  i stole this, from of all places, rick fearon.

  i don't know who he stole it from.

  please think of more.. things i trust more than the jehovah's witnesses governing body+ the media+ mexican tap water+ cappuccino from bill cosby+ a bigfoot sighting+ a politician who says "trust me"+ an al qaeda who wants flying lessons, but skips landing and take-offs+ a hillary clinton war story+ bill clinton wanting to give a speech at an all-female school+ gas station sushi+ a brian williams or bill o'rielly news report+ email from a nigerian prince.

  "They 'thought' themselves out of the truth, and clearly they are living an unhappy life now!"

  yep, these gems and comments were used in the talk today:.

  speaking of ones who "failed to show appreciation for all the rich spiritual food we get from the f&ds", the speaker said this:.

  "many have even failed to keep up with everything we are lovingly provided by christ's brothers, and rather than keeping their faith strong, they have become complacent and even critical ofjehovah's provisions!

  those who leave the congregations and organisations ALWAYS end up bringing unhappiness to their lives

  In a way that's true. I'm unhappy that the part of my family that remains JWs won't talk to me because I no longer attend meetings. (FYI: I am technically a JW in good standing).

  Whenever I meet up with a JW that still attends and they ask me how I am I always say, "My life is fantastic! The ONLY part of it that isn't good is the lack of relationship with my children." [The ones that are still Kool-Aid Drinking JWs].

  It's always very telling to see the look on their faces as my statement doesn't compute because of their beliefs.

  Sometimes I ask if they'd like to help with a reconciliation. They always say, "No." Always.

  I make charitable donations all the time:

  • Breast Cancer Research
  • Autism & Asperger's Educational School
    
  • Feed the Needy

  Heck, I even give a few bucks to the homeless people I see around town.

  Oh, you meant "when was the last time I donated to the WTBTS"!

  I quit when I began suspecting it was a cult, which was around 2002 or 2003.

  Great finds Blondie!

  So evidently we've been "on the threshold" for over 65 years.

  What's keeping God from walking us through the doorway?

  the "boasting session" last night included forcing the congregation to watch that stupid witnessing cart video.

  then the brother handling the part discusses what a "powerful witness" is being given each time those carts roll out into public view.. experiences: had a nice conversation with a young man.

  a woman took a tract.
