  Let's all show up at the Memorial - and gasp - Partake!

  by AK - Jeff in

  here is a plan to throw the entire organization into chaos.

  many of the 'apostates' here believe in the ransom of jesus - and the command to partake of the 'communion' of the lords evening meal, right?

  i have come to accept that that 'memorial' is simply a recognition of jesus' sacrifice.

  It doesn't matter whether you're "in" or not, they still control you.

  Anyone with family still in will always have the damn borg in the back of their mind, even if they are not acting in a co-dependent manner.

  I love the "hit 'em where it hurts -- in the numbers!" approach, though! Bravo!

  This sounds alot like Abbie Hoffman and the Yippies guerrilla monkey warfare. Once upon a time, the Yippies tooks loads of US one dollar bills into the NYSE, and at a pre-determined time co-ordinate commenced to toss out the currency from the mezzanine. Rather than concentrate on business at hand, the buyers, runners and anyone else in the pit were near riot as they scrambled to recover this free falling cash. Cash value:hundreds or thousands. Hilarity and memories:Priceless.

  Sometimes a stupid, childish gesture points out an even bigger stupid childish situation.

  in a recent thread someone said that bagpuss was a good name but didn't know what it meant.. bagpuss was a character from a childrens programme in the 1970s and is becoming popular again now.

  i chose this name as like bagpuss i am soft,cuddlyand loyal, but will get the claws out when needed.. why did you choose your 'alias' and what does it tell me about you?

  I'm a do it yourselfer. None of the therapists I have been to have been able to really help me with my suicidal depression. I was seriously considering ECT as a last resort...that or sucking the tailpipe of my bike. It was a live or die situation. I wondered if the JW thingy was the problem (husband from rabid family, both of us un dunked pushers, inactive for 8 years). Got the guts to look at internet, and found out it was!!!! This knowlege has saved my life, my depression was not bio-chem, was situational, and somewhat kindled. We have moved 600 miles from home, so the situation is gone! So is the fear (armageddon, shunning, etc). Also, the resentment is gone! Those witlesses love to foster resentments!

  I have spent the last 4 years pretty much alone with infants, (husband travels) so writing my thoughts is an out of shape skill.

  I did it myself, and will share the cake (knowlege and a loving life) I've baked with those I love and care about.

  for my inlaws - yer damn right I'm a Jezebel! and my man is damn glad!

  If the information on every sex offender were made public, would it prevent them from stiking again?

  IMHO if sex offenders were executed after the first conviction, they would not be likely to re-offend. I can't find a study that can guarantee any success in 'curing' sex offenders. It is too ingrained in their behavior/personality/biochemistry? to change. Something in them is missing. I look at them the same as a rabid animal, and the best argument for capitol punishment.

  Could WBTS be forced to pay tax in America?

  in another thread link said: .

  i am not well versed in u.s. tax laws but it is my understanding that even in the u.s.anyone making loans on which interest is charged is considered to be operating a taxable business.

  in the u.k. the societies loans are interest free but they take control of the building once the loan has been completely repaid.

  I knew something was up two years ago after I got back from Bonnaroo Music Fest in TN. I had faded by then, and was remembering who I was (Happy Hippie Chick). Anyway, it was a 3 day weekend of music, and all the fun a human should be allowed to have. There were 83,000 people there, and no fights, no arrests. Except outside the gate, due to Liquor and no tickets.

  Anyway, on Sunday there were fundy preachers at the cross-roads with their hateful signs - Elvis, Jerry (garcia) and Janis are all in HELL! What a message of comfort! I noticed people passed them like the red sea parting. I got to wondering, here is a ready made audience for the live forever on a clean and peaceful earth.

  When I returned home, it had leaked to the family that I attended this event. I did tell them bout the crowd, and all these peaceful people...surely the society would send missionaries to the hippies (a la Paul - to the hippies I became as a hippie!) The reaction from the family (3 elders and wives) was less than enthusiastic. In fact, I was asked not to bring it up again.

  After a little thinking, I realized it is because hippies (or anyone on the fringe) have NO A$$ET$!

  The Day Jehovah's Witnesses in Riverside California Blinked

  the day jehovah's witnesses in riverside california blinked

  on fairly short notice silentlambs sent out an advisory to the public that jehovah's witnesses were once again going to court to speak as character witnesses for a convicted pedophile.

  earlier in the week on monday a large group of jehovah's witnesses had made known their intention to come to court as they had for the last two years to publicly support and offer character statements for a man convicted on several counts of molesting his daughters.

  One of the unwritten I have found is if you ride a motorcycle, make sure you are not a woman, and the bike is not a Harley. Do not wear protective gear (leather). Because it looks 'hoodlum' like. Brand X with shorts and tennys are OK, Jehooba take care of the road rash or exhaust burn.

  If your Elders are of the Executive Class in real life, you are strongly urged to quit your union job with great benefits because it involves travel. Some thing like lawn mowing or roofing would be more appropriate to take care of your families spiritual needs. (is funny, because this pronouncement was issued by Older Brother Elder, who eventually left his good stay at home wife for a lady he met at his secular job.)

  If you come from a dynasty of elders (kings and princes) the yoke is lighter. You get reinstated real easy. Older Brother Elder above was not disfellowshipped for long, and Younger Brother Elder is very uncomfortable around poor old Sister Left-Over.

  I can't stand the smell of Mandacity!
