if the ultimate goal is to reach as many people as possible with the kingdom message, why does the society find it necessary to block any public access to the new dvd?.
could it be because the public will see how vacuous their teachings are?
producing this propaganda is a new low even for them.

recently, my mother, who had stopped talking to me because i was 'apostate,' started speaking to me again.. (note that i successfully faded as opposed to ever being disfellowshipped due to dodging every elder question with "i'm not sure, i'm still searching and trying to find the answers.").
the reason why?
at the international convention this year, they receieved a new video called something or other.
Maybe the father should've told the story about Fred Hilmo falling asleep at the wheel and killing his wife on the way back to Watchtower Farm.
Actions do indeed have consequences.
Working hard in your career and being responsible often lead to happiness and prosperity.
heard from an elder friend in so.
cal that the san diego convention has new rules this year:.
no ezups or beach umbrellas.
Qualcomm (formerly Padre) stadium sits slightly east of I-15 just far enough inland to be completely brutal. Anywhere along the coast or even downtown is perfect. Why can't they hold it at Cabrillo Park?

At first I thought you were SAYING that the SD convention rules, to which I would have to disagree heartily. It's aptly named SD because it sucks a bag of d*&ks!
Now when its 100 degrees and 80% humidity you can't even shade yourself? So the lamo behind you can see the numbnuts on the stage?
What would happen if you told the attendant or said lamo to F off? Sorry brother, I can't see the stage becasue your carting that elderly sister who is suffering from heat stroke up the aisle.
Baseball stadiums were meant for sitting for three hours max in a tanktop while you swill pints of cheap beer. Not to sit in a suit and tie for days on end listening to insufferable mindless propaganda.
For no other reason than the above I would abandon this moronic cult.
are you on the earth so see how much you can give or how much you can get ?.
how so ?.
Categorizing people into "givers" or "takers" is pop psych BS. Do you really think your existence can be summed up so simplistically?
my mother in law (in her 80's) just told me that she had the elders around to pick up her 'donation' pledge.
it was 'suggested that $20 a month was the average amount pledged but she could pledge more or less.
so, rather than an anonymous amount they have a signed document stating the amount of her pledge.
Recently visited the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. For years they've been criticized for advertsising that it's free but asking for a "suggested donation." It's 25 bucks. Big deal. Well worth it. The point is, if you ask to get in for free you get the stink eye.
I'm sure its the same in the KH's. "I'm sorry I can't afford a red cent." "Reallly Bro poor beyond belief? Not even 20 bucks?"
russel is burried under the pyramid.
according to none other than frederick franz himself, in his own words!.
i read some wt trolls on here trying to say that he is under the marker a few feet away.. that is not true.
Edit to add: actually heard F Franz at Watchtower Farms in the very early 80's and he was still blubbering about the Millions Now Living Will Never Die.
Guess what? Billions then living have died. What a loony a-hole. It reminds me of the film "There Will Be Blood." The scheister preacher bilking money from ignorant hillbillies. Even though Daniel Day-Lewis' character was a socio-path, he did the world a favor.

What a F'N lunatic!
i haven't been on here long but i found this site a couple days ago and quickly realised it had a lot of posts by people going through similar experiences as me.
i read some of the answers and it helped relieve some inner anguish i've been carrying since everything i came clean to my parents about everything i've been reading about.. .
i just have been going through a rough patch right now; that might be an under or overstatement depending on your own personal experiences with this kind of stuff.
Dude.............choose your life. If you are studying biology you will quickly find that the story of Genesis is a myth at best. Everything else is window dressing. Props to you for not wanting to disappoint those close to you. That shows that you have a heart and love and care. However, the life of a JW denies all freedom of thought. It denies self esteem. It negates personal responsibility. It seems from your post that you are just beginning your life. If you desire to have a family of your own, ask yourself, do I want to raise my children with this level of misanthropy and guilt?
Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life...............
.
staying at an all inclusive for my birthday next month.
this will be the third time i use cheap caribbean.com....what a great deal..
Forget the Pina and the Colada. Just drink Rum. My fondest memory is a drunken nap on Fajardo Beach in PR. A bottle of Bruzcal by my side.
Happy Birthday and many more!
