in a way im glad the wts has hinted that mobile phones are expensive, time wasting, immoral devices.
anything to reduce the number of people shouting into plastic blocks on public transport gets my vote.
however they go as far as to assume that young people who have one will use it to talk to members of the opposite sex!
If I didn't see it I wouldn't believe it. So is it now a sin to talk to the opposite sex without marriage on your mind.
How pathetic, pigheaded, idiotic, mentally disturbed can the Watchtower get. Make you wonder if ANY of the higher ups, ever had a girlfriend or EVER enjoyed sex once.
Does anyone have this article ?????? Please post it if you can.Please see the article "Young People Ask—What's Wrong With Talking to Each Other?" in the August 22, 1992, issue of Awake!”
if russell , rutherford and even knorr's work is considered misinterpeted, or overzealous, or they didn't have a complete understanding of the scriptures (even though they were of the annoited class).
can or will the same be said 50 years from now about today's publications.. this really intrigues me, i love reading the history of the watchtower and looking back at some of the beliefs and predictions.
i really appreciate the 1975 stuff more today then ever.
good post oldhippie
the best one I heard was a lady giving an experience she said :
"I never thought I would get old, let alone my children, Now my kids kids have kids." she was in her 80'sSoon your kids will have kids, life passing people by, waiting for something that won't happen, How true, How sad !!!!!!!!
can someone give me the title of an article on the front of this month's km?
i need it for, um, something.
what jw site are you trying to get on ???????????
please let us know ?????????
I know that www.jwmatch.com asks for the songs from the KM. For all those lonely JW's looking for their perfect match.
hello.. this morning i glanced at the jw calendar for this month.
it has one of those spreads about how becoming a jw improves your life.
you know the type of thing: "when i learned from the jw's i was able to give up smoking/boozing/drugs/coffee/chocolate/naked bungee jumping etc etc".. i wonder if maybe the reason some people have these experiences is because, by becoming a jw, they simply replace one addiction with another?.
interesting way to put it.
How many go for social contact or stature ???
How many force it on their family ???
How many have trouble functioning in life after they leave or are df'd. Cannot function properly almost like a junkie.
maybe more like obsessive, but addiction is a good characterization too.
my parents invited me and my hubby to attend the convention with them this sunday and go out to dinner afterward.
i told my dad i didn't feel like going but thanks for the invite.
later my mom called with the same question.
I just don't know how Jehovah will take it.
you're joking right ??????????
What does Jehovah eat for dinner ??????????
I will never understand people, I was always taught as a young person to respect the older ones.
Why ????????
they are getting as dumb as ever, thanks to the Watchtower.
BTW, awesome answer unique1, sometimes you don't have to think about it, just say what comes out. I wonder what she said to your dad that day ???

they are now paranoid about mobile phones.
What's next ??????????
what happened too many people BORED at the assembly and send each other messages, ooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh, sorry to announce that Brother A and Sister B has been disfellowshipped for using a cell phone at the meeting.
I love how they say, "it takes up so much time that could be used elsewhere", yeah like making them MONEY.
You could re-write the arcticle 1,000,000 times and insert a different item where it says cell phone.
as czar said "Millions now living will never learn."
I would like to read the article on "What's wrong with making money?", referenced at the bottom of the article, Could anyone post it ???????????????
hey y'all.
sorry to build up expectations and then let y'all down but my parents' visit was the typical quickie.
they came by, momma gave me a hug, we talked for a few minutes, then they left.
sometimes the less said, the better ................
well folks i will be spending the next 3 or 4 weeks in calgary, canada.
i have a sister-in-law that lives in the nw part of the city.
i was just wondering if there were any ex's that live in that neck of the woods.
she might be my neighbor ????
no they are not very strong here, see them rarely, small amount considering the size of the city.
before you go thinking that this is a 'minimus'-type thread, the title i have chosen is the title from the august 15, 2003 watchtower.. the photos on the cover are of a young man (22ish).
in the lower-left corner he is a basketball player.
so, how does the wts want you to be remembered?
That was good funchback !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
throw in my two cents .................. How do I want to be remembered ............ hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm ......................
As one of the 144,000 on this board that helped bring the Watchtower crumpling down. I'll live another 50 years, it will happen, take that are you lurkers at bethel/Patterson in your fancy rooms, living high off the hog. How do you sleep at night ????
The Watchtower will come down ............ one day ........
I promise it, just as the Watchtower promises Armaggeddon in 1914, no they mean 1925 no they mean 1950, no they mean 1975, no they mean 2000, no they mean 2005 , no they mean SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN !!!
this is probaly one of my biggest problems i dealt with growing up in the jw crap.. it's no fun growing up alone.. i am sorry, but i hated my parents (probaly from the time i was 13), i know that is mean and a terrible thing to say, but that's how i felt.
i had no respect for them growing up in the borg.
they taught me nothing about ................. having a relationship/dating.
I don't know about you, but to me it’s extremely eerie how all jws feel and have experienced things in similar ways - to put it mildly.
How true, eerie is right !!!!!!!
how more obvious could it be to anyone that the ‘teaching’ methods of the Watchtower are responsible?
And the Watchtower takes NO responsibility, at all. They destroy families and feel they are justified.
great comment be wise
