  The baptism dude with the crack is an elder "Doing" the dunking. The tee shirt is evidence enough of that. Sides wet due to him leaning sideways holding on the the one being baptized. Yes other elders should have seen that and corrected that right away.
  
  Can you guess his occupation?
  Perhaps he is a plumber. LOL

  i got the large postcard today that apparently is designed to market the movie knocking to jws.

  under "knocking opens the door on jehovah's witnesses," it states:.

  knocking was broadcast on pbs and written about in newsweek, usa today and newspapers from detroit to dallas.

  I was watching a JW promo DVD and saw a segment where the narrator mentioned "free labor" in connection with a kingdom hall build.

  But when the ragazines are offered, and the householder asks "How much do they cost?" The WBTS instructs its salesforce to respond "They are offered without cost to you." They insistently remind them "Do not say that they are free."

  What hypocrites.

  Chiropractic

  by sass_my_frass in

  i have always suspected that chiropractic is a total crock.

  the concept that having your backbone crackled a little bit every month will control your blood pressure, cure your asthma and keep you mobile and flu-free until you're 120 seems farfetched, and yet all my life every time i have had a headache i have been inclined to set up an appointment.. i've really only been in serious pain three times; some bad neck pain which cleared up after a depressing relationship, some lumbar pain from a bad lift incident which cleared up after three weeks of wiggling around on a fitball while i was watching tv in the evening, and some weird shoulder pain which cleared up when i rejoined a gym.

  i have wasted a lot of money for many years - chiropractic just wasn't there for me.

  If you feel your current chiropractor is a quack, then find another. I've seen several and know which ones NOT to see again. I believe in Chiropractic care. It works. I've been trained under the AMA side of medicine and know of the quackery that goes on there also.
  
  Are there bad Chiropractors? Certainly. But there are also bad MD's. The Clinic and Hospital would tell you not to let one bad Doctor turn you to Chiropractic care. Well I will say Don't let one bad Chiropractic experience spoil your decision making.
  
  I use both AMA trained Doctors and Chiropractic. I take the information and make the best informed choice for ME.

  Having changed jobs to the retail industry, I have been thrust into seeing at times the greed at which people purchase items as well as the faces of little ones as they see an unexpected gift.
  
  As an Ex-JW, I also can observe the reactions of 'so called' active Witnesses when they go through the check-out line. How depressing they are. It is as if they turn off any sense of emotion during their shopping. Failing to acknowledge any form of appreciation for their presence in the store. What bah humbug people they really are.
  
  For the first time in twenty some years, I sang in a church choir for the Christmas eve service. I wanted to do it. I enjoyed it.
  
  With that, as we celebrate the anniversary of our Savior's birth. I and my family extend warm wishes to all here and hope that your Christmas is as happy as you expected it to be.

  I have no desire to respond to your "questions" by email.

  "I appreciate that and am glad that with that statement you clarify that you WILL respond to these questions 'in person' during our visit.

  After your response to my questions, then and only then can you start your restoration process. Thank You."

  Well, this would be my answer. Your mileage may vary. Good Luck.

  i'm still 'in' and have access to certain resources, including 'follow up' slips.

  i suggest that anyone 'in' or 'out' help to turn these into 'fool up' slips.

  i'll start it small.

  If one is inclined to 'start a study' in this way, just log into the societies site and find their 'interested one' area to request a visit. If you don't want your computer IP address recorded you could sign up using another computer. I.E. Most libraries have internet access now. Just a thought.

  i speak of the furry kind that burrow under my yard and destroy it.

  this year in our area they were terrible.

  i do not lie when i state that nearly every square foot of my front lawn was tunnelled this summer, some of it three and four times after i pressed down the tunnels with my feet and mower.

  Juicy Fruit Gum. The theory is that they chew the gum but cannot digest it. Don't know for sure if it works but hey since nothing else has worked. Just unwrap from the foil and drop them into the holes.
  
  AND NO SNIDE COMMENTS EITHER!! :)
