  unproductive kingdom proclaimers won't leave my kingdom hall, how do i rid our hall of these vultures or turkeys?.

  "you can't fly like the eagles if you hang out with turkeys".

  after visiting your site, i decided to allow one of the spiritual weak individuals into my car group, it was not easy but you have made valid points i find very self condemning.

  How the Society Portrays Cultural Diversity

  what's wrong with this picture?.

  the watch tower society claims that its members are united spiritually despite ethnic and cultural diversity; they speak a "pure language.

  " an anglo-american religion, whose mother tongue is english, jehovah's witnesses see paradise - in saturated color - as though already "present.

  The Other Side of the Indian Rape Story

  by fulltimestudent in

  i'm posting this story, not to defend an indefensible act, but to try to provide some balance.

  the fact is that so many indians exist in a poverty so deep that it's difficult for westerners to even understand.

  the youngest of the rapists in the now world known rape story, according to this uk, independent newspaper story, grew up in that world that seems hopeless.

  saying its the other side of the story is stupid. This isnt a he said she said- its not your parents getting divorced and trying to understand where your dad is coming from.

  A WOMAN WAS RAPED AND MURDERED. THE MEN WHO DID THIS DONT HAVE A SIDE OF THE STORY WHICH JUSTIFIES THEIR ACTIONS.

  I doubt your credibility, full time student. youre a boorish lout.

  Flip-flopping all over the place

  one minute i'm believing completely in god and in jesus christ, and in the next instance i'm questioning all religious systems in general.

  i think i'm just lacking faith, but then in the back of my head i'm wondering if i've just been so indoctrinated and deluded...that i can't imagine living without considering that there is a god to be worshiped, or that i need to worship god in order to be happy.

  i don't know how full-blown atheists or full blown christians do it either way.

  Hi Confused!

  I have been where you are now! I remember even trying to explain to my parents that I was in fact, VERY confused.

  Thats the only way I could explain the big knot of ideas in my head.

  The big questions in life are the most important- kudos to you for recognizing that.

  My first advice is to give it time. If you keep examining things, they do fall apart- or open up. It may take time, but eventually you may find something you can believe in that doesnt feel like a deluded security blanket. Dnt rush it though, and dont worry if letting go of your beliefs feels like you are suddenly an astronaut in outer space.

  Not knowing you at all, my advice for someone your age is to think about going to college.

  Also- give yourself permision to think freely. It is only you in there, and even if you still believe in an omniscient God- he would know your doubts anyway- so go ahead and let it happen. If you can do this, you will feel a lot better in any situation, and be better prepared for life in general.

  Weird "new world" artwork from the 2013 calendar

  by cedars in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mother-in-law has a strange obsession with calendars, and orders the society's calendar each year.

  this year's calendar is especially weird.

  it features images depicting future events - in particular, the society's vision of the new world order.. i've taken the opportunity to scan some of the images for you all to check out.. please note - there are captions for each of the images, but i don't have the english language version of the calendar so i'd rather just quote the scripture used so as not to reveal which country i'm in.. .
