LOL. It's really hard for some people to believe how whacky the JWs really are. For her sake, I hope you're getting through.

what a crock of bs!
i just talked with my non-jw female friend (grown-up) who had gotten an invitation to the "deceptive memorial".
i have tried to educate her on jw doctrine.

another recent thread about any disfellowshipped anointed, inspired me to bring up this topic.
has there ever been a case of an anointed getting disfellowshipped for doctrinal disagreements with the gb?
if this did occur then there are some interesting ramifications: are the non gb anointed really equal to the gb anointed?
Black Swan,
It's also in the book, "Jehovah's Witnesses and the Divine Purpose", pg 69-73. I'm sure the book's on the internet somewhere. I'd scan it and post it for you, but I don't know how.

that's what they call themselves rev.ch.9 climax book pg.144.
rev.9;4 they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree but only those people who did not have the seal of god on their foreheads.
why would the locusts need to be told not to harm themselves?
Good point. I think the reasoning would go right over most JWs heads though.

damn!
b. is it just me, or is that oddly arousing???

but i realized it was all a bunch of crap last year at some time.
Hi LtCmd.Lore. Welcome to the board. I like animals and gardening, but I still thought their view of "paradise" was dull. Very interesting first post.

i was a jw only for about ten years, but they covered my teens to mid-20s.
i still have problems sorting out what i really think about life, religion, evolution and so on.
i also feel i was completely robbed of my 'wild years' and have never really lived.
