Small Victories!

my husband's cult personality has relaxed since he's been seeing me go out in service and underline my watchtower, so yesterday it felt right to nudge him just a little more.

"you know, i normally love the watchtower articles but the one i'm studying for tomorrow is just crazy.

i'm beginning to think that there's a narcissist somewhere in the writing department.

What do you mean?! I ALWAYS go to the beach after service and wear long pants and button up shirts while I play a game in the sand with my family! Sometimes I wear button up long sleeve shirts too!

the wts likes to imply how jws should dress in and outside of the hall.

you always want to set an example.. so i couldn't help but share this beauty in the january 15th, 2013, study edition of the watchtower.

i always go to the beach like this!

some thoughts about Revelation

2. bible
to finish up my 6th reading of the nwt, i decided to read revelation without any of my wts notes.

i tried to read it without preconceived ideas about what it could mean and whatnot, here's what my amateur uneducated reading uncovered:.

-christians thought they were going to heaven.

"We get presents all year; who needs Christmas"

i don't know how many times i have heard that lie from the platform.

i have heard that line of rubbish at big and great boasting sessions as well.

the witlesses act as if they get as many toys as worldly people, just scattered throughout the year.. now, i have seen many cases where that simply isn't true.

Do Witnesses Ever Talk About Their Living Forever And Never Dying?
by minimus in

my 86 year old mother stopped believing she was going into paradise earth without dying first, about 10 years ago.

my aunt used to think she was going to make it through the great tribulation.

even a week before she died, she clung on to this fairy tale.. do you think jws believe they will never die at all and will, in their lifetime, be on a paradise earth to live forever?.

WT to release tablet computer at next convention?
by moshe in
1. jw

they could make a lot of money with this business model.

by selling their own dedicated hardware, new e-books wt literature, selling profitable internet service through their own "safe" proxy servers that screen out all dangerous material, and the jws can show catchy pre-loaded wt sales videos to householders at the door or in their studies.. i wonder if they can get a chinese knockoff tablet computer, like the hapiad, down to $99 and still make a big profit?

it comes with wifi - and is preloaded with the wt cd , some videos and other wt junk.. how much could they sell wt approved internet for?- going through their wt proxy screening server to keep us out.. books at conventions- they will have an e-reader version of books for sale immediately- those who want print versions will have to wait- and pay more.. they can bring their wt haipad to the meetings and read the wt lesson on it, don't even have to print them out.. this could have downsides, too - like when the kids figure out how to jail break them in order to watch what they want.. i could be wrong, but i think they could sellout a limit of 1000 $99 tablet computers in one hour after they are released- they would have to have mob control to keep order at the counter.
