  hi peoples, .

  do any of you have experience with your parents or grandparents getting hooked on money making scams, publisher's clearing house, or other "schemes" where people call and use high pressure sales tactics and manipulation to get you to buy there program?.

  i know this is not jw stuff, but to me, it pushes alot of the same buttons.

  I guess there is many ways of "spinning" this scripture. I wanted to use it for self defence.

  I learn something new every Day. I still visit a few of my true non conditional friends. They don't even go anymore to the KH meetings. But they still have a high regard and will defend the "lie". So one day the conversation was about self defense. I told both my Friends I legally carry a fire arm for my protection. I said you need to also your not in any shape to stop and attacker anymore cause of your health. He said right away Christians can't carry guns and so on. (I know the story when I was a JW from the 50s) So I just let it go. Then I came across a Bible scripture of Luke 22:36. I read it in a real Bible not the fake green bible and it seems to support buying a sword for self defence. The problem is when I was a good JW I never heard of this passage. JWs just read the same old scripture just to support there own beliefs. I do not have my old NWT bible any more I shot it full of holes with the rest of my books. (that an other story I told) so what does the green bible say on that matter and how does the watchtower spin that scripture? Thanks

  I think at least in the USA, they will be considered a business and will be taxed like a business. It already happened in France and now, South Africa is trying now.

  Do You Recognize Your Baptism?

  i was promised that this generation would no means pass away.

  (live forever book, pg.

  154) i brought this up, although it has probably been discussed before, because i am sure some people right now are worrying how to handle an elder's visit or call.

  Not any more. After I found out the questions were changed. After I found out that the society was covering up petafiles. The way I was treated. It just is a big heartless Corporation in New York. It is even worse. I have quit working for some corporations and you just give them your 2 week notice and go on with your life. But this corporation hounds you and gives you a guilt trip. It has ruined thousands of lives. Sorry just venting. GH

  Interesting tidbit from a bethalite

  by Princess Daisy Boo in

  2. experiences

  so my "bethalite" sister calls me last night for a chat (now i must digress slightly and say that conversations with my sister are few and far between - we have very little to say to each other and any calls to each other are merely out of duty) .

  after all the small talk, she tells me that she was doing stocktake in the tuckshop for a change instead of the usual housekeeping job that she is meant to do.

  i ask her why and she tells me that all the dept's within bethal who keep a supply of products have to do a stocktake in preparation for the big courtcase on friday.

  Arker, My ex (still a good JW) Falsely accused me of some pretty disgusting things Id rather not say. She used my children as pawns. The "friends" in the kingdom hell was trying very hard to brain wash my children against me. I almost went to jail. There was this Ex elder who started the trouble and lit the fuse to this night mere. I got the hell out that cult with my children. It was the worst thing that ever happen to me in my life!!!!!!!!! Arker PM me if you want. I live near you.

  2. experiences

  ever notice this phenomenon?

  seems like a lot of people that leave in their early 20s tend to become wild party animals as soon as they leave da troof, getting tattoos, piercings and the like and going almost overboard with it.

  anyone ever experience this?

  I was raised in "the truth"TM. When we were young we were not even aloud to play with water guns. We were restricted from watching any thing with guns on TV. Now I own legally many rifles and hand guns. I have a concealed carry permit and have a member ship at the local gun range. A total 180 in life style. I don't smoke gamble or tattoo's .

  what do you do to get yourself motivated to clean your house.. do you go through spells where you are just not interested in housekeeping?.

  i am going through a phase(which now seems to be seroius) of just doing the least amount possible.

  same with my yard.. i kept thinking something would spark me, but its just not coming to me.. i would almost rather move than do anything!!!!!!.

  What really motivates me is I invite someone special over for dinner or a movie.

  what type of ringtone do you use?

  do you go with the normal rings that are already on the phone, like i do?

  or do you go with snippets of your favorite songs instead, like many people?
