I wonder why Paul, Moses and other bible writers in "god's organization" earlier didn't have their writings copywrited. Guess that's what the difference between "inspired by god" and "spirit directed".

so the big "national " news release has come and gone.
it was huge in that this time it definitely hit the ears and eyes of witnesses as well as others who know witnesses, or have relatives who are in it .
on a " national " scale this is a lot of people.
My cousin, as well as other relatives still in, considers the news report "lies and trash" and will not listen and request that we not send anything like that to their email again. The organization could do not wrong and if it does, it's just the people in it and "wait on Jehovah" is what they will say and continue on. It was my mother who sent the email link to the story. I decided not long ago that I will not discuss JW matters with them unless they bring it up because I dont have time to go round and round with them. They have their mind made up already and there is nothing that I or anybody else can say that will change their mind. Something has to happen to them personally before their eyes will be opened, if at all.

anonymously, i sent out about 100 emails this morning, about the nbc-news story.
all to jw's from my contact list.
i have not written any of these people for at least two years.
I sent the video link to my mother who saw it and forwarded it to one of my JW relatives (one of my cousins) and my mother got this reply:
"____________, I got this E-mail which I consider trash. I would appreaciate it if you never send anything like this again to me. It's up to what you read or believe but I love jehovah and his orginazition and would never want to be anywhere else."
People will see what they want to see and continue to bury their heads in the sand and deny
if everyone who is signed up for the sectret santa can post a few ideas of the sort of thing you like in here, when people receive their names they can come in here and look you up so get some ideas .

I like any good smell-good stuff, books on interesting people, gift certificates are always good too :) LRG
i was visiting another forum today and got the impression that someone on it was e-mailing copies of the pdf version of "captives of a concept" without my permission.. when i asked about this matter i immediately received an e-mail from someone who acknowledged that she was the one who had done this numerous times.
she explained that she just never thought about violating any copyright laws.
she apologized and volunteered to reimburse me for all the copies she e-mailed.. i wouldn't be surprised if this may not the only time this has happened.
Whoever is out there thinking about snagging a copy online, it's only $5 downloadable on lulu.com. BTW, thanks Don Cameron for your publication. I downloaded from lulu, printed it out and put in a binder so I could read it better without having to spend so much time reading so much on a monitor at one time. LRG
i remember an elder walking in the hall and it was the 1st thing he said to me as he saw me dealing with the sound dept.
"where is your jacket"!!!!
nice greeting!!
I was never asked where my jacket was but I was asked where my tie was quite a number of times.

i am new to the site.
i wish i had known about it earlier, it would have avoided a lot of the guilty feelings i felt when i was df in 1998. it's so cool to see so many members.
anyway i wanted to ask what religion do you follow now that you are no longer a jw?
Once I left the WTS that was enough for me. I don't and never will follow or support ANY other relgion again. Ever. Oddly enough during the years I was an active JW my parents were apathetic towards religion, now my dad goes with his wife to some church I dont know the demonination of and my mother is getting baptized in the LDS church and asked me to go to her baptism.
The only time I ever go to "church" it is for weddings or a funeral and that's it.

i was just sitting here laughing, thinking about how disapointed my father must be in me... what?
for figuring out it's all crap?
that's what tortures me the most, i really didin't want to let anyone down, but damn, how long could i lie to myself?.
Hey Dawg!!
I would love to try some of your brownies! I never tried Jack Daniels and ginger ale together although I love ginger ale. If I lived in Georgia I would drop in and say hi. Maybe perhaps I will see one of these days at one of the great apostafests in Dallas! If you have a chance, go! The experience is truly amazing!

i haven't seen this topic on here so i thought i'd.... hmmm, maybe it's because it's just too disturbing?
to me, the scene in saving private ryan - the two soldiers in the small upstairs room fighting hand to hand to the death (by stabbing).
i think that is the most disturbing thing i've seen on screen and there were plenty just in that film alone.
The movie The Last House On The Left. The scenes where the kidnapped girls are humiliated, tortured and murdered.
It's me
