That's a very cool story, about that sister! You go girl!
Now...I would really love to see the society come up with a fashion line, like someone mentioned. That would be pretty darn hilarious!lol

You wonder if JWs with money will be abble to work around those qualifications?lol
Well, they might, but I'm having trouble figuring out why one would be willing to pay moneyto go to a meeting. Jeez! I would have paid some NOT to have to assist to one!

just read 'crisis of conscience' by Ray Franz...
by Lynne Y inunbelievable.... matters presented were really disturbing and hurting... not that information presented in this book is new, but i didn't think it could be this bad... .
especially thins one.. a letter written by the society to all circuit and district overseers.
(p.293)keep in mind that to be disfellowshipped, an apostate does not have to be a promoter of apostate views.

Yes....how to get this wonderful book into the hands of a still practicing family member. My father, for one, is deeply convinced that he's got the truth. Well, he caught me reading it and started asking me why I would find it interesting to read what an apostate's got to say on old dates and such. I don't remember what I answered, but I don't think it was really convincing. I would give anything for him to at least read the book, before getting all worked up...any suggestions?

Can't wait to see those pics!
Hey, wait! Are they suggesting that "eating health food" is a bad thing. (From the article) Because that would be kind of crappy...they defend people to smoke to keep the body healthy but claim that eating health food is a sign of disillusionement?

LOL! My God! I would have died working why that elder! Wow! I think I would have just walked away when he got started like that. So you lot are aloud to go knock at the patio door? It's a big no-no over here. Or was it just that particular elder's way?lol
I'm kind of lucky I never had a scary experience like those...the only weird thing I remember was that time (I think I was 10)...I told my parents I felt sick before we left the house, but they wouldn't beleive me (...yeah, I did fake sometimes, lol) That morning when we got out from an appartement block I just vomitted all over their lawn.lol My dad was mortified..lol..I was thinking...HA! Told you so!
Oh, I also remember that scary-looking house, nobody wanted to go there, all kinds of JW urban legends circulating about it. It was small and kind of going to seeds...with a sort of little tower on the side painted in black, with dark windows. There was an occult book shop inside and a lady lived there too (A psychic, I think). I was fascinated by it as a young girl. Not scared, I love passing in front of it, felt like I was in some scary movie.lol Now I live near that house and I smile eveytime I pass by.

Why do/don't you believe in God
by LouBelle innow for all the scientists out there this is not a question of proof or anything along those lines.
for my part i choose to believe in a god because i honestly believe there is one (though i did start doubting for a little while) i've always felt that there was more to our existance on earth - and that doesn't stem from me wanting to live forever or as a spirit, as i don't even know if that will happen.
i also believe in him because many many times when i could not carry on, on my own strength, i managed to pulled through.

To me, the God from the Bible looks like an explanation to what those people could not explain, as someone else pointed out. Like a whole city getting on fire, fatalities, rainbows, certain nations winning over others. (And to excuse the horrible acts of certain persons)
I do beleive in a higher spirit though...not sure what they have to do with us, but I'm inclined to beleive in two kind of spiritual forces, male and female, God and Goddess, regulating nature and humans. That's the one beleif that makes most sense to me. As almost everything on earth has a Ying and a Yang, why not the supreme forces?

The JW dating scene is an aweful thing. When I was in, I was convinced I would never find any decent brother so I went on this JWMatch site and found 1!! brother near where I lived. We dated for two weeks, and the guy...well, lets say he seemed pretty desperate to get married (get some). He was 30 and I was 20, he lived in a crappy little appartement and was the kind of dub that makes me cringe (will not watch Lord of the Rings, but don't mind a movie full of mindless violence) I was so sure that I wuldn't find someone else that there came a point when I said to myself...well, why not just marry this one and get it over with. Sick!lol Well, I ended it a few days after when sense came kicking me in the butt. The bastard continued emailing my JW-dad to talk behind my back. Telling him how much I hurt him and how immature I was.
