  I had occasion to get to know a programmer from the same country. I asked him about religion and God. He said over there they are ignorant and beleive in a form of animism. A good deal of time and energy is spent in mindless rituals and appeasement scams. The "shetani" will take many forms and bring darkness in along their backs. You know when they are present. They can control you if you notice them especially if they see you looking. He said he was happy to be educated and out of that place he referred to as the armpit of the earth.

  Welcome. Some guys would think you are very successful. The part about forgiving yourself and being forgiven by jehovah. The problem is you are trapped in an endless cycle and not really getting to the main important thing in your life which is finishing your critique of the wtbs. Once you investigate their history and prophetic statements you'll see. You keep running back to the Hall to get yourself right with God and feel better. Perhaps the fear of Armageddon leaves you with a sense of urgency you just can't live with. That's the problem. You can pray to Jehovah and be forgive all by youself--even seventy-seven times (no limit). This doesn't mean you are free to continue as before but you are really forgiven. The burg would like you to feel the need for them to keep you prayers from being hindered, etc., etc. Youv'e heard that before. Stop running back to them to feel better and finish your investigation of the societ and their true history. Then you will see that they are not what they say they are and you can find the real truth. You do not need them.

  I am so sorry for you Swan. To have your hopes dashed like that must have really pulled the rug out from under you. To yearn for your family must be difficult. I certainly don' t think you should consider yourself foolish over this. I hope and pray some of your family will see the light soon. There is always hope for that. In a way, this place is like a family. I have only been here a few months and already it's become a larger part of my life. regards, Carlton

  were they just being spies at the UN?

  by OICU8it2 in

  could it be argued reasonably the wtbs was merely being a spy at the un to justify andy invovlement with so obviously and historically a blasphemous organisation?

  afterall, did not jehovah authorize sending spies into the promised land post exodus?

  Why Do JWs Only Preach In Poor/Middle Class Neighborhoods?

  by Latin assassin from Manhattan in

  as my name suggests, i'm from nyc.

  i've lived in every borough of new york and spent time at most of the local congregations until i finally decided that it was all for nothing (my recent posts on this forum explain why).

  during this time, i noticed an interesting pattern - the jws only preach in poor to middle class neighborhoods.

  You're gonna hear a great sucking sound. Ross Perot. Once the high paying jobs are gone (not actually that great after taxes) we can become a third-world country. If nobody earns nobody spends. At least the other competing countries have free health care and even education. When I tried to get tech support from Dell, I could not understand the Indians' accent so I gave up. There is so much that is going to be exported from analysts' jobs to call centers. How can an American compete with such an unlevel playing field. I think this subject will be the next big rallying point for politician. Right now, I do not understand why this is not on anyone's agenda in politics. Unfortunately, how can you blame a corporation for cutting costs this way?

  Make haste to identify the visible theocratic organization of God that represents his king, Jesus Christ. It is essential for life. Doing so, be complete in accepting its every aspect. We cannot claim to love God, yet deny his Word and channel of communication.

  I can't believe you found this quote. Thank you. You get better all the time. You must be a trial lawyer. You know how to use sarcasm to cut thru th BS. Please continue. Carlton
