The world is a big place and i feel kind of a very small part of it in my neighbourhood, but when i think about it, the best things in my life, i mean those things in life which give the most pleasure are often free...love, friendship, nature, family. And the mod cons i take for granted were luxuries or didnt exist in my youth.

"The world is so bad!!"
by stuckinarut2 ini am getting so sick of constantly hearing witnesses say "the world is getting so bad...etc...blah blah....etc...".
yes, there are troubles in some parts of the world, but most of the ones whinging live in some of the most peaceful and fortunate countries (such as australia).
the constant doom and gloom mentality actually shows a lack of respect for life itself!!!!

Suffering can be explained without Satan
by exWTslave ingrief is experienced in different degrees by different people though the happening is same.. 1) death of a father who is a bread-winner of the family brings in acute grief to the bereaved.. 2) death of a father who is a liability to the family brings no grief to the bereaved.. 3) death of a father who is a pedophile and womanizer brings joy to the bereaved.. this shows grief is more of perception than the loss, and is usually the result of limited vision.
once moved to a larger perspective, the very thing that causes suffering may produce even its opposite.
when one of our family members moves into another house, we dont grieve over it.

Well as Witnesses we were inspired by books. As an exWtslave myself, the first question i now ask myself with " self help " books is who benifits most from the book. Its usually the author/ publisher and i often conclude that was the reason the book was written in the first place. Maybe thats why Narrow Hope would be a better name for me than New Hope and Happiness.

They are i- Pad Nutty Now
by Poztate inso many at my wife's hall have rushed to buy i-pads,androids etc for use in servicetm and at the hall.. most know little or nothing about how to use them but have joined the stampede to jw.org tm and the reinvention of the wtbts.. it prompted one elder at my wife's hall to have a seminar at his house to explain how to use them in service and at the hall.. how exciting.... one 80 year old pioneer woman will be there with her new toy.. as a distraction it seems to be working quite well.
no need to worry about 1914 or other issues.. they are all nuts and getting nuttier....

Bible Atrocities
by Trapped in JW land ini really can't wrap my head around how people can still consider god loving with such atrocious biblical accounts such as, 1 samuel 15, (god ordering the slaughter of amelikite baby's and children) 2nd kings 2, forgot the verses (god sending bears to maul 42 children) and many others.have you ever asked a witness or anyone elsewhat they think about these accounts?
what was their response?
i'd love to ask one, but unfortunately i'm still physically in the cult and i wouldn't want to raise any suspicions.

JW Witnessing Trolleys. To approach or ignore what is your preference and why?
by KateWild ini saw two brothers this morning next to the main train station in liverpool city centre this morning.
they were not actively approaching anyone.
what i found strange was that they were from a cong that has different territory, so i don't know why they were there.. anyway i knew them both, and they know i was df'd, i was in my car and couldn't park up for a chat, but i did beep and wave to them as i drove passed and they waved back.
