  the meetings are getting more boring to me.

  some of the elders during their parts just talk and talk and talk about uninteresting things.

  boring, boring.

  Who is the Faithful and Discrete Slave?

  by Etude in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently, i've had memories about that topic, which i had suppressed for a long time.

  my original question came up when i encountered a few members of the "anointed" in my congregation (we're talking almost 30 years ago).. there was one sister who partook of the "emblems" who had come from cuba.

  i learned from her that her health was frail because she had smuggled some expensive jewelry in a condom and stuck it up her colon.

  Where Do I Go Now?

  by individual in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with all the problems in the 'truth' and all the things that we know are wrong with it there seems to be aspects of their theology (i.e the sequences of the world powers, statue in daniel, the promise of world restoration again found in daniel) that to me still make sense.

  although i cannot follow a religion that believes in the destruction of all humanity barring those that respond to their own preaching work i still believe in a creator and cannot accept the teachings of other religions that have no purpose for the earth and believe that mankinds only destiny is in heaven.

  my mind keeps telling me that if god was behind a religion it would be so much better than that of the jws.
