  Currently 70 degrees here in Tucson, with a forecast of 80!!! Nice, but not white.

  ah, now I know why I put up with three solid months of 110 or more every summer.

  Did Jehoba happen to tell him what the powerball numbers would be for tonight?

  That happened to me too, as a matter of fact at Walmart... But it was a very nice sweet sister, who was very grandmotherly to us growing up, so I just didnt have the heart to say what I wanted to say.

  I went to the "new world education center" BARF, here in Tucson too, Misanthropic. Same one Sheepish taught at. (We've chatted a little on the pm, and know some of the same people.)

  I haven't posted in quite a long time, but this one brought me back to the board

  Sad, so very sad, may she rest in peace. When this type of thing happens "in the world" the JW's say it's because they do not have Jehovah's blessing. Wonder how they can find a way to twist this.

  I am glad they made the point about how the JW religion teaches that women must be subservient. The more bad that is exposed about this religion, the better.

  so my brother and i have been having talks about what will happen when our dad passes away eventually.

  most of his brothers and sisters have died in their 50's or early 60's.

  i flat out refuse to attend any part of the service that would be done at the kingdom hall.

  Re: Would you go to a funeral at the Kingdom Hall?

  Been there, done that, got the stress induced migraine headache, looks, sneers, comments, to go along with it. I promised myself never again, unless, of course God forbid, it would be my parents of siblings funeral. Then absolutley, of course I would.

  The WT's muffled message: Where's the ``Good News of the Kingdom" in This?

  by Room 215 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's been commented on several times on this forum, but it would seem that the billions of hours lavished by jws in purportedly getting their message to the public has been a dismal failure, at least if measured by the extent to which they've been able get their core beliefs (i.e., god's kindom has been established invisibly in 1914 and you had better get with our program or face annihilation -- and soon) -- across to the public.

  take a look at some of the front-page titles of this current year's magazines (especially the awake!

  which most jws like to feature in preference to the wt) and ask yourselves: where the !#!%!

  But you know what gets me, they will adamently defend that they in fact are successfully preaching the good news to the whole world. Pathetic, lots of people dont even know who they are. If they do, they dont know what the heck their purpose is in pushing these INTERESTING magazines.

  Why are honest questions considered apostasy?

  by Rayvin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is why as i was growing up (raised in "the truth") i never asked questions.

  i never understood the birthday issue among other holidays.

  i never asked because i was scared i would be looked at as an apostate or as someone being worn down by the wicked association.

  I know exactly what you are feeling, and so do many others here. You are at the best place to vent about it all, and get some great feedback and discussion. Welcome to the board.
