This is all so typical of AI. The "gimics" win and the talent leaves. But as was said earlier the winners turn out to be the real losers. The only winner to have a real carrer has been Kelly. But that was after she left Simons control. Chris has the best voice this season. Elliot and Taylor are also good, but they are not great. Taylor knows he is going to win, and he has known that for the past three weeks. His whold attitude has changed as the weeks go by.(Go back and watch) However when Taylor wins he will put out one album and then before his first tour is over he will fade into the -Why were they then- file. Kat is just a very pritty girl and they did not want to lose her yet. But she will be gone this week, unless Elliot get sick or falls down.

Hi Georgia,
Let's make this real easy, next time you see him tell someone, even if they are a total stranger, that this guy is following you. Act really scared. If he accually talks to you start screaming hystericly- "Leave me alone, stop following me, help police!" Draw as much attantion to him as you can, again act scared. He will very quickly back off and he may get his butt kicked. The leaset would be he would looked like a real ass once people look at him and he starts to run away.
Remember as long as you avoid and "shun" them then you are obeying them and their rules. If they are nice and good people I will show them respect, and return in kind. I will not however play their games. If they are asses I confrount them and make them hide.
LOL

NWT 2 Corinthians 5:20
by TheListener inin 2 corinthians 5:20 the nwt says, "we are therefore ambassadors substituting for christ, as though god were making entreaty through us.
as substitutes for christ we beg: "become reconciled to god.".
i could not locate any other bible translations that have the word "substituting" in the text.

If they are sub-ing for Christ then why does he need ro return? Follow me on this for a moment.
In 1914 Christ viewed all the worlde religions and found only the Witnesses doing the right thing. We all know that very little of what they believed then is still taught today. So they, the subs, improved Gods message, and therefore don't need Christ.
What a bunch of arrogant asses.

I do believe that for me and many others that being a JW or having family become JW's has been the worsh thing that has "happened" to us. But I do believe that those uf us who were not born into it, we would fully admit that the responsibility/blame is our own, since we made the desicion to join. However if someone makes a mistake in their life and then tries to correct that mistake, it does not give others the right to interfear with that person or their family. And yes the shunning does interfear with peoples lifes, even if it is only held to on occation.

Is there any way we can find out if the local elders knoew of this before hand. It would be hard to hide being beat with electrical cords. If it was reported to even one elder of MS then they are just as guilty.
God I hate them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I'm just fed up with all their poop!

by RichieRich ini work at target.

Hi Richie,
Sorry for all the crap your going through. I would like to make one suggestion if I may- when they come and talk to you don't tell them your out or what ever. Even if your not at work. Don't let them have the satisfaction thinking that you still believe they have authority over you. You just go on being the cool guy you are and if they want to keep other witnesses away from you let them do their own dirty work. Whatever you do we support you. Take care.

I mean really, besides changing some stupid rules now and then what is there for a JW to learn? How many Biblical truths or new understandings have come out in the last 3,5,or 10, years? They keep on "studying" and yet they learn nothing new. How many ways can it be said, and still remain the least bit interesting, that JW's are good and non JW's are bad.
Just posing the question

They want to convince themselves that everything they think, do, or say is 'Approved" by Jehovah. And want to make sure that we know that everything we think, do, or say is from Satan. Apprarence is another biggie, by again who are they trying to convince? I know most of them can recite all the canned responces and seem to be in the know. But for all the time and effort they put in to learning WT dogma you would think grown people would have more things to do. So I am sure that they are trying to convince themselves. I know I was when I was there.

I would say that my wife donates about $200-$400 a year.
And yet she has been "counceled" not to report this to the IRS under chairitable donations as the Government might try and get it from the WT. They use the "If you give give in secret", crap. But then they want you to report your crime.
