anyone hear of or know of any jw's or exjw's who've won a large lottery prize?............i know of one jw who won close to half a million $us dollars and now he's like "jehovah who?...whos jehovah?
" lol
And when the elders come crawling out of the woodwork like so many roaches, I'm gonna challenge them to prove from the Bible and the Bible only that I did anything wrong. Until then they can just shut the f*** up and leave me alone .....
You don't need to win a lottery to do that.

just a brief observation.
the whole feng shui thing is really going mainstream.
everywhere everyone is trying to order their world using priciples of the ancient philosophy.
Anewme, I believe there is balance if one has a true relationship with God, the only one who knows our hearts and why we do things.
There is balance between worship of objects and appreciating the talent of art. If one finds personal joy in the beauty of a flower or a sculpture someone has constructed, it can lead a person closer to worship of the one who originally created those objects or gave humans the ability to construct them.
The ones who constantly search for the scriptures to prove another wrong or point out their sins are the ones who should be looking for the balance in life and placing their energies in creative beauty, not finding fault with others.

Thanks Blondie, that article was also shown to me when the brothers said I should stop selling these items in my store and stop using the elements in my floral and garden designs because it was considered spiritism.
Of course the discussion took place right after their own wives had bought fountains, wind chimes, and tranquility candles for their homes

Check into Michael C. Ruppert's book, "Crossing the Lubicon." It's about 911 and who he fingers.
Just to set the record straight... Mike Ruppert wrote Crossing the Rubicon. Paul Martin wrote Crossing the Lubicon having nothing to do with 9/11... same as the WT pics have nothing to do with it. Pics like this have surfaced many times since 9/11, they're without substance and in this case, used just as a by-product of hatred for the WTS.
For the facts about the 9/11 cover up, research the internet. Talk and listen to those who witnessed the attacks. Read the insights of those who with prior knowledge to 9/11. Take Rig Boy's advice: Open your eyes and ears.
Read some of the writers who aren't concerned with being on best-seller lists. Listen to other than mainstream news...read up on Operation Mockingbird. The truth and facts, not theories and speculation, are all there.
Now...... on to the REAL conspiracy --
Here's a conspiracy. I started a thread which seems to have dissappeared...
What DID happen to Benjamin's thread??????????????

it was on another thread (jwfacts' one about his jc meeting) that i posted a personal experience and it occurred to me, that although it is well behind me and i don't dwell on it (much!
), it may be of some help to those who visit here and are unsure what they think about their jw beliefs.. i wrote:.
mrs ozzie and i agreed to have a representative from bethel come to visit us as a friend.
Oh Ozzie, what horrible words for anyone to say, for a parent to have to hear and live with.
Thank you for sharing this experience, you've no doubt spared others some of the pain you've suffered. I hope knowing that will help heal your hurt.
I saw this last night, didn't respond because I was holding my child close to me.
willow
my wife and i are both out.
her parents and my parents are all still in... not only that but my parents aren't balanced enough to handle the kids so they are right out!
her mom's health is bad but i think they could handle the kids but the would "try" to raise them as witnesses, nothing we could leave in writing or say would change that!
You should name someone immediately, especially if you don't want the children to go to the next of kin, or in the event the next of kin die or become disabled or sickly. You may have the option to stipulate legal guardians in addition to next of kin for child custody. You can also specify religious training in a legal document. If you're concerned and don't trust the guardians to the childrens' religious training, establish a trust account providing for education in a parochial school that will be binding until they are of age.
It's not pleasant to think about, but please, plan for your childrens' futures now. You have no way of knowing what tomorrow might bring...

Also depends a lot on what one wants to see....

i haven't posted anything for a while on jwd due to being busy with work and school, but this email was to much of a crack up not to post.
this was sent to my wife today from her old jw friend.
she forwarded it to me and i'm posting it with her permission.
SOME WILL BE SENT OUT AS SPECIAL PIONEERS, SOME CIRCUIT AND DISTRICT OVERSEERS, SOME AS PIONEERS...EVEN THE ELDERLY WILL BE ASSIGNED TO DO PHONE TERRITORY.
Maybe this is in response to some of the damage and wrongs that are being committed by the shepherds at local halls Perhaps Bethel has heard the cries of the sheep?. Would that be so bad?
does the wtachtower baptise the mentally ill ?
it sure seems like it with all the new freaks here making claims of being prophets and jesus etc.....is this how low they will go to get their numbers up ?
it really makes me wonder.......
If they for some reason did not baptise people based on their mental condition(and who is going to decide that?) then you would be hollering that they are discriminating.
The same ones will decide who also determine if one's "heart condition" qualifies them for baptism. Or perhaps a special committee of experienced brothers and sisters should be formed to determine mental stability.
Or would that be judging others????
Funny, I was under the impression baptism was a matter between an individual and God....that's the way it seemed in the Bible.
