Does cicumstance dictate your life?......or...does YOUR life dictate the circumstance ?..
I wish you well in your journey...and welcome.
first post on here.
i've been lurking for 3-4 years and i mean i've been a mega lurker, doing marathon reading sessions for months or weeks.. sometimes i proceed by researching specific topics, or posters; other times just reading current discussions.
i'm particularly fond of "old" post, i.e 10-12-15 years ago.. i have laughed, smiled, got mad, cried etc, just reading some threads here.. as you can see i suffer from some kind of "accute lurkitis".

been away from the site for a few days...because i have been busy getting these!!!!!!
(pixel, thank you!
) they did not make it easy, plus technical difficulties.. for the main attraction:.
Thanks for posting..Initial thoughts ;...lack of kh's (bricks and mortar )is restricting growth....In order to worship jehovah they need more kh's (bricks and mortar)?
Jehovah has provided direction to organise a master plan.
Be ready to obey,be re-adjusted and yield!! Be loyal and submit to direction.

My take on this interview is that Reza Aslan is spouting the age old line of ...'all roads lead to god ' he knows and admits there is no proof, rather its down to a choice based on ignorance.....ignore the holy books and just believe !!what a COP OUT!!
Oh I almost forgot he has a book to sell.
i met a jw physician last month, by chance, in a waiting lounge!

jessica tidwell arrived in nairobi ready to heroically preach the gospel to destitute, half-naked peasants, living in mud huts and covered in "bug bites".. when she discovered that nairobi was in fact a prosperous, modern city with people in expensive clothes buying food and electronic goods in shopping malls, she was dejected and said so in her missionary blog.. the comments section below her blog entry is well worth a read.... here is bob marley's take on self-centred western christian missionaries.. "we're going to chase those crazy baldheads out of town".

Food for the hungry ..v...christ/god for the heathen !!
the wts struggles to survive in the 21st century, what with the internet, social media, instant communication, instant video, instant music, instant porn, er, not that i'd know anything about that last one... but anyhoo.... as they struggle to keep the young ones indoctrinated, they've finally realized that sitting in wt meetings four days a week, and knocking on doors at least once a week is not appealing to millennials, and with all the new technology at their fingertips, it doesn't take but a couple of clicks of a mouse to find enough disturbing info on the wts to encourage them to fade away.. so what to do?
well, if you can't beat em, join em.

Please delete..' no part of this world ' and insert..' we are joining in '. Please amend all previous reasoning ...failure to comply does not please jehovah as represented by your loving brothers the governing body (faithful and discreet slave).
PS..the example set by our singing literature cart should be an inspiration to all.
this my friends will help in a long struggle that me and my girlfriend are having.........does the toilet paper unravel over or under.
thank you for your cooperation on this timely matter...
Best consult the 'groom of the stool ' he had royal sanction. His method must be benchmark !!
My personal preference is ' over '.

in watchtower world... magic is evil.....from satan!
the wbt$ video "become jehovahs friend"... is about caleb and his sparlock warrior wizard toy... the lesson is "magic is evil"... .
in the wbt$ video 'if you could see what i see"... your taken though the day of a wbt$ literature "cart with a heart"... it has a home... it thinks..it can see..it hears..it sings..it can feel!!...
scientists discovered an organism that has not evolved in more than 2 billion years (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/02/150203104131.htm) .
one can dismiss this as an exception*!
yet overwhelming proofs are too obvious to miss if we take the community as an individual (community is the reflection of the behavior pattern of the individuals that make up the whole).
