this is a new thread on the same subjects as ldh's.
i am having a hard time myself these days.
my self esteem is zero.
Yes JB
you are a good person. You have a very good
wirting style and I do love your humor.
I always check for your posts as your perspective
is enlightening. I need to take a moment a check
out you web site. Esp. the nude part.
There several nude beaches in FL and I have been
several times. What a hoot for sure.
I will be thinking of you my dear good funny buddy.

a letter to the editor of local paper, april 24, 01 (vancouver, bc).
thought you might enjoy.
i am writing this to inform the people of chilliwack of a plague that seems to affect well-groomed, articulate individuals living in our fair city.. many months ago we posted a sign on our front door that says "no soliciting' due to the fact that the sanctity of our home was constantly being invaded by individuals seeking to save us, sell us something or wanting money or some kind of donation.
The City Police met with our elduhs and
after that No S signs were off limits!
For some striptural reason this was OK.
Certinly OK with this boy.

Hi Slip,
What changed?
The speed of change today in every field, business,
religious order, technology is accelerating at an
every increasing pace. We all see it, and complain
about it, every day. Same with the moribund Org.
The "pressure" to save peeps lives just prior to 1975,
again the 1980's, 1990's and of course 2000 is GONE.
I truly felt almost compelled to "tresspass" to deliver
this most important (LOL) life saving message. Today
I do not even participate in the FS. All this is reflected
in the stats which imvho will continue an ever increasing
DECLINE.
We live in a time of unpresidented, wealth, peace and
security (remember that one?). Unlimited educational
opportunities are now, or soon will be, available to almost
the entire world's population. The old message is no
longer relevant. The org will just devolve into a smaller
and smaller group with the fanatical as the "last stand".
the next few years should see much a change and posturing
as the masses just don't care and want to participate in
Life, esp as it has never been as promising as it is today.
love to all and watch the fun begin,

Good Morning JellyRoll,
<Many of the new members were people
that come from the edge of society like prisoners, mentally ill, and the slightly retarded. I
think as human society evolves and the org. stays the same the ratio of impaired
witnesses to relatively normal witnesses is going to continue to increase.>
"watchyasayinwillis? you b saying battboy is impared. lol (i do worry about myself). Actually
i always thought that your observation was true as to current members but
your thought on the increasing ratio makes total sense. tooooo funny, also sad.
< but really I don’t see how the organization could be run any worse>
Yikes, does that mean it can only get better???? lol

hi JT<
thanks for your comments.
<and they can't change thier track record>
keep your old literature everybody as we
know they are trying to erase and rewrite
"history".
Ask Tricky Dick Nixon or Slick Willie Clinton,
the coverup is usually worse than the crime.
Be a man, just say:
"Dad, i chopped the tree down and i am very repentful."
"Please forgive me."

hi mox,
<well, i dont think any of these are game-breakers,
just steady trends. the WT will continue to post
steady numbers for a long time to come...>
i think they will too, but only in new territories.
Their steady numbers in 1st world countries will also be
steady, downwards that is. The org. will be have to be
making some signicant changes to retain current
and attract new converts. I b thinking they new
a new leader like an Lee Iacocoa or maybe Colin
Powell. They are in super Catch-22 land and they
could maybe hire Billy "Preacher Boy" Clinton.
< i dont think any of these are game-breakers, >
Very true as with their cash flow, cash reserves,
zero debt, free labor and tax exempt status they
could be around as long as it takes for the A Day
to arrive, maybe forever. lol
As Jesus said "the poor will always be with us".
so will people willing the "follow" and esp. those who
like the power trip of being an elduh.
I always enjoy your posts, thanks

Nic,
Three points for you my man, nothing but net.

you know, the jews were a warlike people.
the god they worshipped was entirely different than the loving father revealed by jesus.. hasn't it occured to anyone that when this god of love states that evil will be destroyed, that you will look for it but it will be gone, that what is meant is that the love of god has erased all traces of evil from the person practicing it?
you've known people like this; people who were at one time evil and who have rid themselves of it.
Jez,
i agree with you, but just beast like enough to come back
later in the day after the java kicks in.
Fran,
see above, but will be back cuz i really do have a an idea
of what you speak. just need some time esp after last nite, hic. :)

Hi ya met,
Also impotent due to "impotency" of modern man. lol
Peeps today are not even marrying as often, have less
offspring than before, delaying having children. And wanting
them to get an education.
As those dear ol stats show, the growth comes from within, NOT
the d2d mission.
In a few short years the majority of the world will have access
to the greatest equalizer in man's history, the internet. When
information flows across all borders, barriers, cultures and is
available instantly and nearly free to all, the future will bring
unprecedented change that will be the downfall of rigid dogmatic
tradition bound institutions be they commercial, educational,
governmental or religious. The world's population is going to
become empowered beyond what we could have imagined even
just a few years ago. We are priveledged to see it taking place
for so many minorities and the wonderful results that accrue.
just a few of my pet ramblings
battman of the future class (i hope)
just suppose that jw's had got it right about 1975, and that we are now in the 26th year of the 1000 year reign.. so, how are we spending our time?.
i guess that we're not watching boxing on the telly.
probably not enjoying any barbecues with the meat eating ban.
Golf, golf, golf, golf and maybe some more golf.
If I will be working towards perfection will my
"handicap" improve? Will I continue to improve?
Will I always have a handicap? Just how perfect
will my swing become. Will I get a hole in one every
time? that would make my total score 18.
Will i have to rake the sand when i leave the bunker?
of course, i should not even be there if I am perfect.
In that case I can skip the "mulligan", the "gimme" and
the "foot wedge" but never the 19th hole.
i can hardly wait
