i hope someone can "enlighten" me.
my grandmother recently passed away (91 yrs old) and they are having her funeral at the kh.
i can't remember ever having to attend one when i was a kid.
Expect the speaker to use this as an opportunity to convert worldly attendees. Believe me, he will make sure to mention that they have 5 meetings a week of which one can avail themselves of the truths that will enable one to have the ressurection hope, like your Grandmother has.

dear friends,.
can i use your email address to discuss with you?
i really want to hear your reply to these questions:.
No they won't answer your questions. But they will send over some of their representatives to start a bible study with you if you want, as long as you don't bring up a subject they don't want to talk about.

hi guys, men, former-elders:.
the last leg of the legal project is afoot.
it is good, no gooder, no great!!!.
I hope this won't involve crawling on my belly over the Kingdom Hall lawn with a knife in my teeth..............
I hope it does. I was never an elder though, so i'll just shut up and sit down in the back with the rest of the rank and file. But realize you have my full support. I would'nt want to be accused of not supporting aposta/theocratic arrangements. Integ.
some people say that jws are very good at what they do.
they are highly trained in their doctrine.
one website said that they would blow the average christian away in an arguement.
JW BOT,
You're good...Damn good.

This is fun if nothing else. I hope it means something significent.
perhaps the oddest thing i've looked forward to doing for years is finding and activating my god spot in my brain.
my wish finally came true today.
if anyone reading this isn't aware of what a "god spot" is i would say in a nutshell that it is neurological response to magnetically stimulating the brain where many people feel "god like" experiences and describe either unusual illusions or intense religious feelings.
I thought JCanon was God.
i remember him as arnold on different strokes.

I used to enjoy watching Fred Berry when he played Benson on Soap, and then had his own show. I also liked him when he played Venus fly trap on WKRP....He was good.
i forwarded the press release to my jw friend yesterday afternoon and we talked about later that evening when i saw her.
i could see that she was confused and somewhat bewildered.
she first wanted to know more details about the case itself and when i supplied them, she became even more confused.
I would love to present this story to the "beleiver's" in my family, but I know already what they would say in response; "Well obviously this story is a lie. Why would a judge make her pay court costs if she was not lying and the Society was guilty?. It does'nt make sense". You know what...It REALLY DOES'NT make sense.

mat 1:19,20 19 however, joseph her husband, because he was righteous and did not want to make her a public spectacle(ref- de 22:23,24), intended to divorce her secretly.20 but after he had thought these things over, look!
jehovah?s angel appeared to him in a dream, saying: "joseph, son of david, do not be afraid to take mary your wife home, for that which has been begotten in her is by holy spirit.. mat 6:14,15 14 "for if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you; 15 whereas if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your father forgive your trespasses.. mat 7:1,2 "stop judging that you may not be judged; 2 for with what judgment you are judging, you will be judged; and with the measure that you are measuring out, they will measure out to you.
I think it's great you posted those scriptures. I'm sure new ones come here everyday, and those will help them to see the Watchtower for what they are.

i was thoroughly disgusted after last sunday's meeting.
the talk was about satan and his methods of trapping people.
as many of you probably know, they are adamantly against any and all forms of spiritism, including harry potter, any tv shows containing spiritism, and video games containing spiritism.
On the Halloween thing, I don't fault the dubs neccessarily. There a lot of "Christians" who are not Jw's that feel it is a spirtistic holiday, and don't celebrate. If that was ALL they were against, I'd be fine. As far as spiritism goes, the true meaning of the word is; SPIRIT-ISM=OF THE SPIRIT. There's nothing really wrong with that is there?
