that ad is really getting to me, lol.
how many people do you think could be impaled on that thing when its finished?.
gbl.
I've clicked on it too I can't honestly see the Israeli authorities permitting such a monstrosity to be built so I do wonder if this is a money-making racket, "Well we raised all this money but we just found out we can't use it for its intended purpose so we'll keep it to fund ourcars, houses, luxury yachtsministry."
Oh no do you think they'll give me my 20 quid back
i worked in the sound department for regional building committees, as well as in the congregations.. .
i did this on the east coast of the us, the west coast of the us, and south florida.. .
no matter where i went, the poor state of the local congregations sound system was always the fault of the spanish brothers.
We moved to Huddersfield in West Yorkshire in '78
When my mum phoned up enquiring about the KH, the lady on the phone said
"Technically you'll be in Huddersfield East territory, but I'd think about coming to Huddersfield West cong because they have a lot of black brothers."
Pretty dumb for a telephone comment with a stranger you'd never seen.
My Mum is Malaysian and she was very offended.
We went to Huddersfield East

I was deliberately not clicking on it.
Then a visitor asked what it was about so we had a look
Could have been worse
Could have been a giant Watchtower
do you believe that divorce rates among jw's is higher or lower than the averages now?.
in the us - at least recently - it was said that about 50% of all marriages will end in divorce.. for decades as a jw - i believed that jw's were immune from this statistic.
among the older married couples divorce seemed almost unheard of - and still, among the older crowd, that holds true i believe.
40 of my 59 couples married under 25.

I can name about 7 or 8 couples who have split
Are you thinking very hard
I did this exercise about 5 years ago and I had 60 (Yes Sixty) couples who'd split.
Get your pens and paper out and try it.
It's a real eye opener.
it's only three minutes or so, let me know what you think.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctu6zjasupa.
thanks,.
w.once.
Final few seconds show the conditioned JW mindset.
According to the speaker.
Getting Educated = Not Trusting in Jehovah
Astounding reasoning
But we all accepted that once
when i came to the realisation that my whole religious upbringing was in question and i was led to this site, i immediately wanted to get involved - i could see that there was a lot of caring, spiritual people here that had created an amazing community and i wanted to be a part of that community (to release some pent up feelings and to maybe help others in some way) but having read that many of you guys lurked for months and in some cases years before you finally posted - i'm intrigued as to why?????
was it selfishness - couldn't bring yourself to commit and be a part of the community, you were just content to observe?
was it laziness?
Hi Besty
I've always had a considered approach to most things.
I don't think it's particularly selfish to lurk - just different personalities.
Not all of us chuck all our JW books after 3 days and then want them back
