hi, i am also a practicing jehovah's witness and very proud of it,to say the very-very least..!
i am a middle-aged man with many decades of being a witness of jehovah god in england.. this important letter is personally to you, just as many of the bible's 88 letters are to be taken personal by you the reader.
i am writing to you to urge you to take stock of your life, think what your future holds for you.
Wow....seven pages of posts. I quit reading after he compared the importance of his own rant here on this "apostate" forum, to the 66 88 letters of the Bible...this has got to be a joke.
This important letter is personally to YOU, just as many of the Bible's 88 letters are to be taken personal by YOU the reader.

Both ladies have their hands on their boosoms as if they are having heart palpatations or difficulty catching thier breath.
JW's are so doubtful about the authenticity of their religion that they become almost giddy when someone noteworthy (for whatever reason) pays the slightest bit of attention to them.
If it were up to JW"s Hulk Hogan wouldn't exist.....he'd have shaved off his trademark moustache, handed over his Gonads and been pussified into a bland do as you're told door knocker a long time ago.

Flurette is now 38....still looking for a brother and waiting for the end to come.....and the dance goes on.

i often download open yale courses audio for my mp3 player.
i work repatative in the morning so get 3-4 hours of courses,.
one done today on the philosephy of death made a point.. if you lived 300 years you might might still remember childhood.. 500 year childhood might be gone and by then you are not the same person you were at 50. in fat you might not even rmembe you were that person!.
1000 year the guy or girl you are is NOTHING like the person you were at 30-40-50 etc. By that time you are a renewed person many times over and likely have no memmory of your youth.
JW's will tell you that the if the above is true, it is because of Adameic sin and imperfection. In the new system, when we're perfect, memory won't be a problem.
I notice the girl in the video who lived, didn't age at all between the time when her sister/friend died and was resurected. There wouldn't have been as much of an emotional impact if the girl that lived had become an elderly grey haired old woman in the intervening years.
This was all very calculated and it didn't hurt the agenda to play a kingdom song in the background. They wanted everyone viewing this, no matter how old they are, to see themselves as they do in their own mind, as still being young. They wanted to give the impression that the resurrection would happen soon after their loved one dies. A more realistic video would show a widow or a mother who lost a child and grew old spending her life waiting decades for the promised resurrection.
a little experience that happened very recently:.
another brother, an elder, and i were talking, i was explaining to him and giving him several examples of how a couple of the elders in our congregation were blatantly trying to run their own show, parading themselves around as "representatives" of the body, when the other brothers didnt know what the hell they were talking about.
they are using their "elder powers" to bully and push people around, causing a bit of angst and hurt feelings.
Jack don't you agree that Jehovah is directing his organization right here on earth through his FDS, the governing body, and the elders?"
You should have said "Extraordinary claims reqire extrordinary evidence."
- well, i'd be damned.
i'm a born in jw and never in a million years i'd thought i'd see this.
from internet is evil to website worshipping in less than a decade.
It may be just a rumor but I heard it's become a trend among the more "edgy" JW kids to give eachother JW.org tattos and their parents and the Elders are having a hard time disputing it. (kidding)
the letter has appeared at last - just for uk.
it is a money grab for the new bethel which has been approved.
there is a video to be shown - just watched it - brief summary of uk bethels, why current one is too small, why we need money to build a new one.
Honesty is the best policy....if you plan to give zero then say zero on the slip. This will send a message to whomever sees the donation slip and may possibly confirm that they are not on their own in resenting this rich U.S. based religion for asking folks from the U.K. to give them money. Also, you may not be the only one in your congregation who will refuse to donate. It could make quite an impression if there are many who refuse to give anything.
Also, saying you are going to donate a large amount makes you resort to dishonesty (which ultimately hurts you) and it may serve as an encouragement to those who view the donation slips, when they see that someone is giving generously.
If the donation slips are anonymous, perhaps you could enter a big fat ZERO and give a short but powerful explanation as to why.
