Sorry. Ignore this post! Just seen the other thread complete with scanned image!
Interesting that it's the same one used in the UK!

The cover has three black & white pictures along the top which includes a picture of a rather healthy looking woman holding a child with the heading under it reading "Poverty". Now I am not being funny or just TRYING to be sarcastic, but really it was ridiculously silly. The next is of what I assume is a doctor standing over a patient with "epidemic" under it. Then 2 firefighters next to some rubble with the heading "Disaster" beneath it. ALL three pictures look as if they were taken in the 50's or 60's. The helmets on the firemen look silly... almost like Roman helmets.
There is then a big blue arrow pointing down to the traditional WTS paradise earth pic complete with smiling black family wearing tatty cardigans and pushing a wheelbarrow overflowing with fruit, a white family opposite picking flowers AND WAIT FOR IT............ WAIT......... WAAAAIIIIIT.... a little girl in the background stroking a lion who is drinking from a pond with COWS grazing in the background.
Riddle me this Batman. HOW THE HELL DID I buy into this SHIT for so long? I mean it is the lamest looking tract I have ever seen. Honestly more lame than the card I was handed by some religious nut on the High Street the other day.

arwen's disassociation letter June 8, 2006
by arwen injune 8, 2006. .
dear .
there are many things that i could say....many true accounts that i could attest to of unjust acts done to people and inexcusable sufferings caused by many in the congregations of jehovah's witness to others, at times by myself as well sadly, but there is nothing anyone can do now to make up for the wrongs that have been done to those that have been hurt....leave it in jehovah's hands that is what i have been told by those in charge., this has always been the answer....so i will do just that knowing that he will repay those who have treated others so badly and that continue to do so.

I did it. I wrote a letter to some personal friends in the congregation and enclosed the letter from the UN. I also wrote a short disassociation letter to four elders and enclosed the UN letter as well. I delivered them to the mailboxes and also mailed a couple. The Thursday meeting tonight should be interesting for them. Next week is the DC so they will probably not announce it till after that. I am free at last! I will copy the letter later tonight when I calm down....
Well done you!!!!
Liberating isn't it?!!! Look forward to reading it when you calm down!

While at Bethel ,GB Member Gerrit Losch always talked candidly during morning worship about petting and stuff. Would not be surprised if this was his article.
What I learnt QUICKLY at Bethel was, if a particular elder had issue with a particular practice, it was usually because they were guilty of this VERY "sin" and projected their guilt onto the masses.
One brother in particular springs to mind. He used to harp ON AND ON AND ON about adultry. It was his BIG thing. So much so that when I (gay little old me) became really good friends with an International Servant couple serving at the South African Bethel, he repeatedly called me into his office and used to GRILL me about my relationship with the wife. She was 20+ years my senior and it was so obvious there was no sexual anything between us. He continued with this almost on a daily basis. Everytime he saw me he would raise it as an issue. He was convinced I would end up commiting fornication with her... despite her husband ALWAYS being with us. Despite the age gap. Despite the FACT that I made it VERY clear nothing was going to happen and nothing ever would, he banged on and on and on. He was the straw that broke the camels back for me and I resigned from Bethel... you see what happened to this Bethel Elder was that he was married, worked on the window manufactoring team and was caught SHAGGING the blonde married sister on his team when we were all at lunch. This had been going on for some time! The hypocritical BASTARD. Anyway, I should thank him for being the one to help me see the light!

Venting about the World Cup 2006
by fullofdoubtnow inis anyone else as fed up with all the hype as i am?
i know dedpoet isn't - he can't wait for it to start, and if he could have got tickets, he would be flying out to germany to watch it.
instead of that, he is planning to watch every england match in his local pub.

Um yes. Pretty much EVERYONE at work. Urgh count me out. The REAL World Cup is next year.... The RUGBY WORLD CUP. Now we're talking! That is when I get my England flags out and take time off work to go watch the matches live! And I don't fear for my life as I have done at footie matches!

Funny Memory
by Synergy inwhen i was 19 i was married, for two years already.
the elders in our hall went to my husband and told him to monitor what i wear more closely because it was too revealing.
they told him that a sister in our hall came to the body of elders and complained that before she became a witness she was a lesbian and my revealing clothing made her have immoral thoughts about me and asked the elders to please have me change my wardrobe so her thoughts would stop.

There was one tiny congregation (of less than 70) in a small town called Ladysmith in South Africa. About 10 years ago there was one HELL of a scandal as THREE, count them, THREE sisters were lesbians and embroiled in a three way love triangle. I had family mention to me that she was quite concerned that her personal dress code might have contributed to their (the three lesbians) decline into sexual filth. How I laughed and laughed at the naivity of it all.
