  Stress of Going to a Summer Convention

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  spotted this picture on a friend's page, he was highlighting the mental health issue.

  however,we thought the magazine on stress was deliberately placed in the summer months because for any jw going to a convention, paying high season hotel rates for themselves or their whole family to stay near the convention centre, fighting coworkers and managers to get the time off work, travelling expenses, buying their own meals for the family, buying new shiny suits and dresses to impress (particularly if you have teenage girls who are looking for their prince), and more.... by the time they come home again and straight away back to work, their nerves will be so frazzled that their stress levels will have sky rocketed!.

  as brother elder says to them, "don't worry.

  ONE new watchtower, and ONE new awake?

  Sounds like "The Slave" is cutting down on the food at the proper time. Nothing like trying to starve people you are supposed to be feeding!

  JWs and Prepping

  by TD in

  2. friends

  the jws i know (which admittedly are more liberal than most) are suddenly into prepping to one degree or another.

  some have simply assembled "go bags" with basic common sense supplies in case they need to bug out in the event of a natural disaster and others seem to be seriously into it, almost to the degree to which mormons are.

  backup generators and a year's supply of food and water).

  What about the shotgun to ward off hungry animals only

  Whether or not I were still running the JW hamster wheel I would still have a "bug out" bag ready. That is just good sense these days. It has two weeks of non-perishable food, water treatment tablets (much lighter than water to carry), a good first aid kit, basic survival supplies and best of all three extra boxes of .45 ACP hollow points and three fully loaded magazines for my trusty 1911 .45 "hammer". For hungry "animals" y'know.

  But, that shouldn’t ever stop a talented younger person from a less affluent situation from trying.

  So very true. I personally have a saying, "There is no shame in trying, and failing. The shame is not trying at all." In my years on this earth I have had the opportunity and fun of doing many things that most people would be afraid to try. Was I a blazing success at all of them? Probably not, but I sure had a helluva fun ride!

  As an avid musician I had the opportunity to rub elbows with a number of well known entertainers during the 70'-80's and 90's. As a lifelong horse owner I had the chance to raise and break cutting bred horses that are even now well known blood-lines in the show world. I had a very well paying secular career on top of that and was able to pay as I went and save a sizable amount that I can comfortably live off of now that I am "older" having lived through the better parts of seven decades and wanting to slow down to a fast trot instead of living at a run.

  I even ran the hamster wheel of Jw-ism for most of my life until I finally got FedUp with the hypocrisy and biased lies.

  I feel like I have lived more than one life time in my relatively few years on this planet, yet I have ZERO regrets, and when it comes time to take the eternal dirt nap I will go with a grin on my face knowing that I wasn't just alive, I LIVED!

  Thanks to all who provided the written announcement record about Ray Franz. Shows how memories fail after many decades. I knew I had read it, but could not remember exactly where. Thanks again!

  Looking for the WT that announced Ray Franz no longer governing body member. I remember reading it, but that was so very long ago. Anyone perhaps have that information?

  OP’s comment from a JW that “Jehovah’s organisation has never stopped anyone from growing a beard” is true.

  Just like Jackson's comment about it "seem[ing] presumptuous to claim to be God's sole channel," is entirely true. It was not, and never will be an admission of governing body presumptuousness, it is though a statement of fact that people would [correctly] think the governing body claiming to be God's sole channel was presumptuous.

  When is America going to bring some sensible gun laws? .?

  Right after they finally, if EVER, get sensible crime punishment laws! Ever firearm I own was legally purchased, according to the law. Every firearm I own has never in over six decades of ownership been used in a crime. Several firearms I own have been used to either prevent a crime, or stop a crime in progress.

  But hey, it's THE GUN, not the idiot criminal wielding one that is to blame. . .right?

  they just have fits with any hair past the corner of your mouth no matter what

  And we can't forget the "credit card" rule for a mustache. A strip of bare skin at least the thickness of a credit card must be trimmed between your lip and the longest 'stache hair. At least that was a rule in the area I live.
