  Victory for Terrorism

  by Yerusalyim in

  1. social
  2. current

  the terrorists won a great victory in spain.

  mind you, i'm all for the democratic process...it's great...and had the spanish decided to part ways with the us of it's own volition, great!...however, the socialists were project to not win a majority in this weekends election...that is until the terrorist attack.

  now, with the socialist coming into power...and the promise to both withdraw the 1300 spanish soldiers from iraq and to part ways with the us on foriegn policy we can look for more such attacks in other countries.

  last wednesday, me and my fiance went over to my parents' place for supper.

  my mother warmly invited us to attend the spiritual event (as she does every year).

  my fiance started first, "yeah, we could have a nice snack while we're there!".

  I got an invitation from my mother yesterday to attend the 'wine and cracker party'. My wife and I went about 3 years ago and it was the first time I had been to a KH since being DA'd in 1983. My main emotion was over whelming sympathy. I wanted to get up on the stage and say "Hey, guys & gal it's all lies. Finish this now and start enjoying life." I felt like a 'never a smoker' in a ward full of smoking lung cancer sufferers, I had the cure but they didn't believe me.

  I might go. It keeps my parents sweet and reminds me that they (the Org) can't hurt me. You never know an opportunity might arise for a 2034 jibe to a stranger .

  Strawberry,

  I don't think you did get off topic. When your Beatles albums were confiscated, I bet you were very cross!!

  No stumbling block

  i felt it would be helpful to understand just how the wt is misapplying ps 119:165. if you are a person new to this board or only recently having questions please read this carefully and thoughtfully.

  the verse in discussion says.

  " great peace have they that love thy law, and there is no stumbling for them.

  Thanks. To scrutinize the WT beliefs through their publications only, I suppose, anything else would open a person up to the charge of apostacy. Bit of a catch 22 really.

  This guy, Vivian, was not happy with his male-self. After a struggle with his religious convictions and his sexuality, he eventually made the decision to have a sex change.

  The operation was a complete success and he called herself Judy. But she was caught out in the KH when she said a prayer without covering her head. She was disfellowshipped for apostacy (because sex-changes are not forbidden specifically in the Bible).

  She now lives with Bob, an ex-elder from New York, in an apartment in San Francisco.

  2. friends

  yesterday, i installed the 2001 watchtower library software on my pc.

  suddenly i was not able to view any and all "apostate" sites i had just been to seconds earlier before installing the software, including this forum.

  having a gut feeling, i uninstalled the wt library software, and presto!

  I've got a copy of Watchtower Library 2001

  It downloads spyware onto your PC. It's called MyWitnessSearch. Search for anything on the web and it directs you to the JW-Org site.

  I had to download Spybot to get rid of it. When deleted Spybot gives you the following message : "MyWitnessSearch has been dis-associated from your PC".

  This has been quoted to myself as a scripture that states you must not challange the Org. Thanks for enlightening me. Are there scriptures that say the opposite, so could be used as a counter argument? That you must challange your faith to be certain that it is the right one?
