If you belong to a religion other than JWs you should use your powers of independent thinking to leave that religion and join JWs. Then, since you have found The Truth you should turn off the independent thinking and just accept what they feed you.

Yeah, and Sarah was still a hot chick at 90. Maybe the gravity wasn't as strong back then.

And the point of this video is??
by cedars inhere's a few guesses.... the brooklyn waterfront is a convenient place for the society to make their videosgrowing up as a jw when your friends have cellphones and you don't is "kind of rough" and a "kind of sad story"suddenly it's ok for jw youths to "go out" with worldly friends?
?you should listen to what your "peers" say, so long as they're jws on a society video.
anything else is peer pressure.playing by yourself with a frisbee is the preferred sport for young people (no teams or competition involved)young jws don't have a clue how to communicate with the opposite sex via text messages"it's really up to you how you choose to communicate with this wonderful tool that you have"... even though it clearly isn't.the society's video-making department are already running out of ideashttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se_iuspg_14.

Who are this kid's "friends" who all had cell phones when he didn't have one? It seems to imply that he was running around with a crowd of "worldly" kids.
It's one more piece of technology that the GB can't control. It was so much easier back in the old days when CB radios were the big threat to spirituality.

I ran into an inactive JW at the store we talked for 20 minutes
by RayPublisher ini ran into an inactive jw at a department store last night and we talked for 20 minutes easily, it was actually pretty fruitful.

The titles meant something back in the days when we paid a certain amount for the literature. Pioneers and Temporary Pioneers got a discount rate so that they could make a little money off their placements. Pennies meant something back when gas was less than 50 cents a gallon.
Nowadays, the only real benefit to having the title of "Pioneer" is going to Pioneer School and the extra days of everlasting life you accrue for each year of pioneering.

Welcome, Sparlock!
I'm happy for you that you woke up at a young age! I was JW for 30 years and finally got disgusted over the rampant pedophilia and left 9 years ago.
You might enjoy reading my humorous blog about life as a JW:

Confrontation of Needed Worldwide Church of God apologies
by Gayle inhttp://hwarmstrong.com/apology-worldwide-church-of-god.htm.
now their church is so splintered it is hardly recognizable anymore anywhere.. most of these are amazingly similar to those necessary by the wts, of which they also will never apologize for either.. interesting, how a very strong 'end-times' religion can go down eventually.. .

Well, it's nice to know we're not the only ones who fell for that load of crap.
