  Man...... well everything Micheal Jackson.

  Hmmm in High School I liiked everything,especially if it had a good beat. I was also into 'booty music' back then,lol Some of you may be offended by 'Hoochie Mamas' Hahahahahaha. I'd drive out the parking lot from service and be blasting it in my car.

  From looking at me, people would NEVER suspect me of listening to some of the stuff that I did,hahahaha.

  someone else suggested this so i just figured, ok let's do it.. 1. all present jws died and i became the sole leader of the entire religion.

  2. then i would dissolve the religion and burn every last memory of it ever existing.

  3. all books would be burned, all buildings destroyed.

  - They stopped making field service a requirement among members. Make no mistake you are REQUIRED to do it.

  - Stopped their silly views on dating,friendships and relationships with people in general. I know a 37 year old woman who married her 1st boyfriend ever. And she is divorced from him. She has no plans to marry until she meets the right guy to marry again. But she also hasn't dated a soul ! Alot of these people need to get out and date. Learn what they like,learn more about themselves and how to interact with the opposite sex. Rather than the robotic and programmed train of thought most go about in relationships with people.

  Everything is conditional. Black and White, no gray area with the Dubs.

  -They relaxed their facial hair rules. While they're at it. That stupid rule about not wearing shirts,hats or anything with logos at the KH, quickbuilds or places of worship. Frankly if I want to rock my Red Sox lid at a quickbuild I should be able to. Damn you all !

  -All this nepotism came to an end. Can't tell you how many hoops I jumped through,grass I cut, toilets I cleaned, and sucking up I did in the name of reaching out. It's like the country club you'll NEVER get into because there's always an requirement thats new,or you don't meet. WTF ???? Either the brother has good character or not. That should be it. I see no difference with them, and trying to join a college fraternity.

  is jws really growing or only natural increases from kids.?

  firstly yes we all know most jw bornins leave but a quarter give or take continue.

  im going to argue that this is the only source of any increase.

  those that leave are barely replaced if at all by new recruits in third world countries.

  I know lots of people eating ,drinking,marrying,and having kids.....as if the end will not come.

  I'm going to say kids. I know ALOT of people with kids. Most are 6months- 6,7 years old. Very young kids.

  I think most of your new people are born-ins. They go through the motions....get baptized. But when they hit 18, if they can they're on the first thing smoking out of their parents house

  Has Anyone Been Present When a Dissident Spoke in KH?

  i know some dissatisified members have planned to "throw caution to the wind" when they exit and break the news as a stunning revelation of lies.

  some of my funniest memories were of teachers and others terminated but since they had to finish their contract, they decided to share their insights and horrors.

  in normal life, there is a certain allowance made under the circumstances.

  Thanks Monroe.

  I missed that thread,but that took alot of courage.

  He took a risk on cutting off everything in his life.

  More power to anyone who goes this route. I can't imagine it is an easy feat.

  Too many nagging questions for it to be.

  Besides,no disrepect,but alot of thiose born in 1914 have passed along I believe.

  Ask,why do they do so much planning and building of assembly halls/kingdom halls if the end if so near ?

  I always heard that if you weren't baptized then you wouldn't make it into the new kingdom. That included kids of witnesses. BAPTIZED people only. Am I the only one who always heard that ? Yet, I know witnesses having kids left and right. No where near the age for baptism.

  Where is the peace and security that we would hear about ,then the end would come ?

  What about the BILLIONS in China ? Have they all heard the truth ? How many congregations are in China ?

  China ? What about North Korea ???

  So many questions...........

  No. But I'd love to see it.

  It's like a local news anchor who quit on live TV during the 6pm news cast. She went from the normal news to an all out rant,then they cut the feed.

  Can't recall her name to save my life.

  Can you imagine ? A brother/sister getting the mic and just going off ? Or better yet a brother speaking his mind from the platform.

  You post pictures from meetings/assemblies and conventions on your Facebook page non-stop. Your status updates consists scriptures,field service updates,or theocratic activities.

  In conversation you make sure you let others know you how long and when you were out in service, along with what you learned reading a particular magazine. In hopes that everyone will know how 'theocratic' a publisher you are.

  You are in awe of 20-something year old boys from Brooklyn with no life skills,tangible future plans,or income when they visit your hall.

  Knowing the above about said young men....you want your daughter to marry one like them.

  You're 25, pioneering,living at home and have never paid your own car insurance yourself.

  You bow your head and close your eyes in prayer while in PUBLIC before eating...........just like the pharisees.

  You really believe the answer to why you may be having life problems is because you need to 'study more'.

  You go to the elders and MS with nearly all your problems, rather than trust yourself to know what to do.

  You read your bible or watchtowers at work thinking others will take notice and be interested.

  You're stumped or confused as how to respond,or what to say when people say, "Bless You." after you sneeze.

  When you see an actor/musician,or athlete in public, you don't ask for an autograph, but try to offer a magazine or witness to them. In hopes that they will surely give up their current lifestyle for yours.

  You go through life afraid to actually voice your honest opinions/feelings.

  You inadvertently call coworkers or classmates 'brother' or 'sister' when addressing them. Drawing strange looks.........

  You ACTUALLY used the magazines/bible as your main reference when doing a class project.

  You have the NERVE to say how silly the Mormons look. While IN service.

  will higher gas prices bring about some new light regarding field service?.

  in the part of the u.s. where i live most of the territories require driving long distances.

  some congregation members are unemployed and many are retired/living on limited income.

  Nugget you beat me to it.

  I was thinking surely they'll bring up the experience of Brother Give-a-Crap in South America,Africa,Asia,Mexcio,or Central America who swam across pirhhana/croc/snake infested rivers.

  Then proceeded WALK 10-15 miles to the hall. Even back then I wondered how come there was never a story like that here in the USA ?

  They'll probably encourage some to assist those who are having difficulties. Or just flat out start car pooling.
