Interesting condition, Jeff. I'll say no, because if you had a time machine you could come to late 2004 and stop by Barnes & Noble on your way to infinity.

"I suppose not," he answers. "Only, which three books would you have taken?"
Well?

Do "Born-Again Christians" lie on JW's to put them in a bad light?
by booker-t ini was reading a book on early church fathers and early christian doctrines.
i could not put the book down.
i noticed that some of the early church fathers "denounced" war frowned upon celebrating holidays and also "birthdays" some of their arguments sounded exactly like jw's and if you did not know you would have thought you were talking to some jw's.

Reading so many lies about JWs made me sick before and after I left. Before, because somebody was spreading falsehood about my religion, and after because diluting so many vaild criticisms with the "lies and half-truths" the WTS warns people about destroys the credibility of real arguments. An article in Time or Newsweek entitled "Worse than Waco" (referrring to the Branch Davidians) written by a former witness taught that Witnesses believe the "lake that burns with fire an sulphur" of Revelation was a literal place of torment akin to hell. My ex-fiancee's nut-job Baptist sister insisted JWs remove the Song of Solomon from their Bibles for being to sexual. Another hang-up she had was constantly talking about "salvation-through-works" this and "salvation-through-works" that. That's more of a doctrinal thing, of course. Let's not forget that Kevin Costner flick with the little JW boy whose religion forbade him to eat cotton candy because it was candy.

How the F did they find out you cybered with a worldly girl, CRR?
I was counseld for having sideburns a 1/2" too long, because, as the elder pointed out, I was copying Elvis Presley. It was 1997. Elvis died before I was born. This one took me by surprise.
Shortly before I grew a goatee. THE 7 YEAR OLD KID OF THE VISITING SPEAKER ratted on me to his dad when I was handling mics! I knew I had that one coming.
I was counseled for bringing my worldly girlfriend to meeting with me. Eventually she was baptized, despite how they treated her. But, expected it.
Months & months later, an elder's wide saw us sitting "alone" together in a crowd of about 4,000 at the Romeoville Assembly Hall. She wouldn't relent until we sat with her family. Had my (now ex)girlfriend in tears, but that little qhore always was a bit of a crybaby. Took me by surprise.
