Good News is your CANADIAN therefore you have HEALTH CARE birth to thr grave and you should go to a Doctor, who will hopefully send you to a physical therapist, or give you some muscle relaxers , anti-inflaitories, like ibuprohin ??? Heat, rest, heal, take up some form of stretching exercise, swim, yoga, move.

So, You Have a PURPOSE...
by Satanus inwt would have you believe that having a purpose in your life makes you superior, the grander the purpose, the better you are.
on the other hand, people without purposes are losers and deserve death soon at wt gods hands or lightening bolts or whatever.. well, there are a lot of animals who have purposes.
are those animals better than purposeless humans?

Avoiding Homelessness
by magotan ini'm falling apart here.
the false teachings of the jw enrage me; we started covering the information for the jeremiah book, and i was outraged at how they twist up the scriptures to meet what they want to say.
my dad wants to consider the "god's love" book during family worship evening.

How old are you ? Can you get a job ? Apply for a student loan ? A PELL Grant ? Get onto a work-study program ?
Education is the way out and the way UP. Don't take it all so seriously, plan your own future as a well educated professional of some sort.
Talk to a school counselor ig you are in school. If you are under 18 they have a legal responsibility to support you until you are 18.
Are you in Canada or the USA ? If you are in California you can go th a community college, apply for financial aid based on need.
If you have good grades, 3.5 or above , apply to university, go in for an interview, tell the counselor your story, you can do this.

Whatever happened to the "Fall of Babylon the Great" and the "drying up of the churches?
by villagegirl ini am from the era of the babylon book, and all the wt predictions that the churches of christendom would "dry up".
the book babylone the great has fallen god's kingdom rules, said people would leave the churches of christendom, in droves and the ministers would have no more people in their churches while "god's organization" would see a tremendous increase, a huge overflowing great crowd, all streaming into the watchtower and coming to the "faithful and discreet slave" for instructions.
thirty years ago there were six million jw's , today after the "great increase", and " great crowd" is now ?

Unbelievable Assertion!!!!!!!
by The Searcher inwe had our special assembly day this weekend.. what the district overseer stated in his talk totally stunned me, and made me feel sick to my stomach.
he said, "christ is directing us through the governing body, and we cannot get holy spirit except through them!".
i do not wish to reveal all my thoughts on his statement, but i pray to god that it acts as a wake-up call to at least some of the audience.. suffice to say that the gb is now the mediator to our mediator, and from now on, i will have to pray for holy spirit through the name of the gb!!.

Holy Spirit, like Grace, doesn't have to "go - through" any organization of man or group of men. Holy Spirit "rests" on as the scripture says will "reside with" and be "in" any individual who believes in the only mediator, Jesus Christ and who asks in belief. Holy Spiirt is a free gift, not controlled by assocaition or meeting attendence, but controlled by Jehovah and his Son Jesus Christ, holy spirit goes anywhere God pleases and does not have to check in with any mad made authority. The only sanctioned "arrangement" is that of individual faith and belief and acceptance of Jesus as the Messiah and the son of God. Read the Book of John please. But read it as if it actually applied to you, because it does.

Thirty years ago there were six million JW's , today after the "Great Increase", and " Great Crowd" is now ? The same number ? And the churches of Christendom ? Did they disappear ? Have you seen the Mega Churches in your city ? Huge congregations of thousands ? Evangelicals everywhere ? People are even returning to the Catholic Church in droves. And the WT is selling off empty Kingdom Halls because they are literally abandoned except by a handful and the WT is now a thin small magazine of a few pages.

Do not give up - I had an 8 centimetre advanced stage aggressive maligant cancer - 20 years ago !!
I had chemo, surgery, radiation, the works - and I am sure it was the final push that got me free from the WT after 30 years.
I am now doing fine - and you can too, don't get depressed just follow the treatment and don't go for any weird alternative herbal cure.
I knew many who were afraid of the chemo and surgery and radiation, they are now dead , I am alive, just grit your teeth and march into Hell.
You will come out the other end with many more years to live and enjoy.

Anyone who claims to be the Mediator between God and Man, is "Standing in the Holy Place" Because the place of Mediator belongs only to Christ Jesus and anyone who stands between Christ and Mankind, claiming to be the Mediator IS by definition, "that Man of Lawlessness" who "stands in the Holy Place." These are the eight men in New York City. The Governing Body has now revealled they really ARE the Anti-Christ. They are BLOCKING people from access to Christ and the Holy Spirit and have set themselves up as an Idol. There is only ONE mediator between God and man and that is the Christ, thats the WHOLE message of the Greek Scriptures !!

what difference does it make?

They are anti-Christ. By their own definition.

I was baptixed in 1957 at 14 years old, I served as a poineer. Yet because I am woman I suppose you wisemen do not count me in.
However I sugest you read, 1 Timothy 2:5 For there in one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
And remember man includes woman, which means in Hebrew, Man with a womb. John 17:21 ( refering not to a class see verse 20 but to "those
who believe in me through their word" " that thay all may be one just as we are one." The only mention of "class" in the Greek scriptures is a warning
not to create class distinctions among you.
