The New NWT has replaced "circle" with "sphere".
Just kidding!
a fair bit of time was spent discussing the (one) scripture in the bible that "proves" that when the bible touches on scientific subjects, it is absolutely correct.
this was at the most recent clam meeting this past week.
from isaiah, the reference to the "circle" of the earth.

there is usually a metamorphosis that takes place for a person to leave the jehovah's witness religion.
most people do not just up and go simply because they realize this could not be the truth.
it often takes time.. for those that go to meetings or engage in the ministry, will you forever continue doing these things, knowing that it is all bs?
I have been mentally out since 2010. I still go to the occasional meeting/convention with my wife and son. Even that is dying off.
just finished a 7-day cruise from nyc on norwegian cruise line (ncl- gem).
this is my first cruise in 30 years, so my past experience does not count.. overall, a great experience.
ncl does a great job.
I have been on three. The best one was in 2006. It was a 7-day southern Caribbean cruise. I absolutely loved it.
what is the funniest or strangest thing to happen to you or your partner when knocking on doors?.
mine was seeing a greenhouse with mannequins inside.
scary...paul.
I have two.
When I was a teenager, I was working with a group of brothers. In order to cover the territory quicker, we went to the doors by individually. I walked up to this one door, rang the bell and this very attractive woman wearing just a bathrobe and a smile answers the door. I go through my presentation and still smiling, takes the magazines and thanks me. That just made my day.
One time, I got my Social Studies teacher at the door.
apologies if someone else posted this.. my pimi (physically in and mentally in) friend just let me know there are new episodes of leah remini: scientology and the aftermath.
here's a link: http://www.aetv.com/shows/leah-remini-scientology-and-the-aftermath/season-2/episode-1.. my friend is starting to drive me crazy, but only after assemblies.
otherwise we can avoid talking jw stuff mostly.
My wife was watching it last night. But so far, nothing.
no doubt this point has been made before but i see no harm in emphasising it.
my family heard on the grapevine that "the society" had people who used to animate for disney.
well , if that is true , it certainly shows.
there is a plethora of convention photos on my instagram this morning.
(a lot of my jw friends have forgotten i'm on their followers list) .
smiling faces standing next to convention posters with comments like 'nope, i'm not giving up.
How about this one?

Whoa! Snorting lines of coke in the bathroom at the kingdom hall?
so i saw this article on yahoo news this past friday .
https://au.news.yahoo.com/a/36618776/archaeological-find-in-jerusalem-proves-bible-passage-true/#page1.
if you watch the video, it's a short 32 second video, the man says how they've found evidence that confirms that jerusalem was destroyed in 586 bc, and it goes along with what is written in the bible.. excerpt from article:.
@sir82:

It's pretty much the same reaction every year.
