Good call, Blueblades. Someone authorized the settlement. That would be a great document to have! The lawyers can sign as attorney-in-fact for many things, but the settlement is the client's call and lawyer wants to cover his own as*. Who signed? My money is Adams signed.

Tee shirt with foolish WT quotes, I will wear to reunion with witnesses
by dawg inas many of you know, i've been writing letters to family members telling them how damn stupid i think the gb is; providing proofs of all their comedic gaffs (building mansions for prophets and the like) including some of their most outlandish quotes-which i know all of us can remember verbatim.
spurned on by mary and others in this site, i've decided that i will try a new ploy.
my family reunion is every labor day and i've decided to wear a tee shirt to it with russell, rutherford, and franz's images on it... i will include images of a pyramid, beth sarim, on the front and 607?

Maybe you could try the one where they say homosexuality is not a basis for Christian divorce. I'm sure a picture on your tee shirt might be worth a thousand words!

Seriously, my wife says to me : So what should I tell people who ask about you how you are? ANd I say: Tell them I have never felt better.
Honestly, I am really happier than I have been in a long time--- I have more peace, I am less unsettled, I have less conflict in life--- and I have only missed meetings for three months. Geez, at a year I'll be bottling it!
This is just another WTS attempt at making healthy people feel guilty for going to the beach on the weekend or taking longer vacations. These guys are BS artists all the way.

This sadness and depression are what I see in older folks. It isn't "this system" that depresses them, it is "this religion" and its false promises.
If they would actually preach the message of Christ and act like Christians and start giving to others they would have joy. This is a religion based solely on survival, and survival is a primal and selfish instinct. A life lived on instinct must end up empty. The leaders of this religion bear the responsibility. I feel sorry for the older ones. The younger ones seem a lot smarter to me. Certainly the ones that are leaving are a hell of a lot smarter than i ever was.
Thanks for the post.

Guard against "Independent Thinking"
by PinTail inyes when i heard them say to guard against "independent thinking" at .
assembles, congregation meetings, and in print, i immediately feel a cold feeling run down my back, like something evil and not jehovah.
thinking about it now, i can't" understand how everyone else who is still a witness cannot be just as unsettled by the admonishment to guard against "independent thinking".

Every other area of my life I always ran the other way whenever some one started telling me "how" to think, except religion. I should have started thinking for myself 30 years ago. Yes, it is the mark of a cult.

Question: Why was it ok to sell unbled meat to a foriegner for them to eat?
by Lady Liberty inhello all... ok, i have a question for any takers: deuteronomy 14:21 says this:.
21 "you must not eat any body [already] dead.
so, it is obvious that this is why they could not eat a animal that they found that had died, say from natural causes.
-

Let's not leave out the economic damage that an animal who dies of itself would do to its owner. This was a rural agrarian culture and many of these families owned preciuos few animals. To deny a family the use of the animal--- whether as food or as money---- wasn't something God was willing to do. It all came back to what has already been said marvelously: man has to acknowledge God as the giver of life and he acknowledges this in Bible times through ceremony. God didn't seek to make things more difficult for people, but to give them a break. The WTS should give their followers the same break. These guys are evil.
