after 40 years of serving as a regular pioneer and being on the infirm list, the circuit overseer, the po and another elder told her today in a 30 min.
conversation she was going to be announced as no longer pioneering.
the co mostly talked about me, my wife and daughter.
This thread should be in the "best of" section.. being the best example of how disgusting this WTS human organization really is.
I'm glad that the light is getting brighter for mom. However, nobody can give her back the 40 years she has devoted to announcing the "good news".
If there is a god, which I often doubt nowadays, I am certain that he will reward her eventually for being a good person and doing what she thought was the right thing.
this is a question i have had for over 13 years, since i first found out that rutherford had a house, named beth sarim, built for him in san diego.
where did the money come from for the 100 acres of land the house was situated upon, and for the design and construction of the house?
in the proclaimer's book, it is said that a "direct contribution" was made for the house.
I'm probably wrong, but the way I always understood it was that Beth Sarim was meant for the faithful men of old to reside in upon their return to earth. Then, when they didn't return when the GB thought they would, Rutherford lived in it, rather than to have it sit empty. Again, I might be wrong, but this has always been my understanding of Beth Sarim.

which do you like better pepsi or coke?.
evanescence *wish there were voting polls on this forum
Having travelled a lot I find that the quality of both can vary from country to country,
This is true.
In Europe : I prefer coke
America : pepsi
but I usually drink sam's choice cola because it is much cheaper and I'm kind of cheap.
we all know the jw view on what happens at death.
however a friend of mine lost a very young son and went to a medium.
the medium told her the name of her son without knowing anything about her or even knowing that she had a child that died.
I *think* that there is something or someone "out there". And I also believe that there are people who can predict your future.
Explain this one if you like..
The year was 1991. I was about to make a short trip overseas. A friend of mine went to a "claivoyant" because she wanted to know if her relationship with her current boyfriend had a chance or not. She wanted me to go with her, just for the company. While she was talking to this woman, I was sitting in a corner of the room, being as quiet as I could. All of a sudden the woman turned to me and said.... "I see water, lots of water, looks like the ocean". I didn't say anything, as I didn't know whether I was supposed to answer to that or not. She then said "I see you going back and forth over the water, back and forth and then you go one more time and you never come back again".
Again, I was planning on making a short trip overseas. No more and no less. Little did I know that during the next 3 years I would make 6 different trips overseas. My last trip was in October of 1994. She was right, I never went back home.
Unless she made an extremely lucky guess which seems very unlikely to me, she could not possibly have used any tricks here.
i saw something very disturbing this morning.
i parked my car in the downtown dallas area and in the parking lot across the street i see a grey ford mustang.... with a fake redhead woman sitting in the passenger seat.
it was painfully obvious that this guy was using "her" so he could drive in the hov lane.
Erm....what is a HOV lane?A carpooling lane, there has to be more then one person in the car. We don't have them around here, as our bigest highways have only two lanes.I remember hearing a few years back that when they introduced those lanes and passed the laws around them, there was a huge increace in the sales of inflatable people in sex-shops.
I had never heard of HOV lanes, but then, I live in the mountains where we are happy to have a gravelled road here and there. Lots of roads are dirt roads with only local traffic.
This is hilarious though. I am sitting here, laughing. People are incredible..... and resourceful. Thanks for the laughs.
bad?
i have done research on it lately.
actually for a couple of yrs now, on and off.
Dammit, I wanted to hear what they had to say...
Lol, me too.. I kept reading through all the pages, hoping he had called back after 12 o'clock. Nothing.. sigh. You going to call tomorrow, defd?
.
.............. coc, of course.
when you were still in the org, or when you had already left.. i read it when i was still in and it had a profound effect on me.. lets take a poll .
I read CoC last spring, after I had been posting on JWD for about 3 months. Before I found JWD I had no idea that CoC was out there.. I'd say it is a must read for all.
so i'm quitting smoking.
it's no biggee, i've done it before... .
no seriously, i smoked my last one at lunch.
I cross my fingers and hope you'll succeed.
Fairchild, where can I get info on Dave's book? Thanks.
hubert, sorry, I tried to reply to this earlier, but my posts keep getting blocked because of that proxy server thing, grrr... is getting annoying. Let's try again..
My e-mail box is a mess and I milled through hundreds of e-mails, but can't find the one where Dave sent me a link. I know that his book is on Amazon.com. It was supposed to be released around September 30th, but I think there was a bit of a delay. I'll search again, but you might get it faster by sending him a pm.
I'll also pm you a link to his website right after this..
why is this site promoting gambling through a link on its index page to an online casino?
There are advertisements on this site so that all of us would be able to read the threads without annoying pop ups. Countless sites do that, and as far as I know they have no control over what kind of ads will be shown. Some robot or something picks up key words from threads and takes it from there. Recently, I saw a big stink at a true JW site because there was an ad on it for an "apostate" site.
Nobody is forced to click on the ads.
Edited to add... I love gambling, it's much fun!!
