this is an hypothetical question...i am doing well.
but i was thinking about how my jw family, grandchildren and all will feel when their inactive grandfather dies with no hope of being reunited in paradise.
of course there would be immediate rejoicing if i came back to the "truth" and a surge of conditional love from the "friends".
Don't we still teach that death paves the highway to the new system?
I think it is still taught that there is "hope" of a resurrection.
I am still in, but I have heard that it is better for a person to die in that condition than be alive at Armageddon.
But then, hitting a few meetings at the end would make everyone happy I guess.
Win One for the Gipper.

you used to hear christmas music blaring on every radio station.
not anymore.
people used to jam the roadways and malls to do their christmas shopping and now it’s no big deal.
Thanks for the support my friends..... Seems like he/she has a hair across its ass.
Min ...
If I may further refine your statement, it would be "multiple hairs inside its ass."

People there go out of their way to "educate" people about the many 'folly's' of saying Merry Christmas. Its disgusting. The far left sucks ass.
caves ...
Other than a person being insecure, why does it make any difference about someone saying "Merry this", or "Happy that"? Who gives a rats ass behind?
People need to get a good hobby or something.

And yes, I agree that Kwanzaa is a bogus "holiday". It was stolen from Lammas Day, corrupted, moved to December 26 through January 1, and used as a weapon to racist-ize Christmas.
WTWizard ...
I still prefer Festivus. It was not stolen from anyone and not used as a weapon.

page 24, par.
17 - if you commit a serious sin, do not try to cover the error.
instead, openly confess your sin to jehovah in prayer.
I guess the scripture of "Don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing" is applicable in this context.
Report the right hand to the elders.

here are some examples where bible writers used the #, 3!
were these stories ever true, or were they just fabrications and laziness on the writer's part where it just made sense to use the #, 3?.
12-year-old jesus stays in jerusalem, joseph, and mary find him 3 days later.
And then there was something about Peter's cock, it crowed (?) three times while he was in bed or something before breakfast.
Good for him.

In Genesis we read that Abraham's "male member" was only 3 inches long and Sarah didn't have a son (Issac) until God gave Abraham some purple pills or something.

There is increasingly little interest in Christmas, at least here in South Florida. Fewer and fewer homes are decorated with lights.
I think it is more about the shopping, gifts and time off from work.

as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.
i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.
it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

Thank you for your full disclosure. We need more of that here.
One of my dual majors was mathematics as we have a reasonable comprehension of the concepts based upon your comments and education. Your teaching must be very rewarding yet extremely challenging at the primary and secondary levels.
Be good.
