  Would you give your life to get your family out of the Watchtower?

  i asked this question as part of another thread but i thought i would ask it in a new thread.

  if there were some way to assure that your death would result in your family and friends learning the truth about the wts would you be willing to die to 'save' them?

  Well this scientific study (not) so far shows about 60% said no, 20% said yes, and 20% said yes with conditions such as, "if I didn't have kids." I personally think I would. Of course that is easy to say because there is no way to GUARANTEE that my family "would see the light." That is why this was a hypothetical question, there is no way to actually accomplish this. (If it weren't hypothetical then maybe I would get cold feet and change my mind.) Similar to Jesus dying for all mankind there was no GUARANTEE that anyone would benefit from his sacrifice. He still made the sacrifice, even without the guarantee. So too, with this hypothetical situation, as noted by a few of you, you can't guarantee anyone else's reaction to your actions.

  Actually I started a thread a while ago asking the question, if anyone here ever professed to be of the anointed and what made them have that view. Because I have wondered why some people think they are. I personally never thought I was. I kind of figured there would be some type of supernatural revelation to me if I were, and I never got that. Oh well.

  No seriously. Most of the people I knew who said they were anointed seemed pretty crazy to me. And I'm already crazy so I wouldn't want anyone to have an additional reason for thinking I'm crazy. Is that crazy?

  By the Way nice Zugzwang!

  I'm not sure what that means.

  Anointed, yes.

  Is that anointed in the JW sense or in the Christian sense?

  Frightening experiences

  my most frightening experience occured about 12 years as i was driving in a safari park with wild animals like tigers around.

  there was suddenly a very loud explosion under the bonnet and that really frightened me and my two passengers, if there is to be a fire what do we do with tigers outside?

  fortunately it soon became clear that there was no fire only a lot steam came gushing out, the cooling system had over heated and a pipe got burst asunder .

  You know cute guys should become stalkers! I would stop!

  Okay, I'll be your stalker if you want. Just go easy on the keying thing. And I promise I won't wear any bikinis. I'll leave that to you.

  Well one of the stalkers was a Ugly 60 year old Drag Queen! . . . He would come in and try on clothes. I got him to put on a Bikini and I kept a straight face.

  Sorry, I threw up just a little bit.

  Brooke said

  at a Restaurant! So sorry!

  No apology necessary, I still love ya. I just found it amusing. I thought maybe "restaurant" was a euphemism for hot girl or something.
