  Do any of you in, actively try to get people out?

  however, sometimes i have a tendency to say to much.

  one of these days i'm gonna get in trouble for it again... i just recently told my sil that the blood thing doesn't bother my conscience.

  i told another close friend that i was relieved my husband was no longer reaching out to be an ms because i didn't want to have to deal with the pressure all the time.

  when i think about the biblical tale of noah!

  i think of the time we are living in today and how it resembles noah's time.

  no one's really paying attention.

  Nothing new here, I've been hearing this same stuff for the past 50 years,and before you say "we're that much closer now" let me say you were wrong then and you are wrong now.

  I suppose the collapse of the banking system caused by the South Sea Bubble and Tulip Mania were also proof of the nearness of the great tribulation...ooops they happened in the 18th century.

  And so it goes on...

  Where did it all go wrong?

  being a jehovahs witness is getting easier with each worldly year that passes.

  time is not getting shorter but meetings are, along with assemblies.

  in my day the closing prayer lasted longer than the whole modern assembly.

  I just hope that articles like this become the "last straw" for many JWs. Most reasonable people will see them (the WT) for the loonies they really are.

  so my girlfriend and i are getting very serious, and i've bought her engagement ring, should be done being built sometime in may.

  then at some point later, i'm going to ask her to marry me.

  she was with me and picked out her ring, so she knows its coming.

  What a crock, that's mind control or you, parents turn their backs because the Organization tells them to. I guess you know where you stand. Glad to hear your sweet lady is supportive.

  Try to focus on all the great things coming up and all the real friends you have to enjoy them with. Your dad really is the bigest loser here.

  As far as telling friends why he's not attending, maybe give a simple reverse witness like "his screwed up religion won't let him come"

  Ford (in my opinion) wasn't the greatest roll model in his business dealings or his views, but neither was Lindberg or Carnegie. However there is good advice in most of these quotes. I think the trick is to discover the background of such individuals and then filter their viewpoints according to your own values not theirs.

  can't everyone just put this one item on their profile before posting.

  it seems like most posters have no profile, but this info could help in several ways.

  i am just guessing, but it seems like more here were born in.....your thoughts on this?......oompa.

  I can remember one birthday party and one Christmas celebration...my mother was sucked in when I was about 4 or 5.

  Instead of serving a life sentence I got out after 30 years.
