Hey Lurkers in the forum:
by Cheetos inhey lurkers those of you who used to use your own brain in the past do you ever miss thinking for yourself's on major situations rather than running to elders or scrambling to read wt articals.
hey did you forget it feels good.
there is this elder in our family he comes to drop off the magazines to my mom here at my house you would think as a holly elder he would not be rude by stopping and saying hello to my mom who is still an active jw, but he won't even set foot in the house becase as you can see i have a beard and don't go to meetings anymore i'm telling yeh now that is christian.. think of one major thing in you life that you can decide for youself that probley will get you into trouble if you decide for yourself, i can't.

I used size five fonts and the bold option because I can see letters better not cause I am shouting just for the record, geez it's a wonder I can even type at all after losing my right frontal lobe and half my temprol lobe from a fall from my roof. Anyway, yeah I guess you are all right! I was a "Lurker" for about six months till I got to the point of just needing to talk to someone when they kicked my arse out becasue of my strange changed personality from the way it was before, seizures, and emotions such as crying that interfered with the meetings then of course I did have the fun of crawling back to the elders and sending them a begging letter after one year. Mostly my true intent in sounding the way I do is if I can help just one person some how see that You Don't have to let your self be ((( controled ))) by a religion, I was raised a Witness there is so much to life that was turned off by being a Witness and following their rules, important rules made by ONE (((MAN))), come on someone cut me some slack, and as far as having big ones for growing a beard you don't need that you just need ((( FREEDOM))), Mel Gibson screemed that at the end!
By the way I learned how to type partly by coming JWD over period of eight years after my brain injury, and AOL chat rooms.

Is it true? John Denver asks any Witnesses to leave his concert!
by Witness 007 inversion 1. john denver at his concert asks "if there are any jehovah's witnesses in the audience can you please leave.".
version 2. on the johnny carson show he said the same before singing a patriotic song.
johnny carson told denver "see that cameraman there..and that lighting guy...there jehovahs witnesses, alot of witnesses work for me because their honest people..so now you can leave.".

I was watching the Johnny Carson show that night, and Dever came sat down and it seems to me the first thing Carson asked him was is true that you asked that if there are any Jehovah's Witness's to leave, at one of your concerts? In reply Dever said yes and Carson quickly said I want you to leave my stage then. And Denver smugly said: ok I will".
Even if I don't agree with major ideas of the JW's, being treated like that is un-american.

an old thread but does anyone know the answer?
by still wondering in"who out there has that quote from the wt about how since the catholic church claims to be the way of salvation for millions of people that they should be ready to, essentially, debate the issue, defend their position?
if it's right for the catholic church, then it's even more right for the wtb&ts, who claims to speak directly for god!

Jehovahs Witness's are cult do you forget this fact, they don't like to have their minds think unless the GB does it for them.

WIERD! =Yearbook 1967- African Witness silences talking demonic snake??!!
by Witness 007 inyearbook 67 p.105 "...a large crowd was following a man who had a talking serpent.
the serpent gave greetings and and spoke in foreign tongues....a brother was passing by and attracted by the commotion, he went to the house ...as soon as he entered the room the serpent stopped talking.
the man cried out: "a magican has entered the room...the brother asked the man: "is that a serpent or a demon that has spoken to you?....i know that since god has created animals not one serpent has spoken, with the exception of the one in the begining in the garden of eden...seeing that the serpent remained silent the man left the building...later...he was anxious to get some literature....".

The GB always had these weird tales such as that, rocks being thrown at houses by demons and weird crap like that.
