  Does it show a deplorable lack of faith to have a bucket list?

  as a baby boomer making the best of every day, i have a casual list of things i want to do before i, well .

  we all know about the promises made, and, gee whiz, i want to be a good and faithful boy.

  but i'm beginning to wonder if i should buy a few more baskets to put my eggs in.

  JWs have bucket lists after a fashion, that include all the things they ever really wanted to do, but put off doing until After Armageddon™.

  Why shouldn't you have a list where you permit yourself to do stuff you really want to do, and actually set about doing them?

  I'm sorry to hear about your dad, JD. It was nice that your uncle's version of the Funeral Discourse paid your dad the respect all JWs should have.

  Nice to see you around - maybe PM Simon to see if you can start topics again. He's been tinkering with the site a bit and weird stuff has happened. Good times. lol

  sunday dinner with mom was a hoot...too bad she is sooooo brainwashed.....

  i went to meeting sunday with the family to sit thru drivel of public talk and wt.

  i actually held a wt and followed along!

  like most here was able to pick out all the lies, deceptions and utter rediculousness of wt trying to say..."we didn't have it right before and we admitt it, but boy, we sure got it right now, even though we never have had anything right before".....you know....so fast forward to dinner with my sadly very mentally ill mother, who for lack of any intellect in the past was a very emotionally, mentally and physically abusive to me and my siblings, and a mental specimen of exactly what wt wants out of its adherents, leans to me and says, "the wt lately has been admitting how they have had things wrong in the past, it really is refreshing to see the changes which tell us how close we are.

  It doesn't matter what the WT publishes. Really it doesn't matter one bit. What it boils down to is LOYALTY to the WTS, no matter what. They can lie their faces off, they can harbor pedophiles, they can belong to the UN as an NGO for 10 years without letting JWs know about it, they can allow wives to be abused by their husbands and children by their parents, as long as they are loyal to the WTS, it's all good as far as JWs are concerned.

  This thread includes a chart. But basically they're saying "we weren't wrong, but now you have to believe this, or else", in other words, nothing's really changed at all.

  I'm guessing that the move to using endnotes instead of footnotes is because they can slip stuff in there "officially" yet know that most people won't bother checking them.

  It could also be to give the appearance of producing a scholarly work, like scientific journals do. We know better, though, don't we?

  this file is being passed around by jehovah's witnesses concerning adjustments in understanding the 2013/7/15/watchtower.

  the first draft they prepared had a typing error, and nevada sent the draft back to the jws for correction.

  they corrected the typing error and sent it back to nevada.
