so how many here were pioneers?
ha ha ha.
i used up my teenage years pioneering, good thing i didn't go to college or university i could be well educated and in a good job.poo.
Pioneered in my teens during school break, then after graduation until my father died, had to go to work to support myself and mother since my dad, like most good JWs didn't have any life insurance, you know the idea, Armageddon is comming soon. My mom could live on the least amount of money of anyone I ever knew.
I tried it again later in life but didn't last a year.

i remmember the idea that god has been around forever, to be a bit confusing as a witness.. does this really make sense?.
heres two reason why it doesn't.. 1.what was the first thing god did?.
so either it wasn't the first thing , if there is not a first thing god did see point 2,or god had a begining.
This is the only concept that the human mind cannot comprehend, that I know. Well maybe another one, for me at least, is that the group of men called the GB is a loving, careing, group of God directed men.

but we ended up haveing a great conversation about what vehicle i should buy next.. what a perfect person to ask cuz of his job.
he said "dont get another jeep they roll too easy and they catch on fire.".
Hi TeeJay,
I have an old 76 GMC 4WD that has 200,000 thousand miles and it's still going strong. I pull a 35ft camper to the coast with it and it has an automatic trans. The body is about to fall off it but the running gear is fine. I like the GMC trucks.

when individuals leave the organization for conscience reasons, it is evidence that god is shepherding and protecting the flock by doing a sifting work.
when people leave another christian religion it is evidence that the religion is morally corrupt and unable or unwilling to provide spiritually for their members.
when a christian from another denomination lies, he is acting according to his own disposition being from the father of the lie.

How could anyone who has been there deny any of your examples? They just hide thier brains under the WT organization and go their merry way.

i just saw on tv that they found the body of the little girl from st.louis that was missing.
as i was looking at her picture i could hardly keep my hands on the arms of my recliner, i wanted to grab the man that killed her and choke him to death.
i really felt strange, she reminded me of my daughter and i just wanted to kill the bastard that took her, i really got emotional over this and wanted to cry.
Hi All,

I really felt strange, she reminded me of my daughter and I just wanted to kill the bastard that took her, I really got emotional over this and wanted to cry. I just don't know how her parents can take the pain.

I almost panic just thinking about this. I can't stand to be in small caves, in the crawl space under the house fixing the water pipes, etc.

why did god plant the tree of knowledge right in the middle of the garden of eden if he didnt want the two people he'd created to eat the fruit?.
why did he, the almighty god who created heaven and earth, lead his creatures into temptation and force them into obedience?
(ironically enough, the lords prayer says.."lead us not into temptation!).
Hi Kat7302,
Maybe it happened the opposite way, man made God in his likeness.

most of you know by now my wife and i are disassociated.
a brother turned us in for smoking.
anyway, one of the elders in my cong will say: jehovah uncovered this he brought it out of the dark you cant practice sin in the dark jehovah will not allow it he is not the only elder ive heard that from.
Hi,
I have been commenting to my fundie wife and sister-in-law about the many things that God is not doing to help mankind and she said I should be careful what I say. I said if God is not more active in punishing people than he is helping, I don't have anything to worry about.
