There is some pretty incredible people out there in the "world"
by LevelThePlayingField ini am a fan of a video came called simcity and other building games like cities skylines and the such also legend of grimrock.
anyway, as i watch others plays these games on youtube i have noticed that there are some pretty intelligent people out there.
how others can solve the puzzles way better than i can on legend of grimrock and how they can build cities in ways that i had not thought of at all.

Yes, that's true. I just never thought of it that way. And I hate them all for it.
Edit: That one part about forgiving the KH loans and then asking back "whatever you can donate" forever part literally makes me sick to my stomach.

How others can solve the puzzles way better than I can on Legend of Grimrock and how they can build cities in ways that I had not thought of at all. Really awesome cities too.
Also, there narrative in the video is of a very high quality. These are all "worldly people", and yes they are all very intelligent. They are very creative and have ways that get millions of subscribers and views.
And then I get to the point of this all. We are told at the Kingdom Hall that a theocratic education is the best education. But I think down in my heart of hearts that people really aren't getting that education at all. They are just TOLD that they are and that it's the best, but that's it.
When you think of all the smart people of the world, how come NONE of them are Witnesses, anywhere? None, not one ever that I heard of, and you? Do you know of anyone who was a witness who invented something or contributed to humanity in a large way that was recognized? I haven't, not one. But we are all educated the best? No, I think not.
Just my thoughts...

TV commercial seen in the United States, from a Law firm "Asking if you were ever sexually abused by JEHOVAHS WITNESSES, please call".
by Dunedain inok, so i don't know if this is "old news", and if this has been seen, and or mentioned already.
if it was, i do apologize, but i feel i have to mention what has been seen on tv, within the past 24 hours.. first off, i would like to say that i did not personally see this commercial.
however, it was seen by someone that i can verify 100% is telling the truth, as it was my own father who saw it.

This is really great. I hope other lawyer firms also join in so that we see this type of commercial no matter where you live.

Those songs are much longer than the one sang now. About 2 or 3 times as long and a lot better. The religion surely has changed and after listening to those songs it seems like the heart is taken out of the new songs. Just a bunch of flub to me, just words with no substance.

Griffin Assembly Hall (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) now a Megachurch
by Sanchy inmy mom, while pregnant with me, was one of thousands of jw volunteers to work on the construction of this once beautiful assembly hall in south florida circa 1984. it had a beautiful pond, waterfall, and even a resident alligator.
many remember it as well for it's huge plaster murals on the walls showing scenes of paradises.. pics as it was before (sorry for the low quality, struggled to find good pics of the auditorium as it was, if you have any good ones, do share them):.

"Almost 7 years later, money from sale vanished and there's no more talk of a new hall closer to us. "
The same thing can be said for a supposed Assembly hall that for about a year and half took in donations for in the SW Ohio area. The hall was supposed to be built in Cincinnati, OH. But all of the sudden, poof, it was gone. And there was $1.8 million donated towards it. I asked an elder what happened to that money. He said, "Oh, it's with the branch now."
Oh, how nice. :(

Prayer vs. Meditation
by schnell inwhenever i prayed, it was always done consciously and ostensibly to another person -- a higher, spirit person -- called jehovah.
the subject was always something about me, even if it was for someone else.
if i prayed to thank jehovah for my meal, it was about me.
