one great thing about children is that they are survivors, and they learn how to adapt to changes very quickly.. so the next stage of my life (11-15 years old) was really were i came to fully realize that this was it.
these were my new friends.
Well, I got some good things out of the JW religion:
You, flower, Nikita, DIM, Cherie, Dana, Olive, Michaelina, and others. We all have been through that same fire and now we're all friends (out of the Borg) and we will forever have that common bond.

I spent most of the time just trying to beat the heat and boredom by imaging I was Mike Schmidt or Greg Luzinski standing at the plate waiting for pitches to hit over the fence.
CLASSIC!
Ah! I remember those 70's/80's years myself at the hot "Vet". I hated the Vet for coneventions! Hot. Boring. Lame.
I was a 300 level guy because you could get shade for most of the day.
I can't wait for the rest of your story which will no doubt contain stories of "Demons vs. badwillies-JW-family" and "Breakdancing in the Kingdom Hall".
started last week sunday, sorry for the delay in posting.. the downside is that it's only 3 days a week.
but i'm still continuing to look for a better job.. my landlord moved me to a studio apt which is 300 dollars a month with still all utilties paid.
it's an ok apt, not too shabby.

did our letter-writing campaign work?
http://www.un.org/dpi/ngosection/watchtower.pdf.
here are some lovely instructions drafted by syn, and hosted by valis, on how to navigate to the site yourself.. http://www.sassquatch.com/syn/un_ngo_letter/.
I am having trouble viewing the link. Can anyone maybe post the content of the link on here?
at this weeks book study (which i attended for the first time in 6 months) the book is "united in worship of the only true god".
in paragraph 10 it talks about the united nation's, and not in any glowing terms either.
the paragraph condemns her and anyone who would be a part of her.
integ...
I think you have made a couple of errors.
The book currently being studied is 'WORSHIP THE ONLY TRUE GOD'.
Paragraph 10 reads,
"Does the historical record show hat any group in the last days has pursued strict neutrality in imitation of the early Christians? Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses have done so. All during this time period, they have kept preaching that God's Kingdom is the only means to bring lasting peace, prosperity, and happiness to lovers of righteousness. (Matthew 24:14) But with regard to controversies among the nations, they have maintained strict neutrality.
By no means am I a defender of the WT, but facts are facts. Granted, I do not go to any meetings but I am basing my information based on the book that my wife uses for the book study each week.
Please clarify.
Good one, Lisa!
God, I miss 'Herman'.
if every other religion is false, why does the watchtower recognize marriages performed in other churches?
example: if you get baptized in another faith, the watchtower will say that it isn't the real baptism that leads to salvation.
so why does the watchtower recognize a marriage performed by a false relgion, and not the baptism performed by the same church?
JH-
That very question has bothered me, too. It's illogical from a religious standpoint.

These JWs will reason that these jobs are perfect because they have lots of time for Field Service in between the "pick-ups" and "drop-offs"
However, only 2 of the 8 mentioned above are Pioneers.
