Larc,
Have you ever thought that it might be God that has made you to be self sufficient?
Also
Why would it be impolite to pray? Would it be impolite to ask your father for help in time of need?
has anyone out there ever pondered that question?
i remember when i was a little boy i always seemed to feel so close to god.
my family was not and still isn't very religious, so why did i turn out to be that way at such a young age?

a few financial figures that happen to have fallen into my sweaty palms.
while only a small piece of the wt's financial jigsaw puzzle, they effectively illustrate the level of $ under the society's control.

JanG emailed this post to everyone on her list shortly after it was posted. I have already made copies and sent them to those I know who would be interested, including a few local KH.
as a boy, i would suffer severe attacks of sneezing, itchy eyes, and post nasal drip when i would read the watchtower.
it was especially noticable during our family watchtower study.
i began to think it was the paper its printed on.
The Governing Body wants Gingers phone number.
passed on from a loyal jw:.
disgrace was surely brought upon jehovah's name last night.
on the 10 o'clock news there is this program called the problem solvers.
The elder learned from the best. The WT breeds deception.
hi everyone, sorry about the title, got your attention though!!.....
my dad is the only jw in my family, i'm not, my 2 brothers aren't and neither is my mum.. my mum was until me and my older brother were about 6 & 7.. me and my brother were until we were 15 & 16.. my little brother was briefly, but escaped in 'the nick of time'.. life is very tough in my house, with my dad stomping around the house, making everyone feel guilty and uncomfortable with every little thing that we do.. we are just trying to get on like a normal family, and all he can do is say negative things about everything we do.. it is impossible to live with him, we have all come to agree.. we have shown him all the evidence we have to show him jw is a cult but he continues to go along with what the wts tell him, although he doesn't go to the meetings, coz he's stressed and not strong enough, mentally.. but there are some things that really annoy me, like the way he watches a tv programme where an animal is being killed, and he says something like 'oh, isn't that awful', and i think 'what about armageddon??????
' '5000000000000000000000 times worse!!!!!'..
Sounds like your living with a caged Lion. Hopefully he will find the key to the cage and let himself out.
Hang in there
i was talking with a minister of the united reform church recently.
inevitably, the talk got around to jws, the minister then commented that he admired their stance on blood and their diligence in spreading the gospel from door to door.. this got me to thinking, how does joe public regard jws?.
well, most people know that they dont accept blood transfusions, dont celebrate christmas, dont go to war and, and, as a result, seem to thrive on their persecution-for-righteousness-sake image.
Well said. If everyone that realizes and has experienced the way the WT treats and thinks about others that disagree or has doubts about their ways does their part, a lot can be accomplished to spread the truth about the "truth".
humorous signs.
these signs and notices, written in english, were discovered in.
many countries around the world:.
foolish man give wife grand piano, wise man give wife upright organ.. man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to bangkok.. man with one chopstick go hungry.. man who scratch ass should not bite fingernails.. baseball is wrong: man with four balls cannot walk.. man who fight with wife all day get no piece at night.. it take many nails to build crib, but one screw to fill it.. man who drive like hell, bound to get there.. man who live in glass house should change clothes in basement.. man who fish in other mans well often catch crabs.. crowded elevator smell different to midget.. man who fart in church sit in own pew.
Hippikon,
I enjoy your graphics.
hello all, registered just to post this and see what you all had to say about this.
i, for one, am in shock.
it was anounced today on "extra" and they said we would soon see a change in his music because he was "marrying his music to his religion.
freddi,
You said: Who cares about hair length?
The WT cares about hair length, not me. I have shoulder length hair myself. My hair is way longer than Prince but I am buffed out. Prince is a wimp and has the mind of a wimp for joining the WT cult. Like I said, he has a war going on inside himself.
dear friends,.
i wanted to take a moment to remember a friend.
he was a jehovah's witness and was raised in the same insane environment that i was.
Doug,
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I have experienced the same type of situation.
