  this may be the making or breaking of the legal department of the wtb&ts with whats happened these past weeks,they may have to go on stress leave with all this extra workload they have to contend with , and if another catastrophe should hit them ?

  holy toledo ,they just might have to rely on jehovah ( wait on jehovah ) to get them out of this mess , that they have created for themselves.. smiddy.

  I'm not sure this wasn't the weirdest thing I ever heard as a JW but it is one that comes to mind that bothered me. A brother who is verbally abusive and even if his is phyically violent toward his family is still better than a worldly man who is a nice guy because he is in the truth.

  Sound familiar Foundsheep?

  I agree that it is unlikely to be the single thing that will get someone to leave however it may be the last straw for some. I remember years ago back when I was a JW having dinner at friends house who still went to the congregation I used to go to. He was telling me the a JW sister that went to that congregation had left over a recent Watchtower article that said it was wrong for a witness to wear heart jewelry. I guess she told her husband that was it. She couldn't take anymore left the lie.

  If you never have used the internet, would you have returned to the borg or stay in the organization?

  No way! I left before the internet but never had any intentions of ever returning. However I do believe I was fortunate to live is SoCal at that time because I think I still had a lot of Watchtower garbage running through my mind even though I no longer believe it to be the truth and there were plenty of xjws around here to help me get rid of it.

  At the risk of being the last one in on the joke, sparlock. Is it really a JW video?

  yet i am getting jws on the net telling me that it is not from the watchtower.

  i have seen the statement from the gb member, but frankly i don't know who all the members of the gb are these days, so i have no way to really verify the truth of it.

  so someone just tell me yes or no if it is from the watchtower.

  he's baaack (or maybe he never left).

  i've been working on an idea for an online apparel shop (featuring offbeat art and culture), and for my first shirt i decided to go with my favorite warrior wizard.

  sparlock is the ultimate rebel with a cause, and his cause is to disobey:.

  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.

  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.
