i reported the other night that we sat down to watch the new video, and while my wife was smiling and laughing while watching the first part, she stiffened and became quiet during part two.
it disturbed her deeply:.
"this is ridiculous.
Great news BoC. I think you handle it well. Best not to push. People leave the WT at their own pace.
Did you get the DVD at the assembly? I was wondering if they went forward and released it there. There was some speculation that they would withdraw it due to all the controversy over it and because it already became a joke even before it's release.
i just thought i'd post this in case there are any fans of tom shadyac in the la area that would like to hear him speak this sunday.. http://www.allsaints-pas.org/.

A little too soon to tell but I'm sure it is driving them crazy (well crazier). Funny how a little plastic wizard that they created can get under their skin so bad.
I think you are right PS...the Watchtower foot soldiers love to feel abused and picked on even if they bring it on themselves.
double post
ok folks, it's that time of year.
school's out, the kids are running around (well actually staring at the video screen), the days are longer and the night are cool.
with the lazy hot days of summer ahead what's on your reading list?.
I haven't really thought about it yet. I usually buy something to read when I go to Vegas. I did buy American Grown by Michelle Obama. It's very interesting and I recommend it but it isn't what I'd consider a summer read because it isn't a novel.

she posted this photo of a bumper sticker that read.

I'd say Thoreau would last about 10 minutes if he were resurrected into Jehovah Land.

That is so true Mrsjones. The hardest part for JW is working up the courage to set the ball in motions. It isn't easy but I think it is easier than live a lie.
well its been a few years since my two oldest and key employees/inlaws testified against me for actually doing interesting and thorough research about things i had legitimate questions about....and was foolish or wise enough to share it with my friends and family lmao!
and its been over a year since i was read out as a da apostate...(and kinda vocal about it so i am pretty much the anti-christ poster child around here).... maybe it is another thread but i cant believe these guys have not quit and they said they might due to bad conscience and pressure from elders/others...we are talking 10 to 20+ year employees and one husband wife team in that group...but also an elders wife part time of only a few years (all of whom i still love btw)...a superfine pioneer and her ms husband who is mr big in rbc stuff...and most have zero retirement except for what i have funded the past 12 years...i have had a pretty good business for a long time with never any real goal of making a lot of money because that was for sure a forbidden goal...and i did not want to look materialistic lmao!!!!!!.
but now with concerns about forever funding my own health care insurance as i always have, and losing half my assets in divorce and paying alimony for the next decade...it dawned on me that i can and should focus on growing the heck out of my biz as i think me and all my employees are gonna need a lot more money than they now have... if we want to stay in the usa anyway.... so i had a meeting and told everone there was a reason for our recent growth...and why for the first time in my life i am actually excited about it getting huge instead of being afraid of that...and how for personal reasons i never really thought about the need for a big retirement fund or saving for heath care at all until my late thirties probably...but that i have decided i am going to make a bunch more money now and am focusing on that for the first time ever...and that they need to make a bunch more money too believe it or not...now they have been very excited and into their jobs and how well they are doing them...so i shared my plans with them and said they can all stay on board and enjoy the fruits of our own hard labors...or they can get the hell off the bus...nobody has turned in their notice.
and i do this despite the fact that some of them will not even ride with me in the same vehicle while on the job..
You're a good man oopa. I don't know how you put up with that crap.
I'm sure you'll do well.

he was 91. he wrote fahrenheit 451 and the maritan chronicles.
i loved the martian chronicles.
i didn't read the other but saw the movie..
I read that MGM bought the rights to "From the Dust Return" and plan to make it into a movie. It will make a great movie if it is done right. RIP Ray.
