last year on may 18th i officially stopped attending jw meetings, i first told my wife and then i wrote a brief letter stating that i was resigning as a ms. over that time period i've had some doubts about whether or not i was doing the right thing, but basically i feel that i've made the correct decision.
unfortunately i can't say that i've become more spiritual during these past few months, however i do feel more and more strongly that there are many things in the bible that may be erroneous.
i'm not at the point of being an atheist, but i do feel that i'm ignorant of god's purpose for humans.
What's up Leander.......
Just dealing with the slave-class part.......there is NO slave class. THE WTBS have taken ONE scripture where it makes mention of a Faithful & Discreet Slave Class and turned it into their MOST EFFECTIVE marketing tool. There really isn't a basis for it. If there was.....it would be mentioned more than the ONE time it is brought up in the bible.....................
Keep pluggin' away bro'............good luck.
i wondered if simon or some of you other 'techies' out there might be interested to know that the society's main domain reaches it's two year expiry on thursday 15th march.
(4 days (duh!)).
is it possible to take it from under their noses?
I thought I'd bump this back up. Their domain name is set to expire on 3.15.03. Don't know if someone can look into this and do something about it.
i have so many, i don't know where to start.
That the 7 trumpet blasts in Revelation applied to some obscure conventions held in Ohio in 1922.............
knockin' on doors when nobody's home, processing ten of thousands of hours that u know are fake, refusing to embrace modern-technology to further the work just adds up to the most ineffective public relations campaign of the 21st century---yep, you guessed it the house-to-house work.........

does any one remember this one?
as we live in the "great white north" the weather does not always co-operate with us and sometimes we would have to go outdoors for field service in the winter months.
so i remember my father giving the congregation some tips when the householder would open the door!
The FAKE KNOCK. You know when you'd rap your fist against the door in such a way where it sounds loud on the outside, yet you KNOW no one indoors could hear it.
that boyfriend left because carlos was having sex with other men and because he was interested in barebacking -- the practice of having sex without a condom.
the first discussion group was established in 1998 and had 1,439 members at the end of 2002. yahoo!
bug chasers want to be a part of that club.
This article was deep and disgusting at the same time. Damn, shit like this makes you wonder whether the WTS had it right about the LAST DAYS.

don't care how you are slanted "politically" - this should be of great concern to all americans:bush plans to let religious groups get building aid.
by eric lichtblau.
ashington, jan. 22 the bush administration plans to allow religious groups for the first time to use federal housing money to help build centers where religious worship is held, as long as part of the building is also used for social services.
If the WTS decide they want to get in on these funds, who wants to bet that they'll try to convince peeps that the door-to-door/bible study work is a social service that should thus benefit from satan's........oops I mean federal dollars?
just wanted to say thanks to all for the kind words,.
i will be touching base with all of you who have open emails boxes.

Man, I hope you're just taking a much-needed break and will be back. Having spent time "IN DA' HOUSE" I have really appreciated your posts. You're up there with cats like Maximus & Alan F and a few others as far as insight into the Society's inner-workings. I have rarely responded to you but want you to know that you're HELPING more than you REALIZE. YOU KEEP IT REAL. THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR POSTS AND GENUINE OF EXPRESSIONS OF CONCERN. Peace, James............

if you could, what reparations would the wts have to make to you?

Yeah......COLLEGE is definitely a sore point for me.

The micromanagement is what really kills me. They get into your bedroom, try to dictate things that are clearly personal-choice issues. Additionally, I think I've been afflicted with SAS since about age 5.

As f*cked up as the Catholics are at least they are admitting mistakes and apologizing. Think we'll ever see that from the WTS?
