Hi Funkyderek! I don't know you all that well, but I have heard yer 'aight !
Happy third!
boa...of the awesome congratulatory klass!
it's friday night... and i go into the convenience store.
i walk into the store and say: hey honey, why are we here again?
oh yeah, munchies !!!....
I got it buddy, and I'm JEEEEEAAAAAALLLLLOUUUUSSSSS....
when i discovered - only recently - the the masthead of the awake was changed in 1995 to eliminate "our creators promise" i found it apalling.
it was a promise people!!
i am curious, did the wtbts write articles or discuss this radical change or did they just slip it in?
XQ, thanks for putting that picture together on the current christendom religion of jws. I never would have had the time, nor brains to connect those dots....
The change on 95 and the resultant QFRs are one piece of the mosaic that is exjwboa....I had never seen so many QFRs dancing around this subject so I figured SOMETHING was up in dubland though all the dubs around me weren't saying peep....they either didn't notice or were talking quietly about it and NOT to a reg pio/ms who was pretty dogmatic
Thank gawd they published that in 95 - just when the net' was getting going for the public - they SAVED so many of us from their insanity lol!
the recent superstition thread got me to thinking.
growing up i was terrified of "demons".
sometimes when we would have witness gatherings they would start in to "demon" stories.
K, I've been reading on that link by El Kabong...and I just HAVE to paste this:
CAUTION - If you are EXPOSING the devil in any way, you better be doing DAILY Spiritual Warfare, Deliverance, and RETURNING all curses.
If you can hear the "Oh the Blood of Jesus" midi file, and it gets under your skin, don't turn your speakers off. The demons absolutely hate this song or any song that mentions the Blood of Jesus. The more this bothers you, the more demon infested you are. You actually could get some Deliverance by having this tune play in the background, and some demons may actually leave your home or apartment too. Tape the song and play it in your home over and over.
It sure did get under my skin and creep me out when I heard it superimposed on the BeeGees!
Cripes, and this site seems to be for real....sheesh
Of course, this link is on one of the pages:

Great thread Chevys....I find this topic interesting though I've never had any demon experiences myself in over 30 yrs of dubbiedom.
El Kabong: I almost thought I was having my FIRST demon experience reading this thread. I had the BeeGees 'One Night Only' playing on my pc (they're demonized aren't they? Disco = baaaaad demon music) when I all of a sudden I heard this erie music start to play over top of the BGs! I was a bit spooked actually, not really sure if I was hearing properly it was kind of a subtle undercurrent of spooky music. So I thought to myself, SELF! Pull yourself together! I then checked my other open windows and realized that your 'demon buster' website also has a song that downloads and plays! Sheeeeyte! I had a lil' chuckle then!
BTW....that website El Kabong says this on the front page:
In the Bible, God used a donkey to talk and give a message.
So, if you came here from a link that said our site is "funny", or anything but Godly, know this - Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, loves you and wants to help you. Since you are reading this, He has brought you here to offer Supernatural help. This site shows you how to get that help, free of charge.
Cripes, I've been 'directed' to christ once again!
Corvin....I definitely remember that article! J H C, i'm glad that bs is over.
Wednesday:
JWS are obessed with demons, the occult, and sex.
Some exdubs are stilled obsessed with sex....

those life stories of bros and sis's in the awakes and wts were always very inspirational and encouraging to me when i was in the borg.
everyone enjoyed reading them.
now i realise that these experiences would have been censored and edited for maximum affect on the readers.
It was those darn life stories and experiences that helped me through my first cognitive dissonance with da troof back in the early 90's - GRRRR
I read and read and read them....including past year books until I was motivated enough to start reg. pio. again in the mid-90's - ACK!
Jeez, I feel like a real heel now....all those years riding the emotional roller coaster of org propaganda
boa...sheesh
the watchtower and many others claim something happend in 607. this is based on the idea the bible is acurate.
the watchtower states in a few places 586 is the "real date" but they would make the bible wrong which is a no no.
i know they have a vested interest in 607. i can't figure out why is this such a controversy.
XQ, once again I've enjoyed yer surreal approach to all things jw.
I have read COJ's GTR and am convinced as much as anything can be convincing about the hole the society is in with their crazy patchwork chronology. I've seen picture frames repaired with duct tape stand up and look better than their dating of 'times and seasons'.
I've become much more interested in the fascinating historical record of this religion now. Since it is a dead religion in effect, regardless of how alive the great fallen tree may still appear, to me its only value is an interesting study in apolcalyptic sects and the size they can achieve with the gullible human mind (mine was one too).
I wonder what the next supergroup/organization will be to make it big THIS century. Likely it has already started.
boa.....mmmmm coffee is good this morning..
according to dubdom, what are you?
i am a lame weakass lamb who goes on apostate websites who faded.
in the real world i am free from mind control.
I've got a case of permanent fade. But while they weren't lookin', I went out and got a shiny NEW paint job, and the witnesses who knew me wouldn't recognize much anymore.....It suits me to play a bit of a game with this, except them damn mags still get dropped off at my house whether I'm there or not....
I'm almost too lazy to call the magman or current po whoever the hell they are to get them to STOP the mag and km's. We havent' been to meetings in months, service in years! WTF do they think I care about this shit? I threw the latest rather large stash of mags from where they were put inside our door by some sis's, straight into the woodstove to reduce next winter's heating costs!
boa......needs a case of df or da to finally stop the insanity
this subject has been gnawing at me for awhile now.. so many of you:.
1) were raised in "the truth?".
2) did you get baptized and at what age?.
1) Were raised in "the truth?"
Yes, 3rd generation.
2) Did you get baptized and at what age?
Yes, unfortunately, at 15, just after the June 1985 change in the baptism questions - damn!
3) What age were you when you faded, were DF'd or DA'd?
I knew something wasn't right in dubbiedom when at bethel in the late 90's. Slow fade which I thought was just 'time to figure troof out so as to get back into it' became outright rejection of it all Feb 04
often peoples thoughts of cornwall in times gone by are of swashbuckling pirates and other such things.
certainly these activities used to go on a great deal even to the point where lights would be hung on lanterns on clifftops during storms to lure ships to their fate on the rocky shoreline below, then to plunder the ship of it's goods, the ships captain obviously believing that the lights signified a safe anchorage.. ---.
they say that everything starts with ideas.. now this is only a semi serious post, but i just thought, i would post it for schenalligans fun to see others responses.. piracy in the modern world is as much a serious threat today as it was in times gone past.
hmmmm, how would I defend something longer than a football field, several stories high, dozens of feet wide?
why, with duct tape actually.
really, think about it. First you duct tape the whole damn ship cuz the light gray will be just like the navy colour used - its hard ot see the thing against water.
now, defensive weapons would be sensor touch pads that instantly released hundreds of rolls of duct tape off the ship. Thus, when the shockwave in front of an incoming missile hits the sensor pads, the duct tape launchs and encapsulates it, then shoots away from the ship. The resultant contained explosion actually turns into an awesome sticky mass that hits the attacker rendering them complete useless and immobilized as well. This allows YOU to go on over and raid/pirate THEIR ship - MUHAHAHAHAHA
the beauty thing about this is method of defense/attack is that if they ever do implement it - BUY shares in 4M right away! YOU'LL BE RICH!
boa.....obviously has too much time on his hands (among other things)
