We don't really like organizing things all that much anymore. Even the word "organized" gives me the willies.

over the past few years i would buy my old dub friend and his wife a coffee in the mornings and we would car pool to the district conventions.
he just wrote me an email and asked if i would be getting the coffee's again for them this year, all tounge in cheek.
i replied "no problem, just come find me on the assembly grounds.

I'll be the guy screaming with the "Jehovah's Witnesses Kill Babies" placard waving in everybody's face. Would you like cream and sugar with that?"
I haven't gotten a reply back yet. What's up with that?

I bit the BOrg's hand.

Question: have any of you guys ever known anybody that asks for help in choosing between the cult and a relationship to actually leave the relationship? Every person I've ever advised has chosen to stick with the cultist and trudge along in the Witnesses. It's sad.

does religious belief transcend life?
Gives me that ache in my soul, the feeling that we're helpless fighting a corporate virus. It rots the essence of love itself.

we've had several very interesting threads going on about how those of us who are still on the inside can work to open the eyes of the witnesses at the district conventions this summer.
since people have been making scattered suggestions on scattered threads, i thought we should start a consolidated thread here that lays all the options out on the table for those that want to be a part of it.
here are the ideas that have stood out in my mind so far (please add any that i have missed): .
It's a little too late this year for Calgary but next year I'm going to organize a sort of Joni Mitchell-esq protest concert just outside of the assembly grounds. I believe music is a magical thing and a nice acoustic set (no pantera, sorry guys) might win over some dubs into seeing we are peaceful protesters and not frothing at the mouth demon possessed people. Perhaps we could "win them over without a word". I'd like to set things up so the music is just loud enough for the attendees to hear as they walk in, during the lunch break, and after they file out. If anybody would like to help me with this in any way please send me a PM.
GBL
P.S It would be really cool to get some idea's of great acoustic songs you guys think would be appropriate for the occasion.
.
i credit this to "cinemablend" for giving me the thought.. prove to me that the watchtower is the "faithful and discreet slave class', to which the j.w's have to obey down to the letter.. who can "prove" or "disprove" this?.

Impossible to think about this without feeling a sense of rage. Damn you and your wicked lies, Governing Body. Damn you.

number 3 son, ben, finished his 3 years at cardiff university today.
to celebrate, he earlier went out with his pals, got well and truly sozzled in several pubs and indulged in the highly dangerous pastime of partaking in a few psycho tequilas!
so how do you imbibe psycho tequilas?
I think its freaking hilarious. I'd been known to snort a few lines of salt and squeeze lemon juice in my eye back in my day..
