Sorry you deal with those things DD...your circumstances do not indicate to me that you are a d-bag.

Where is the "worship" at the KH? Maybe I missed it.

by BU2B in

worship (verb).

show reverence and adoration for (a deity); honor with religious rites.. .

i was just thinking about the two meetings a week.

There were some songs from the old song book that made me feel like I was worshipping. Fortunately I left not long after the release of the dreadful new songbook and was not subjected to those horrible compositions for very long. I remember standing there with no one singing because the melody and word combinations were impossible. I read music very well and would try, but the arrangements are so awkward and unmeaningful....they destroyed many songs that I had a fondness for.

The insensitivity and opportunistic nature of witness at the 9/11 site !

by stuckinarut2 in

i saw an online post with pictures of all the witnessing carts all around the 9/11 site during the anniversary of the tragedy.... im appalled at how opportunistic they are, and how they prey on people in a mourning and vulnerable state!.

apparantly they boast of: "there are 65 carts, with 200 witnesses manning the area... and so far 15 new studies started!".

.

I am proud to say I was never religiously opportunistic under tragic circumstances. I NEVER did cemetary witnessing even if I was the lone dissident and needed to get 90 hours in the last week of August. I suppose having the carts is better than having 1000 witnesses swarming the crowds of mourners. At least there is the choice to approach.

How old were you when baptized?

by Coded Logic in

i was baptized at the age of 11. like most of us, my commitment wasnt to honor god but rather i was gang pressed into the service of the wtbts.

and, at such a young age, it was impossible for me to appreciate the enormity of my actions.

honestly, how could i possibly have known any better?

16. I was the then PO's daughter and I had procrastinated enough. No one ever studied a single book with me. I just did it. Crownsville, MD...the old one. I don't remember ever having a "love for Jehovah", just a fear of losing my friends and dying at Armageddon which I truly believed in. I thought baptism would protect me. Weird.

is there any way we can try to start a crowd-fund to help terry get some wheels quicker than he currently can?

with craigslist and a couple of bucks from a few members we can help terry get moving.

does anyone have any ideas how we can do a "theists for terry" bike fund raiser and challenge the atheists to a bucket-head challenge?

A rose by any other name..............

i'm curious, why and how did you choose your username?.

does it hold any special significance for you, is there a share-able back story?.

for me sparrowdown is a playful reference to matt 10:29 and the title of the movie black hawk down.. matt 10:29 was my go-to scrip to "prove" that god cares about us as individuals.

Jehovah's Witnesses come knocking

by opusdei1972 in

interesting video, and how the witnesses reacted:.

He made some great points but shut down their minds when he brought up the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He may have actually made them think had they not been given reason to shut down. First part was great but sadly it went downhill...witnesses turn it all off when the mocking begins and their "righteous" indignation makes them dig in harder. I know...I used to do that very thing. They were so not prepared. I am sure all this tract work is dulling the recollection of basic scriptures. Who needs a bible or know what's in it when you just hand out tracts and carry a tablet??

DD-I'm a genetically lucky woman of 42 (With a bit of boxing and yoga to stay that way) so please explain 40 yr old age appropriate sex. I realize your circumstances are very different than mine but 40's should be the best. At least that's what I heard and am now living........(are there things we 40 year olds should refrain from doing without having our LifeAlerts handy?? Lol)

I do not post very often but I feel compelled to do so at this time. Terry has contributed greatly to this forum and other areas with his research and insight. He has brought out so many points I never thought to research myself and spurred me on to do so. The member causing contention on this thread just saddens me...truly. Please get past your hatred and what I perceive to be a hint of jealousy and find another thread to cause trouble. You obviously have lost sight of the kind motivation behind the start of this thread.

Thank you Terry for all you contribute!!
