my brief membership to the e-watchman's site was a sickening reminder of the brainwashing and hypocrisy of the wtbts.
through my sources, i have obtained a rare picture of the illusive e-watchman.
why does he look so familiar to me .
bravo corvinus on the new e-watchman board....though I think you could have 'held on' for a little while longer lol
I read your posts there and others and was disgusted at the back slapping, schmarmy, 'ain't this great, there ain't no REAL apostates here', and 'this is so wonderful!', 'we'll be able to have really upbuilding (ack...puke) conversations here' .....gawd what a work of bs....control everything about the forum and we'll no doubt have the truth!
boa...
i have been sick and tired of not doing anything about the constant lies i get from the wt organization on various issues such as the u.n. no one from my parents to brooklyn can give me a straight answer on anything.
so, yesterday, i decided to take a different approach.
i live near a kh that actually has a apartment built on to the side of it for the co who serves all of the kh's in my area including my old hall that is over an hour away from where i currently live.
all the best to you atilla....and please give us a report when you're done....
my experience so far in discussing what the 'truth' means to some of the friends and family I know is that there is more often than not an indescribeable 'feeling' that it is simply so....sigh....
this is probably why I no longer am a witness since my 'faith' that it was the 'truth' was more of a (un)Reasoning book chapter explanation....when the said explanation was obviously false with strong evidence... the whole shebang crashed to the ground
its very frustrating to see my friends and family in such a clouded 'belief' system, yet them so strongly declare its da troof.....I too am having a bit of a time coping with it.......

silvia patterson has been baptised for a little over a year.
she has successfully put on the new personality and her spiritual suit of armor is nearly unpenetratable.
she goes out in service regularly and has just applied to auxilary pioneer.
jeepers black sheep, we (wifee and I) have been there with the c-section blood issue. We weren't 'out' yet, but certainly on the way, still we did all the outward 'works' to say we didn't want blood....I seriously doubt though that I wouldn't have quickly given in if it was required....our anethsatist was VERY concerned to even want to help us for God's sake! I wonder why? ....sheesh
anyway....Old Sylvia receives an email from her jdub sister (who had witnessed over the years about how armageddon was to come about) that says a group called 'formulism' has sponsored a petition to the UN to ban religion.......She goes wtf is 'forumulism'?, and then thinks, 'just look at the obvious integration of religions all through the world into society, including the very individuals who represent members of the UN council and the many military people who are religious! WHO would enforce such a ban?????? Obviously, these are some crackpots who won't be taken seriously.....
New dub Sylivia goes.....holy poop.....It's HAPPENING!....I must get ready.....and the first thing I must do is send this email to everyone I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(btw, this is a story that relates to how I got to this forum and then 'out')
boa.....
being only newly freed from the wts, there are many people who were my friends that i would like to be able to explain the truth about many of the points raised on this board.
so i have decided to compile a publication that i can mail to them with short succinct, hardhitting reasoning on areas where the wts is misleading them and also areas where they are saying one thing but practising another.
i would like to be able to limit the explanations to one topic per page with the hope that if there is not too much too read they may just bother to read it.
beaker....do you have Crisis of Concience and In Search of Christian Freedom by Raymond Franz?
I think your goal of a fairly brief compendium of reasons to seriously question jw beliefs is a good one and these two books have many many chapters that could be rendered down to a page or so that gets the point across why many of the particular unique teachings of jws are wrong......

this is just off topic of a recent thread about britney or beyonce.
how many of you guys out there prefer a real woman with curves.
how many of you guys prefer a boney stick body?.
well I like women of all shapes and sizes and healthy weights and....hold on a sec....sucky moment coming here......I find an intelligent, funny, somewhat independent women totally attractive pretty much regardless of what she physically looks like.......k, since that wasn't the q of this thread.....
boa is especially attracted to a female body type that is not toothpick skinny, but with curves (B - C cup) and a nice full round arse....definitely an arse man here.....mmmmm.....
almost crashed many a time while driving downtown in the summer.....
hello, scholar
can you name a single thing of significance that the watchtower society or charles russell taught about 1914 prior to 1914 that was accurate?
marvin shilmer
boa is not a scholar
boa is a mechanic
boa says that scholar and his ilk actually are here to encourage and prove to us how right we all were to leave JWs forever
boa believes scholar and theocrat are doing a fine job and should be rewarded
boa says thankyou to you both
this article was published by f18news on: 4 may 2004russia: sacked for being jehovah's witnesses
by geraldine fagan, moscow correspondent, forum 18 news service
sergei popov and aleksandr takhteyev, two of three jehovah's witnesses sacked on 1 april by a private firm on the russian pacific island of sakhalin, claimed to forum 18 news service that there was a direct link between the decision to sack them and the ban on the jehovah's witnesses in the russian capital imposed by a moscow court several days earlier.
yikes, scholar takes on alanf....pretty much calls him a liar....oh boy
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.
finnrot, if you look anything remotely like your avatar...you are so HOTT!
i did a search and couldn't find another post on this subject, so i hope this hasn't been addressed too recently already.... i systematically throw away wtbts literature that i find in public places (restrooms, and most recently, eight, count 'em, eight mags at the train station that had about 20 chairs in it (four sets of the same magazines--someone had a good month!
) i rolled them up and deposited them into the trash, my father was shocked and said that people should be given the chance to read them.
i said i was saving people from exposure from a cult.
jeece, the un-time is too funny! Before I totally became 'inactive', I would 'witness' and NOT count the time just because LOL
I haven't thrown any shiterature away yet, but I'm not really that concerned about it - everyone knows that garbage doesn't work at bringing in any real numbers of converts - its about keeping the corporation going by dubs paying for it ONCE and then TWICE when (if) they get their 'donation to the worldwide work' imo....sheesh
but i suppose if it was convenient I would throw it away just like if I were to see porn lying on the side of the road - i'd huck it to save some child from getting it (of course I wouldn't look at it at all......lol)
boa......
well, it took me 24 hours to make up my mind after i posted the board for help at this thread:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/71193/1.ashx.

beautiful words you chose to send her in my most humble opinion elmer
(boa is wishing you all the best)
