I heard a Sly And The Family Stone song a little while ago and out of curiosity, looked up Larry Graham....the innovator of the slappin and plunkin bass. He became a JW about 1975 and was the influence for Prince becoming a JW. On his official web page is the list of his tour dates this year. He is going to be in quite a lot of cities and overseas too. So I was just wondering how "faithful" he is these days. I had heard that he was an elder at one time, but he is spending a lot of time away from being controlled by the religion. Hmmmm....could he be one of the PIMO's (Permanently In Mentally Out)
If he has woken up, I wish him the best.

Hang in there Zeb. I have been through much of the same mental anguish as you. Those are the same things that turned me off years before I finally had the last straw.

Does anyone know where the Schiller family lived prior to selling their souls to the WT? I remember back in the late 1970's that there was a Dr. in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area (where I used to live) who went to Bethel.

I wonder what is in the water they are drinking? Next thing you know, they will make a video on how to wipe your ass with two little squares of toilet paper like the attendants would hand out to those going into the restrooms at the conventions in the 1980's.

My 71st Birthday Confessional
by TerryWalstrom ini was born january 15, 1947in mt.
carmel hospital, detroit, michigan.. within six months of my birth, my mother would bundle her baby boy into a blanket and board an american airlines propeller-driven plane--in effect, leaving my father behind--to return to her hometown, ft. worth, texas.. my dad had an excellent job working for cadillac as an inspector.
it was a union job.

Cart Witnesses vs Faith Healing Church
by pale.emperor intoday in liverpool the cart witnesses were in their usual speck in bold street holding out their wafer thin rags and books that they literally can't even give away.
but today the city centre was flooded with some sort of black church handing out their leaflets and little invitations to a "special event" this sunday.
i took a leaflet off them as they handed it to me and they were very smiley and cheerful.

Going back to my borg days, I always dreaded having a bible knowing "Christian" answer the door. When they would talk their talk, I knew deep inside that they were right. My thinking was "why can't we talk about Jesus the way they do?" I guess I was developing doubts about the "truth" even before I knew I had doubts.

Chemtrails, Seeing is believing.
by pedal power inbefore i begin, i want you to know i understand the difference between chemtrails and contrails, so lets leave those discussions behind, chemtrails exist.. what is the purpose of chemtrails ?
if it was to artificially create clouds, why come to edinburgh ?
for any of you who are unaware, 90% of the time its cloudy and rainy, so creating cloud cover, is a joke.
