Now Even JW Men Are Going To Die At The Big A
by OneFingerSalute inso this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.
the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.
he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.

...And what were they doing? Gossiping. Yep, that's right!
So, I'm sitting outside a building, waiting for my martial arts class to begin when two sisters walk down the road leading to the building. You should of heard them, they were deep in conversation speaking about a supposed anointed brother who had done something wrong.
So, I'm sitting there, waiting for them to approach me. After all, I'm sitting on some steps, alone, in the morning. That was the perfect opportunity for them to talk to me. Well, turns out they didn't want to have an interesting conversation seeing how they decided to walk right past me without even as much as a hello.
I was saddened... I was so happy that I could finally talk to a witness that I didn't know about a topic that would make them squirm in their skin... ah well, maybe next time.
On a happier note, I haven't been around in a while due to life (you know how that goes) but hope all of you lovely folk are doing well!
Peace,

Reasons there is no God
by Lemonp inok, lets assume that god created everything as is, with no evolution involved.
this is what jw's teach based on a singular vague verse in genesis.
made according to their types.

What you and most fail to realize is that you are referring to the Hebrew god. There are many other gods that are just as "real" to people as the Hebrew one.
Personally, I no longer believe in the Hebrew god or any other man made deity, however, remember that "Jehovah' isn't the only god out there. Thus, your Noah's ark story disproves "Jehovah" but not the other man made gods.
Hopefully that makes some sense. It's been a long day.

Another Elevated Group of J.W.'s Now?
by The Searcher inwhy are only pioneers allowed to do "metropolitan witnessing"?
why do they need "special training" to stand like a zombie for hours, speaking only to their fellow elite?.
even a pioneer's mother couldn't answer me!.

In France, It's been like this since the beginning of the year. I don't have the official answer, but one can speculate.
Some will reason that since we have a big JW sign, lots of literature and thus might attract more attention than per usual, the organization wants brothers and sisters that are well versed in JW doctrine so that they may correctly respond to any questions posed.
In addition to that, maybe its a way for the organization to help pioneers reach their goal hours. I'm not sure if the pioneer numbers are dropping, but one can hope.
That's all I have :)

Paint Nite - fun evening and a new hobby
by Simon inwe (and by 'we', i mean my wife) decided that we should try something new and she, erm, i mean 'we', liked the idea of painting.
so i enthusiastically (i.e.
begrudgingly) went along for the night to the "pain nite" event she'd booked us for a couple of weeks ago.. the premise is pretty simple: it's held in a pub or restaurant, all the art supplies are provided, the instructor then walks you through how to reproduce a painting they have chosen for the night and you have a glass of wine or beer, do some painting, have something to eat, have some more wine, more painting, more wine, realize you are drinking the dirty paint water and so on.. here's the site: https://www.paintnite.com/.

I'd like to sincerely apologize for ending the 10 year increment at 60. I did not mean any disrespect whatsoever and I am so proud to now know that there are wonderful seniors out there that actually know how to operate a computer,AND use a forum. Even I myself have difficulties at times! So kudos to you!
I'm really happy that many of you participated and thank you all!

Sigh. I don't understand how children can be baptized into something that they don't fully understand. They and their parents may feel like they do, but we all know that most, if not all children, have no clue of what they want nor do they understand subjects to their fullest extent...

Guys, I doubt the OP will be around to read the responses.
So, I will take the time to say this. Instead of making ridiculous posts, perhaps we could try to word our responses in a way that will help the OP to question something? I mean, a witness stumbles on our forum, giving us an opportunity to "reverse-witness" to them and instead we mock them? Come on, guys, I thought we were better than that.
