For any who saw my "Who is Jehovah" comment. I was purposely being controversial to stimulate some feedback from the person who started that thread. For me there is the Almighty Creator whose name in Hebrew is YHWH. Then there is this "Jehovah", the corporate god of the Watchtower. I wanted to see if this person was able to make that distinction also. Catch my drift now?

Special Dub Words That Make You Go YUK!
by Englishman infor me, the word was "loving".. great "loving" kindness.. great undeserved "loving" kindness!.
disfellowshipping is a "loving" provision.. when the wtbts want their accolytes to swallow another bitter pill, another restriction, another rebuke, another demand on time, the buzz word is "loving".. the "loving" word, is, to the average jw, the same as the mccabe nod is to the salesman.
the mccabe nod is used by salesman all the time to get the prospective customer to agree to something that he doesn't care for too much.

Mmm...college
by mikepence inthanks to the supportive words and encouragement of many here, i am now officially a student at arizona state university.. i just went to campus, and got a hard copy of the general catalog at the book store, and i went to the computer lab to setup my access.
just seeing the young and old, people of all sorts of ethnic backgrounds, milling around campus, all engaged in the wonder of learning, made me take pause and think about how silly the jw prohibition on college is, and how completely a learning environment can shatter the witness world view.
part of me wanted to cry, and another part of me was intrigued by the hot young college chicks...heh.. it is wonderful to be able to make choices for oneself.. any recommendations for my first course?

Hey Mike,
I didn't know you had that in the works. Sounds good!
I know you'll do well too. I'd like to go back again one day, we'll have to talk about how you find the time.
Peace,

Question about JWs and Higher Education (part 2)
by AjaxMan inhey all!.
a couple of days ago, i posted a thread about jws and higher education.
that question was regarding jws who finished high school.. now, my question is this for both jws and xjws alike: are there any jws who before converting did have a college education (4 year bachelors, master or phd) that you know or met?.

Ajax,
Higher education is just like everything else someone might do pre-witness - dating, drugs, premarital sex, sports..the list goes on. growing up in the borg puts you at an economic/social disadvantage if you have parents that follow it fanatically.
just my 2 cents.

Here's my rant:
Absolutely, the GB are cowardly, sniveling, little dickless Bastards! The local elders reflect their leadership perfectly too! I would spit on the GB right now if I could. Hey, feel a road trip to Brooklyn coming on? I think it was only Franz (Ray) who actually realized the full scope his influence as a GB member would have on the average R & F. I think because he actually had a lot of living in the "real" world under his belt before even going to Bethel. If you read about the rest of the GB's life stories, most of them started at Bethel while in their teens or early twenties. They are completely, self-anointed, self-important, self-centered, self-absorbed.
They make me sick, they KNOW what they are doing (the cover ups prove it). I HATE everything they stand for.. want a good laugh, look again at their photos in the Proclaimers book..you'll want to puke when you see their smug little faces staring back at you off the page.
Later, thanks for reading.

Legal Insurance
by DazedAndConfused ini think that at this point it may imperitive that many on this message board thinks about having legal insurance.
we all have so many things to make us angry, and possibly things that are things that could be taken up in court.
whether it be a suit due to our own situation or even to think about a class action suit..........it is something that each and everyone of us might consider.

DIM & Ashi,
I recall that DIM recently shared with me a comment he heard in a talk at the last Circuit Assembly. Something to the effect of, "Brothers, ..Satan LIVES on the Internet..."
So I think we are already seeing the scare tactics being officially implemented. -
