something about that song is very moving.
mariene sing the song in the closing ceremony and i finally found it on youtube.
a beautiful song, she was under a water fall while singing it.....i thought if you are feeling a little down, listen to it..... maybe someone can post it.. don't understand the words but it's so soothing.....

i'm agnostic.
there could be a god, but i don't believe it's the god described in the bible.i grew up a jw believing in the bible.
after i left, i didn't want religion but was determined to be a christian on my own.. but things started to unravel.
One christians ask me, how do you know when Adam was created? I told him the Bible, counting back from Jesus. He then told me I have never read that and who knows when God created man. I told him the bible tell you, and the flood 4000-5000 years ago. He told me I have no idea what I'am talking about, and I sound like a crazy man.
this question is for you folks that are considering leaving.
it will be hell for your love ones (they will get over it), but for you are you true to yourself.....i was watching documentary "trinidad" the sex change capital of the world, colorado.one of the transgender person made that statement, "true to yourself".
sometimes we believe our situation is the worst in the world, but if you haven't seen this documentary it will make you think...happy to see the city embrace the transgender community....

i think this may be a bigger issue for the society than we realise.. when you consider that witnesses have now had well over a year of regularly seeing their 'channel to god' with their own eyes, what do you think they're thinking?.
i'm going to put this as respectfully as i can; these men are clearly a bunch of utter clowns who are laughably inadequate to present a tv show, but also, they are now ridiculously discredited due to the absolute shite that they've spoken in these laughable productions.. consider things from a jw's perspective; tony morris, stephen lett & geoffrey jackson are 'the channel' that makes their religion 'special'.
these men are the channel god is using to lead his people in the modern day.
Trump debating on TV and GB on TV. They both lost credibility.
ok...so i'm a 19 year old fifth generation jw.
mentality, i've been out of the "truth" since i was 16(woke up after i was baptized ironically), but on the outside i'm a model jw.
my parents are really devoted, my grandparents are super devoted, and so are my ants and uncles.
Stop the bleeding, you are 19 and some day you will get married. Do you really want your kids raised in that organization. Make a stand and look to the future, it has turned out well for many here..There is no easy way to leave, especially in your case (5th generation)...It will be difficult in your situation I must say, but isn't happiness the most important thing in life. And welcome!!!!
there would be lot more brothers reaching out that's for sure.....
Did Jesus have money??Luke8:1-3 Money was given to him by many people because, the crowds would give money if they enjoy a ministers message (ok that may be a problem). Yes several wealthy supporters also gave as well (that may be another problem). Jesus spoke against the love of money but he didn't turn it down. VI: a single elder is not a bad idea....
there would be lot more brothers reaching out that's for sure.....
Yes the salary no doubt would be very low,"monkeys rate", LOL . Average salary for ministers 25k-73k in the US....
there would be lot more brothers reaching out that's for sure.....

with so many khs closing and congos consolidating, what happens to the elders?
clearly there won't be a place for all of them.
would the older ones be the first to go, losing their long held positions of 'power'?.
My sister Church Sunday celebrated older members day, seven 92 and older. One lady has severed 75 years as a usher and still seating folks. There was a topic here"they look so old", yes it's stressful being a JW. Making the comparison with older members in my sister church and older JW's, the folks in my sister church seems to be more energetic and look a lot younger. Older members (JW's) are pushed aside when they are not serviceable....
the last talk at the assembly made an interesting statement, "we can show faith by following direction if we're asked to move to another kingdom hall for better use of dedicated christian funds".
this statement has everyone talking.
i spoke to multiple individuals and they heard the same thing at different assembly's.. i know they have been "evaluating" all kingdom halls the last year or two.
Religion For Sale JW.org.........Buyers, it is not a requirement to be A JW.. Religion comes with 8 million members all ready to move our product....
