WTS Suggestion Box (to give back for all the things the WT has done for us)
by return of parakeet insometimes i think we're too hard on the wts and the dubs.
a dub's life, after all, is not an easy one: minimal formal education, low-paying jobs, incessant demands on their time for meetings, field service, shunning, regular beatings for their children, etc.. even the wts itself is not immune.
think of all the hard work the gb must do to keep their "new light" up-to-date without making the old light look like a pack of lies.

I don't believe in magic per se, but I do believe there are energies and powers at work in the universe that we don't fully understand.
For example, your brain puts out measurable electrical impulses - that's a scientific fact.
We've all had the experience of meeting someone for the first time and knowing immediately that we will like/dislike them. How can we know that when we haven't even spoken to them?
Everyone puts out energy. A place can put out energy. Every get a creepy feeling when you enter a house for the first time?
My BFF lives 1000 miles away from me, but she knows when I'm having a bad day even without any communication from me. How is that possible?
Like I said, there are energies and powers at work in the universe that we don't fully understand, but I wouldn't call it "magic."

Welcome Jai! Isn't it terrible how much despair you felt over your situation in the Dubs. I'm glad your eyes are open and you're progressing. I hope you can get out while keeping your family. Good luck!

Maybe it'll be a guide to doubletalk, obfuscation, and outright deceit.

They'll prolly come out with something new. Remember the old "Make Sure" book? They didn't revise that, they replaced it with the "Reasoning" book.

are we crazier than we used to be?
by Xanthippe inthere seem to be so many tv programmes about horders whose houses are filled with rubbish that they can't throw out, peope with claustrophobia or other phobias, people with depression or anxiety illness.
i am not being accusatory because i've had depression but i'm just wondering what on earth is society doing to us?.
has there always been this level of mental health problems and they are just being given a label now and help is finally being offered?

I doubt that there's actually more mental illness now than in times past. If you read novels written in the 18th and 19th centuries you find characters who were obviously mentally ill but were classified as "eccentric." Mentally ill people in the past were either tucked away in insane asylums or relegated to the attic in the family home. Nowadays, a lot of people who would have been institutionalized in the past are able to lead normal lives with the help of medication.

Quote from this week's WT study
by dissonance_resolved in"god's servants on earth will not need to defend themselves against aliens from another planet.".
good to know- but strangely no scriptural reference for this gem..

Although it had been announced that the radio program was a play, many listeners thought that the attack was real and became frightened. Some even took certain measures in an attempt to protect themselves from imaginary aliens.
2 Today there is a real war looming on the horizon. However, people are failing to respond to its approach. This war is foretold, not in a science fiction novel, but in God’s inspired Word, the Bible. It is the war of Armageddon—God’s war against this wicked system of things. (Rev. 16:14-16) In this war, God’s servants on earth will not need to defend themselves against aliens from another planet. Still, they will be awestruck by astonishing events and by the fear-inspiring display of God’s power.
Okey dokey - no aliens. However, go a few paragraphs down and what do we find? A prophecy from the ever-reliable Holy Bible:
15 On the day of God’s warring, what will be the situation of those outside the “great valley” of protection? They will have “no precious light” of divine favor shining upon them. In that coming day of fight, “the horse, the mule, the camel, and the male ass, and every sort of domestic animal” —symbols of the nations’ military equipment— will be affected. Such equipment will be “congealed,” put out of operation as if stiffened by cold. Jehovah will also use pestilence and “the scourge.” Whether literal or not, the scourge will silence terrifying threats. On that day, “one’s very eyes . . . and tongue will rot away” in that the attackers will be able to strike out only blindly and their defiant speech will be silenced. ( Zech. 14:6, 7, 12, 15 ) No section of the earth will escape destruction. The forces lined up on Satan’s side in the battle will be tremendous. ( Rev. 19:19-21 ) “Those slain by Jehovah will certainly come to be in that day from one end of the earth clear to the other end.” — Jer. 25:32, 33 .
Oh. Thank God. No aliens.
