i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.

i know that the farms have been around for decades but i was wondering if the watch tower farms ever abbreviate their name simply to wtf?
.
As a matter of fact....the last time my wife and son visited (many years ago) on a factory tour they saw WTF stenciled on a number of carts used to move magazines. We all chuckled.
i think i read somewhere that if you have been inactive for ten years plus, the elders will not try to meet with you and corner you to get you back "in".
is that true?.
i just realized that mr. spiral and i haven't gone to meetings or reported time for over ten years.
They've been coming to my door once or twice a year, always unannounced, always rebuffed.
I've not been to a meeting in what will be ten years this fall. They came by again not long ago prompting me to ask the PO to put me on the do not call list. So far no visits. Keeping my fingers crossed.
any chance simon can make arrangements to have the gorilla channel run on this site?.

just thought i'd start a thread about what i've been up to recently.
any comments and suggestions are welcome.. so here goes .... i'm interested in enrolling for a master's degree and i've almost completed it.
i just need one more reference, plus i need to sort out the finances.. i'd been claiming universal credit for 2 years after graduating from uni.
so, i was sort of forced to spend time with my uber-in parents.
they went on gushing about the website, and the new business cards they have to give out to busy people.
business cards?
Tell your parents you've joined the VAA. When they give you a puzzled look tell them to look it up!
this is my first post, i will introduce myself later.
first of all, i must say that english is not my mother tongue (i'm spanish), so excuse me if i make any mistake.. do you think that some people simply can't cope with being outside the jws?
some of them are too worldlyphobic to be around non-jws, too dependent on a fixed set of rules in order to carry on with their lives, too dependent on the hope of paradise and resurrection, too unable to leave their personal comfort zone within the organization.
Smoking is an immense source of comfort for those addicted to nicotine. Smokers describe it as a social blanket that keeps them warm when stressed by the trials of the day.
Just because a practice makes someone "feel better" doesn't mean they are better off continuing the same.
lots of people are drinking heavily and letting their wives drive..
In all actuality you may as well drive drunk tonight cause god's gonna kill you anyway for celebrating Christmas.
I'm a little tipsy myself right now but I'm at home and ain't driving. Come to think of it I'll hav e another.
Cheers and Merry Christmas to all you apustatees!
counties once at war with one another can forgive and move on.
even horrible murderers who killed the family members of someone can be forgiven for the act that they did.. but god, no no no.
no such thing can happen.
And just think, this all happened just six thousand years ago!
was there one certain event or was it more a cumulative thing?.
I remember going over the "questions" in the Lamp Book.at the age of 12. After all, armageddon was nigh.
Later on, I felt bad because I just got dunked, never having gone to JG in prayer and dedicating my life to do his will. Who knows, maybe this is my loophole? At 16 I recall telling my dad, the PO at the time, that I didn't agree with all the wacky teachings, (the UN, the numerology, the shifting dates, the blood doctrine) but thought it was the "best way of living." Oddly enough that didn't even phase him. I think he agreed. Toward the end of his life, although we never spoke of it, I could see his doubts.
In adulthood, I really grappled with the murder of billions so JG could prove himself right. Serving as an elder, I had a front row seat to the backstabbing, self serving, even criminal behavior of fellow elders. I began to see how my kids were being forced to do something they didn't want and that was pretty much the last straw.
In answer to your question, it was definitely cumulative and took decades. Thanks to the internet, now people can find out immediately that their doubts and concerns are valid. Perhaps this will embolden some to leave more quickly.
