I hated taking my vehicle on the FS, everyone would trash it, leave crap all over the floor, hardly ever got money for the fuel but at least I was helping those who hadn't the means to transport themselves, I mean the lazy idividuals who didnt work fulltime, so couldn't get a car, but just bummed of those of us who after working all week, would then waste our precious weekends dribbling crap all over the country side. AAHHHH!

Just curious...."service, and gas money"
by riotgirlpeeps inlocally on occasion it was the common practice when "in service" to leave gas money for the driver.
i know that the individuals if savvy can get a tax credit for mileage for service (and i was once told mileage to and from public talks could also be included).
what i am curious about is do people still give the driver money for thier trouble?

**MUST READ** AlanF's email to Knocking.org
by sf inthis is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.
alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.
however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.

How can they be so full of themselves? Geeeeeeeez
by pennycandy ini just read this watchtower article posted in another thread by wanderlustguy.
i can't believe that the faithful and discreet slave can read such an article, boasting the magnificence of themselves, blatantly declaring themselves tested and approved by jesus himself, higher than all others, and then say, "yes, this article is true and good.
send it to the presses.

It looks like certifiable madness, and why the men with the straight jackets haven't been sent in to "help" these poor deluded leaders is beyond me. Also I m in the same position with the old parents, to long inside means they refuse to see it as a cult, because if they did, it would be to much to take that their entire adult lives have been wasted. Such a waste.

Could never really be bothered to talk on these type of places, but then the more I do it , the more I realise I need to do it. Have been totally addicted to this place since finding it, from the freeminds site, the people are great, and the sarcasm extremly healing.

Intellectual starvation among JWs
by zagor inwanted to write another topic entirely, but after quite some thinking i thought that one particular topic should be addressed.
especially, for people still feeling confused.
we often wonder why so many dubs looks like zombies, why it is hard to make them see the real truth about the truth, why cant they discuss any topic in depth without resorting to reasoning book or other wtbs literature, why it is that they are so easily manipulated, why it is that they are filled with apostate state of mind fears (fearing to question anything), why, why, why?

I would agree with what you have here, its sad but true. There are those JW who would consider that they are even more intellectual than most due to extensive bible study and higher reasoning concepts that they only employ. By the way what part of aus are you from?

WT 8/1/2005- Chart on Kings of Judah & Israel supposedly point to 607BCE
by ithinkisee in.
they are still pushing it.
are they shifting dates, or are they just not providing "all" the evidence?.

I like the footnote at the bottom of the page, "some dates are approximate". Yea like Jerusalem detroyed in 607 bce. Perhaps all dates and predictions should have this clause.

JWD theme Song... with Rod's permission pending....
by Sargon inlistening to this, if rod was talking to the society instead of an unfaithful lover... this would make alot of sense:.
if i listened long enough to you,.
i'd find a way to believe that it's all true.. knowing that you lied, straight-faced, while i cried,.

Was he also talking about the WT when telling Maggie to "wake up" and that she "really should be back at school"? Was Maggie in fact a JW?

Do I have this right?
by carla inat the dc's which i assume are all pretty much alike-.
the main theme is obedience, meaning to elders, co's, wt, etc.
which equates to being 'obedient' to jehova.

Penetrating the GB's deceptive facade of christian love.
by greendawn inthe gb of the jws either directly or more often by implication consistently try to come across as people that deeply care about and love the so called truth, jehovah, and all the brotherhood.
this is however a pretence something totally artificial and out of their character as they are in fact deeply into practicing deceit and exploiting the "brotherhood".
what instances can you recall where you managed to see through that deceptive loving persona the face of the rapacious ruthless wolf underneath?

Never knew any GB, but dont get me started on elders, ms, pioneers, CO, DO, or basically any of the other "equal" bro & sis. As the song goes, "take the L out of lover, and its over" (showing my age).
Peace and Agape man!
