maybe the correct word is not "hate", but "distain" or "dislike"... .
many people were against the war in iraq and dilike president bush, has this had a baring on how people view americans?
when america flexes its military muscles how do you feel?
Yeah, but they can pull you off the street in the US, tell no one, ship you out the country and have you tortured to death.
I knew someone who was pulled off the street, his family wasn't told, and was drugged and tortured for an entire month by the RCMP. Right here in Canada in the early 1970's. All because of ideology. At least he survived and was eventually released.
It can happen anywhere.

i have just talked with the wtbts service department at 718-560-5000.. you can contribute for hurricane katrina relief efforts through your local kingdom hall and put your donation in the contribution box marked for the world wide work.
you may also send donations directly to the branch office... to the brooklyn address.
donations should be marked for the world wide work and not specificically reserved for relief efforts.
Donations should be marked for the World Wide Work and not specificically reserved for relief efforts. This allows the brothers to use the money in the best way they see fit. Again, mark donations for the World Wide Work and not specific to the relief efforts.
Why don't the bastards just come out and say money for the "Worldwide Work" is just for their pedophice defense fund?

when people pray does god listen?
does he care?
when prayers are "answered", is that proof of a divine being?
Hmmm, did I kill the thread? This isn't very encouraging to us wannabe gods, ya know?

i'm glad god never granted my "wish" for a husband while i was still in the org.
i'd be hurtin' a lot more right now if i was married/involved.

Yeah, I wish I could say the same. The breakup was painful.
There are two Mormons in front of my door right now, and I'm wearing only a T-shirt (no bottom).For a second I thought of opening the door and engaging them in a Bible-based discussion, but I'm glad I didn't. Wonder if they're still there...
I used to look forward to calls like you when I was a JW. And I never made any effort to keep the call short. In my 20 years as a JW there were only 2 occasions when a woman answered the door naked. Of course, I always tried to be friendly. I'm glad I never became a missionary. It would have sucked to be somewhere overseas when I became an "apostate" and separated from my wife. I bet the society would have left me stranded there. W

it feels like we are at the end of summer.. beginning of fall, and a soon to be winter.

Beginning of fall,
It's the best time of year! Nice colours, nice weather, no mosquitos or humidity!!! And happy B-Day!

i used to think that if the end didnt come within the generation that the wts would have to shut down.
as it is a multibillion dollar non profit organisation i imagined that the publishers would then each get an equal distribution of the wealth, a great incentive to stay.
but then the definition of a generation changed and makes the wts viable for a bit longer than i cared to hang around for.. how long do you think the wts can continue before people en masse realise it is a pointless cult and it drifts into oblivion.
As we speak the Governing Body is funneling millions of dollars to secret offshore accounts. They will probably build themselves a nice resort somewhere in the tropics. A special task force of hot, nubile pioneers are already prepared to relocate at a moments notice so they will be on hand to cater to every whim of these holy men from Brooklyn.

when prayers are "answered", is that proof of a divine being?
Everyone should feel free to make me their God. You can petition me in prayer via PM.
I promise to read every PM. I promise to answer every PM. The answer will almost always be NO!
But hey, at least you'll get an answer!

for those not up-to-date on my situation ... .
i was disfellowshipped and i posted about it here.. i wrote an appeal letter, and wrote about it here.
so, i just got home from a weeks vacation, i was home for 3 hours.
Does this mean you'll be out in service™ this Saturday when you could spend your time more wisely by posting here?
If you want to comment at the Watchtower study on Sunday you can get some excellent material from Blondie's Watchtower study thread. It will demonstrate your willingness to research deep spiritual truths™.

everybody pictures the new system as a paradise, but i'm sure that there will be lousy jobs, just like today.. well, some will be garbage men, picking up the trash house to house.
not too pleasing for a new system job.. name other lousy jobs some will have to do even in the new system.
Picking all that gawddamn fruit they have in their stupid baskets. Imagine doing that for 1,000 years? Just thinking about it makes me want to shoot myself! Where the hell's the beef, beer, and babes?
