  Gay advice from the Governing Body

  by Listener in

  according to them you are not gay if you are attracted to the same sex, it's just hormones and you might grow out of it.. i wonder what hormones in particular they are talking about and if they feel that a female who goes through menopause is in danger of turning gay or even if taking hormones will adjust your thinking?.

  this is from the wt org website.

  Things JW's and Atheists have in common

  i was just thinking about something someone said on another thread.

  to paraphrase, 'jw beliefs like there being no hellfire, immortal soul, the condition at death...have the ring of truth.'.

  i realized, atheists believe these things too!.

  There's very little difference between what Sunni and Shia Muslims believe. But that difference is enough for them to kill each other. In droves.

  I was at my mother's last week and saw a copy of the WT on the bench. Having not seen one for probably 8-10 years I was pretty shocked at how thin it was. It was more like one of the brochures than a magazine.

  There's some good advice on this thread but there's some strange advice as well.

  10-15 year plan to get out! Fuck that. You have a life to be getting on with.

  When all comes to all you just stop doing what you don't want to do anymore. It really is simple. Good luck!

  are jw's heading for the exit?

  after lurking on this site for a year or so i have noticed a number of new poster's including me.

  but does this indicate a massive departure for the exit?

  I think it's also the only social circle they have for most. They don't think about the doctrinal side enough to have doubts.

  On a personal note, as a bit of an update...... wife and I still go to the occasional meeting, maybe overy other one. The new midweek meeting arrangement is so disgustingly boring that we dont make it a real priority. Service? Not really, we might go out once a month to make a few visits on some of the older folks that seem to get lost in the shuffle. I cant stomach hocking literature, and I refuse to man a cart, or to show videos to householders.

  Your original post was three years ago, any particular reason why you're still going? Especially if you and your wife feel the same?

  which ever country you come from, if you are a football fan you know of the f.a cup.

  because the f.a cup is the oldest and most prestigious cup competition in the world.

  or at least that's the way it was when i was a kid.. now this wonderful competition has been cheapened to a non event.

  The beauty of the FA cup is that it gives the lower league clubs the chance to play the big boys at their ground. Darlington (for instance) playing Man Utd at old Trafford would financially secure Darlington FC for five years.

  A philosophical question .... what does the word God mean to you personally ?

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to myself it means to seek knowledge and understanding of are selves and the world in which we live.. unfortunately history has shown whenever one tries to connect to god and of his knowledge through men who say they themselves are connected to god through spiritual wifi ie.

  gb members of the jehovah's witnesses for example, one usually ends up finding a accumulation of only man's acquired knowledge.

  over thousands of years of trying to connect to a god(s) for help and answers, mankind has eventually relinquished himself to seeking answers through scientific investigative acquired knowledge of the world in which we live in.

  God was someone that I had a one sided relationship with for thirty years. I decided that was long enough, if he wanted to have a relationship with me, he had to put in a little more effort. Fifteen years later I'm still waiting, I guess he wasn't interested.

  It was your fault - you obviously didn't put enough effort in!
