  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.

  don't know if this a belief or scandal.

  did you get the guy who had raised his family while serving?

  it didn't say how he or his wife became witnesses, but;;;;;; he is a doctor, was invited to be a doc for the wt, sold out his home (at loss ((i bety)), moved, but you can be sure he didn't get a room at bethel.

  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.

  i 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 in

  2. experiences

  today 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 in

  2. current

  before 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.

  Here in Bonita Springs, Florida it was in the 40's last night and in the high 60's today. Now that is really cold for us who have orange juice for blood. It is going to get colder over the next few days. Down to the 30's at night. I moved from the Pittsburgh, PA area four years ago and don't miss the cold up there.

  Nice to see you here again! Time flies too quickly! Can't believe I'm going to be 71 years old in a month. I joined this forum in 2004 when I was 57 years old. It would be nice to see other ones from the early days start visiting here again.
