... unlike the rest of humanity, you looked forward to mondays because it was a day off from a meeting..

If seeing someone at the store that you Might Think was DFed makes you as nervous as if you just robbed a bank.

banned books?censorship?.

let’s say you live in a land where the rule is: you can’t offend anyone.okay, fair enough.

let’s take a look at what follows (implicit in this rule).. if you are speaking to 10 people, is it okay to offend 1 in 10?

I'm not alone in the congregation, after all

i can now say that i'm not alone to know ttatt in my congregation, after all.. i have come to know that my close friend is awake, even without me sharing the ttatt with him/her.

on one of our recent conversations i mentioned about being tired and no longer being uplifted anymore, and my friend then told me he/she was feeling the same.

i don't know how it happened but we knew we could trust each other.

Having someone else made a HUGE difference when I figured out TTATT! Me and a friend were figuring it out together at the same time. After that 2 others also became part of our group. 2 in my hall and 2 in halls near by.

It helped so much. One was a servant, and one was an elder in those nearby halls.

Reflecting On Death

reflecting on death.

i can't remember, maybe steve jobs before he died.i thought i would share it with you and see what you think about it, and i'm quoting i think from his book.. "i'm about fifty-fifty on believing in god.

for most of my life, i've felt that there must be more to our own existence than meets the eye.. i might be overestimating the odds 50/50 out of a desire to believe in an afterlife.

john.prestor - I'm with you.

I though am having a hard time with the thought that in reality nothing really matters, the second you blink out everything becomes meaningless.

I am trying to do things to extend my time of consciousness as long as possible. And am also trying to make life great for my kids.

The Society is Blocking Research On their Web Site

it seems, you can not research many of the older publications on society's web site anymore.

for the obvious reasons, that they don't want people to go back and read about all the false prophecies, changing guide lines (new light that became old light that became new light once again) and the just plain stupid stuff they have said over the years.

i not quit sure what publications they have blocked.

Zeb - WOW what warning flags would cause her to say, hey why would they want me to do that?
Why should I not have access to old magazines and books?

I just don't see any evidence to support such belief.

Aint that the truth. Sadly.

And no Jobs didn't say that.

Accept flip flop beliefs....Jehovah is the one who is driving the Celestial chariot

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the watchtower bible and tract society uses its governing body to force jehovah's witnesses to accept their flip-flop beliefs and doctrines.

their history of conflicting false teachings and practices have left members in confusion.. in this video, david splane blames jehovah god for all the changing doctrines.

"jehovah is driving the chariot.".

I guess its time for "Jesus Take The Wheel" :)

Ask Carrie Underwood.

Why would Satan give a rats ass about jehovahs witnesses?

by nowwhat? in

we know the answer but for the sake of discussion.

so satan is the ruler of the world and he is hellbent on destroying gods people, why?

satan controls 99.9 % of the world except for one little obscure religious group that no one pays any attention to.

WillYouDFme

FYI - If there had been a SATAN, a super smart spirit creature. (fantasy by the way)

He would NOT have tried to KILL Jesus!

He would have tried to PROTECT him at all cost.

Keeping him ALIVE would have Thwarted all of Gods plans, and he would have won.

The bible is soo soo silly and structured no better than Grimms Fairy Tales.

Haaa - did you hear the rumor that Stairway To Heaven was a song written about one of their girlfriends becoming a JW.

I wish I had written down all the BS that was made up like that.

Like the song written by Bro Benson :) The greatest love of all.

I was playing it in my car one day (when it was on the radio) and a pioneer told me I shouldn't because it was about Masterbation. OMG!

You mean "Old Light" right:)

We only need "present truth".

Did you remember when that was the catchphrase - present truth. OMG

I thought Truth was Truth? I thought that it didnt change?
