JWs are discouraged and depressed because when listening to an uptempo song like Chim Chiminy, ones feels guilty because he sings about lucky.

I think I know why JWs are So Discouraged!
by LostGeneration infrom the 9/15/2012 watchtower this sentence starts off paragraph 12 on page 25. .
just think how discouraging it could have been to expect the end and for it not to occur!.

Jehovah does NOT cause bad things to happen

"When David and Bathsheba sinned, instead of punishing them, god STRUCK the baby and after suffering for a week it died. God CAUSED that one in an unfair punishment on an innocent child."
Not true. Bathsheba was bathing because of the purification cleansing. Seven days after her period ends, she is unclean. That is when David saw her and took her and impregnated her. But a woman is infertile during that time. How did she conceive? My theory is that Jehovah made her conceive so that they even would play out and the truth would come out. The child would properly die because it never should have existed.

"in the old testament where Jehovah directly was involved with killing of men, women, children....""
Where do you get that, that is bad? They deserved it. If those millions would have survived, they would have had children, etc, etc, and there would be millions, billions more today. It is really a good thing that they were divinely extinguished.
My problem is that he does not cause bad things to happen, but he does not stop them from happening when he has the power.

Saving Mr. Banks is not a typical Disney film. Seen it? Tell us what you think.!
by Wasanelder Once insaving mr. banks is not about mary poppins exactly, not the one we know.
in this movie we come to see who she was to the author through flashbacks that become so entwined with the adult author, a bitter and negative woman, that mary p.'s purpose becomes clear at last and not the disney factory model.
if you haven't seen it, a speech disney gives to her is phenominal in my opinion.

I saw it and hated it. I thought that Loki in Thor was a brighter and better character than Ms Travers character was. Tom Hanks was good and also Colin Farrel.

Why are there no black angels?
by snare&racket injw literature is racist as hell.
jesus looks like an american folk singer, the governing body look like a corrupt version of an enron luncheon.. the jw's literally print different magazines for africa with african pictures, black people instead of white, to make it 'more appealing' to them.... just to be clear that means they think the opposite is true too!.
....and then there is the lack of black angels..... .

Actually there should be black and asian angels pictured. Angels appeared to Abraham and Lot and others in an appearance of the people that they knew around them. They would not appear to Abraham or Lot as black or Asian because they would have never seen such ones. They would be shocked at the different appearance of them more than what their purpose is. But since today those races exist as prevalent, then they would appear to people as such to fit in.

Worst Ever Field Service Experiences
by dozy ingenerally i found most people were pretty apathetic and often surprisingly tolerant , but we've all had some bad ones.
looking back , here were my worst couple of experiences - there probably were others but i've probably long forgotten them or blanked them off.. i was a kid of maybe 13 & it was bitterly cold & pouring with rain.
i was working alone in a middle class street near my school where i knew a lot of my school teachers lived & was scared stiff at every door half the time pretending to press bells , doing the fake knock etc.

My worst experience is when I was working the houses alone and this woman came to the door in a bikini and she didn't invite me in.

That is because those angels were not affected by Adam's sin. Since skin color changes are mutations and angels don't mutate, they can only be what they were originally created as.
And there is no such thing as racism. It is mutationism. Since everyone came from Noah and his family and any changes are a result of mutations from them.

Duck Watchtowercy
by Defianttruth inwith phil robertson getting the boot within a day of his comments by a&e, what would happen if the lbg community started calling all of the venue managers of their convention arenas and exposing them for the hate group they are today?
just a thought.

I agree with what he said. I don't see how men can be attracted to other men. Gross. Nothing to do with hate. Anothing wrong with anti-gay sayings.

I frown upon tattoos. They are an oxymoron.
People get them to be individuals, but yet their getting them is their following the crowd. Go figure.
And they are ugly and not thinking of the future.
