My favorite is still Taylor,,he really is a performer as well as a singer..Chris has an amazing rocker voice,,my husband says he should win and tour the country singing good ole rock and roll.......Elliot has the best voice in my opinion anyways.. last nite was his best.. he finally seemed to relax and show some personality..Katherine always sings beautifully... My vote would be for Taylor .... if only I could vote!!!

May 15 WT - Survival depends on loyal association with the organization
by truthseeker inwith the recent wt articles stressing how "new light" has appeared over the decades, this article is geared towards making sure individuals are active within the organization in order to ensure their survival.. this article is taken from e-watchman's discussion board, this is not my article.. .
http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1019&st=0.
just got a hold of the new may 15, 2006 watchtower containing the study article, "are you prepared for survival?

The point the WTS in particular and JWs in general seem to be oblivious to is that Jehovah can withdraw his approval from an organization.
Scully.. that is so true!!! But their arrogance and closemindedness is their biggest downfall..As we heard in SOL's judicial hearing,, they chastise for asking too many questions.. getting educated in anything other than the teachings of the "faithful and discree slave class"..for whatever that really means..Unfortunately..they are dealing with a new world that wants to know truthful answers to their questions and real answers from the bible ..not their man made publications..I think as the older generation dies off. and they are left to deal with a newer younger,,,,better educated generation.. they will find they have more and more problems...that is why they need to fear the internet and dreaded apostate sites....

Ace-cecil gets d-shipped..............
by ace-cecil inwell it happened, oh my goodnes, it only took like 3 hours going around in circles!!!
well its a very long story people, but i have to thankyou for the help yesterday, because i totally wasnt myself in the meeting and i actually questioned them and challenged them, and one of the elders is like wow you've changed, is this someone else talking?and i was like no, my questions are genuine, from me and hes like what are you studying at uni, theology?and im like no, sport and recreation!!!
!and at first i took my sister and i wanted her to come in but they wouldnt let her, then once i started questioning them, they could only say the same few things like the faithfull and discreet slaves are the directed ones and i have to believe them and then basicaly tried to make it that i was diassociating myself and i was like, no, i dont want to leave as long as i could research from other sources and they kinda ignored that and pretended like it was fine after telling me it wasnt, but disfellowshipping me because i said i couldnt promise them i wouldnt do a couple of things they frown upon again and that i didnt know if i was repentant untill i knew that they were wrong in my heart.

Hi Ace.. sorry to hear you had to endure that stressful situation..but seriously now you are so much better off out of the cult that is the JW org..They can no longer have control over your and your life... God will always love you no matter how you worship.. The elders can't stop that. They are not directed by God's spirit. They teach twisted and man made beliefs from the bible..

You mean to tell me, normal people don't get married at 17 or 18?
by free2beme inas a witness, most if not all of my friends were married by 18, with many woman married by 17. it was so normal, that when i left the religion and met all these people married in their 20's and later, that it seemed like they were starting late.
i actually was a late person in getting married, i was 23. i remember being one of the few people my age in the congregation, not married yet.
i actually remember thinking, where am i going to find someone to marry, that is not yet taken.

When I was a JW teen in the late 1970's, everyone got married by the time they were 19, or people would feel sorry for you if you were 21 and not married.. Most got married to have sex,,they were not happy and lots of young marriages broke up in a few years.. My husband and I married at 20... we have been married 28 years.. so I guess we got it right...lol

should I disassociate myself or wait to get disfellowshipped?
by Mrs.Congeniality inmy closes friend asked me today if her and her husband should just go ahead and write a letter of disassociation or wait to be df.
many months ago i talked with them about 607, etc.
all the things i was finding out.

I guess everyone has different views on how to leave the org. If you don't have family to worry about losing due to shunning. I would just get it over with and disassociate .. That is what my husband did 20 years ago.. That way we felt we had the last word and showed we knew that the JW life was not right for us. Why let them have the satisfaction of D/Fing.. another power trip.. But if you friend doesn't want to deal with either.. I guess just igore their calls and and don't answer the door.. sooner or later their little minds will be occupied with the next judicial matter if they fly under the radar..as Hawkeye said.. once you totally disassociate.. you feel free....

Was this guy disfellowshiped?
Maybe not.. if they use the 2 witnesses to a child rape theory.. They will probably counsell him and he could be out in field service on Saturday morning for all we know...
