I wish there is something more and we had some sort of 'reset button' after we die, but I don't think so. So use it wisely while you have it, your life that is

54What do you think happens when you die?
by brainwashed-from-birth inwe were taught you are just unconscience in a grave "hell".
no burning fires or wonderful heaven where all our dreams come true.
i never feel like i am going to heaven.

If you are serious about it, rather than using frontal attack use more suggestive, surreptitious methods in conversations with them, asking them questions as if you really want an answer to things you know they can't answer without hitting the wall. It is way more powerful, its like a guerrilla warfare, being deep behind enemy lines without being spotted. As long as you keep your cool and not getting emotional about their responses you will soon see 'miracle' happening in front of your eyes. Why? Because witnesses are hardwired to witness and they will never pass up opportunity to squeeze few minutes or hours out of you they can later report as 'field service'. In those moments of hightened awareness you will be able to put suggestions in their minds that will work later like a computer virus long after you've finished with them. Power of your suggestion will depend on two things 1. depth of raport you've developed with them and 2. logic they cannot deny. You might not see result right away, but then again exit time depends on many factors and not only logic of your arguments. Mariage, family ties, business ties etc will slow progress but the 'damage' you did will leave its mark, you better believe it. But just chasing after them will exhaust you, frustrate you and you will lose most of them now convinced more than ever they are being targeted as 'God's people'.
I don't know I could be too much into Ninpo mindset but I think indirect method like that does more damage than any frontal attack that they are already expecting to happen and are therefore prepared to shut the gates of their minds to stop you in your tracks.But either way, good luck
Cheers

lol. Have you remembered nothing from your days inside? How often are witnesses being warned to stay on guard against 'false prophets' etc. It is woven into very fabric of their identity of who they are. The only ones likely to read that are probably already either on this site or searching elsewhere on the net for answers, but by all means go for it and see what happens. ;)
to add: what I'm more concern is that they and wtbs will turn it around and take it as 'evidence' of them being 'God's people' under 'attack from demons' lmao

Well if I could I would certainly shorten years spent in it but no I wouldn't want to forget it. After all it made me who I am today.

lol go for it. If you feel comfortable first night is as good as any, the longer you wait the more you live in your head and not your body, trust me it has funny side effects. So as long as you make her feel comfortable hit the accelerator. And use protection, I didn't mean baseball bat ..... but the thing that goes on it

Trying to annul your baptism, WT says forget about it.
by cattails inthe koolaid wt issue for february has an interesting article about when your baptism can be considered invalid.but the main thrust of the article is aimed at making it super clear that if you were present at your bapt.
talk and answered the two questions then forget about it, elders are put on notice to not let anyone off the hook.but... if you were committing a serious sin and hid it at the time of your baptism, then it was invalid, and point is, they'd still announce you not being "one of j.w.s" so if you plead your case to walk away from the wt saying you didn't know what you were getting into, it will do no good, but it will be grounds for an announcement.just ol' mother wt tightening up loose ends.

Its like mom asking Jimmy:
"So tell me Jimmy are going to behave at school or not???"
Under threat of authority, pressure of situation and everything that it around his natural bodily response will be to say "yes" because it brings least amount of repercussions. Does that really mean "he made a mature choice"? You're kidding me right?! And smart mom will know that and use her authority in more suggesting and guiding way rather than threatening, "that or else". Which means that an average mom has more brains than the entire WTBS leadership.

Movie 7 Pounds. I love the whole movie but esspecially the scene where Ben Thomas (Will Smith) says "It is within my power to drastically change his cirumstances, but I don't want to give that man a gift he doesn't deserve." Not only is the movie about unconventional way of cutting right down to the core truth of what really motivates people but also how easily we can misinterpret what we are seeing at first glance. Just somehow the movie resonates deeply. Awesome movie.

That's what bananna looks like when you leave it in cold for too long ;).
But seriously, the other day I bought a bunch and left them in the fridge on bottom shelf. I've just moved into the new house and sometimes my eyes are still adjusting to the lighting, So I open the fridge door and look inside. No banannas. Shit, I thought someone must have been in here and took me bananna. Then I saw them all black I guess because of the chill.

I think we live in some of the most exciting times ever, but If I had an option of time travel I'd love to visit Library of Alexandria while it was at its zenith. Alternatively about 10 000 years into the future.
