Congradulations on finishing a great book!
i have just completed crisis of conscience.
now i understand why my father, the co, the wts and every other elder who came to my home asked if i had read the book.. i had not.
however, the argumentation stylesup to and including the focus in my letters on the paired issues of candor and humilityas well as the bulk of the scriptures used by brother franz and others were present in my letters.. this shows their hubris to an even greater degree.
Cheers to you Auldsoul !
Congradulations on finishing a great book!
i hurts me alot that i have to say goodbye to all of you.
whether or not i joined in a topic, you all (well, most) had a way of making me feel like part of the family here.
you have all made me laugh and made me cry.
Thanks for the laugh!
Sure the WBTS isn't perfect. But, they are the spokesman for Jehovah.
You had me going till I read this!

My wife brought my attention to this "belief system selector" http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/ this weekend. I thought it was interesting and figured I'd post it here. My results are as follows. Notice the religion at the bottom of the list.
Your Results:
1. | Hinduism (100%) |
would you respond to them?
let sleeping dogs lie?
go on the attack??
well, i have once again put finger to keyboard and produced another article.
i have to say that i have never had as much fun with a subject as with this one.
you can really see the goofyness of religion under the demon microscope.
I heard the hypnotist story before! Only it was a blue oyster cult rock-N-roll concert and none of the "special effects" were working properly untill they asked the Dubs to leave. Once the Dubs left all was well for the rest of the show. Isn't in magnificant how Jehovah protects his people.
the society has always been cleaver enough with wording to skate around many things.
they use gramatical trickery which makes for many ' written skapegoats' they've used to protect ther validity as jehovahs mouthpiece.. i found a quote by them when researching for something on another thread and thought it was interesting.. below is an article in a 1993 awake!
march 22, pages 3-4.
Aww Gumby...those quotes dont mean jack! That's all old light now, and henceforth, doesn't count. You should know that by now. Sheese!
if so, check out this vid of tony royster jr .
he is now 21, but this vid was taken when he was only 12.. enjoy!.

It wasnt untill about six minutes into the solo when he twirled his drum stick that I realized that he's not bad for a twelve year old.
i feel a little odd in posting this..... i am a 39 year old former witness, former elder, former just about everything.
been through much in the last two years... realized not all things i believed were true to me, not all things in the faith work the way i thought.
no anger about the past... i did what i believed to be true to myself, and what others do is their decision.
Im not too far from Pittsbugh. Im from Youngstown. Nice to meet you!
so i pulled the trigger, and im riding the bullet.
called my mother yesterday and spilled all the beans.
she listened.
Perhaps your family will bend the WTS's rules in their actions toward you? I hope it all works out for you.
