  i went to the convention this past weekend in cleveland with my wife and son.

  most of the session was the status quo, but here are some of observations that i believe are worth noting: .

  1. i did not see a lot of jw.org advertisements and the website was not mentioned a whole lot during the session.

  Does it say anything in the bible about being a “spiritual head” or the head being responsible for everyone’s “spiritual growth”?

  2. bible

  my wife is really getting on my case about not being spiritual and leading the family spiritually.

  at this point, i really dont go to meetings anymore nor do i have the desire to go.

  i guess its not enough that i work 50 hours a week and pay the majority of the household bills with no complaints.

  Was the Economic Collapse of 2008 and the obvious Money Grab by the Organization a Coincidence?

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  let me start off by saying that the org has always been trying to get money.

  but is it a coincidence that they have been so in-your-face about it since 2008?

  in 2008, most of the world experienced an economic drop-off that it has not witnessed since the 1930s and is still struggling to recover from..

  So I overheard a discussion that my son and wife were having about creation yesterday

  so i am getting ready for bed yesterday night and i overhear my teenage son and wife talking about how the evidence of creation far outweighs the evidence of evolution.

  i heard my son say that evolution has so many holes and how could something happen from nothing.

  i wanted to open the door and ask them both how the creator happened from nothing just to see what they would say..

  It's turning out our religion is one of the worst offenders when it comes to child abuse

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  remember when we pointed out how bad child abuse was among christendom?

  over the last few years, i haven't heard anything about the rampant abuse claims in christendom.

  it's turning out that we have our own to deal with, a lot to deal with.

  I quit the Theocratic Ministry School

  2. experiences

  after almost 24 years in the school and doing it since i was nine years old, i officially resigned.

  it has become increasingly difficult to prepare talks, especially with the new format for brothers.

  i did not mind doing them; i actually put the time and effort into getting them out.
