  Wow….great story Brooke. It never ceases to amaze me have much attention is put on "works" in dub-land. Who cares how much good you have done, if you don’t have a "impressive" time slip, you’ll never be in with them. Crazy how long I stayed in knowing that.

  Postive USA thread - I think the USA is great because ......

  i started a somewhat tongue in cheek, perhaps slightly anti-usa thread yesterday.

  i was really playing 'devil's advocate', so here is a chance to redress the balance.

  i think the usa is great because ..... .

  Great because of all the opportunities offered here. But Simon’s right. We have a fair amount of whack jobs here. That is one of the prices paid to freedom. I think it’s funny. Most of the world is fixated on why America sucks. Many around the world wake up each day, not in America, trying to find reasons to hate America. I wake up each day relishing in the fact I live here. All I see is thousands of people trying to get in, trying to live here. Don’t see many leaving. Even the Hollywood elite that PROMISED to move if Gore lost they would move were still here to promise to move if Kerry lost. Hey, they’re still here. To quote the New Testament, “where else would we go?”

  Went to a bigger screen and got a chance to read your letter. Wow…and I can sympathize. I was before a JC in the late 80’s. I wasn’t baptized yet, but it was before the “un-baptized publisher” arraignment. Anyways, I told them what I did was wrong and I wanted help. I, at the time, was very sincere. I fully believed in the “truth.” But one of the Elders on the committee either didn’t like me or my family. My father was DF’d at the time, so we were outsiders anyways. And he wouldn’t listen to anything I said. I sat in the room a sniffling crybaby, feeling all guilty. Lot of good it did, at the next meeting I was announced as “bad association.” I bet you remember, at the time, that was the same as being DF’d. Then came the doctrine change in 89’ and all of a sudden I was ok to talk too. So I know what you mean, being sincere in front of a JC. I believe many of the Elders involved, enter the room prejudiced in some way or another.

  Name Some Trivial Things That Are Big Deals To JWs

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so many things come to mind to show how silly jws sound in reality.

  for example, being allowed to pass the microphones is a big deal, especially to a young brother.

  or being given the "privilege" of cutting the grass or working on a "quick-build" is really something special to a jw.

  1. The yearly insert in the KM about the DC
  2. The almost supernatural fear they put on APOSTATES
  3. New releases at the DC, I love collective gasp that goes around the audience
  4. Lining up for pictures of Drama characters at the DC
  5. The bi-yearly CO visit….even more sickening of the DO is with him

  from the notes of "incognita"......... i was doing a little comparing of the new book "what does the bible really teach?

  " and guess what?????????????

  the chapters are identical to the knowledge book-------------this book was printed in 1995--------so they had to disguise it with a soft cover and change the name for 2005. our posters are wondering what the new book contains, well here are a list of the 19 chapters just like in the knowlege book, but worded a little different....................new light------hum-bug......... .

  I would have to go ahead and let them. I have already wasted enough time and energy to even consider playing with them. Once that chapter is closed I don’t want to re-open it.
