i couldn't believe this list of cannots that jws have to adhere to!
i already knew about the holidays, blood tranfusions, the pledge, etc.
there's maybe one or two that i would agree are for your own good, but the rest are ridiculous!!
Do you think I might get in trouble? On Thanksgiving my disfellowshipped, girl friend stopped by to eat turkey and watch Bewitched with me. It was the episode where Darrin leaves Samantha for a cute Warlock. We toasted the fact that fate brought us together?that, and a mutual friend down at the tattoo parlor. After dinner we grabbed our matching smurf dolls we bought at the Salvation Army and went to the Lutherans big rummage sale looking for used smurf clothes.
After a while we got the munchies from smoking a couple a great Cuban cigars (yeah, right!) so we headed over to Our Lady of Devine Intervention where they were selling some totally dee-licious baked cookies in the shape of crosses. While we were there Father O?Really conned us into buying some of his annual Blood Drive raffle tickets and we signed up for his karate classes held every Saturday morning (oops there goes service). As I wished him ?Good Luck? on his raffle, my partner, who was wearing a jean-style miniskirt, uttered,
Holy S#@%! I asked her what was wrong. She said she had to get to the store before it closed and buy her kids some Lucky Charms, apparently because they had early Scout meetings the next morning and she wanted them to have a good breakfast.I told her it would be a gamble but we could try and beat all the red lights on the way to the store?but wouldn?t you know it, my Army surplus, camouflage coat got caught on the door costing us precious time and fulfilling my daily horoscope that mentioned something about a ?personal hang-up in my life.? With tires screaming the first two lights were a breeze but as we rounded the corner on Elm street, Brother Richard Head (we usually call him by his nickname) pulled his gardening truck in front of us causing my Saint Christopher to fly off the dash and my disfellowshipped girl friend to scream
YOU A#@#@H#@!! and threaten him with civil litigation. So we went back home and studied our Watchtowers for the next day!-BONEZZ
am i correct in thinking that the gb members are unpaid for their role on the board?
how, then, do they survive?
You are kidding right? They earn it the old fashioned way....they steal it from the rank & file!

i just received this today .....

- dan sydlik (bethel family) we can literally feel the happiness here.
Happiness isn't so much doing what we like, but liking what we do. It's not being where you like, but liking where you are. It's not having what you like, but liking what you have! Enjoy where we are and who we are. Make the best of every situation.
I knew Crosby, Stills and Nash were onto something when they sang..."If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with." Maybe the GB will incorporate it into the new Kingdum Melodies.

dear brothers,
Dannyboy....I think you're one boob short of a Janet Jackson video. I'm gonna channel Fred Franz (the original Oracle) tonite and see what he thinks about all this internet stuff.

PS. Didja' hear the Borg was tryin' to buy Net-Zero 'cause it reminded them of their baptism rate?
we all know that jws get all their information from the watchtower.
it's rare that you see macleans, time, or people magazine in a jw's home.
they put faith in the faithful and discreet slave to give them food at the proper time.
sorry for delay getting back....Newsweek - June 24, 2003.....Dateline - May 28th, 2003.......New York Times - August 11, 2003. The NY Times article may have been an AP story..in which case other newspapers around the country would have carried it around the same time. Could probably do a search on some of the newspaper sites and locate the article. Connie Chung may have been in Sept, can't remember but a search of CNN would no doubt bring it up. Same with Panorama in Britain.

FYI ascot....things have settled down a little but the child abuse story was carried in the New York Times, Newsweek, picked up by A.P. wire service, carried on Connie Chung's show on CNN, the big NBC Dateline debut and even covered on TV in Britian (and Australia I believe).

most of us are familiar with the watchtower bible and tract society's association with the un as an ngo.
this fact has been confirmed via correspondence with the un numerous times, notably in a letter received recently by one of our own members.
for details and photocopies, see here:.
If you don't try it, you'll never know what they might have done. Mine is on its way also...plus an email to Isolda. I think there's a chance because it's going to save them a lot of time by just referring people with questions to a particular page and not having to answer each one. I think the fact that this board represents people from many nations may have an influence too.

dear friends:.
it's been a while since i posted last, even though i probably still suffer with a newbie status, i did some dandy postings a few months back.
my wife and i are now approaching the 1 year anniversary of our split with the wtbts, and are quite happy with our decision.. one thing we did last year was to write to the u.n directly (i think i got the address from a posting here on this site) and asked specific and direct questions about the wts's involvement and knowledge of ngo requirements.
Seattle,
Ditto on what elamona said. I think the more the U.N. discovers how the borg really feels about them, the better. And observador, I think Seattleguy has the correct address at the top of his letter. Looks good
