  Apple Cider Vinegar

  by poppers in

  i've been drinking 1 tbs with a glass of water twice daily for digestion for about 3 weeks now.

  i've found it helps, but it also acts as an appetite suppressant; i've lost several pounds since using it.

  i'm consuming fewer calories because i'm just not as hungry as before.

  The stuff is like a miracle cure for all kinds of things, and it's dirt cheap! I've used it to get rid of warts and to knock out acid reflux

  lurkers.... check your calendars... october 2, 2014 is only 500 days away.... look for illogical nu-lite from the wt in publications and conventions that will attempt to explain this away.. they've already bought themselves some time by splitting a "generation" into 2 overlapping generations... still, they have a lot of explaining to do... this should get really interesting... stay tuned.... .

  Jesus has been busy redecorating the Kingdom Halls with JW.ORG signs for his celebration! He sure knows how to party.

  What? Did I hear this correctly?

  My mother's a die hard and will probably never leave, but she thinks the rebranding is a bad idea. She was even disgusted when I showed her the picture of the assembly hall.

  

  I can't help but wonder how many other JWs feel this way.

  JW.ORG signs on Assembly Hall

  what the hell is going on here?

  i drove past the assembly hall today and noticed the square blue jw.org signs on the building.

  coupled with the steel gate that keeps worldlings out, it really looks quite cultish.. so is that the new name for the kingdom halls or something?

  Cable vs the Antenae tower

  i kind of wanted to know if some have made this transition from escaping the satellite/cable monopoly to the large antenaes that require no monthly bills.

  does it work?

  is there a good quality such as hi def?

  I have an antenna on my roof and get 6 local channels with it. I also have a Free To Air satellite dish up there as well (Ku Band) but I've got a 12" dish I wanna set up since the C-band stuff is better. I have a PC in the living room to record stuff, and I watch Youtube on it as well. I tried the Netflix thing, but there just isn't enough decent stuff on there for my liking, plus I don't watch TV all that often. There's lots of free TV out there if you fork out some cash for the equipment.

  Haven't had a chance to stop by and take a pic yet. Didn't want to do it on Sunday because it just looks so much scarier when it's unoccupied. I'll try and get around to it today

  So I found the original thread about this:

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/279409/1/JW-ORG-signs-to-be-put-on-all-Kingdom-Halls-New-directive

  I mean, it SERIOUSLY looks like an scary institution. I figured it would be in the WT's best interest to make themselves look more friendly and inviting instead of an evil prison. But I must say it's quite fitting. Perhaps I'll drive by and take a picture later today

  What Happened to the Religion I Left in 1995?

  by JoshJeffries in

  josh here, new to the board.

  glad to know this site is here.. i would not be writing this if it were not 2014. i was a ministerial servant and regular pioneer who left the jehovahs witnesses back in 1995/96, around that time.

  i left suddenly, didnt fade away, just left when something clicked one day in my head during the morning shower and made me realize this religion wasnt true.

  Welcome to the board!

  Even if I wanted to go back to it, the religion I left in 1995 passed away a generation ago.

  You left around the same time I did. I think I made a post fairly recently about how the religion has almost changed beyond recognition for me. An updated bible, new song book, no more hard covered books, no more slide shows, children's animation DVDs released, coloring and connect-the-dot pages, no more book study groups, less assemblies, no more local convention, two different versions of the Watchtower, and the list goes on. It's really quite bizarre to think that this religion changed so much in the last 20 years. The light gets brighter! I personally NEVER imagined the Watchtower making cartoons and activity pages for children. All we had was My Book of Bible Stories and Listening to the Great Teacher, along with the yellow and pink cassettes that dictated it directly into our brains.

  When my JW niece got into a debate with me about the JWs, I told her I didn't want to be selling Watchtower magazines at the doors. She responded with "We don't sell magazines". I told her "They USED to when I was in!" The magazines also used to get mailed to your door in a little paper slip cover. Now everybody gets an independent magazine dealer.

  It's funny how the Live Forever book was like the golden tool used to turn ordinary folk into JWs. Now it's as piece of useless lie-filled literature, simply due to the fact that the religion outgrew it.

  Yup, strange how much "The Truth" has changed. Didn't think truth could change that much. And we're probably going to continue seeing change. I'm waiting for them to start having "Sunday School".
