  Another change?

  just recently my husband was visiting with a friend of ours, who still has some witness connections and is dfed.

  he said that his mother and other witness family members have called him.

  they said that the society is now encouraging ones with dfed or inactive family members to call them an encourage them to come back.

  Sounds like a desperate attempt to quell the rather large exodus that is occuring. Has anyone else heard this?

  ive used many expletives in my life, especially when ive hit my finger with a hammer!

  however, ive seen some words and expressions used recently on this board that should be edited-out in my humble opinion!

  okay, if you absolutely need to use a curse word, just put the first letter then some ***.

  I do my fair share of swearing and I have on occasion sworn on this board. Especially when someone makes a deal out of it. Then I want to really swear. IMHO, I think the bigger deal you make of it, the more people do it. It is like saying "Don't touch that" all you want to do is touch it. You ask someone not to swear and the first reaction you get is someone swearing.

  Also, I have noticed that since leaving the organization I swear more than I ever did. I think it is a sort of rebellion. And I think that there are far worse things for me to do.

  Sorry if in the past my swearing has been offensive.

  Another thing, can someone tell me what the "C" word is. I think I know but not for sure.

  I have met quit a few from the Texas area but I am hoping to make it to the July fest and meet Little Toe. He always has something interesting to say and then of course there will be the accent. (Don't tell my husband I just said that. haha) Also, Uncle Bruce and Auld Soul. And Es seems like a really sweet person. Actually, it would be fun to meet everyone. Maybe someday.

  I got a chance to see it in theater twice in London. Once from the nose bleed section in '98, and once from 2nd row in '01. I have 5 tickets for my kids and roommate and I in first balcony next month here in the US and 2 from higher up for next month also! Trying to get a friend to go with me for the 2nd set.

  I love the play but I found the book to be very difficult. The initial part with M. Welcome was very enjoyable but there was so much information on characters that only played a minor part in the book. I enjoyed the twists but the endless volumes of information was difficult for me to get through.

  Congrats on getting to see the play again. Our area doesn't get that much theater activity, though, I wish it did.

  For Intensity:

  Still Life of Crows - Preston & Child

  Cabinet of Curiosity - Preston & Child

  Brimstone - Preston & Child (This one wasn't as intense but had some really interesting research on the Stratovarius violins)

  Dance of Death - Preston & Child

  Digital Fortress - Dan Brown

  Dean Koontz is also good for intensity. Though I would recommend his audio books for long trips. The stories really keep you awake.

  Starting to read:

  Dante's Inferno

  A Novel Ireland - Frank Delaney

  And Kathleen Woodweiss is a decent romance novelist. But I only read that when I am really looking for something that I can put down.

  One of my favorite books is Benjamin Blake. Sea adventure

  And I agree with a previous poster, all of Jane Austen's works are very enjoyable.

  Hardest book I have ever read is Les Miserables - Victor Hugo - took me an entire year to finish that book.

  I really enjoy Dickens works as well. Oliver Twist is among my favorites.

  And I love Silas Marner by George Eliot.

  Louis L'amors Bendigo Shafter is a nice read as well.

  Also, Underworld by Neil Gaiman. Everyone that we passed this book to loved it.

  I could go on forever, I love to read.

  Getting df'd for telling others about the WTS and the UN fiasco

  by proandcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not too long ago in a local congregation in massachusetts, two people were df'd for telling others about the wts involvement with the un...anyone else hear of this happenning in your area?

  i guess teling othere the truth about the wts is not allowed either.

  the lack of honesty and humility in this group never ceases to amaze me.

  My parents were both dfed for their stand on the UN/Watchtower fiasco. May 1st, 2006. They weren't even telling people about it. The elders just wouldn't leave them alone.

  Now my parents are planning on having the local newspaper print articles about the whole thing.
