U/D I'm wondering why there are so many new poster's with no biographies or background information......and then when asked "why" about something they give a very snotty comeback???? If you want to "waste" a post or whatever you have a perfect right to! I for one just love looking at you!

Why DOESN'T Ray Franz post here?
by AlmostAtheist insilly question.
he wrote the best known ex-jw book.
the title is even known among faithful dubs.. it's hard to imagine that he's not interested in the topic.

Ray Franz questioned the FDS and the teachings of the WTB&TS. He revealed some of the lies and falsehoods being written by the "organization" for this he was "cast out". He wrote several books sharing this information and his views.......he does not wish to start his own religion or have a following.
There is another thread going on one of the "members only" sections, on which some of the posters are trashing some of his writings.
If he were to openly post here.....I'm afraid he'd either be set up as a leader to be followed and worshipped or be trashed and valified.....when all he has done is revealed the achilles heel of the WTB&TS and explained why he left the organization.

Freddie Franz is deceased, Ray is still very much alive, though elderly and in frail health as stated previously. He brought to light the facts he did about the WTB&TS because he truly believed in Jehovah and the Bible, he did not believe in the "Organization", their spin on world events and the bible and the "politics" of the WTB&TS. My younger brother (now 51) served at Bether during the reign of Freddie Franz and during the time Ray was still there. Ray was known for his honesty, hard work, spirituality and his kindness to all. It was his honesty that led to his leaving the WTB&TS, I don't think he has ever really left Jehovah!

Perhaps you could explain to her that you and the dancer were "singing and dancing in praise to Jehovah" as the Isrealites used to do, as we've often read in the Song of Solomon and the book of Psalms?

I don't have any yet! However I just bought myself a 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50T and am now shopping to find out what my first piece of body art will be. It will have to be age appropriate, fine lines and in a location where it can be hidden by business attire!
My daughter Danielle got her first piece of body art at 15 (she's now 17 1/2) it was a duck with attitude, after that she got a pudgy devi with a halo on her lower back and 3 months ago she got a tribal band with her late Grandfather's initials (RJM) in the center around her upper right arm. The only one that bothered her was the devil on her lower back, the artist was a little heavy handed and we should have waited until a differant time of month to have it done.

It's been so long since I've heard the pitter patter of their big feet! I'd love it if they stopped now, I'd love to play with them for a while!

I think the topic had to do with how strange it is that we are drawn here, to JWD and the discussions regarding that which we left.
I'm drawn here, almost daily, because of the discussions and because it's nice to know that you are not alone. That there are others that have the same doubts and questions as I do. I'm drawn because this is a place I can ask the questions and discuss the topics not allowed by the WTB&TS.
As for "poor" def'd.....I have one or maybe two questions....Are you self employed? If not, would it not be the business of your employer that you spend so much of your workday on line and not attending to your employment duties?

IF the Marine's take him, they will make a man of him.......they will either make him come up with the $$$$$$ before enlistment or all of his $$$$$$ will go to you each month if he's man enough to make it through basic. Another good point....if he enlists in the military, your son will have certain rights to his military benefits, including medical care (and if something happens to him while he is serving, there is a small life insurance policy and you can collect Social Security for your son and until he's 16 for yourself as his caregiver)!
As hard as it may be, step back a little and wait and see if he is allowed to enlist. He has a judgment against him for the back child support, so this could be a good thing one way or another the military will see that he pays it off.
Good luck and keep us posted!
PS - John....you sign as an ex-Marine. It is my understanding having dated a retired Master Gunnery Sargeant for these past 12 years, that you are always a Marine. You may refer to yourself as retired or prior (depending on length of service) but you are never, ever and ex-Marine.

Flyin, they've got to be men if they're gay, because if they were women, they'd be a lesbian couple!
