The Bill of Rights was consigned to the rubbish bin by George dubya.
The only part that is being forcibly fought to be kept is the right to but a gun and shoot people.
It's like communist Russia used to be. Only without the filthy commie free health care.

when i saw this posted on andersoninfo's thread, i was wondering what i missed:.
the watchtower bible and tract society of australia, both directly and through the resources of the religion of jehovah's witnesses, then launched an unprecedented wave of non-stop vicious persecution and attacks on both myself and my family.
they have not stopped.
Go back to the threads at the time the thing exploded.
The bullying of parents. The hurried removal of Bethel Representatives from australian soil when the Borg learned the enquiry was starting. (what had they done? what were the wt trying to hide??)
Children who were to do a bible reading at the Ministry School being told they were not to do their talk. (So they could claim the elders did not deal with children in the congo) Even the fact that the bethel issued instructions that the Kingdom Hall placard should have the Ministry school times removed.
The whole thing sucked.
Oh - in case those reading JW.org didnt know: The Watchtower lawyers denied the very existence of the Faithful and Discreet Slave.

why am i closing all the threads.
i am so sorry if i dont give the right answer.
This is why I started my "How often do you find you are the last poster on a thread" thread.
It became the longest in this site's history! Until the Moderators pulled its plug - mean nazis!
In your case "pearls before swine does NOT apply!"

I have kept a very low profile for years in Witchtower Lala Land. Most of the younger dubbies dont recognise me.
I no longer attend, which means if I see them on the way to a meeting they think I am a worldling.
On meeting nights they always get on the bus or subway looking miserable. Avoid eye contact with other passengers.
In 1999, I was on holiday in France, and it was memorial night. I wasnt going I wanted to dine with my friends. A convoy of cars passed. Miserable faces peered out from the black clothed people inside. I just knew from the sour faces they were going to the reject Jesus fest.
Witlesses only really smile when they are overcome by delusional euphoria at the Kingdumb Hell.

have you ever personally experienced a bizarre or disturbing event you cannot explain?.
supernatural if you like.
my theory is that science has not explained everything.
Have you ever PERSONALLY experienced a bizarre or disturbing event you cannot explain?
Supernatural if you like. My theory is that science has not explained everything. There are things that happen we dont understand - in the past religions invented "explanations" which I think no longer explain anything.
My father got involved in Satanism latterly - he said he saw things that made him warn me off - but these are not PERSONAL. The ones I had would identify me... Sooo
Any takers?
i had just became a witness and a guy i worked with, who was also a jw, told me a story that actually made me laugh and i think it upset him a bit.
the storys were almost always in the third person.
it went as follows.. this brothers wife and him were sitting at the kingdom hall on the end seats of the row next to the back of the room.
I remember I was alone in the house. I was eighteen at the time.
I could hear the hiss of Demon breathing under my bed. Everytime I moved they breathed harder - so I just froze, praying and praying and praying for protection - and eventually went to sleep.
Next morning trembling, I looked under the bed.
My mother had put a box under the bed with things in a large polythene bag. It was the air hissing every time I moved....
Though I have had one or two wierd experiences that I find hard to explain.

what would happen if we did not have religion to give some at least inference to (at the very least) our subconscious, that there is some type of afterlife?
what would we tell kids when they ask us what happens when we die?
what would we tell kids after these shooting massacres?
Blondie - I love that comment.
Agree a code beforehand.
I no longer fear death, it is not presided over by Satan or jehovah. for eternal torment to exist you need to prove the existence of extracorporeal sadistic deities...

do they go out in door to bore misery.
lets face it - the witless mating guide is just a checklist of behaviors that makes a potential mate.. how do you let go from this??.
sorry - have met so and am already going through this compatibility crap.
You know how it is:

How do you let go from this??
Sorry - have met SO and am already going through this compatibility crap. How often have I said "take it as it comes" to other posters.
We have been out once and I am already fretting the bloody checklist. legacy of a JW past I suppose...
Why are witless relationships sooo effed up despite ourselves.
HB
can someone point me to a searchable pdf version of this?.
This book, made the PREDICTION that he Great Tribulation "upon Christendom" would start before the end of the 20th century (about p.235 A left hand page in the book)
Deuteronomy 18 anybody??

walking down memory lane today and recalled a convo with my ex about noah's ark.
(i made all the rookie mistakes when talking to my ex about jw stuff -sigh.
) i think i said something like 'if you believe in noah's ark take the cat and a mouse from the backyard for a drive around the block and let me know how it goes.
This thread needs an "Oh Dear"
OH, DEAR
