  i have never met any of you, but have to say how much happiness and relief you all have given me over the years here.. i could mention some names, but just want to say that the atmosphere of love and acceptance here, and the prayers of some have helped me so much.. sometimes just a smile, or a squeazed hand is enough.

  i have had neither from this board, but i want to wish all of the posters and lurkers all the very best in 2008.. love .

  i'd like you all to tell me 2 or 3 things:.

  1- were you raised a witness or not?.

  2-if you were, was your family very "theocratic" or not so much?.

  If I were planning a trip.............

  2. friends

  we often hear about a so-called 'world wide brotherhood'.

  is this possibly true?.

  if i were to make a trip somewhere going near where you live and contacted you, would you invite me for a meal or a nights stay without really knowing me except for my internet postings?.

  by oompa in

  2. friends

  ...that term anymore, so are not disfellowshipped any more, but just no longer a witness, what is that?

  i wonder what word it will become to describe these ones and the action taken?

  we don't have one yet, but most dubs i know are still saying "he's disfellowshiped" oooo scary.

  What keeps most members in the ''spiritual netting'' of the WTS?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  birds or any other animal can be caught with a net.

  they don't have the wisdom to see what's coming.. what does the wts use that is so powerful that most members can't seem to escape?

  what makes them so powerful that they can have so much effect on everyone of us?.

  1) addictive promise of everlasting life in paradise, which becomes the fear of loosing same!

  2) all the trappings and circular reasoning concerning the FDS class and threir being the mediator between you and God. (bait and switch)

  2. friends

  on a recent thread, i made a bit of fun about outlaw having to eat penguin morning, noon, and night.. as is the way of things, his almost unbelievably super-nasty p/m back to me made me do some research, and lo and behold, i found a plethora of penguin recipes suitable to all but the most sensitive of palates:.

  penguin fricassee.

  penguin & chips.

  2. friends

  may make the dreaded announcement to my super righteous, super loyal parents next week that i'm not going anymore.. problem is, as you all know, they "really" believe that it's tantamount to my killing their grandchildren.

  .

  pretty tough decision because i think they kind of get the vibe already!
