ok, so this weeks study article says the following:.
14. how has jehovah been the rescuer of his people?.
14 the psalmist david sang: i am helpless and poor; may jehovah pay attention to me.
I guess that the 22 brothers and sisters in the Phillipines that died BECAUSE THEY WERE IN A KH during the huge typhoon don't count. WTF were they doing at a meeting when there was a catagory 8 storm bering down on them. No protection at all by being at the KH. The KH was right in the path of the typhoon. Oh well "Listen, Obey, and be Drown"

a few things noticed in last nights annual, jesus who?
gathering:.
1: only one scripture from the gospels was read or cited.
Hey the Memorial is the closest thing to ritual that JW's have so they need to be be present as "respectful observers". When Jesus said "keep doing THIS" how many "respectful observers" was he talking too? Yep you got it.

was just wondering how many gay exjw's were on this site, and how did you deal with being in this organization?
and also, how did you end up leaving?.
I'm gray! But I'm also 67 yo and I should be gray, right?

the just of the account, two people enter a city and can not .
find lodging.
an old man invite them to stay with him (levite).. this is so weird, all the men of the city come to have sex with.
Isn't this account in Judges just a rerun of the Genesis account of when the 2 angels visited Lot? In Genesis Lot offered his daughters to the sex crazed crowd. In Genesis the wife became a pillar of salt, in Judges the concubine becomes chopped liver. Same story , different characters, same gory ending.

i have been a witness for a long time and still serve as an elder.
there have been a lot of changes to deal with in the last six months or so since i stumbled on this site due to questions i had about all the recent changes in understanding published in the wt.
many posters here talk about a cult personality and a real personality.
I was still serving as an elder when I had my awakening! For years I used the 'position' to bring reasonableness to the BOE on matters of df'ing and other things. I finally could no longer give talks and meeting parts that espoused the view of the WTBTS/GB and resigned. The body was shocked and disappointed since I was a long standing elder /jw. God did it feel good to rid myself of the hipocracy and bs. Life now seems real. It was not easy but then is anything worthwhile ever easy?

any thoughts?.
In dubland, one can be df'ed for smoking which is not mentioned in the bible, df'ed for taking a blood transfusion--which is not mentioned in the bible but not df'ed for marrying an unbeliever which is specifically mentioned in the bible as a n- no for christians. Go figure! LOL

so we have heard of an earthquake today, and possible tsunami...and immediately i am told.
" well we must be close".
it is as if the witnesses are so happy that another tragedy has occurred!
According to the WTBTS, big J has been resting from all his creation work for the past 6 or 7 thousand years. He'll fix all the earthquake, tsunami, hurricane, etc. problems just as soon as 'break time' is over. Soooooooooooooooon!

i heard something through the grapevine...was curious if it was an 'official view' long story short, it was stated (??
) that a jw would have been killed had she stayed home and not gone to a ca.
(in washington state) has anyone else heard about this?
How about the JW's that were killed in the mudslide? They should have been at the CA also I guess.
