoice inso, there is a bit of a fight going on in our hall between our pioneer sisters and our magazine servant.
since the new magazines are boxed with two issues together, there is a bit of work to be done separating them.
our magazine servant stacked them on the counter as usual, right out of the box.

Mr Falcon... 'Friends' is actually an 'americanism'... we don't use it over here in the UK
Perhaps the little children could do the job of 'separating'... start them off young.. give them responsibility instead of running round the KH after the meeting... make them feel useful...

I would say I belong to Christ, I'm happy to say I belong to him and yes proud of it. A feeling I never had as a JW, belonging to a religion. It was like feeling I had a noose round my neck. This is very very different. There is a freedom in belonging. I don't expect others to understand it unless they feel the same way. I know other christians feel this way. It's not like being a 'slave', it's like being with someone who understand everything about you and loves you anyway.

Well, I remember when I was just a little girl, about 10. Small for my age, timid but not a pushover. This bully boy started following me around and taunting me, calling me names. I saw red and turned round and wacked him one.. he didn't see it coming and the shocked look on his face was comical. LOL
I'm quiet and easy going... but don't push me too far..

I've lost my faith in a man made organisation. I have not lost my faith in God and my faith in Jesus Christ is stronger than before.

lurkers, faders, apostate- DFs need better name.
by prologos inthe propaganda ministry (joseph gs) of the wbtsinc.
is good at picking derogatory names for the above categories.
so are the atheists, which is fine.. but really, those in "crisis of conscience" need all the help they can get, and a dignifying uplifting name would be great!

Who really is the faithful and discreet NATHEER SALIH ??
by Calebs Airplane inwe know he was faithful to frederick franz (or frederick franz was faithful to him).. we know he was discreet because so little is known about him today.
for example, we know that he was in the writing department (even though he never professed to being a jw), that wore expensive jewelry and that he was frederick franz spokesman (or did i get that backwards?)....
also, much has been said about salihs strange hebrew-to-english bible translations (supposedly used by frederick franz when writing certain wt articles) and several illuminati and/or freemason conspiracy theories have been analyzed, yet this guy has managed to slip under the radar almost completely unnoticed by all jws and will probably be completely forgotten in just a few years.. so, who really is the faithful and discreet natheer salih?

I've read somewhere about him. That he was some kind of 'bodyguard' in FF's later years when he started to go blind and that no one could speak to FF without his say so.
