last week as i listened to the public talk, i noticed.
that several times the speaker referred to the watchtower.
as the source of authority.. he said that "in the july1, 1980 watchtower page 15. paragraph 4 it says".... it is like he was looking up a bible.
how can you not see they way you follow the govening body .. is your cult leader... and you live in isolation ... anyone who is not a witmess is bad association... how many friends do you have outside the kingdom hall...
wake up man you are worshiping a magazine... for God sake ... why do the require you to read every publication ...

firstly a few rules.. - increase in numbers primary goal.
- new laws must feel the same as past ones.. - cant revolutionize and feel mainstream, .
- changing doctrine acceptable, only cant change everything at once.
Flipper that was my take.. at first.. so i had to dig deep..
something new ... tithing .. instead of field service ... it sounds crazy ... but in JW land what isn't ...maybe they can recruit OBVES he's good with numbers LOL...
i can recall a few.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki801ccg9yo.
sad indeed!
i was searching online when i came across these headlines.
early reports say that as many as 27 jws died in a bus crash in ecuador while on their way to a meeting a couple of weeks ago.

here it is
that's all i have to say about that.. okay, one gratuitous jesus joke.... .
i was 25 years a congregation member; ten years an elder; all told, up to 18 years an appointed man; a decade or so as a full-time minister; assembly speaker, with the pinnacle giving the public discourse at a district convention.. .
i stopped being an active member of the congregation in november 2010, but it had been brewing for several years, with the customary gradual drifting away - all the necessary mental gymnastics as my spiritual views changed and doubts set in; quitting the theocratic ministry school; ceasing to answer; sitting quietly off to the side.
i think the straw that broke the camels back was when family worship inevitably became family worship.
welcome rory-ks looking forward to future posts~~

here in california, i have to get a smog, which is an emissions test in order to register my vehicle.
does your state require an emissions test?
a regular inspection of the vehicle, or none?

I live in Idaho too .. ada and canyon counties have emmissions .. where are you in the state... maksym
prior canyon county didn't .. but now they do it is twenty minutes away and there is no visible gaps anymore between the two, and everyone in canyon county drives into boise to work.. so it was much needed... the air quality still isn't great here at times
registration has gone up quite a bit recently too..

let's keep it really simple.
that way we won't get confused.. things happen.. what can we say about things that happen?.
things that happen are possible!.
great thread and to quote another great man... Ricky Bobby..." THAT JUST HAPPENED!!!"
