i've been out for, god, six years now.
it only seems like yesterday when i was before three a-holes pleading for my life.
relecting back, i've come to realize having the ax fall on me was the best thing.

i am quite interested in something mike and kim said in their video when talking about why their you tube videos are being taken down.
in their video below, at around 35 seconds.
mike say's that he has being trying to tell people that the boys in pennsylvania are the real power behind watchtower - not the governing body?.
Corporate members AND their guests' have dinner separately
In a private area, not in the dining room. Interesting.
paradisewas it really paradise to be in paradise?adam and eve never were held by a mother, never cuddled and sung to with a lullaby nor nursed or coddled with tenderness or any human familial embrace.
the first humans (adam and eve) never learned to toddle surrounded by brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles and grandparents cheering them on.
the entire experience of childhood was excised surgically like a trauma patient awakening from an accident with amnesia.adam and eve were never in a neighborhood with other kids forming friendship bonds for life and exchanging dreams and hopes for a future they were building in their community.
would have eaten anything to keep her.
Almost anything. Needs to be Anthony Morris approved.

From Annual Meeting. Re: Dropping non-progressing magazine calls.
so as we know, the wt changed very little with regards to how they respond to child sexual abuse allegations.
they basically ignored the australian royal commission's report on how they could improve their policies.
the watchtower is left alone in australia to do as they please, or will there be some kind of follow-up?
I think it will be interesting to see when kingdom halls around Australia suddenly start announcing elder so and so has to step down.
This is real. The gossip machine will be whirling away, at a minimum.
Also, I do not know the class action process in Oz, but given the class actions started in Canada, it is difficult to see it not happen there too.
i found that the sale (placement) of books and magazines was always a challenge, but it was still attainable.
when the magazines switched from semi-monthly to monthly, magazine calls were automatically cut in half.
return visits that were made "just to say hi" were hugely awkward.. i never participated in the "please watch a video on my tablet" work, but i would imagine that the fail rate compared to magazine placement is massive.. reducing magazine frequency yet again would make me worked up inside.

Would anyone want to do door-to-door in the future?
i was withh a friend of mine who is a jw still and for whatever reason we started talking the bible.
i asked him about lazarus and how is that when he died he paid the price of sin, but then jesus resurrected him.
and i asked him "where is lazarus today?
However, in the case of Eutychus at Acts 20:9, the ransom had already been paid. So Eutychus, according to God's own law on sin, should still be alive.
Damn. Good one.

I believe the Lazarus' defense is that Jesus hadn't given his ransom yet, so no one was entitled to a perfect resurrection.
But your question is still valid.
If Lazarus paid the penalty of sin, why resurrect him again as being imperfect (WT answer is that that way, Lazarus can be resurrected the next time as a 144,000).

i am trying to write a stand up comedy sketch on my book of bible stories.. one idea is how the violence, rape have helped me with making decisions as an adult.
another idea is to pretend the book is being released today and attempt to sell the book and stories to the audience.. do you have any ideas?.
