Hi Mary, sorry I'm late! Excellent thread, too bad it was hijacked by someone. It's almost funny how the witnesses are not angry or sad that they were once again duped by the Watchtower, but rather that armageddon never came. In fairness to them, it must be hard to live in such constant expectation of "paradise." Imagine waking up every day preparing for the end, and wondering what it will be like, and if it will happen today, and when it never does, you have to go back to your daily routine. Paying your bills, going to work, buying food, doing homework, changing diapers. No wonder JW's are such miserable people, their whole life is one big let down!
By the way, I missed your picture of what you really look like. That's too bad, I think you're really cute.
As for Branch, don't listen to him. He's probably just a wise-ass kid trying to mess with us and he's clearly been reading our articles for a long time and knows how to push our buttons. If he had any idea the people he was talking too, he would not be so arrogant and self-righteous. Since the first day I joined this forum it has been my goal to earn the respect and admiration of the people here, and for him to make a mockery of it is revolting.
I wish not to speak to you directly to avoid stooping to your level so you can pontificate to me. I usually welcome newcomers, but for you, I have to say shame on you. This is not a joke. What happened to us is real, the evil of the Watchtower real, and if you expect us to believe for one second that you marched into a kingdom hall and told the elders that you are the faithful and discreet slave, than you are even more deluded than the nest of pedophiles you are defending!
But, if you are truly the Lords messenger, than by all means, show us your face. Tell us who are and where you live so that we may reach you and learn from "The Great Teacher" After all, wouldn't the Lord want as many people to see his messenger as possible?
Go ahead, I dare you...
