i'm sorry to aggrivate you about my life choices all of the time.
you guys just always give the best advice.
you understand and don't look down on me for being a little behind in my career due to being a jw until i was 23.. so i'm like the rest of you with a high school diploma only because of that stupid religion.
I sold real estate for a year. I did well, but as I worked I looked around the office and seeing people who had been doing it for 20 years working just as hard as I was to make a go of it. On call 24/7 wasn't for me so I gave it up. Prepare to give up your life if that's they way you're going to go.

i have only heard about one kh being blown up, and that was from wt.
there are so many pissed off ex-dubs, i am surprised that many dubs have not been offed by now.
it does not take a lot of imagination to do this...................oompa
Could have to do with the fact that the JW's aren't as persecuted as much as they would like to think they are. Around here there was a KH burnt down, but that's the only first-hand knowledge I have of anti-JW terrorism. At least it was the physical property of the JW's damaged, not people.

please read this post!.
the ireland case is a big loss for the watchtower society.. it's a big win for ex-jws.
i read the very, very , very long irish high court's opinion.
Can this information be used for the Canadian Supreme court case at the end of the month? Would the judge's opinion, especially on the issue of coersion make a diference?

so 2 weeks ago i went to my 2 day ca.. this had lots of interesting tid-bits, like the wt summary of the generation change.
the conductor said that if we were listeing to jesus speak we would have known he was speaking about us!
then he followed with "and thats probably what they understood too" - i couldnt believe he actually said probably.. anyway, at the end of sunday the do came about and went into a bit about all the things the org has done for us.
I heard the same thing from a friend who went to the CA, but then I think it may have been the same one you went to (judging by your location). I heard they also said people who had doubts were stupid for having them.

proclaimers book by request!
request from researcher: could you re-up the proclaimer's book?
i'm currently 'studying' with an elder's wife and while i own the book an electronic copy such as the one you pointed out in february would be absolutely wonderful!
Wow! Good job!

what kind of a relationship are we suppose to have with jesus christ?
Hey Kwin! Thats not funny
Sorry, but it's the truth. He'd be a better second baseman if he didn't reenergize the other team's players every time he tags them out as they're sliding into second. At least with him being in the outfield he's on his own.

what kind of a relationship are we suppose to have with jesus christ?
first of all he does not listen to sinners
But isn't everyone sinners?

i remember about twenty years ago some teenagers were caught fornicating in one of the additional schools.
the schools were downstairs, essentially separated from the rest of the kh.
they weren't just happened upon, though.
First one I recall was in 1988 in Hamilton, ON and just before the meeting was about to start there was an announcement, "Anyone who has their car parked on the right side of the parking lot, please move it. The house next door is on fire and the firetrucks need to get access." So, of course everyone runs outside to see the house on fire. This was especially hard because the person who lived in the house was a JW who donated or sold (whatever) the land to the congregation. As I recall he was taken to the hospital with smoke inhilation and his non-JW son who I had heard was rumoured to have started the fire had major burns on his hands and arms. He showed up at the meeting a couple Sunday's later with bandages all over his hands and then we never saw him again. The meeting started a bit late that night (needless-to-say).
Another time, my brother puked during the CO's talk in a full hall. Of course we were sitting right at the front and it was ALL over the place.
At an assembly in Dartmouth, NS, one of the local apostates (crazy, crazy man even the non-JW's would kick them out of their places) walked across the ice level of the arena wearing a Burger King crown yelling, "I'm your king! Worship me!"

penis theft panic hits city...thu apr 24, 2008 9:47am edtby joe bavier.
kinshasa (reuters) - police in congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.. reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in west africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.. rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in kinshasa, democratic republic of congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants.
Hmm ... sounds like someone taking advantage of a situation to explain their own shortcummings.
