Self inflicted gag order,
The issue can't be spun as "persecution" like the others,
Theyc can't handle the truth and they know the members CERTAINLY can't,
Always on job one,
If Hillary only had these guys, promoting and suppressing away,
Well,

Elder wants to stop by with the CO for a visit .
by NikL inso i got a text from an elder who i consider one of the good guys and a friend in his own way.. he asked if he could bring the co by for a visit.
he said it would be "just a pleasant call and visit and will hopefully encourage my wife".
he says that "he knows she is dealing with a ton of pressure".. in all my years around the organization, i never had a visit from the circuit overseer.

Stan :)
The worst is the meeting (which was actually an investigation) will
generate an orol report and discussion at the next meeting of the Body of
elders,
This could lead to a JC meeting where he is burned at the stake for his
beliefs,
By being DFed,
That would be the worst,

On this site, there's a recurring recommended line to use to the effect of
"I'm going through some serious personal problem and I can't talk (on the phone, hang up here), never explain or be "sorry" for anything because they will take control of the conversation and you,
You will be harassed,
If you can, do as I did, move away as far as possible the quicker the better,
If they ever come by here I will immediately threaten them with police to
remove them and a restraining order to keep them away,
They seem very nice,
They are not,
They are religious fanatics

"I'm firm in my beliefs": Hypocrisy and Delusion
by schnell ini have a friend who said he'll have to stop listening to me after i told him about yahweh's origins in canaanite religion, because he's firm in his beliefs.. i have a mother who said she goes to the meetings even if it's wrong, and i should too.
she is also firm in her beliefs.. i have talked to an elder about evolution, and as i made the case for it and against creationism, he said that at some point i have to decide that there is a creator.
he too is firm in his beliefs.. all of these people will also talk about going out in service.

It's religion,
Religion is blind belief,
You know what it was like in field service,
Did you ever make a point with a Moslem?
How about a Trinitarian?
People will defend their belief system BEYOND ALL REASON,
How come you and I are out?
We're different,
We're rational,
We're REASONABLE

I read a definition recently that said "true evil is accomplished by those
who think they are doing good."

These guys are deceptive as sin,
My wife told them I wasn't coming anymore and made one of those appointments,
I figured I'm going to show up and let them in, without saying anything,
I did,
To get it over with,
Not on your life,
Two others said they wanted to speak to me,
I said ok but one at a time,
What do you think they said?
I was in this cult over 50 years,
2 together is a trap,
I had to leave town because of the hounding,
Listen to Wing Commander,
They're diabolical,

Has anyone out here read Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason"?
by Captain Schmideo2 ini wish i had read this back when i was 18. it's an amazing take down of religious beliefs, the bible, and religion in general.
) a "reason"-able manner.take this quote, from near the beginning:.
when also i am told that a woman, called the virgin mary, said, or gave out, that she was with child without any cohabitation with a man, and that her betrothed husband, joseph, said that an angel told him so, i have a right to believe them or not: such a circumstance required a much stronger evidence than their bare word for it: but we have not even this; for neither joseph nor mary wrote any such matter themselves.

Thomas Paine is one is one of the most important Deist Writers,
Probably the best Deist site is:
Age of Reason is avaliable there,
As well as Fred Thompson's story who is an ex Witness now Diest,
(he left over 1975)
