it depends on the topic. as i read through this stuff its strange to see how many are still applying watchtower 's teachings to current events as though its accurate bible prophecy .

Would You Prefer To Respond To a Question Or A Book Report?
by minimus ini ask this because farkel brings up a very good point.
here, he spends countless hours in writing an essay on a subject that we probably never would have known about, had he not written an expose' on it, and yet he may not get that many responses for all his hard work and research.
on the other hand, i and others might ask a very simple question and recieve a huge amount of responses.

Supposing I Want To Go To An Assembly?
by Englishman insupposing i want to go to an assembly?
i just park my car, wander in, sit down after i've taken a look around, listen for a while, go and get a cuppa tea (i know they don't supply food anymore btw) and stroll out if it all becomes too much.. that's right, isn't it?.

Kingdom melodie haunting me
by Vivamus inomg, how horrible is this:.
you know when you have a certain tune in your head, and you just can't figure out which one it is?
well, i just figured mine out, its "hey daar al gij dorstigen, komt en drink het levenswater vrij".

Dude! this sounds like some demented melody from the mind of a serial killer or some brainwashed mental patient who sits in a corner drooling rocking back and forth strangely comforted by that eerie strange melodie. kinda like sweeney todd or the phantom of the opera.
yeech!

An elder left a paper at my door
by JH insince the last 6 weeks, the elders are trying to get a hold of me, but i specialize in being invisible.
so now they left a little paper at my door asking that i call elder x so that he can talk to me.
do you think i should keep on avoiding them since they are about to end their 3 month call on inactive ones?

How I view the Watchtower religion
by ignored_one ini've just come to realise how much this religion reminds me of those book and music clubs.
you know the ones, buy 1 get 5 free etc.
like the clubs it seems like a good deal to begin with until you read the small print.

all out of dreams
by Ravyn inwell folks i have been trying for the last few years to come up with a life and a future and some kind of hope that this world and this existence was worth the struggle, but i am running out of dreams.
war, economic problems, health problems, relationship problems.
i have come to a point in my life where it does not matter if i get out of bed in the morning.

you poor darling! im so sorry you're unhappy. sometimes i feel that way too i realize it's ok to feel that way.
Its ok to stay in bed and cry until you are ready for round 2! I have alot of big dreams but i know that i will never be a prima ballerina but i love to take classes and wear dance clothing. sound pretentious?
I felt like a fraud till an audition appeared in the news for dancers and singers who can move well that paid $700 a week.
Because i took the lessons anyway i caught on to the moves fast and could add my own interpretation. im not what any dance conservatory would accept but i got it. A chance to travel a little and some money, and to meet some up beat people. Show people are the best for cheering me up!
I have also learned from experience to be careful who you let into your life so most of my activities are solitary. It gets lonely but if you persevere opportunities and breaks do come.
Please don't be lonely, i did some volunteer work and worked with children and some disadvantaged youth and adults.
We talked about all sorts of things and shared simple things like singing songs we love together, lots of games, physical sports, and lotsa hugs its like your own personal support, or family.
There are all kinds of family, workmates, neighbors, store clerks, engage sales people in conversations, persue any and every interest you have find ways to join groups and get involved people can be refreshing.
Life can be good just hang on things can change for you things can go your way when you least expect it.
Every body feels bad sometimes, everybody has good reason to but there will be good days and great days and days when something fantastick will happen.
Hang on til you can make what ever changes are needed to get rid of toxic people, bad situations, lousy neighborhoods or whatever it is that upsets you. Do what you can to help it, even if its one thing every day.
Its ok to have the blues, do all your favorite things spoil yourself on these days. I kiss my own boo boos!
Feel better !

Did Jehovah Provide? Examples please
by anglise inhow many times have we heard from the platform about jehovah and looking after pioneers etc especially if they were short of money or something material.. in our cong it wasnt jehovah it was other brothers and sisters doing the providing.
usually those who were actually in a full time secular job.
the ones who took all the stick about not putting kingdom interests first but instead tried to pay their own way in the world without deliberately working short hours and claiming benefits.. this sort of thing really used to make me sick.. we even had one pio sister that used to make her bible studides fell sorry for her.

What is the worst thing about leaving?
by sleepy in.
everyone probably has a slightly different experience when leaving the witnesses.the worst aspect about this for me is the realisation that my enteire life has been lived and directed by a false premiss, and the effect past decisions now have on my life.. it can make me feel sick in the stomach on occation.. also the idea that friends and family think i have tuned bad or evil to have left jehovah is qute disturbing at times.
