  My chat with an Elder about the UN thing! Help!

  well it was a very long discussion.

  the elder knew nothing about the scandal, but he stated that he had no issue with it since when the case was brought to light, the society acted immediately to right their course.

  in fact he thought it was a sign that that the organisation was indeed the "truth".

  Great crowd? How many witnesses actualy live up to society standards?

  by awakening in

  2. friends

  i often looked around the hall and assemblies and wondered how many were like me, just going through the motions.

  even when i wasnt awake i knew that if armagedon came i would not meet the standard for survival.

  would it be fair to say that only half of all witnesses really feel up to standard?.

  i just wonder sometimes if i got found out and got dfd for my views on the society, how would i feel?

  i often think to myself that it would be a huge relief, no more pretense!

  but then the other side of the coin is the family still in.

  Interesting moment on subway today & other thoughts

  by sd-7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was heading home today, and i saw one woman reading a new world translation.

  we made eye contact, but i hope i didn't glare at her or anything... since i was already having a bout with depression today, it didn't help to see her.

  so then she gets off the train, right?
