what would your question be?
Would you please prove by your own standards of measuring all of Christendom as the result of the Great Apostacy that you are not also at the forefront of Apostates of all time?
ps You're obviously not allowed to use the so-called proofs and reasoning that led to your apostacy in the first place!
Ah hell, you won't answer anyway - how about letting me do it? Reeeeaaaalllllly!

a pissed off ex-jw cuz of who they are and who I was because of them....
this aircraft is the same model owned by the wt.
it is a twin-engine piper pa-31-310 navajo and it's n number is n254sw
as their other cessna twin-engine, this one is also based in alaska.
BTW folks - I do believe there is a reason this is a 2 prop plane.
I knew of a bro who used to do northern witnessing in canada with his single prop plane until the society specified 2 prop only please due to the extra safety margin in case of an engine failure.
Its the story I heard about this bro's former high-flying days volunteering for remote witnessing, take it or leave it.
And otherwise, I agree with all those who felt this was a non-issue (no offense to the thread or the efforts being made to keep a finger on the wts pulse). Quite simply, according to circumstances this org will use what they can and have to, to reach the public with their preaching (selling).

may you all have peace!.
it was spirit that was put into that "soul"... and the spirit... that "sins"... must be destroyed.
but his spirit did not die nor was it destroyed.
amen amazing 1914
boa - who needs no religious complexity right now - sigh
8 'right' if you can call what i did on that site as 'right'
heh heh - was fun though - i'm not gonna try again

an assman for sure (women)
i arrived home from work late this evening and was perparing to settle down for dinner when a knock sounded on the front door at 7.30. upon opening it i was amazed to see an old friend of mine from the local congregation, dave.
we exchanged hellos (no how are you?
), no hand extended to me as a greeting.
a blessing i've had lately a few times as well, especially with the view to inviting to the memorial (now passed, and we didn't go for the first time - for me in over 30 yrs)
i haven't yet charged in to do unspiritual battle but am still researching, reading and surfing this site to be amply 'armed' in the case of a 'discussion'.
once i phone or meet with the po to cancel our lit order and ask for no visits until i request them, something interesting might happen
their responses to you add to the confidence of my own decisions about the borg
boa
they sure have a knack for popping up out of nowhere eh? I just remember that my own 'witnessing' and visits were doing the same thing to hundreds of people in their own private homes - cheeses, oops, i mean jeece!
i prepared the following in abrief essay form from my research on the subject.. please read it through.
it will take a few minutes.i believe it is comprehensive enough for use with almost anyone.. if any one wants it in word ot pdf format, i can email it you.. a matter of reason.
the issue of being disturbed by the watchtower society becoming associated with the united nations as a non-governmental organization (ngo) is not a matter of faith, but a matter of reason.. .
I'm preparing to send some info to my jw finlaw about this stuff - just the basic facts and the un website links and instructions on how to get there.
Jeepers - it should be good for something
Thanks for your info, I've copy/pasted it into my files.

i am looking for the wt articles that contest the lies, half truths and deceptions used by apostates to weaken jws faith in jehovah's spirit directed organization.. can anyone help me find them?.
please?
Black Sheep,
I understood your question and I know very few answers to 'apostate' lies, half-truths etc.
Actually, I only recall one right now.
When I first arrived at bethel in late '97, I got my first computer that was hooked up to the internet. I searched around different things and really avoided most of the 'apostate' stuff, however, I do recall some claim by 'apostates' that the WTS had dallied with the Nazis at one of the conventions sites and the swastika flag was still up and some other stuff. The 'apostates' made several claims and, oddly enough, those were 'answered' in an Awake article in 1998. Since I was at bethel, I had access to one of their library's where the older yearbooks were available to confirm or deny some of the 'apostate' claims. I had some q's but didn't get too worried and then 'BAM' just like answering a prayer (lol), the above Awake came out addressing this 'apostate' claim.
The other day I read somewhere that their 'answer' was not completely truthful but you'll have to search that out yourself.
Other than that, I can't remember at this time of any other direct 'apostate' answers by the WTS.
XQsThaiPoes - interesting point about the wts taking 'apostate' ideas and making them 'new light'. Reminds me of the Liberal party here in Canada stealing Alliance party ideas and making them their own thus neutralizing the Alliance party.
boa
btw, one of the other interesting jw-related sites I went to, was one that was kind of like a jw-dictionary for non jws. It seemed to be an actual bro running it and there didn't seem to be any 'apostate' stuff on it, but it did have some interesting comments on beards.
this is my official liberation-opting to miss a memorial and joining the community here on this day.
i've been to the memorial maybe twice in 12 years but was "this close" to checking it out again for curiousness sake to see if i would feel differently as so much time has passed and beacuse i've changed so much.
anyone here ever wonder if you just imagined the horrorness of being a jw?
welcome art in me,
i too missed the memorial tonight for the first time ever (over 30 yrs been attending)
thanks for hopefully just the beginning of your story
boa
btw - xena's avatar is HOT
well, saturday i went to a haunted house in the middle of the night;.
sunday i watched the ten commandments and had a dube.
i fell asleep.
woke up with hot blonde (my wife not his ^ )
hot blonde made me breakfast (the doll)
went and bought hot blonde new computer stuff for her web design hobby
stayed home as sundown approached and bbq'd mooseburgers
copious beer and a little shot of rye to finish off the night (hot blonde had Mike's hard cranberry)
a little apostasizing fraternization with you sobs on chat
oops, missed memorial for the first time in over 30 yrs - ack!
boa
(hope hot blonde is VERY thankful for new computer upgrade )
.
i decided to stay in, and sign up here instead.
wise move?
Welcome English Patient!
Your one up on me - this will be the first time not attending <ever> for me. Wife and I will stay home and so far not a shred of guilt - hahaa! We must be hardcore ex-dubbies now cuz even the weak and wild go to memorial at the very least!
Of course, non of our extensive dubbie family knows about this yet - the sparks will fly sometime I'm sure.
Take care and tell us more about yourself when you're ready...
boa
pass me a burger and some vodka please...(no offense to legit partakers out there)
