Aren't there a few jw sites? Maybe not authorized by the gb though. Isn't Paradise Cafe pretty much jw? I thought I saw one where you had to know what song or something from the last week at the hall. I know I saw a dating service advertised that way. What could they discuss anyway? How much they all agree? carla

They supply health ins. to co's?! but not to the poor schmuks at Bethel? How about all the rank & file who work in low paying jobs that do not provide health ins? How do you suppose they will take this? carla

How to implode your local congregation
by Check_Your_Premises ini threw this out on another thread and someone asked that i give it it's own.
there were other ideas thrown out, but this one is developed enough to merit discussion.
i am not sure how to pull this off.. .

I usually say 'husband', as that is polite as I can get somedays! but never 'hubby'. thinking of all things I would like to call him is just making me laugh. I will refrain from sharing. If you can't say something nice........ carla

Is the Governing Body in Danger at Bethel as More Bethlites read the Net??
by frankiespeakin indo you think the gb should limit contact with bethelites because of possible harm that could come to them right there at headquarters.
i mean think of how many bethelites have interent access and know the gb are tyrants, but are stuck there at bethel because they have no money and no place to turn because they have been there for many years.. i think many gbs purposely keeps to themselves now a days, they probably should even think seriously of a body guard even while at bethel.. have you notice the wt doesn't give any advance notice when a gb will be speaking at conventions anymore, could it be that they are worried that some father or other family member who lost a child through thier no blood policy, finds out throught the internet that the gb are phoneies and now blames the gb for the loss of life.
think of how dangerous it would be to give advanced notice when so and so gb member would be giving a convention talk.

I thought I read where a guy blew up a hall, out east somewhere. He claimed the org took his wife and marriage away. I can certainly understand his rage. Not condoning it, just saying I know how he feels. carla

Does God speak directly to GB today?
by Bambie init's been 15 years since i was df'd, but i seem to recall as a jw that the belief was that the only human after adam that jehovah spoke directly to was jesus.. my question has to do with what the org.
teaches regarding modern day communication with jehovah.
it was my understand when i was a jw, that the gb does not say that jehovah speaks directly to them.

I have brought up the issue of the 2/3's vote too! I guess active jw's do not know about this. Husband says, ' we don't know that they vote'. Or he comes up some other subject or starts in about how we don't really know how God relays the info, etc.. carla

you guys are making me crazy! how does all of any of this become any kind of salvation issue? or is it simply because it comes from the gb, then everything they say must be believed in order to make it to the 'new system? jw's don't care about what was said before, in my experience anyway. carla

Do you guys know what earwigs are? I had a friend that put her shorts on after they were on the line, only to discover tons of them in her pants after she buttoned them!!! I would definitely scream then! carla

The easiest way to catch a flying insect is just wait till it lands on a window or something, bring a glass and a piece of paper with you, place glass over bee, slide paper between window and glass (or cup) and let the thing go outside. When I garden the bees are flying all around, they never bother me. Spiders who come into my house, however, get sucked up in the vaccum! Unless they are the little black & white striped jumping kind, those I just ignore. Grandma always said it was bad luck to kill those. Not that I really think it's bad luck, just in memory of grandma they survive the vaccum cleaner. My mother & now daughter too, save all spiders and let them go! carla
