  What a wonderful age in which to live

  by fulltimestudent in

  when i was young ( quite a while ago now) an old lady lived near us.

  sadly for her, she had had surgery to remove her whole nose and what was fitted with a very obvious prosthetic nose, a nose that was instant fascination for small boys, who would often jeer at her.

  i called her to mind and the difficulty she likely faced whenever she went out when i read this report.. scientists grow cartilage to reconstruct nose.

  Anyone Here Used to Fear Persecution?

  i was thinking today about how i no longer have to fear the attack of satan against the jws.

  i used to fear being rounded up and beaten by mobs.

  seeing my family tortured.

  I recall one elder who would go over what "they" would do to 'us'. He taught his little daughter to sneak off and study. To what end i cant imagine.

  Yes as an adult i was distressed as our first born came along. As for parents enforcing eating with persecution threats they are beneath contempt.

  The elder concerned later died quite young suddenly, without any life insurance leaving his wife and many kids (!) in a rented house to live off the govt provided pension.

  at the extj.com forum, a very serious scandal is being discussed regarding a potential misappropriation of funds by mexico's branch.. http://www.extj.com/showthread.php?24740-denuncia--quot-proyecto-fantasma-quot-salon-de-asambleas-de-guadalajara-o-robo-de-fondos.

  though the situation may not be quite uncommon, below you will find an overview:.

  a member of mexico's branch committee went to guadalajara to inform the brothers that a plot of land had been donated for the construction of an assembly hall.

  Describe a Model Exemplary Jehovah's Witness

  by minimus in

  is it someone who doesn't drink?.

  is it someone who avidly studies the bible and follows it to a tee?.

  i think a model jw is simply a braindead folower..

  Studied with JW grandma for 3 years and went to meetings, I have now seen the light!

  by yogosans14 in

  2. experiences

  im new here and im 17, going to turn 18 in 1 week.

  i studied with my gradma the bible teach book and went to meeting with her and other relatives (considering most my relatives are jw except my parents) and i believe in all of it because i never read the bible for myself.

  after reading the gospels i started noticing contradictions in the jw doctrine like when jesus said many would dine with the patriachs in the kingdom of heaven (yet only 144,000 jws can) which would seem odd considering the fact he adressed this to more then the apostles.

  gun rights advocates must be really disturbed today that the guy didn't just get an easily-available gun and get the job done right.. rub a dub.

  Was he on medication? If he was had he gone off it and why.Was it personal choice or unable to pay for it? Had he been victimised by others at the school?

  Lots to consider.

  Books!

  by dynamiterose77 in

  2. entertainment

  i feel like i wasn't allowed to read a lot of books when i was younger, a lot of which i'm discovering are positivly phenomenal.. i was allowed to read edgar allan poe, who remains my all time favorite writer.

  but, i've discovered the joys of stephen king, anne rice, joyce carrol oats, neil gaiman, george r. martin, david sedaris... and so so so many more.. i'm currently getting through "the shining" so i can move on to "doctor sleep".

  i'm interested to see if anyone else that discovered the many joys of "worldly" literature, jumped immediately into what they weren't allowed to read... and what was your favorite?.

  'The Thief Fleet' x Talbot.

  'Sherlock Holmes' x Conan Doyle

  "The Odessa File"

  and the Psalms.

  In my early days in the 'truth' i was curious that some jw I visted never had any books in their homes. Some, no magazines not even a newspaper.

  There is a case of sex with minors just ended in Australia where, two witnesses now adults were proven to have lied. One of them was proven to have fabricated her story and when challenged said 'so what' (or words to that effect). There was no court action against her..!!!!!

  The defence lawyer criticised that the two women were to be or had been paid by 'womens' magazines for their stories. He said the defendant had no chance of a fair trial with the media coverage.

  Prologos is correct the more vile the gossip to more it sells.

  The lawyer slammed the media in the reporting of this story for entertainment not news. I can only wonder how much the jury listened to what was in front of them.

  what makes the faithful and discreet slave (fds) any different than the rest of us?.

  isn't it their superpowers of channeling "food at the proper time"?.

  is this a special talent?
