hi randy - you have reasons to be proud!
on http://www.cesnur.org/2001/london2001/cowan.htm the cesnur is quite clear they don't like the activities of the terrible randy.
here is a quote:.
Randy is great, his was the first experience I read in my search for the truth about the JW's. (I was a lifer) I'll always be grateful for his candor and perserverence in making the real "new light" known to people.......Cesnur can dip their heads in a flush-box and pull the lever.

dont get me wrong, i dont mean to sound critical or rude, but how can some of you say you are witnesses but not attend meetings and stuff...or go witnessing?
its what jehovah says to do, so how can u not do what jehovah says, but yet call yourself a jehovahs witness??
?
I think what you may be referring to, Speffot, is the fact that some still say there are in and questioning themselves, or are inactive and such. Listen, if they want to stay they will, if not they wont. Some people's recent threads have specifically been about leaving and negativity they have felt here. I don't feel that way.
If you're here to add an objective view, then by all means do. But if you are quesitoning the 'spirituality' of emotionally, and sometimes physically wounded people, don't bother. We're all human here, and if you're looking to bring back "lost sheep" forget it. This is a DISCUSSION board, not a convincing board.
Please don't come here to judge, it's the last thing we need.
i was skimming through the book "mankinds search for god" that my uncle left a few months ago.
i wanted to give it the once over before i tossed it in the trash, and whoa!
anyone see that picture on pg 11?
Actually it was a picture of a judicial committee doing it's thing.
because the help line is manned by only one person, marylin suggests calling the un directly because she is being inundated by phone calls from both active and inactive witnesses looking for answers that she cannot provide.. please call the un directly with any questions about this topic.. thank you..
it's such a joke, they will find some way to twist it to their advantage......but it'll be interesting so see how....

the bible is inspired because the bible says it is inspired.
the watchtower society has the truth because the watchtower society says it has the truth
right, logi.
also, Wt says they're the lightbearers....which means they're deluded.

ok.. for those of you who may not know me from previous posts, all i can say is this is unusual for me and please do not judge me as a person for it.
for the other friends who know me by such, please take this into consideration when you read this.
i would like to get some feedback on this, perhaps from some of the folks from the martial arts threat joel started recently, especially if you have also read my other posts.. (hopefully a well balanced combo).
I'm not an attention whore, but Intro wanted me to post this.
Last night, on the way home from a hockey game, I was chased around the streets of trenton New Jersey by a black Ford f-150. I was dropping my little brother off at my parents house, and when we pulled onto the street, I noticed a black ford with his highs flashing behind me. I tried to pull over but he wouldn't pass. I didn't cut anybody off and did'nt even notice the truck untilI pulled onto my parents street.
This bozo followed me to my parents driveway, and tried to hit me as I pulled up. I told everyone to stay in the car. The guy in the black car stopped and waited for five minutes then pulled away.
I told my brother to run in the house, and then pulled up next to my wife's car to let her out. Then I saw the same truck fly from around the corner behind me. I sped off down the street. I winded my way down my parents street at 55 (this is a residential neighborhood). I managed to get to the main road, and was doing 65 in a 35. The whole time he was trying to get on the side of me to run me off the road.
I managed to make my way to the warehouse district in trenton, where the road are very wide for the trucking. I was pushing 95-100 as this guys is still chasing me. I was turning at 55mph on the roads, which are so big it's more like a merge between businesses.
He finally stopped chasing us as we were going into the heart of trenton, because i guess he saw my wife calling the cops. I didn't want to stop because who knows what the nut was going to do?
Later on we found out that the kid is just a drunk who like to menace people from his high school-i don't know how he mistook me for a 17 year old, but who knows. He has done stuff like this before-and thankthe lord......I HAVE A NAME.
Here ya go intro

my dad was telling me today that i am a big dissapointment to my mum.. it seems the feels that all her years of rearing us are a waste of time,.
because her three kids dont go to the meetings.. she drew parralels to another family, in our hall, and said we all the same.. the other family has four kids, three of whom are/were drug dealers.. one was driven out of the country by terrorists because of it.. the other is a prick living in a giant house.
he only talks to you if hes bought.
joel,
so very true. the degree of control they are ENCOURAGED to lay down makes them warped. and when the control is gone (because they associate control with love...god is love, god controls congregation, elders control them, they control kids. they think it is a circle of love) they are bewildered by the landscape of their child's mind, and because it is foreign they immediatly assume it is evil. It like racial bigotry of the mind.
It's sad and it's the one thing that holds the JW's together. It's a real shame.

ok bobsgirl got a bunch of advice, now i'd like to hear from the women.
our anniversary (27 years)is this weekend.
i've rented a place that has beach access and a hottub (on whidbey island for those in the seattle area).
I like giving my wife a hedge-trimmer and I play a Korn song to get her in the mood.
