do you get tired of rehashing the same things over and over with us "newbies"?
if not, what is your favorite topic to discuss?.
The Jw experience runs deep for a lot of us....so the rehash does not bother me. But I have to admit that in the early years of my "awakening" I read everything on this board over and over. But now the further detached I get from watchtower the less time I spend reading posts such as 607 and 1914 doctines.
But I still visit often....this board is like a comfortable old shoe.
i thought i'd heard it all after spending a life time in this organization.
but for me the following statement uttered at the weekend circuit assembly takes the prize.. during the "pioneer talk"......the speaker said that pioneering enhanced jesus's spirituality.. to imagine that a made up thing like pioneering would enhance the spirituality of the christ.
to those who still believe in christ ....this is so presumptious and proposterous........i just fell off my seat.. it tells me how this organization and its governing body have set themselves up so high .....that they could tell the christ how to live..

i just realized we can change our avatar at gravatar.com duh!

That's great!!! those little munchkin avatars are a little creepy.
i am a support worker for adults with profound disabilities and some with autism and i love caring for people ..
school media specialist.
obviously, most of us know that flipper always respond to everybody's posts everytime he starts a topic, i think he is the only one on this board that will respond to everyone in his own threads.
i would think it would be too much work for me or anyone here on this board to respond to everyone.
is that a good thing or bad thing?
I love Flipper's threads and the fact that he responds to all. I feel as if he is a personal friend. Thanks Flipper....... never change
please remind me what the work load is like.
i went to college and took a few classes in my early 20s, and found it all very easy, but i had a lot less responsibility back then so i think my perception was skewed.
now i am 31, married, 2 kids, soon to be 3. i work very part time from home.
Good for you!!!. Go for it. I graduated lated year from a 3 year program...... I found it at times challenging with a family to take care and an older mind. But it is attainable.
got some info from the annual meeting.. unofficially, the 'generation' is now categorized as 2 groups.
the first is 'the 1914 group' and the second is the younger anointed 'contemporaries' who 'actually work for a period of time with those anointed ones'.. the 'generation' is now 'the lifespan of those who actually saw the beginning of the sign and then the lifespan of those who worked with those who saw the beginning of the sign'.. here we go again....
OHHHHH my GAWd!!!!!!!!! I can't believe they changed the generation again...............I feel a little vomit coming up.........

So sad!!!! so much for Jw being the happiest people on earth.
what do you think?.
Every dub has doubts. I remember having them as a teenager and so did my friends. The problem is that watchtower conditions you to think that if you have doubts there is something wrong with you. And so most suppress them, thinking that there must be some flaw in themselves.
Because they deserve it.
