joe slaiman and his wife jean were in the travelling work in australia throughout the 90's... ( i may have spelt the name incorrectly).
anyone remember them?
they were very well liked by many of the brothers and sisters.. i wonder what happened to him?
I am happy to hear that logic an reason finally helped you escape the mental bondage. I see that you were well liked and people respected you.
I am going to send you an email from my Gmail account because I would love to read your letter. Right now I am coming to the same conclusion as you and your explanation would give me an idea on how to handle my own inevitable separation form religion.
Kind regards,
Suavojr

What a joy to teach Jehovah’s sheep
And to see how they have grown.
We have seen how he has guided them
As they’ve made the truth their own.
WTF, now the GB are singing for us?
the leaders of russia, germany, france and ukraine are slated to meet in minsk (the belarusian capital) tomorrow to discuss a ukrainian peace plan!
some countries such as hollande believe there is going to be a total war.
when they met last year in the same place, they had put forward a peace plan (a ceasefire, withdrawal of artillery, prisoner exchanges and other concessions) that were never fully implemented!
@ abiather:
adjusted knowledge
Ancient people had to resort to symbols to refer to things existing now which were not existing then. For example, all the weapons purportedly used in Mahabharata War actually exist now. Hence that Mahabharata War has never happened, but it is yet to happen, in our time. Because people reportedly to have been killed in Mahabharata War is much more than India's present population. Hence Indian Epic called Mahabharata is prophetic of our time!

If the world has to confront World War 3, it will indeed be devastating. Rest assured that no god will come to save this ailing planet and the species on it. It will be up to the surviving humans who will have to endure the results of our actions. All due to our lack of urgency caused by delusional faith in invisible entities.
It is time to mature and accept our responsibilities, our faults, our actions and stop wishing for the best. Nothing good nor bad has come from any past or present deity, it has never happened and it will never occur.

Hey dynamic Christian duo! John Titor also predicted WIII without the help of Jesus or any ancient writings.

i just wanna know why...after a thousand dang years, jehovah would even want to think about lettin go of the dude who started it all....satan.
why?..
like a thousand years is a long time, and people are supposed to be gettin perfect n stuff during this time, and the earth is supposed to be gettin all perfectionized.... so satan can f- - - it all up again?.
How can Satan and the demons live forever without God's blessings? Could it be that we can live Godless?
It seems to me Satan is already enjoying eternal life without the need for Jesus sacrifice.
there has been more than a few posts about anthony morris iii and his talk about tight pants, spanx (spandex?
) and bethel as a destination vacation.. after the initial bewilderment and laughing about his diatribe, it is more clear to me that this was not about modest clothing choices, or spiritual priorities.. it was designed and succeeded as a slap in the face of all who listened.. the things he talked about are just not on the normal radar of anyone who listened.. i can recall nowhere in writing that ever encouraged families to go to bethel before disneyworld, mgm, etc; nowhere that talks about leggings or modern cut men's suits (it is just fashion, after all), or women wearing exercise clothing in public.
(on a side note, i have been to assemblies, there are just not many of us who could wear tight clothing and not look like stuffed sausage, so how many people was he aiming at here?).
The new JW Religion ala carte. Take what you like and leave the rest behind.
Nice one. JW a la carte is how current Jdubs think and act.
one time, i heard a father in a meeting with married couples say `i sometimes have to smack my children a bit, but never in the face so as to not humiliate them.how beautiful!
he knows the sense of dignity!
he has to punish them but does it justly and moves on.
Spanking is done by lazy parents who wish to convey the message that violence is the way to control other people.
Why do you think is lazy? parents spank because they think it is the only way, at least in my case. I don't hold a grudge towards my parents because they both come from uneducated backgrounds, my late grandparents would beat the crap out of my parents and it just continued.
We have been now enlightened and know it is not the correct way of parenting. But some people like Shirley still think that spanking is okay if you don't leave marks.

This comment from the pope made my blood boil. I recalled all those terrible moments when my dad or mom would hit me with a belt and no pants on. After the beating, my parents would hug me and say they loved me.
Why would my parents do this? Because of reading the bible and taking it literally.
