yesterday i decided to send an email to all the elders, ministerial servants, co's and do's on my address book.
blondie had posted a series of links to articles relating to the abuse cases in the borg.
rather than emailing the links, which i knew they wouldn't click on, i copied and pasted, about 12 articles to them.
Ok, the emails have stopped. Through a reliable source I heard that there was a special needs talk given the following Thursday, about receiving emails. The talk was entitled 'beware of apostates'
So, rather than coming to grips with it, once again they squish the problem. Anyone trying to expose the 'truth' about the hidding of pedophiles, gets labeled as an apostate. And so they can wash their hands and walk away from it all.
Disgusting bunch of hypocrytes !

we all have to be careful about how much information we give out over the net,,it is wise and prudent in some areas,, but what about age???.
now i know many women don't like to admit they are over 29 what do you think is the percentage of correct profiles in reguards to age??.
this is private information and i don't want this to be a prying type of thread just reasonable discussion.
Yeah, I'll admit it. I lie about my age. Am really 104, but I like it when people say I look good for my age.
.
i have had three phone calls this morning to attend the meeting.its supposed to be on arrmegedon and very important.!!.
does anyone know if this is a new light talk on this subject?
Yes the talk is about Armageddon being delayed............ again. They will have more scriptures (bending) to explain, that there is new light, and so Armageddon will not come as soon as expected. Another hope dasher...

ok, this may sound silly and trivial.
but, i need to know if anyone else has had a similar experience.. as a result of facial hair (a goatee and mustache), i was relieved of my incredibly important.
later, i felt like i should send the elders a thank you note for their wake up call to the fact that i was in a very messed up religion.
some in the business community wore beards
That is a point that the WT always pointed to. But according to the WT, isn't the business community 'wordly'? So how is it that they take examples from the world, and make that a standard? There is NO scripture in the bible that mentions anything about facial hair for men. We were created with it, and Jesus had a full beard.

Eyedrevil,
Isn't is interesting, that it's ok to wear hair above the lip. And all is well and god loves you. But if you wear it below your lip, you are wordly and god doesn't love you.
what it is, my man!

on may 7th 2004 at 8:00 pm (est) dateline will air a 2 hour special on cults, and be featuring some survivors, as well as steven hassan, and bob and judy pardon.
set you vcr's, as this indepth cultbuster show will undoubtedly be very interesting.
this is not a jw specific show, but will include jw's, as i am told..
Thanks for the tip Zev. I am going to watch that.
oakey doakey, these are not the best photos in the world, the bluebells are yet to be at the stage where they flourish like a carpet over the woodland floor, though still some rather nice shots which i took this saturday morning.
bear with me as i put 9 on at a time, will take a while, so come back to view the rest.
as per usual click on any image to enlarge.
Great pictures Celt, thanks for showing them.
today is the big day.
we are praying that we won't get any more rain there is a 60% chance of it today.
i am so excited and no matter if it rains or not i am sure we are going to have a good time.
Congratulations, and best wishes
