Your going to do ok snowboarder. You're in your prime. A lot of people don't realize that it isn't the truth till they've wasted most of their lives in the organization. Jamie is right go pursue your sports, get an education and eventually the time you spent in the Watchtower will seem like nothing more than a bad dream.

Who's old enough to remember Queen for a Day?
by Nickolas inwhen i was a kid back in the late 50's / early 60's (yes, i am very old, now let's move on) there was a television program that capitalised on the lives of miserable women.
it was my mom's favourie.
each day monday to friday there would be four women on the show, each with a sad story to tell.

I'm old enough I just don't remember it.
Most daytime TV now seems to consist of getting morons to fight with each other.

New Disfellowshipping Policy?
by Madmen ini heard the policy on disfellowshipping has changed, so that you cannot be disfellowshipped if you're not currently "fellowshipping".
does this apply if you're baptised, but haven't associated for over a decade and then choose to speak out in the media (specifically tv) in a way that the watchtower society would consider to be apostasy e.g.
questioning the society's function and/or the very existence of a creator?.

Part of the reason I decided to sent a letter of disassociation when I left the Watchtower was to point out to them they couldn't df me because I had already quit their organization. I used the analogy of a company firing someone who already let them know they quit their job. To me it seemed obvious that it was slander to say you fired someone that quit voluntarily I guess it worked back then because they never tried to df me but then again it didn't change anything because the dubs till avoided me like I had the plague and probably would have been df'd themself if they chose to associate with me.
I don't think it matters much what label they try to put on you also long as they have the rank and file convinced that you are evil and under the power of satan once you leave leave the Watchtower. If they hear you no longer believe it or are speaking against it they won't want anything to do with you. The Watchtower knows that the best way to keep control over its members it dehumanize those who leave and that is what they try to do.

The Watchtower Repeats The Same Baloney Again And Again And Again
by metatron inmay 1, 2011 watchtower, page 8.
"i feel like i've gone from owning a piece of paradise to owning a toxic waste dump" (reference to rev.
11:18, 'god will bring to ruin those ruining the earth').

I wonder did they even refer to this scripture in this manor before the envoronmental movement that began in the late 60's or early 70's.
I like the word tower-riff to discribe what they do but I also wonder what makes them want to do it. What makes men like this tick?

transglutaminase.........While banned in the EU
Nickolas, I was just wondering if you happen to know why it is banned in the EU? I'm sure it isn't for the same reason the WT would ban it.

The Watchtower better look out if they start messing with McDonalds. McDonalds might buy them out. Change the name of their deity to McHovah and start running coupons for Big Macs in the Watchtower magazine.
