i know there's 6 milllion dubs.
but how many living ex-dubs are out there?
estimate da'd, df'd, faded, raised never baptized, unbelieving (not opposed) mates, children etc.
Don't you know almost everyone has been witnessed to? The end is just around the corner. Everyone but us 6 million are going to die. Screw them, and their stupid scare tactics. Anyways, there's probably at least 2 or 3 million ex-dubs out there. I don't know how you would actually get a definitive number on that. I'll be sittin here drinkin one of these while I think about it.

i was going to post this in the entertainment forum, but i remembered how i was not supposed to watch this movie.
when i did, i was terrified.
this was truly creepy to me.
Dude, "The Ring" was an absolutely awesome movie. I'm going to go rent "Saw" when that comes out as well later this week. I love movies that focus on paranormal events. It's hard to scare me, but I love it when I see a good creepy movie that does the trick.

I know I'll go and see it. It looks good. I am sometimes skeptical when it comes to believing in an all-powerful God of good. But I do believe there are other spirit creatures out there. I don't obsess about it or anything. But, I do find stories like that both interesting and creepy. Kinda makes you think a little bit.

i just finished a visit with two elders.
i had actually contacted the head quarters and wanted to see how fast i can get a response from them.
i was impressed, from the time of my request to them in my house... two weeks.
Nice job! It took alot of self control and courage to handle the situation as well as you did. I hope someday I can have the ability to gain control over the anger I have towards the society, and use it in a positive manner like you.

.
if shunning was stopped as a result of society policy change, do you think that there would be a significant exodus out of the organization????.

I think you would see about 1/4 to 1/2 of the ranks gone. It would be amazing to see just how many hang on, because of friends and relatives.
Dustin
but you have to admit that some are nice caring people.
my wife missed the meeting to night due to flu and a sister who has far more health problems than us phoned to ask after her.
she even asked after me, brother 'long time no see'!
Yeah, I can think of quite a few people who I liked.

this week's question is:.
if you were marooned on a desert island, what drink would you die for?.
1. shiraz.
Just give me a cold fresh brewed Coors Light. I'd also settle for a Captain and Rootbeer, good stuff!

in this disassociation letter example it says the following:.
"at one time, all blood products were unacceptable.
All I know is the society is messed up. They always do that crap of saying one thing, and then changing it again for no reason. Then they wonder why people leave, and don't believe a damn word they say. I know this much, I have no problem donating blood now. I certainly don't have a problem taking a blood transfusion if that will save my life.

1. so i wake up this morning and realize that my mom is missing.
i called her last night from 9pm to 11pm and this morning i called at 8am and there was no answer each time i called.
if she had been out earlier last night, it sure seemed as if she never came home.
Damn, that's a crappy day. I had to work 12 hours, and the day went like crap because I'm sick. But nothing quite as bad as that. I hope your ankle feels better tommorow.

it's has been a hard few months for me.
i am just so sad i don't know where to begin.
i feel so lost in this world and i have lost all my friends and i feel so alone.

Life can be really unfair sometimes. I wish I had something I could tell you that could make it all better. All I can really say is I hope things get better, and they will. Just remember you're not alone. There's alot of people out here who care how your day is going.
