If you are an ex-elder ... there is something important I need to request of you. Please PM me using my current screen name Amazing1914. I will then relay the request to you. I may take time because I am in classes, and I also need to be sure that Watchtower moles do not get wind of this ... hence the reason for this being in PM form ... to keep the request confidential.
There are a few serious things afoot ... and this one is highly important. Please respond by PMing me.
Thanks - Amazing

HI Patio34,
Now that I am 52, I find the phrase true that says, "Just because there is snow on the roof does not mean there isn't a fire inside!"
i know there are some here that deep down inside themselves,,, they know this is true,,,,, but can't seem to be brave enough,,, ,,to say it.. .
this jeho myth has got you afraid to think anything negative about jeho-bubba.
heres the idea:
The "Jehovah" worshipped by Jehovah's Witnesses is invented by the Watchtower. He seems to have some emotional issues with insecurity and arrogance. He is not the same person as supposedly perfectly represented by Jesus Christ. This is something I have openly stated for many years. - Amazing

Speaking as a man? I would always take some Bush over Harry-Kerry.
Hi Craig,
There is also the death rate to consider, which is about 1% ... this would account for some of the loss. But the amount of about 2 million ex-JWs sounds about right. - Amazing
i am back from underground ... i have more to tell you than you can imagine ...
i cannot use my old screen handle for now, but we are working on that, and it will be restored as soon as simon and i can get it done.
so, simon has allowed me to create a new screen name for the time being.
Hi Avishai,
Are you sick?
At first, I thought you were being sarcastic ... then I realized that you were wondering about my health. That is the weakness of the written word at times ... I supposed the cause of some flame wars.
Anyway ... yes, I have heart disease in advanced stages ... I had a massive heart attack in May of 2002 ... as bad as it can get according to the ER doctor ... the doctors found 17 blockages in my heart arteries ... they cleared the three that closed off and caused my heart attack. They "Stented" one of those three with the wire mesh to prevent it from closing again. I need by-pass operation(s) to clear all the blockages ... so the doctors have given me a short time ... in fact, I am living on borrowed time as I should have been dead by now according to my doctors.
Amazing

Hi Shiela,
Just to clarify a little: This deposition was in two parts, the "discovery" phase and then the "trial" phase. The Watchtower asked most of the personal and intrusive questions and questions regarding "apostates," in the "discovery" phase ... while this is on the record, it will not be shown to a Jury ... however, some of the intrusive and private questions will be shown to the Jury from the "trial" phase. So, they will be seen in the light they chose.
Most depositions use only the "discovery" phase to help attorneys determine what a potential witness knows ... and decide from the results as to what they will examine during trial. A "trial" phase deposition is taken when there is a possibility that the witness may not be alive when the testimony is given at trial ... if the witness is dead, then the Judge hears the objections from both sides and determines what, if any parts shall shown to the Jury and what parts shall be removed. The video is then edited accordingly, and the Jury sees the final product.
I hope to be alive ... because then I would be allowed to testify in person, and the original "trial" deposition will not be used. I personally feel that living testimony is bettert for a Jury ... but that is just my way of thinking. - Thanks, Amazing
on fox news the son of the man accused of killing his family in fresno was just on camera stating his family was devout 7th day adventists and that "there was never any abuse".
isn't that church a close follower of jw church and policies?
the report states too, that it appears to be a ritual killing.
Hi sKalley,
The 7th Day Adventists were founded by Ellen G White ... she was a follower of the Second Advent movements in the mid to late 1800s ... these were started by William Miller ... Nelson Barbour was a follower of Miller ... and Nelson Barbour later became associated with Charles Russell, greatly influencing Russell's thinking and views of time-line prophecy ... so, the JWs are connected to the Second Advent movement ... and if you attend the 7th Day Adventists you will find many similar doctrines, like a paradise earth, no hell, etc ... but they are not as cultish as the JWs ... yet they do shun what they call "Apostates."
A good friend of mine is an ex-JW Presideing Overseer ... he was also 7th Day Adventist the fist half of his life ... now, he is viewed as an Apostate by both religions. Double Whammy ... yet he is a good man, and wouldn't not harm a fly.
