Good catch! I would guess that whoever wrote that never became a post-1931 dub and left, or if it were Russell be long dead. Well, I jumped out, I like it. But you put in "..." (tm Watchtower) so what was in the middle there?

Why do some here refer to themselves as "Apostates"?
by Netty inthe only real definition of apostate i ever had was from being raised a witness.
so, i have this idea that it is an evil, wicked thing.
because of that i dont like to call myself an apostate.

I think of it the same way some black folk refer to themselves using the N-word. It's self-deprecating and a bit in-your-face. I must admit, in the early "out" days, the term bothered me. I suppose I should be a bit more sensitive about the term, but I like it.

Do You Think That Brooklyn Is Concerned About Apostafests?
by Englishman inlooking through some of the society's earlier wt's, it does seems as though they tend to see apostates as lonely and isolated people.
i can only find one reference to organised apostates in the wt.. so i wonder how they feel about the recent plethora of fests that are taking place?.
it's certainly having a nullifying effect on the enforced isolation that they like to see resulting from disfellowshipping.

Engo, when I was Borg I recall talking to an elder over the WTS' concern that the "apostates were getting organized" - this was about '95. The discussion was over magazines that resembled the WT. The one comic relief was that "the apostates couldn't agree on where and when to meet and what their teachings would be". Now, thinking back, I can only assume that was conjecture. In my part of Oregon we have a fellow named John Warren from Witness Inc. NW who had sent out mailers (with a sticker for householders to put on their doors "No Visits by Jehovah's Witnesses Please"). The funny thing is that in about 6 months they fell off the doors. Later, on leaving, I went to see John, a very nice man, and I told him this. He chuckled and said we'll use stronger glue next time. Glen

How many of us posters ULC "ministers"?
by Glenmore ini found out recently that both valis and avishai are fellow universal life church people.
maybe we should form a tax-exempt corporation and legally-swindle money from the government like our alma mater (da borg) does?

When I read the title of this thread, I thought "Oh, that's great, a suprise but any humanity from the WTS is a great step forward". Oh well.

So then, here's a question...about "meditation"
by onacruse inrecent threads have got me to thinking about this.. i've never "meditated," insofar as i've always understood the term.. i always avoided even trying to "meditate," (and still have a reluctance even to consider doing so) because the wts not-so-obliquely suggested that "meditation" was parmount to 'opening your mind to demons.
' even though i've totally trashed the wts mumbo-jumbo, i still find in my soul a reluctance to embark on such a journey.. kate gave me a different perspective last night.. so, your comments, and especially, your experiences?.
craig.

I have been on this "course" for about a year. So, Craig, when we have an ApostoCada fest take a look at some of the meditiation exercises, they are very straightforward, interesting etc. Glen

Satanus, I'm a natural pantheist, so in my book everyone goes to "heaven" whatever that is.
Here's our group of ULC "ordained ministers" so far, by JWD handle :
Avishai - California
ColdRedRain - Minnesotta
Elsewhere - Texas
FreePeace - Florida
Glenmore (aka Deleted) - Oregon
Gumby - California
Nathan Natas - (Afghanistan?)
Qwerty - South Yorkshire, England
Robdar - Missouri
Think41Self - Florida
Valis - Texas
So that makes us the 11 Apostateles! And thanks to Qwerty (and maybe Nathan Natas) we are an International Organization.
And we probably all believe something quite different - isn't that great, Individualism!
I'll email Brother Daniel at the ULC Monastery and see if we can find out if there's more of us. Seriously we could create a ULC XJW chapter - we could have a good laugh over that. (In Estacada Natural Pantheism humor is a serious matter)
Avi, it looks like you are our senior member, how many weddings have you officiated?
