  I will be there in july of this year (Maui and Big island) with my JW wife and children. Last year we were in Alaska, the year before Mexican Riviera, year before Cancun, year before Cabo San Lucas and plenty of short vacations in between, in the western U.S. Tough!!! Don't you think

  They have a great point (Jw's) when they say the signs of the end of the world are quite obvious. Yeah, any of those vacations is costing me an average of 8,000.00. That's got to be one of the signs of the end coming. In paradise we will not have to spend that kind of many. I hope God gets me my free vacations soon.

  interesting comment box from a 2012 wt mag...found this when looking for something else.

  .

  sure, "they realize that when a child becomes an adult, he or she will make a personal choice with regard to worship" but if their decision is to not be a jw, they are cut off from their family.. talk about deception, these guys are masterful... .

  A point which virtually every JW will miss in this week's book study

  by sir82 in

  from this week's book study, the "draw close to jehovah" book, chapter 5:.

  biologists have identified well over a million species of living things on earth; yet, opinions vary as to whether there may be as many as 10 million, 30 million, or more.. .

  wow!

  Letter should be read but not posted on the board. Not enough time to do the math and find out that it is "fuzzy math" as George Bush would say.

  pope takes responsibility for child abuse scandaltalks of sanctions; victims groups call for actionby john l. allen jr. | globe staff april 11, 2014pope francis asked forgiveness for the child sexual abuse scandals in the catholic church on friday, the first time hes done so as pope, and also said the church must be very strong in responding to the ongoing legacy of that crisis, including imposing forceful sanctions.. in remarks during an address to a french child protection group, francis said he took personal responsibility for what he described as the evil of child sexual abuse in the catholic church.. i feel called to take upon myself all the evil that some priests many, many in number, though not in proportion to the totality to take it upon myself and to ask forgiveness for the harm theyve done, for the sexual abuse of children, the pope said.the church is aware of this harm, he said.

  its a personal and moral harm, but by men of the church.

  "and the wts has appealed against the judgement against in the Candace Conti case thereby defending the offender"

  I hate the Governing Body with all my guts, but I wouldn't make the statement above. The WT is defending itself. Let us stay objective.

  when i worked for a book store i became familiar with beka text books for home school.. i spoke with the mothers who came looking for them.

  i realized something didn't smell right.. then, i realized there are a couple of generations of fundamentalist kids who have had no exposure.

  to the scientific method, science facts or any conversancy with physics or biology or history as a result of beka textbooks.. in a nutshell here is the situation:.

  Terry,

  "Cistine Chapel"

  Time to get a 3x5 card with the word "Sistine"

  Correcting guys/ladies who are smarter and more knowledgeable than I am makes me feel smart, even if for a moment.

  By the way, thank you for your great comments. I never skip your threads.

  I also believe that there's home schooling and there's home schooling. Similarly there are public schools and there are public schools. Public school, especially in some areas of Los Angeles County, are not much better than home schooling for christians, just more dangerous

  Celebrating WTBTS Memorials in Public Venues

  by ABibleStudent in

  2. experiences

  the kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses is having a memorial celebration on april 14, 2014 at 7:05 pm pst at the westlake hyatt in westlake village, ca, usa.. i am thinking about greeting celebratants as they leave with poster(s) and business cards with qr codes for www.jwfacts.com and www.freedomofmind.com.

  my intent is not to debate or convert "spiritual strong" (non-thinking) jws, but to provide life-saving information to "spiritually weak" (still thinking) jws suffering from the wtbts's "undue influence" and bite control.

  i might even be eating crackers (and cheese) and drinking red wine at the exit.. my plan is to place up to three posters across from the exit of the celebration and then place business-size cards with "critically think for yourself" and qr codes on the back.

  Hi ABS,

  You seem to live in area that I visit quite frequently. I service office equipment in the entire county actually. I am curious about what apostates look like. I have never met one. I am not an apostate because I never got baptized, so my reflection in the mirror doesn' help. I bet you guys have horns and tails. Let's meet
