"In Good Faith" A Wonderful Evening in NYC

by ARoarer in

hello everyone, i wanted to check in and share with you my feelings about the off broadway show we were invited to see.

it was an excellent tribute to dear richard and frances rawe and thier struggles of faith as jehovah's witnesses.

i was deeply moved by their story and found myself relating to it on many levels.

Hello everyone, I wanted to check in and share with you my feelings about the off Broadway show we were invited to see. It was an excellent tribute to dear Richard and Frances Rawe and thier struggles of faith as Jehovah's Witnesses. I was deeply moved by their story and found myself relating to it on many levels. My hubby and I were amazed to see how well life within the congregations was captured, and it brought up so much emotion to see how this couple finally were "demonized for simply following thier conscience rather than the corruption within this mind controling religion. Though Jehovah's Witnesses were never mentioned, the play touched on the painful issues Witnesses face within the cult. The play is running for 2 weeks I believe and I hope that if any of you have the chance to go and see it. We also had the pleasure to meet some familiar faces from the March. Some were from the JWD and we had fun socializing at the opening night party afterward.

Have YOU Ever Met Up With Anyone Famous

by RAYZORBLADE in

have any of you on this forum, ever met up with anyone considered famous?

i've met a great deal of people over the years.

one of my most memorable: dennis leary, drinking a few pints with him as he sang "margaritaville" from the jukebox.

experience over the weekend.

just to clarify..... sad is the societys official acronym for special assembly day.

i attended yesterday at the brooklyn assembly hall with approximately 1,800 others.

The only time the Society encourages college is when they send thier own bethelites to law school to become thier lawyer sharpies to fight for thier rights in court, and to fight the victims of sexual abuse.

Just Became A Russellite!

it took me over a month of patience, waiting and praying, but finally after a "home visit" i made the leap.

after paying the "initiation" fee and getting the requisit rabies shots at the vet, i brought home the cutest jack russel terrier you've ever seen.

now the cat is pissed and fled for the back 40.

Gumby, I am with you. They are not my favorite dog either. In fact I can't stand the little rat shits. I live next door to two of the little snarling darlings. One day I came home and found them in my yard snarling and ripping at my 22 yr old cat that they had killed and torn to pieces. There was nothing but blood and chunks of skin and hair and bloody paw marks all over the pool area and going up my back steps. I ran out crying and my english bull dog, laboradore retriever, and little pug followed me out. The two little rat shit terriers, began marking urine all around my dead kitty, then came at me. One went for my leg, and the other went for my pug's throat. Thank goodness my english bull dog tore after them and chased them back home. My husband called the copswho arrived with me sitting next to my lifeless friend and family member for 22 years.

.

the october/ november issue of free inquiry talks about religion and women, and includes a four page article by diane wilson and includes exerpts from her book "awakening of a jehovah's witness.".

it is great to see more public articles talking about the evil's of the watchtower.. the public needs to know.

WOULD YOU GIVE THE JW'S THIS?

by integ in

a jw relative brought out something i actually had to agree with.

we were discussing positive vs. negative aspects of the "truth".

she brought out that the witnesses do not participate in war, and i thought 'gee, that's probably a good thing'.

ARoarer

Hi Integ,

I don't think it is such a good thing that they don't participate in war. Many have fought bravely to protect our borders and keep it safe for our children to grow up in a country without the threats of cruel dictators. These young soldiers have layed down their lives so that thier familys can have the freedom enjoyed in this country. I believe that as the Bible says, that no greater love than this that one lay down his life in behalf of another.

OMG They are doing commercials now!?

i just finished watching martha stewart and after it went off there was a set of commercials before the news came on and i swear i just saw a commercial from the christian congregation of jehovahs' witnesses!.

it was about raising your children with knowledge and love.

it showed a teen girl on the internet in a chat room with a person who had become her best friend and wanted to meet her in person and they said something like if it seems too good to be true it is..'love builds happy familys' was the slogan or something.. .

ARoarer

flower, the station that is airing this crap should have copies of the pictures used in Watchtower literature that depicts the real love this cult has.
