Whitney Houston, We Will Miss You Forever! Dam Drugs, I Hate Them!

i am working on a paper about the suicide and economic index of happiness, reuters shoots her death, pass my desk, "sh*t , i think" life can be so brutal.

with this in mind, i would like to ask you if you are happy, with your current life, if not are you working towards it?

there is a decent size group of ex-jws and jws who have "checked out of this existence" mentally, and allow shi**y people to screw their brains up.

Talespin I like your "life is like an ocean" analogy, talking with a friend, he thought his life was the "River Styx" without the coin in his mouth. He is trying to overcome some addictions, with family shunning (not a exJW, which surprised me, just angry and bitter family squabbles it appears.) "consciously trying to look at life realisticly" so true, so true! With health, it's a bitch for those whose body has betrayed them, by going bananas for no apparent reason. My heart does break, for those who can't pay for medicine or treatment, more signs or posters, are being pasted by those who are begging for money, to treat their cancers. Whitney's battle with her addiction and defeat bummed me out today. I loved her vivacious music, upbeat personality when she first started singing, only to have low lifes introduce her, to self-defeating substances. I hope you ride the wave of life, and remain thriving, and are able to find those, harbors of calmness during the wicked storms

Aussie It's nice you take the bull by the horn, and have fought the guilt of feeling like a "tool of the Devil". I don't know any honest human, who is able to withstand the guilt, we have been ingrained with, by a group of men. There is a book called "Snakes In Suits", do you think it might apply to those who push their unbibilical guilt tactics, onto people with a heart? With your physical and mental health, do you try to avoid negative people, who are perpetually miserable. I find this simple concept, has helped me reach from my despairs and dark thoughts. The old adage, "misery loves company" is being fullfilled at the Kingdom Hall. The Kingdom Halls, where crazy people are allowed to say mean, stupid and cracked ideas over the loud speaker. If Whitney had avoided her bad boy husband, and socialized with good, realistic humans, who knows?

"Baking Soda" I have heard good news about baking soda and but it's suppose to have more power with "Organic Apple Cider Vinegar" , other homeopaths are talking about good vinegar from Modena Italy to complement the baking soda to balance your body's PH level and beat Chandia. Asprin too, a tad bit for the inflamation cancer thrives off of, I digress, sorry.

Is your life working, to the best of your ability, with your current resources (emotional, human, financial) and are you thriving? People, we need to try to "Thrive" Thrive, Thrive, in this boiling pot, called life! Whitney had every advantage and no advantage "Paradox of Wealth" simultaneously. I hope Jehovah, Jesus or Life is watching over you, and keeping you warm tonight. Prayers to Whitney's family and Bless you all JWN!

Overlapping generation segment on the new Circuit Assembly program

by traveb in

so there i was at the circuit assembly sunday morning with my eyes glazed over as usual when all of a sudden, bam!

a demo with two brothers talking about the new overlapping generation teaching.

the reason it took me by surprise was because it occured during the second talk of the sunday morning symposium, "sanctify god's name by your speech".

How could we work Matthew 23:15 in this model of belief? Jesus told his followers the Scribes and Pharisees made their followers "Twice as worthy for Ghenna" than, those preaching the outrageous silly stuff. Did Jesus mean, if a follower blindly belives anything, he makes himself twice as worthy for Hell, than those who were the "teachers"?

"Maybe they will overlap the C.A." ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

No, the rank and file are still grumbling, even with J. R. Alley Cat C.O.s confusing clarification of this. One C.O. I will not mention said "you people need to get over this, this concept is not that diffucult to understand, remeber the movie "Titantic", no I mean the "Titanic Ship that crashed into an iceberg? How many of you were alive? Nobody raised their hand, Ok, How many of you were born when the Titanic hit the iceberg? Nobody raised their hand. "How many of you knew somebody that was born when the Titanic crashed?" A few hands were raised in the audience "Well, we are now getting somewhere." This madness left most of the Hall, more confused than the C.O. had anticipated! Such a clear distortion of Jesus Christ's words, is driving the RF nuts.

How many times in field service were we told "First born" does not mean "born first" by those trying to dismantle scriptures that prove Jesus was a created entity. Beating up the word and concept of "generation" will not make this dogma work, it's wreaking havoc and not sustainable as a JW teaching.

I am tired tonight, I was not clear on my last post, my sarcasm was not as strong as it should have been. I found no joy working with those loosing their minds, I would come home and take a shot whiskey, angry! Hand walking the elderly door-to-door was not so bad, having dirty, stinky and loud elderly, is another issue. The in-crowd elders and pioneers would always have arrangements or not show up to "field service meetings", unless the C.O. was in town. We were dumped on, and I don't feel much joy, for all the time I spent preaching and pushing mags and tracts, Sorry if my writting was not clear. I had sisters agree with householders who said "You are a cult!" sister insane "yes!" One mentally insane sister said "We worship Satan!" this infront of everyone, ackward!!!!!! It's been a year since I stopped going, I have had enough for now, maybe I might lose my mind and join again? Factfinder, do you find yourself more happy now? How has life improved since leaving the Org, I would love to know.

How many of us have Higher Learning, and still mop floors

by Quarterback in

jw
friends

someone who works at a college locally, pointed out to me that one of their scholar students was stocking shelves at a dollar store.. with this recession, are you finding that higher learning is wasting time?

.

i know that it's necessary to become a dr. or a lawyer, but, with the shortage of work, even teachers are working as secretarys.. what do you think?.

Depends on your education, age and brain power, the companies used the layoffs to unload, some of their weakest links. One of the biggest employers (Not Walmart, they are always hiring the lowest common denominator) ask me if I knew anyone who need a job ( $12 an hour), and "no, I did not mention the local kingdom hall." the manager could not find decent english speaking employees, who could follow simple directions. Very seldom do you see a highly trained, motivated and properly educated person, stocking shelves at the Dollar Tree, unless we are talking about Oregon, whose economy is the Twilight Zone "Chemical Engineers" making $12 hr, Structural Engineers making $30k per year, I prefaced this with "highly motivated (would move to another state.)......"

Some degrees transfer so easy to almost any field, "Masters In Finance, concentration in accounting and business admin" my friend has never been out of work, longer than he wanted to be.

"M.B.A with minors in International Business, Marketing" still able to find jobs, quit Fidelity to work for a wild cat drilling company Haliburton, he was highly motivated to move to the Dakotas.

"Factfinder" You know you angered your fellow brother, when he assigned you with "Lucy who left her mind" or "Burned out Bob" , the "Shiney Happy Strong Ones" left the weak to handle the the "door to door" work, and baby sit the insane, while the Beacons Of Light, made calls on the weak (Figure that one out?), return visits, and even called on the local cemetery.

"Overlapping generation" explanation - TRANSCRIBED EXTRACT from Friday's talk (DC 2011-12)

by AnnOMaly in

i thought this would be easier to examine if written down:.

god's kingdom will soon come.

so we know that god's kingdom will soon come.. .

Is it any wonder, there is so much confliction among elders? Recent themes "Elders need to unite, elders need to submitt, elders need to obey" hoping brothers will draw the next conclusion, elders need to avoid thinking or researching material, not sanctioned by the Slave. My favorite brother, rolled his eyes, when J. R. Alleycat Allia C.O., tongue twisted (spoke in tongues, to those who don't read the Bible, but knod their heads in agreement and awe.) "It's not the destination, it's the explanation!) his interpretation of the "new light". My dear friend said, "Why don't they just give up on this, let it die?" After Alley Cat Allia's explanation, the circuit was starting to murmur, we received a second talk, explaining the ease of complication.

Ramblings of a tired, worn out, book and magazine "Pusher"

I am stuck in Limbo, reading the Watchtower of February 15, 2012, wondering where I went wrong. How come I am not the happiest person on Earth? Why don't I have the rivers of joy, promised by the CO, for my lifetime of Field Service? Why am I starting to feel bitter towads hipocrites and liars now, things I tolerated in the past, mild evils I ignored, bit my tongue when outspoken experts of the Bible, talked out of their ass. Listening to hours of self-appointed maritial experts (after six divorces, he was an expert) was enough to make me drink. Experts with broken lives, helping and healing the wicked World's broken familes, in between coffee breaks. Who is to blame for my malovent attidude towards those who claim to have Jehovah's direction, but fail to back up this claim?

Did I forget to tell you, in two paragraphs the lesson refered to "more preaching, quality preaching, greater service, more hours, talking about your faith, door to door, telephone talking, elders doing more, elders trying to imitate the fine examples of COs ect........ Your field service days, where planned in advance or did you wing it? Are you a gambler, who showed up to the arrangements without a partner? Masochistic type, your the sister we dumped all the insane publishers with? Please help me with a redo of M&Ms "Loose Yourself In The Moment" please!

"Loose yourself in the Field Service, the door to door work, telephone preaching work,

you will never regret it, no regrets of it, you got to loose yourself in the "service"
