Jws are better at arguing what they DON'T believe, than what they DO believe.

why was the ministry so much arguing over who our perception of god was?..
when we were witnessing we could thank jehover for the trinity...but now i think the trinity is what jehovers witnesses like to discuss as it avoids stops any talk on real understanding.....because our god is different and right we could always fall back on the trinity.. .

before the usual suspects start reaching for the pich-forks and forming a mob, i invite you to actually read and consider this, not just leap to conclusions.. http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/americas/united-states/130607/7-graphs-america-overrated-nsa-prism-privacy.
why do i care?
it seems the people being screwed the most are also the most visciferous defenders of the status quo which sees them being severely disadvantaged.. maternity leave?
Some of the responces remind me of 1812. The canadians of the time enlisted the help of the indians in fighting the americans. The americans of the time were afriad of indians, saw them as enemies. The canadian coalition of native and canadian won out over the americans. The canadians won because of the allies that they made at home. The point is that taking a more engaging position can bring benefits.

Back in the day, they just called it ugly. And, if it was really bad, fugly. Nowadays, more and more simple things are getting multiple word renames. Whats w that?

i notice the latest yearbook was making a big think about jws being more populous than the country of switzerland.
jws have overtaken a number of small countries in recent years, such as norway, denmark, israel, el salvador, finland, georgia, hong kong and new zealand.
they will be overtaking places like austria, portugal, belgium and greece next.
If by some chance a country became 74% jw, like austria is 74% catholic, i wonder what that country would be like. I have never haerd that austria is worse than any other country.

i"m listening to the 2013 dc green bay saturday talk on false gods.. the speaker says no one would knowingly worship false deities.
but could we inadvertantly give jehovah less than exclusive devotion he deserves.. he said:you have not allowed this deception power of sin to sensual desires, material comforts, pets, technology, entertainment or food to become objects of devotion to you.. anything that interferes with our spiriutal routine has the power of eroding or weaking our relationship with jehovah.. .
my dogs can erode my relationship with jehovah.
They have a few cute kitten shows, cat and dog sanctuary shows on tv. Also, unusual buddy shows where young animals of different species bond and stay friends for yrs. There was even one, where a goose fixated on a guy who used to walk around a pond. The goos would walk slightly in front of him. It would fly beside him when he was on his scooter. EVIL - mixing different 'kinds' like that;)

i'm trying to figure it out.
if we are just dead then there is no point to anything i do.
i'd like to hope our energy goes somewhere... but, i'd like to examine what somebody presents as proof....
I recommend watching 'what dreams may come'. Although parts are depressing, i tend to agree w its basic idea.

Proof, thats a toughie. Its out of the domain of science.
I have seen my dead brother, though, say what they will.

she knows when i am lying.
she knows when i am keeping a secret.
she has this really weird way of reading my mind sometimes.
Sounds like shes demonized. Joke, joke. Its a tough thing you are facing.

one of the most persistent myths on this website is that jws are already in decline, the rot has set in, and the descent of the watchtower is inevitable from here on in.
unfortunately the facts do not bear this out.
jws are still increasing even in most developing countries, and they are still growing worldwide at a faster rate than the general population.
You mean that they are doing fine without me??!! Damn them;) Thats inconcievable.
