redorc from australia here.
i was raised as a jw but from about 8 years of age i left at the age of 18 having never actualy believed anything about what i was being taught , that was about 28 years ago.
my mother is still one of them so i guess its never completley left my thoughts.
I don't have all the answers either, but as far as people joining the WTS, I think some people just have to have something to believe in, or their lost and when the Jehover's Witnits come to their door, it sounds real good to them. I do believe in a higher power, but I'm totally turned off on organized religion. Maybe one of these day's we'll have all the answers!

DON'T TELL THE ELDERS!
If you're feeling quilty about it, then deal with it. Don't tell anyone, especially the elders. If you need to pray about it, then pray,
BUT DON'T TELL THE ELDERS FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! It's NONE of their business, and beside, they would wont details! Dirty old bastards.
i finally picked one out.
my older son and i are going down one day this week and getting it done.
it's a tribal turtle.
Looks good LB.
the other day i called an elder and explained some of his shortcomings and how they had had a negative impact on my family.
he had little to say and did dispute what i had to say.. .
yesterday we received flowers and a card, with an apology!
I'm glad he apologized. It's a first! Rare in deed!
like carl olof jonsson, this is the first time i have ever written to this forum.
i have decided to do so, however, because i am saddened at what bill bowen has chosen to do in reference to ray franz.
let me say that i given bill full marks for publicizing an issue child abuse and the watchtower cover up of it and for taking a stand that has cost him a great deal personally.
Will these threads on Bill and Ray EVER die!
The sick and tired of it Class
last night i posted a picture of my watchtower jack o'lantern and lyin eyes double dog dared me to take it to the kingdom hall.
sooo................. after the trick or treating was over, we loaded the kids in the minivan and drove to the kingdom hall.
i put the pumpkin on the railing on the front porch right in front of the main entrance.
OH.....MY....GAWD!!!!
Princess, you are one wild chick!!! TOO TOO funny!!!! I loved it!!!! LOL
I think the roof would be priceless!!! Can you imagine!!!! LOL
maybe i'm so 'downunder' that i'm not up with things...but does this look right??
