'Waiting on Jehovah'
by Dia in

2. beliefs
isn't this just a pitiful way of saying, 'i can't deal with my anger'....'just be passive and be quiet and don't have any expectations'....'life is just too difficult; count me out'....'i can't have any impact anyway so why should i even try?

'....and of just sitting somewhere on the very outside and just daydreaming of how god, or maybe even spiderman, is just going to come along one day and then, then really, "i'll show you!

several have made outright statements and others have suggested that the society's negative position on higher education has changed.

1975 recording "Stay Alive 'til '75"
by Pathofthorns in
1. jw
2. friends
this real audio recording of a district overseer in 1968 is one of the most disturbing things i came accross in my surfing.

it perfectly demonstrates the misleading nature of the "we never said 1975" statement.

while perhaps technically true, see if this talk doesn't make any loyal jw rethink what was really said about 1975.. download real audio if you don't already have it to listen to this talk.
