once again, there's a lot of new people on this board as well as us "oldsters".
what was the original reason for you looking at this site and why did you make your first post?
and why do you stay here?
After I read Ray Franz's book and truly understood what quagmire my life had been in, I needed a place like this to sort myself out.
I don't always have anything intelligent to contribute and so I read more than I post. I have learned so much from so many posters here.
I always enjoy your questions min.

Hello Adamgraziano,
Pleasure to meet you
the last little while there have been many talks on sex at the sunday meetings.
it is sickening!
they are very explicit in nature.. don't they realize that there are many children in the audience that are not really ready to hear this particular information?.

I don't understand the mentality. With one breath they preach to stay away from immoral movies and books and music video and with another breath some will go into very explicit details of what these materials say.
I walked out of one of these talks not too long ago.
Do some of these brothers get a high or are they just perverts?

wt quotes will be in
Sister Slug has the same RVs for the last 5 years. Never anyone new. Or there is Sister Broken Hand who never writes them down. Or Brother Drive By who never stops but says "Oh, he?s not home, his car is gone."
Or: they have done all their return visits yesterday and could we do yours? Or "I'd love to go with you on your return visit the one that is on the other side of town and takes 1/2 to get there."
JW's hate service and everything that is related to it. Most PRETEND to love it. This is why they can't get past "I'd like to leave you with the latest watchtower and awake journals", and if they get to a scripture is always the same few.
Watchtower leaders can harp all they want with these articles . It does not change a thing!
Thanks Blondie

they find life on mars?.
as most of us know....they are expecting communication from the spacecrafts they have sent to the red planet.
they are searching for water, organic matter, and signs of life.. how would your understanding of things change......if at all........if they find life there?.
Also now that I am out of the box, I find it hard to believe that we are are only beings in the universe. Who knows what is really out there. We may find out that there are many more "earths" out there. We may be just one "earth" of many more.

No, my faith would not be shaken at all. I have learned to think out of the box and be a bit more broad minded when it come to the universe and what is out there.
i remember when i was 17 and was at a bible study with a ms and his wife, anyways i went to the bathroom to wash my hands and the dude (ms) came in and started washing my hands for me all the way up to my elbows.
i freaked out and left, but when i told an elder what happened he said i should have just been quiet and forgotten about it because there was no need to start a riot over such a small incident.
i wish i would have seen the red flag that day.
That was odd. This elder must have thought he was a Pharasee.
did any of you ever miss the memorial while you were in?
i missed 2 of them.
once i had a very serious staff infection in my leg and i could not wear any pants or shorts because it ran all the way up my thigh.
Never. Missing the memorial for jw is like committing the unforgivable sin.

2004 yb.page 23.. during the 2003 service year,2,340 kingdom halls were completed around the world.this represents an average of 195 halls per month,or just over 6 per day!since november 1999 when the construction program in lands with limited resources began,7,730 kingdom halls have been built.in many areas,once a hall is finished,meeting attendance soars and halls are soon filled to capacity.. my comment:this is nothing new.from the time of the dedication till the newness wears off this is usually the trend.halls filled to capacity does not indicate new converts.proof of this is when the memorial season comes around the halls usually are filled and then the very next meeting they are not filled to capacity.so,for one night meeting attendance soars then declines just as swiftly the next.. i am told that my hall which usually had a least 100 in attendance now has about 35 on school nights and 60 on sunday.what about your hall does it soar and is it filled to capacity?.

Not at the hall I go to.
