  telling anyone this is your last chance.

  umdertoecho: they told a BIG lie and they shun you.

  freddo: so many brothers gave up good jobs, homes and common sense.

  william: I can understand those of you who were young at the time, your parents or

  older men in the congregation wouldn't lie to you, right.

  blondie: That's is what my mom kept telling my sister. LOL

  telling anyone this is your last chance. My sister went to my mom and told her, you

  have one year to become a JW. My ex- told her folks the same thing. I guess Jehovahs

  spirit wasn't working on me, because I still had some doubts. Thankful no one has ever

  told me, didn't you tell me back in 1974 we wouldn't be here today.

  You think one would be embarrassed, credibility down the tube.

  New convention theme

  by StarTrekAngel in

  just wanted to post here real quick, as many have joked about it.

  we had an announcement in our cong last week about the upcoming one day assembly.

  the title of the assembly is "imitate jehovah".

  Someone else's journey(especially Jehovah) may not always be applicable to yours

  because we each have different circumstances, resource and strengths. Furthermore

  in an ever dynamic world, conditions are seldom identical for two people.

  We know the bible don't accurately document Jehovah's ways, at one point he is

  out of control (OT) and then in the NT he tell us to love our enemies. So which of

  the two are we suppose to imitate.

  2. humour

  within the past couple of days, women in nyc are going around topless in public.

  i read in a news article, that in new york city, there are no laws against women going topless in public.the article says that family people are getting offended and they want to stop topless women in public.

  in europe women show their breasts on on tv, the beach, and breast feeding in public.

  Think about it, in the 50's you were lucky to see a woman thigh, the

  70's the mini-skirts , when was the last time you went to the beach.

  Holy sh--t there is nothing left to the imagination. Some folks believe there

  will be mass rapes of women..LOL

  My yoke is easy and my burden is light, unless you're a JW than you will have many strange complicated rules

  The wife and I divorced over a year, she came to my job to see if we could work it out.

  We gave it a try, she sneaking around visiting my place because I was DF.

  One night I'm visiting her, our four kids not home. My oldest daughter

  came home while we were sitting talking in the kitchen, she screamed "dad what

  are you doing here, you know you shouldn't be here with mom alone". I was

  speechless and very upset, the wife didn't say anything. I walked out and never

  returned. A year later she married a brother(elder) who she had spent nights at his place.

  That one daughter, I haven't seen or talk to her in 13-16 years, a year ago she divorced

  and will remarry this November. It's funny how life works, she have two girls and he have 4

  kids, three boys and a daughter.

  The elders of the 1980s are now in their 60s and 70s

  having just come back from the uk and spoke with some witnesses to find out how my old congregation is doing, i realized i am now the age that my elders were when i was a kid.

  and i wonder what the elders who are now in their 60s and 70s are thinking when they look in the mirror and an old face looks back at them.

  many of the elders in my old hall are now retired.

  The last time my ex-brother-law elder visit me, he looked beaten.

  He's 78 and failing health, we were very close. So he ask what are you doing

  with the knowledge that you have gain from the Bible, I can see you are know

  your bible.Why not come back. It's been 28 years since I left and no way will I return,

  life have been good for me. I told him I have learned to play the guitar, golf, met some

  fine folks in the mean time, a great life. His response, I always wanted to learn to play the guitar.

  His goal in the borg was to become CO or DO, to bad because he was removed as a elder

  twice for abusing his wife (my sister). He would have made a great GB member...

  The salvation paradox

  by OverlappingGeneralizations in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  another thing that has bothered me-.

  if the righteous and the unrighteous will be resurrected, and will have the same chance at paradise as the hard-core dubs, what was the point of being hard core?

  i know the point used to be "well, armageddon is gonna happen this weekend, and you'll survive and they won't!

  The hard core JW's will Lord over the new arrivals. They will be walking around

  telling folks, I told you so now get down on your knees and thank me you unrighteous one.

  Afterwards go and clean up all the sh--t here on earth.
