6/15 WT - WT Society can Run it's Business - but JW's Can't Have their Own

by flipper in

in the typical do as we say , not as we do type mentality - the wt society puts forth in this current wt study article ( jw's only wt ) - that it's not " advisable " or " reasonable " for jehovah's witnesses to seek entering their own business ventures , or further themselves by getting a college education, or even have a career - due to the imminent coming of the alleged " end of the system " or alleged " paradise " .

the guilt and control used here is ridiculous.

in the article titled , " why put jehovah's service first ?

I saw someone talking about how some religions actually help people..yes they do but it comes at a great price. They rip people off in the name of charity/religions and give very little of it to the people..

As far as the article goes..they want to keep their people ignorant. That way they can't/won't be questioned or challanged on their teachings..
With the computer age I think they may be losing a lot of members that are getting wise to their lies/ false predictions..

Probably a scary time for them..

The more scared they get the more they will try to isolate their people..keeping them away from computers..their no JW relatives/friends and keeping them in low scale jobs so the only hope they have for a future is the WTBTS's promise of a lovely new paradise if they remain faithful to their religion and forsake all others..

Same old story...been there done that..fool me once shame on you , fool me twice shame on me as they say

Gated Communities in Puerto Rico now required to have a Security Guard and special entrance for Jehovah's Witnesses

by Alfred in

as some of you may recall, on february 11, 2011 the united states court of appeals ruled that most gated communities in puerto rico violated the constitutional rights of jehovahs witnesses by not allowing them unobstructed access to homes and thereby thwarting their right to worship freely.

not sure how the watchtower was able to fool the us court of appeals, but there you have it... the next step in this judicial process is to determine how this needed to happen.. to that end, the us court of appeals has recently ruled that those gated communities in puerto rico that didnt have security guards (i.e.

: have a tele-entry key pad instead) were to hire at least one security guard who would be positioned at the entrance for the purpose of allowing jehovahs witnesses free access to the community.

They can't get me here because I have a security door at the entrance of the building..they have to request entry and no one will let them in..:) so they usually park outside in the lot on Sat. mornings till some poor sap comes out of the building and then they attack them..

How pathetic is that..

I can't believe they get away with that in Puerto Rico..

My thoughts..

My daughter has a security gate at the entrance of their community but they have a service entry that isn't gated..the JW's come in that way..

Those of you in relationships, when your partner gets clingy, is it flattering, irritating? How do you deal with it?

i'm just curious as i'm on the outside looking in when it comes to relationships, yet i recall undercover explaining to me a year or so ago on another thread how his wife was clingy one morning before he went to work.

it made me wonder as someone who's single, what do you feel when you need to be somewhere and your significant other is clingy at the moment?

or when your out and about and he/she is clingy, is it flattering, irritating?

Snoozy

I'm with Flipper..I have been through both and been both . Hubby and I took turns....when you are married as long as I was you go through many cycles..

I enjoyed most of them..

Except his going back to the KH cycle.. That sucked...

Snoozy

ps..I do have to admit I have seen unhealthy clingy..not a pretty sight. Most of the time it is the women that are "needy" ,"clingy"..at least that is what I have observed..

There are many well-known depression triggers: Trauma, grief, financial troubles, and unemployment are just a few. But if you are depressed and none of these apply to you, it can be hard to pinpoint a specific cause.

In truth, there may not be a concrete reason for your depression. But here are some little-known causes to consider.

Also, ways you can help someone that is depressed:

This was surprising to me but made sense: RE Facebook and other chat rooms etc..

Spending too much time in chat rooms and on social-networking sites? A number of studies now suggest that this can be associated with depression, particularly in teens and preteens. Internet addicts may struggle with real-life human interaction and a lack of companionship, and they may have an unrealistic view of the world. Some experts even call it "Facebook depression."

In a 2010 study, researchers found that about 1.2% of people ages 16 to 51 spent an inordinate amount of time online, and that they had a higher rate of moderate to severe depression. However, the researchers noted that it is not clear if Internet overuse leads to depression or if depressed people are more likely to use the Internet.

My mother is trying to indoctrinate my 4 year old and I do not know what to do

by jwfacts in

my mother lives a plane trip away from me, so does not get to spend very much time with zac.

however, she is in sydney for 3 weeks and has been babysitting.

i knew that she would be talking about jehovah, but was very annoyed yesterday when zac said my mother was speaking all day about jehovah, such as how he made the stars.. in the past, i was not overly concerned if zac learnt about jehovah's witnesses, as i thought it would help with critical thinking skills to understand different points of view.

Good idea Sketter..I like it. Brainwash can work both ways.. I would do anything to protect my kids..I would also correct the child when they say "Jehovah" and say "you mean God?" It will catch on..And is it possible to block Skype for now?..

Just a reminder..my kids are in their 50's now. Been out for over 30 years..still occasionally have a bad dream about the "Paradise Book". I would in no way let her read that or any of their other so called "Children's" books to my child.

Quote:"Maybe professional wrestling isn't real, but the impact its athletes can have on people isn't limited by its legitimacy. Enter Diamond Dallas Page, a former WCW, WWF/WWE and TNA star, who has transformed himself in a fitness and wellness guru at age 56. Spurred on by "Power Yoga," Page went from battered and bruised to bouncing with life and flexibility and has continued to spread the word.

That word reached Arthur Boorman, who was a disabled veteran from the Gulf War that had been told he would never be able to walk under his own power ever again. Then he read an article about Page's success, and started doing Page's workout (DDP Yoga). The transformation documented below changed Boorman's life, and has already inspired over 1.5 million YouTube views.

Just another testament to the power of yoga, and how just because one part of your life ends, it doesn't mean another greater part can't begin.".

(Personally I have never tried Yoga but have heard nothing but good things about it..I think it is worth a shot. I think older people can benefit from it as it helps with their balance later in life..)

Need info on Revised JW book that was 'recalled' ... was it ....

by talesin in

friends

the truth that leads to eternal life?

i am trying to raise some money for school, and my father has given me consent to sell his collection on e-bay, which dates back to the rutherford days.

my sibling and its progeny have no interest in retaining the library, so he would rather sell the books, than see the collection eventually go in the trash.. .

JW facts on JW's and 1975 statistics..

http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/1975.php

Quote:

From 1966 to 1975 the Watchtower regularly implied that Armageddon would arrive in 1975. However, ask a Jehovah's Witnesses about this date and they will invariably deny there ever being such statements or that the Watchtower assigned any importance to 1975. The following exhaustive list of quotes shows exactly what the Watchtower said.

I'm not a camper. I don't see the point in pretending you are homeless

by wha happened? in

jw
friends

i used to camp alot as a kid.

i was in cub scouts and boy scouts.

dad and i went to lot's of camping trips.

Snoozy

As a family we went camping in all kinds of vehicles..a army tent..then we upgraded to a "modern tent" that had a mist everytime it rained. (I wanted our old army tent back.) Then we got a pop up tent camper..then a big camper that you pulled..had everything you need including air conditioning..I think my favorite was the pop up camper.

Today I would be afraid to go camping..too many nuts out there allowed to run free.

Back in the late 50's and early 60's it was nice. Not too many neighbors so you felt more like you were camping..now it's like a hotel..neighbors right next to you. You can hear them snore..

People aren't as courteous as they were then either..they didn't play their music so loud that everyone within a blocks distance can hear it. They think it's their God given right to do what ever they want.

I can see where young folks could have a ball camping now tho..especially on a float trip weekend...if they live through it..
