I don't follow that particular path- I suppose the closest thing I can call myself is a Chaos Magician in the early stages. But anyway, White Magick is like negentropy, keeping stasis and purifying things. Oh, and don't believe the crap you see on TV. If it was true I'd be some evil woman bent on taking over the world only to be vanquished by a handy potion. Damn Charmed. Makes us Left-Handers look horrible.

The first thing out of a JW's mouth
by Nosferatu in.
although i like to keep the afterlife unknown..... what do you think the first thing out of a jw's mouth would be when they discover they went to heaven (or hell) instead of paradise erf?

Do You Still Think & Act Like A Witness??
by minimus inone of the criticisms i see on this board, especially if one points out a similarity between jws and jwd or other similar discussion boards, is that a person is still seeing things in the eye of a jehovah's witness.
what's your take on that?
?

I still enjoy having that satisfaction of having "answers" for everything. And in my head, when certain issues come I I find myself slipping back into "Auto Mode"- you know, hacking up a rote answer like a furball.

Hi
by Logicandreason ini am not a former jw, but my mother has been one for years and as you all know, that affected me as well.
i was raised catholic in a nice part of queens ny, and for the most part i never had a problem with my faith.
when i turned ten or so, my mother became entrenched in the jehova witnesses, and has not looked back since.

I cannot come, being that I'm in another country and all, but I am very interested in this whole media coverage. The All Day News Channel? Does that come in on satillite? If so I'll find it and record. Though I cannot be there in flesh, I will be there in spirit.

I just finished Crisis of Conscience...
by Badger inthanks to ray franz for writing it.
parts of the book have been talked about on the board before, but holy $#!+...seeing page upon page of evidence kept my jaw in a constant drop.... a few thoughts.... >franz seems to have little malice for the org, and it shows in the book.. >i looked at it with a very skeptical eye (as i do everything) and tried to see it from the perspective of a witness who sincerely believed.
i was still floored by the callousness of the comments of these people.. > control really does seem to be the watchword for these folks, and they've trained the rank and file well.

Ah, good for you. If anything will make you do a full 180 away from the Watchtower walls, that would be it! It's a very good read, very thoughtful, but merciless- Mr. Franz pulls no punches.

Hi everybody! ^^
by Epsilon ini must say that i have been lurking around this place for a good long while.
to know that you are not alone in your quest to escape the watchtower is one of the best ways to actually do it.. right now i'm 18, but became an unbaptized publisher at 12. i blew those elders away with my skill at parroting back the wts doctrine, and for a while, i was faithful enough in service, which i didn't really enjoy, but i had to do it to live, right?
we went to meetings regularly, even thosugh i simply dreaded the boredom and the inevitable guilt i would feel.

Actually, she has studyed before in the Knowledge book and some other book I can't remember, and now I think she's doing United in Worship. I'm just hopin she doesn't go all gung-ho. And what about if and when she gets baptized? Since she has an unbeliever, no, worse, a *gasp* apostate daughter, wouldn't she be required to kick me put since I'm 18? I read that somewhere in some old article. Just goes to show ya.

Saturday morning house to house not good enought anymore!
by XQsThaiPoes injust came from the assembly.
they critisized us for going house to house implying that it was cheating the system and just a way to get fs hours with out talking to people.
now they want jws to do mostly bus and business witnesses in the afternoon during weekdays.

Different languages? No house to house? If the WTS told all their loyal drones to begin the next crusade, well, I think that insinuating themselves into places where we can't hide from them would be a rather good start, lol.

Why no going out to lunch at convention??
by Pistoff ini asked the wife today, at the district, what the reasoning was for asking the rank and file to stay in for lunch, and not purchase the lunch elsewhere.
she stated that the reason was that some venues want the witnesses to purchase lunch from their concessions.
anyone else heard this??

I dunno the "official" reason, but we used to go to the Cow Palace in San Francisco. If I could have left that long, boring ass convention I would have taken SF any day.
