the following is quoted in it's entirety (excepting cited scriptures after each question) from the new release organized to do jehovah's will, pages 182-218.. .
questions for those desiring to be baptized.
part 1 elementary bible teachings.
he should be discreet in not making any firm statements about whether a resurrection might be possible. Any future prospect for the dead is in the hands of Jehovah, and no one is in a position to say whether the deceased will be resurrected or not.
woah.........shouldn't this be true for the death of anyone?
i forgot this cooky thing that i wanted to share with y'all.
my mum has a pet dwarf rabbitt...she puts a tie on the rabbitt and takes him door to door and to the bible studies....maybe she's compensating because i left the dubs...it all sounds like she is not playing with a full deck, it's funny and kinda sad at the same time.

I am still cracking up.

Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization?
This is not new in this book, but I think it came about the year before I got baptised (1986) I got baptised as a symbol to this, I just did not understand at the time. How clever they are!
i wrote this poem in the wee hours this morning after reading prophecor`s thread (you`re my reason why i am).
anyway, it`s for all of you, and for those who work really hard to keep this place up and running.
you belong.
I got this published in a little poetry quarterly last year.

Today I cry for all I have not done
for all I had to do.
The answers were all there before me.
Who had time to think?
But-
Busy with necessities.
How relentless it became.
To stay alive.
What a different person we become,
When there is no time for
laughs, tears, sunsets, butterflys, people, love
tucked away
the little girl is still there
neatly
safely
guarded
waiting for a safe time
to come out and play.
She cries too for all she did not
get to do, and all she had to do.
See, now I look like a woman,
but it is deceiving as I am only a
child
and Soon I will be an old woman
Where will the child be then?
Hopefully enjoying
laughs, tears, sunsets, butterflys, people, love

I think this poem best decribes a life of abuse, control and manipulation
and my hope for growing old happy!
You are all invited!!!!!
the kingdom hall where i used to go has the theocratic ministry school and service meetings on tuesday.
i have finally come to grips with my need to exit the jehovah's witnesses forever.
i told my parents today that i'm leaving the jw religion behind forever.
I wish I was there to hug you

today, a small tornado touched down in south san francisco and people went nutz.
it was very localized and basically blew out a few windows, but looking at the local news you'd think that the sky was falling.
since some of you live in 'tornado alley', can you please enlighten us californians as to what you consider to be a 'real' tornado?
IronGland,
I've never lived in a trailer,
I never lived in a trailer either...........I thought you posted your last........Didn't you say good-bye last week?

what if we started a fund that guaranteed one of the bethel or gb old-timers an income and a place to live for the rest of their life if they turned over information and documents that would crush the society?.
there's gotta be some rich apostates out there right?.
after reading "crisis of conscience" and "search of christian freedom" i was struck by how many men in the writing department and executive committees are fully aware of "the truth about the truth" and how these men are scared to say anything for fear of being cast out of bethel with nothing.. it also explains why some of those brothers that i met while there seemed almost sad and solemn and kept to themselves.. if one of these men knew that he and his wife would have a place to live and a regular income for the remainder of their days ... who knows what could come of it .... anyways ... just my thought for the day.

oh come on, you don't have a mustache!
