or more like a thunking sound really, which set our little dog into a fit of barking.
i crawled out from behind the fridge where i was doing a repair on the waterline for the icemaker, so i could go see what all the commotion was about.
i fugured it was going to be my neighbor returning my ladder but instead it was jw's handing out memorial invites.. the woman and the young man (her 20 something son) were people i had known but hadn't seen since we faded 4+ years ago.
" She said " Oh but everything has changed, it's so different now... the literature is so encouraging".
WTF?? Has everything changed in the organisations and teachings since 2009??? The old truths are gone??Or, was it just a bit of theocratical warfare?
serve god without regrets?.
who said: i do repent [feel regret,.
(b) in what sense has jehovah felt regret,.
Yes..I think paragraph 16 is remarkable. Why did they write that paragraph if not a lot of people in the congregations are bitter and have regrets? The big A cannot be just some months away decade after decade.
that's right... 4 freemasons are quoted with honorable mention in today's wt rag study... anyways, these are:.
paragraph 1: john greenleaf whittier (1807-1892) - freemason and quaker poet who wrote "masonic voice review".
there is even a freemason affiliated lodge in massachusetts named after him... the john greenleaf whittier order of demolay which is part of the "freemasons of the eastern star"... paragraph 4: albert barnes (1798-1870) - freemason and presbyterian who was directly involved in the gnostic liberation front which, among other false teachings, attempted to dissuade their members into believing that lucifer is not satan.
This is an interesting observation. At least some peoble at the writing departement are very familiar with masonic litterature.
ok.. you 70 plus bethelite members.... this is your chance to share stories!
inquiring minds want to know !no full names please..follow t.o.s.
to avoid borg libel lawsuits).. i will start the ball rolling with week one.
Well well..I am not that surprized. It must be a very destructive environment in a psychologigal aspect.
Even bethelites need that...what did you call it in another thread....dauchery/bauchery??? maybe debaucery?...but a prostitute at Bethel .
the new wt 2013 june tells kids that they might get to study with a pirate someday!
perhaps johnny depp will be resurrected for just that purpose?.
.
Hortensia, yes, that classic sign-language vidoe is the best the society has produced so far! Better than the pirates..the "Watchtower wankers" are just epic.
since april 1st will be officially 6 months and i will be considered inactive, i thought this would be a good time for me to review my life since leaving....and i guess wtbt$ is right in that my life would return to a debauched state if i left them...so here is my review and i'm being totally serious here.. .
sex: yes i have sex with my husband.....i guess we have returned to the world because we take advantage of our marital dues.. related to sex: no longer just missionary.
drugs: yes i have been taking drugs......my allergies have been so bad the last few days i just couldn't handle it anymore and i gave in to the temptation to take over the counter allergies medicine.. rock and roll: yes......i am no longer listening to the kingdom melodies (i never really did anyways), and have gone to listening to the devils music.
Maybe we all should try that debauchery?? It sounds quite nice.
i have been wandering around the board for a while now, and have decided it is time to contribute a bit of my history.
i have described my involvement with the witnesses as being from the outside looking in.
my sweet honey has been trying for two years to get reinstated.
Interesting story! Thank you!

Not exacley...but as far as I remember a vercict in the european court was that the Watchtower society was to be regarded as a religion, and not just a publishing company, and thereby not to obliged to be taxed as a publishing company.
.
that flood that according to the bible was several meters higher than everest (note noah and everything on his boat would not be able to,breathe at this height) apparantly didn't do that much damage to civilisations in world history...... funny that?
i wonder what else is bullsh*t in those scrolls????.
That never happened??? :-O

''it's just a freak accident; just tragic circumstances.
he was just a very nice, considerate kind of person,'' he said.. ''they have freezer loads of food donated; flowers.
Delivering pamphlets!? Shall we make a guess. The widow, Melinda won't get a cent from the Watchtower association.
