Christian Longo on death row – is he up for a new trial?

by Bonnie_Clyde in

for those who don’t remember, longo was a life-long witness (even a one-time ministerial servant) who strangled and/or drowned his wife, mary jane, and their three children, zachery, sadie and madison.

longo has been on death row in marion county, oregon, since 2003.. http://www.biography.com/people/christian-longo.

well, yesterday i talked to a woman who works with one of mary jane’s sisters who told me that longo was coming up for a new trial.

Hi The Son,

I haven't done any research, I try and avoid such real life horror stories, but if you post links to your evidence that he wasn't a real JW, I'll check them out.

Until then, you're just making unsubstantiated claims.

Happy Fathers Day

it felt so good to read a card from my youngest son today.

it was a funny card about duct tape and cussing.

it was a day of joy for me being it was my first fathers day card from my son since he and his family left the cult.

I received TWO father's day cards from my only child. One was from his nursery and one was in my mother-in-law's hand. Grateful for both but looking forward to the time when he can write his own!

but i believe in jehovah god, and i read the bible every day.. i believe the bible is god's word.

and i pray to god every day.. it's somewhat off topic.

but i'd like to find a friend who loves the bible and want to read and find the truth of the bible together with me.. i live in japan and i am a japanese.

I'd say good luck in your quest, but I fear it's to make money rather than friends.

Counter Witness Video

by Vanderhoven7 in

someone posted a counter mormon video on another thread and suggested we have one available to show after witnessses show us a wt video at the door.. sounds like a great exchange witness approach.

all we need is a good short video that could either bless witnesses with the gospel or plant seeds of doubt in wts authority.

know of any video that might fit the bill?

Onager

Show them a Pingu video on youtube.

Act as if it's a factual documentary about a penguin that lives in a house and uses a toilet (or whatever).

When they point out that Pingu is not real say:

"And your guy is?"

Pause until they start to respond and then shout "MWAH MWAAAH!" and close the door.

I guaranTEE they will remember that encounter forever.

Window Washers

by Nikki collins in

i know @hiddenpimo is going to laugh at me for this because we had several in our old congregation, but what is with all the window washing businesses owned/managed by jws???

they are everywhere!

I called it the Velvet Trap when I was a window cleaner. Yes, there is nothing wrong with earning a living by manual labour and having a trade skill is as valuable to society, or more valuable, than most white collar careers,

BUT.

There is no skill progression and no career progression in window cleaning. The only advancement you can make is to take on more work.

Compare that to something like carpentry. Your skills and abilities increase over years until you can call yourself a master craftsman. You can go from doing utilitarian work to practically artistry.

The reason that window cleaning is a trap is that to earn a decent wage takes all your time and energy. How can you take an evening course to learn a different skill when you come home physically exhausted every evening? The Velvet part of the trap is that you can earn enough money to earn a decent wage, so you would lose money if you stopped window cleaning and started in a new trade.

The only reason that I escaped is because I fell off my ladder while window cleaning and the government paid for me to retrain as I could no longer do my job. I thank Dog every day for that slippy bit of patio!
