  I grew up not fearing old age

  by Sour Grapes in

  2. experiences

  as a teenage jw, i grew up believing that i was not going to finish high school nor would i get old and have to die like my grandparents did.

  well, i did finish high school, as did my children and my grandchildren and old age has not been kind to me.

  i don't like to look at pictures from 40 years ago, from a time when i was healthy and i had the goal of "stay alive till 75.

  Looks like "staying alive until (you're) 75 (hopefully longer, and in good health)" is the current watchword .....

  is there a danger in being financially secure?

  by hoser in

  this question keeps repeating itself within myself.

  why is the watchtower so hell-bent on keeping jw's undereducated, underemployed and under financed?.

  is it a control issue?.

  .... it's nothing compared to the danger of being financially insecure... JWs make a virtue of financial irresponsibility

  Striaghtshooter has a point: no reference whatsover to surviving Armageddon and never dying; anyone remember "Millions Now Living... etc.?"

  Why doesn't the faithful & discreet slave declare their identity outside of the JW community?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  certainly the identity of god's chosen messenger is bigger than any other current news, right?

  i'm not saying j.r. needs to do a press conference, but at the least they could publish it in their public literature.

  why keep it a big secret?

  This claim of theirs (the 1919 "appointment") is utterly undeserving of being taken seriously

  "fine" this, "fine" that..... "the best assemby (meeting, convention, etc.) ever"... does anyone ever say: "actually I thought last year's was better" ??

  "ones," as in "wicked ones," "faithful ones," etc.

  DO Brown Payne tells SA audience Serena Williams "disciplined" by her local elders for swearing on TV

  by oppostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  at today's special assembly in natick ma, bro brown payne annouced to the audience that serena williams was disciplined by her local elders for her swearing escapade on tv.. saying: "can jehovah's witnesses swear like that on tv?

  " then he told the audience that she was "disciplined" by the elders of the congregation she's a publisher in.. doesn't this smack of revealing the private business of another person?

  the most the local elders could have said was "a matter concerning serena williams has been handled by the elder body".

  No biggie.... her run-in with the elders was mentioned in a profile published in the New York Times Sunday Magazine a month or so ago.
