just thinking out loud here.
i drive a lot of miles for my job in the st. louis, missouri area.
digital billboards popping up.
Thoughts?
I don't need to preach and save anyone from anything. I can't care less what the WT does or say, what they preach, none of that. Those are the reasons why I left. Why on Earth would I want to continue my relationship with them?
Use the time and money in catching up with your retirement.
i am not a jw, but know a jw family.
seem very loving and happy.
i have come to know the religion and have researched via this site,youtube, reddit etc.
As a non jw this is just so sad to read. please share your thoughts.
It is sad indeed, but it's still their choice.
have you read this book?
not sure if i should purchase this book?
it might help ex jws more than never a jw.
I wrote it
i just read the "atheists book of bible stories" by fred titanich, and i rather enjoyed it.
alot indeed.
do you have any suggestions for books that touches the same subject?
"The End of Faith" and "Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris. Great reads in the same line of books.
i was sat in the assembly hall yesterday, wondering how many pimo ones like me there was there.
or even if they don't know ttatt still don't believe it for whatever reason.. i think there must be more of (us) there than we all realise.
i mean, brothers reaching out is at an all time low, information via the internet is at an all time high and the preaching work has now become a motionless, speechless babysitting of a book shelf advertising a website as someone here pointed out!.
I don’t know...my husband gets up frequently, leaves the building even, BUT is a true WT believer. He probably listens to about an hour combined of the assembly day and I think that’s precisely why he hasn’t woken up.
That you know of.
just had 2 jw's from my local kh ring my doorbell and then put the invitation through my letterbox.
absolutely no desire to talk to local jw's who know me, so i declined to answer the door.. on the subject of the invite, the very first sentence deceptively says - "on the night before he died, jesus told his followers to commemorate his death.
he said, keep doing this in remembrance of me.".

Interesting that what I suggested in your part one didn't seem to be a welcome thought, yet that's exactly what you did.
Go figure.

No, they are assholes. Learn to socialize 101: You are perfectly fine in the way you are, talk and do things. Don't fall in the trap of growing insecure because of feeling not accepted socially. Those two bitches are big fat nobodies. Move on.
i've always been currious as to how i would look with a beard so i've finally committed to doing it.

Yes, I have suggestion. Beards grow on their own. All you have to do is groom it.

Have you tried Facebook? Seems like a good starting point.
i consider myself an amateur watchtower history buff.
i have always read that maria frances ackley russell, charles taze russell's first and only wife, went to a teacher training college and was a teacher for a number of years before marrying russell.
but, i have never seen proof that she truly did finish college and became a certified teacher.
Interesting.
