  5go's thread about atheists returning to god (or vomit as gregor puts it so well .

  i would like everyone to have at least one long held dream or ambition come true.

  or are you lucky enough to have made your dreams into substance already?.

  i have been reading this board for about 4 years.

  after 38 years of being a baptized jehovah's witness, i did some research on the internet and found enough evidence to quit.

  that was 4 years ago and i am so much happier now.

  How can 'Dubs' buy this? The Annointed are hand-picked by GOD (snigger) -. Snd if that person returns and claims to be re-Annointed (by God), the Society overrules God?

  Thanks all for giving me a great laugh .. Wouldn't it be just GREAT if an 'undercover' dub in the printing department actually ran a few million through ...bet they'd be distributed before anyone noticed, lol.

  i'm no great fan of the org but there are still people in there that i care about which is why i was sickened to see this vid on youtube.

  [link deleted].

  it's basically just poorly made hate vid that glorifies shooting dubs.

  Days that Go From Bad to Downright Embarassing

  by Crumpet in

  so far this monday has been one nightmare after another.. it began with discovering that overnight my computer has wiped my harddrive - everything gone - photos, msn conversations, university assignments, diaries, letters, work docs, movies, videos, unmentionables.

  i feel like i have been erased!

  why - i have no idea?.

  Afternoon Crumpet

  Then to top it all I found a large pokey bit of metal digging in my chin. The underwire from my bra was trying to slash an atery and put an end to this misery.

  The amount of bras this happens to. I'm ashamed to admit, I usually stitch the wire back in (using any colour cotton that's at hand) and try and make them last...

  Avishai - that's a terrible experience - hope you've made/are making a good recovery.

  Crumpet - I just had to Google 'Matthew Shepard law', but it's better you do too, rather than me try and explain, lol.

  DEMAND THE RESIGNATION OF THE GOVERNING BODY

  by Pistoff in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  in view of the breathtaking mistakes made by the governing body in the last 10 years, the time has come for all with influence in or out of the organization of jehovah's witnesses to ask for the resignation of the entire governing body.

  <br>in the past 5 years alone, we have seen the defacto president of the watchtower society, theodore jarascz, dismiss reporters from the bbc without addressing their questions about sex abuse; they have denied repeatedly that there is a problem in the 2 witness to sex abuse policy; they have arranged the excommunication of whistleblowers in the organization, implying that they are spiritually deficient or worse.

  <br>thousands of members of this fellowship have been sexually abused by family or friends in the group, only to be told that it didn't happen, that they misunderstood it, and if they could not produce a second witness or the accused confessed, they were told that they must be silent or face shunning.

  I'm with golf2 (metaphorically speaking, lol) - expose. They try to keep their 'mistakes' not only from reaching the public, but from reaching their own members! I've emailed Stephen Bates re the latest scandal, and I think it would be a GREAT idea for all newspapers to receive LOADS of letters about this. I also believe that nothing reaches the UK, and so it would be beneficial to email UK channels and newspapers.

  HOPE for the best and expect the WORST and you'll not be disappointed!

  by Terry in

  bad things do happen for a reason.

  here is the reason.. for bad things not to happen only good things would always be happening.. then, "good" would lose relative distinction with less "good".

  the less good would start to look bad in comparison.. suddenly, what use to seem only good would be bad by contrast.. is this crazy talk?.

  So - is the increase in the Anointed a good thing, or a bad thing? lol

  I know what you mean Terry -years ago I studied Sociology, and the definition of 'poverty' (in UK) changed what USED to be poverty is now called 'Absolute Poverty' as poverty now means having all basic luxury!
