Richie, do your best to keep those new tattoos covered so as not to embarrass the congregation or bring reproach on jehovah.
perhaps you should have read this article...
so, i went to my friendly neighborhood tattoo parlor today, and recieved my second and third (or 19th and 20th - depending on how you look at it) tattoo.
the chest is an extremely sensitive area, and so i was very aware that i was alive for the majority of the time.. oh, birds are often seen as a symbol of freedom, happiness, and arriving safely.
bones show regret, loss.. .

i haven't been to a meeting in a while, so i need a little update from an active witness....
...or at least an informed xjw.
i was listening to jr brown (http://www.wtmedia.org/jrbrown-interview-1.wma ) on the silentlambs website ( http://www.silentlambs.org/ ) and the reporter kept asking him to clarify the same issues over and over.

ARE JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES: Inspired, Spirit Directed or Just "Blessed" by God?
I was listening to JR Brown (http://www.wtmedia.org/jrbrown-interview-1.wma ) on the silentlambs website ( http://www.silentlambs.org/ ) and the reporter kept asking him to clarify the same issues over and over. It seemed that Mr. ("Brother") Brown was dancing around quite a bit. The lady reporter asked him if the Jehovah's Witness Organization was inspired by God, then she asked if it was spirit directed...JR went on to say that there has been some "new understanding" on this issue. That in fact they are only "blessed" by God.
When did this change? What happened to the direct line from God to Jesus to the Governing Body to the Elders to the Congregation???
the president of iran will give bush an answer about their nuclear program in two weeks.

If you seriously want these items and don't think you are going to get them any other way.
Get a lawyer. If your mom didn't have a will, her possessions probably go to her children. All of them.
btw...welcome back to the board.

August 22nd is an important day in Islam. It is a day when Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammad road a winged horse, first to Jerusalem and then to Heaven and back.
Who knew?
Will Iran Nuke the US on that day?
According to Fox News it's possible.
We will be on high alert.
I trust Fox News as much as I trust the Watchtower to bring me "the correct date."
What do you think?
ok, everyone, you know my story by now.
we da ourselves a week ago.
my mom wrote me a letter saturday disowning me.
Definately write a letter to PetSMart about your experience.
But don't take OSCAR to that silly girl. She'll take her hatred for you out on his "doo"
Anyway, she's a monkey's butt...who needs her?
the twelve dots represent the governing body members.
stare at the center of the circle and watch them disappear.
doncha wish it was that easy?.
Simon,
Gumby is trying to hypNOtize us again.
i never even thought of that till i read some of these posts.
i actually met a girl through the internet one time while i was still a witness.
she was on the other side of the country though.
Fearing the worse, Gumby chose to meet up with Bruce at a nuetral location.
Gumby & Bruce talked, hit it off and had a few drinks.
Unbenownced to Bruce, Gumby called him up a year later
and said he had a surprise for him.
Bruce, wanting to do the right thing by Gumby..
made him an honest man.

Bruce & Gumby Today
a few years ago i went to a apostafest in montreal.
one of the couples there was someone i knew.
her sister was someone my had a study with and brought into the "truth".
Isolated/closed minded (which would be the majority) witnesses think that everyone who "leaves Jehovah" sinks into the depraved sins of the world. It's their conditioning. Any sick analogy may be brought to their mind. "Dogs returning to their vomit" "animalistic practices" "low sink of debauchery" "desires of fallen flesh" "unclean fleshly desires" 'blasphemy against the holy spirit'
But it seems that in the absence of any factual information the JWs do what they usually do and make up things we must have been DFed for.
This is the absolute truth. Witnesses will always judge you guilty even if the only evidence is you stopped attending meetings.
The best thing to do is disfellowship the witnesses for their unloving, unkind, unjust and completely brainwashed way of thinking. Do not waste your energy on worrying what they think about you. Consider the case closed and move on.
If they really think all those depraved things about you, even after knowing you for years...then they are not friends, nor were they ever. They are not worth your time.
Hold your head up and make new friends. Friends who do not hold you under the microscope of the Watchtower's warped viewpoint.
