  maybe these occupations are quoted to make a point, but it loses meaning when maybe 1% of brothers i know actually has these as jobs..

  Re: Why aren't you an Atheist?

  Because I don't have all the answers and I like to pretend that there's someone that listens to my concerns when I feel I can't bear them alone. I don't pray to a specific God or Gods, and I'm deist, so I don't believe that God or Gods intervene (but I still like pretending he/she/it/they do/does, even though it's selfish of me when I think about others).

  It doesn't do our cause much good to stereotype elders like that, if lurkers come to the site they could quickly dismiss the arguments being made.

  I had to be very open-minded (obviously) when I found this website. As Russel said: “A truth presented by Satan himself is just as true as a truth stated by God. . . . Accept truth wherever you find it, no matter what it contradicts” (WT 7/1879, pp. 8-9). I hear out everyone regardless.

  Please excuse my ignorance and my taking things literally, but is a 'window-washer' someone who just does that? Or is that what you fellows call custodians? I also think (assume) the point trying to emphasized is that JWs are not too keen on education?

  

  Is this the type of 'window-washer' referred to in the OPs first post?

  I didn't take your advice and this is the result...

  by MsGrowingGirl20 in

  recently i told you all that i wanted to e-mail two friends some of the things i was struggling with in an effort to help them wake up or at least for them to understand me...97% of you all told me that it was a bad idea.

  i still decided to do it.

  so i e-mailed her sincerely asking questions on five points---1) health care flip flops 2) false prophecies 3) mediatorship of jesus 4) un 5)1918.. she replied about 8 hours after.

  @MsGrowingGirl20

  I want to do the same thing as you, but my friend whom I care a lot about only has internet on her phone. I really appreciate/like her and will be sad if I don't wake her up in time [before I either fade, get caught, or DA myself] and she has to shun me.

  King Solomon said:

  I consider helping other here as a public service, helping young ones escape a time-sucking and energy-sapping cult that took my family).

  And thank you! You were VERY instrumental (and many other posters here) in my awakening and I thank you a lot.

  ME! I had also already learned TTATT and was appointed MS a few weeks after I joined JWN (when I woke up completely). It does make people think whether the HS has anything to do at all (it doesn't).

  The magazine's date is January 1, 2013 and they're talking about December 21, 2012.

  "How do you feel about December 21, 2012, the date on the Maya calendar that many have been saying would bring worldwide change? Depending on what you expected, you might be relieved, disappointed, or indifferent. Was it just another incorrect prediction for the end of the world?"
