Caleb's Airplane

by Calebs Airplane in

hello caleb fans.... my name is ole yella... i am a distinctive yellow airplane based on a wwii dive-bomber and i happen to be one of calebs favorite toys.

his parents dont know this yet, but in my former life, i was used quite extensively as a special pioneer throughout europe where massive bombing of airfields and military installations was required.

i am also proud to say that i have caused the deaths of thousands upon thousands of innocent women and children in the late 1930s and early 1940s in various other theatres of operation (isaiah 18:6; luke 21:25).

to my knowledge: since magic is not real............ it has not caused any deaths!

jehovahs witness policy on blood, molestation, education--> DOES!

Interesting conversation re: sexual abuse issue

by Doubting Bro in

i may be outing myself so i'm changing some minor detail but i wanted to relate a recent conversation over the sexual abuse issue.

i was at a party, er, gathering this weekend and there were several folks that i haven't talked to in awhile there.

so, i sat down at a table with several other guys and the conversation went like this:.

Band on the run:

I am not 100% sure about the payphone.............. but I am 100% sure that they are not to use ANY line where there are more phones connected to it, and they are not for any circumstance supposed to use wireless phones (uniden home type)

Was the Verdict of the Candace Conti lawsuit a Win-Win for the WTS?

by rip van winkle in

why did the wts not try to settle this lawsuit before going to trial as they had so many times previously?

was it presumptiousness on the part of the society's lawyers and gb?

had this been settled it would have hardly caused a whimper.. it got me to thinking that although the verdict of $28 million is unheard of, it may actually further the wts to make their claims that they are the only true religion.. reason being- if the monetary award is overturned then they will say it was jehovahs will.

DaCheech

how can the society say with a straight face that their tribulation has come at the hands of the devil --> when they claim revelation prophecy says that babylon the great has this privilege first?

The Smoking Gun in the Conti Case!

by Diest in

i think this thread got lost in the shuffle, so i wanted to make another one.

these are some of the key pages from the deposition of the lead elder, michael lee clarke.

clarke admits he gets his marching orders from the wts.

who wants to be an elder?????? get on line for getting sued and getting the blame!

WATCHTOWER (Madoff) with your investment

by Terry in

if i were convincing you to invest your life savings in a guranteed investment based on "insider" information that made the payoff a sure thing.

and you acted to seize the opportunity---nobody would blame you for taking the plunge.. if i assured you....reassured you....repeatedly that the payoff and reward was "any day now" you might well hang in there for a long time.. .

but, at a certain point, your patience and trust would wear thin and a serious request for proof of legitimacy would hang heavy in the air.. .

DaCheech

My mind hazily remembers an article in the mid 80's, but could be wrong.

These people on the top do not necessarily have to be known (for goodness sake if they own it in paper, they don't have to be witlesses either)

Dear Caleb - Jehovah is not sad

by jgnat in

i watched the children's video.

pretty slick.

do jehovah's will or else your parents and god will be very, very sad.

DaCheech

my kids love magic and dragons. I knew what the video would do.

I prepped them up alogn with wifey, and showed them from youtube. My wife was embarassed and played it off!

Anyway, children are smarter than you think, at last weeks meeting they wispered in my ear: "Daddy, are they telling me that I think with my heart instead of the brain"? I said: "don't believe everything you hear, listen to teachers and daddy"!

they are gonna screw themselves.............. the ones that stay are gonna be the socially deprived and stunted! not really a good witness for God?

I visited relatives who are non JW and they see I have made a positive change since leaving the Borg:)

by andys in

i am over here in south dakota on vacation, the last time i saw all my relatives was during my grandmothers funeral which was about 2 years ago, during that time i was still in the borg, yesterday i was visiting all my non jw relatives and they were all shocked that i have changed in a positive way and they all know that i have left the borg, my aunt told me i am alot more happier and have alot more self confidence, i still have family members in the borg my 2 brothers and sister and parents who all shun me on a certain level and also i told all my relatives what i have gone through after leaving, i told them about the shunning, during christmas i called my dad and i was told that i am not allowed over at their house and my dad hung up the phone and didn't even say goodbye also at the time my roommate was listening to the conversation since i had my speakerphone on and she was very shocked about the shunning.. i want to say thankyou to all the people who have helped me mentally out of the borg, all the youtube videos that people have made, plus jwn, if it was not for the internet i would have still been in the borg, i have to say the internet is one of the most greatest thats how i did all my research and totally clearing out my mind, also now i have some new skills, i have learned how to do critical thinking, plus also have learned so much more about the world around me, because i slightly suffer from a form of autism i have been able to work at that more and now understand so much more about people around me and also have made alot of new friends:).

DaCheech

hang in there, I'm sure the day will come that you have a family reunion: and your witless family will show what the borg is all about.

In that day rejoice for shunning will be the muddy light the witlesses shine!
