the pictorial essay sounds good. There is a ex-pioneer porn star out there allready (so I'm told)!
i would like to use my web space as an ex-jw site.
i don't want to run a message board, or duplicate what other sites already do.
i'm asking - what would you find usefull or think would help others most.

recently a survey was conducted by the u.n. worldwide.. the question asked was, "would you please give your opinion about the food.
shortage in the rest of the world?".
the survey was a huge failure.. in africa they did not know what 'food' meant.. in western europe, they did not know what 'shortage' meant.. in eastern europe they did not know what 'opinion' meant.. in south america they did not know what 'please' meant.. and in the u.s. they did not know what 'the rest of the world' meant.

perhaps some here would like to expound on why it is ok for witness kids to watch the classic film "wizard of oz" but harry potter is out?.
aren't the two the same thing?
a fantasy about another realm?
how many here were married as jw's to jw's??
if so, what was your main purpose in getting married to this person?
i ask this because, i married my dh so that i could get to know him.
Here in the UK, most JW marriages take place in a "registry office" as opposed to a kingdom hall. The reason? Couples are now asked a series of intimate and detailed questions about their conduct throughout the relationship, down to whether the brother has touched her breasts, etc.
I was disfellowshipped 2 years after marriage for pre-marital mis-conduct. I subsequently had two witnesses tell me that they had engaged in certain activity prior to being married and were still good standing JWs (unlike me - thrown out).
This prompted one of them to go to the elders (in a seperate congragation to mine) and the elder told her not to worry and "this happens to everyone".

it is official in usa.
the announcement was made at the service meeting.. letter read due to cost of postage...once your subsription expires it will not be renewed.
Did you know that the witnesses believe the Watchtower is symbolised in the revelations as their weapon of warfare?
I think for this reason, they have been willing for years to print as many millions as possible and throw them at the public like throwing mud at a wall, hoping some will stick.
I expect that this decision was made by the new body which looks after the financial matters of the org and not by the GB who (for the biblical reason) would probably not be so objective when looking at balance sheets.
One has to look at this decision in the same light as the decision to cut pioneer hours: it is purely statistical analysis that the number of magazines published and the number of hours spent in witnessing is extrememly (EXTREMELY - LOOK AT THE FIGURES) in-efficient.
The watchtower has to tighten it's belt, buckle up, streamline, get ready for the long haul, not presume it will come tomorrow. Only accountants could come up with this strategy, for if the GB suggested this action, they would not be "putting their trust in Jehovah".
sounds fishy to me....... maids brief bid to control boss.
kuantan: an indonesian maid here allegedly boiled soup soaked with her underwear and served it to her employer.
unknown to her, her bizarre culinary work was recorded by a closed-circuit television camera installed by her employer, a businessman, in his jalan beserah house.
