Nah Talesin, I looked him right in the eye. I guess it's just my nature, but I believe in pleases and thank-yous, and to exceed people's expectations. But I'm not one to allow one letdown affect my outlook.

It depends. In January of 2003 I went to Toronto with a buddy of mine to catch a Sabres/Leafs game. Since we ended up with about ten dollars each of Canadian funny money we gave it to a homeless dude sitting by himself. You shoulda seen his eyes light up and he kept yelling THANK YOU as we walked away. When in downtown Minneanapolis earlier this year I gave a dude a dollar when he just asked for a quarter and when I saw him again about an hour later he looked right through me. Unappreciative bastard. Hopefully I won't be homeless myself by the end of the year.

My comment had nothing to do with you personally. It was in reference to this History Channel crap program. Quit being so paranoid.

Is The Governing Body Of JW's Deliberately Deceiving People?
by Honesty in.
i find it very hard for me to believe that the governing body is unaware that many of the wtbts teachings and doctrines are not only deceiving people but are also spiritually, mentally and physically harming them as well.
what are your thoughts and comments?

Kwin's right. it's about power. The GB are fully entrenched in who they think they are. As Ray Franz put it (paraphrasing here): It is a matter of the deceived leading the deceived.

No longer here to irritate.
by defd ini have been talking to a few people here privately and i came to the decision that i will not post anymore here.
those few individuals i talked to were nice and the way they were treated by the "friends" was all too familiar to me and it makes me truely sad.
i also see that some on here are not so nice.

Nice cheap shot, EvilForce. Also far from true. Where'd you get your awful handle from, anyway?

Hello!
by Narkissos inwell, i'm finally back before my usual computer after a few weeks away.
not all of it fun, but some of it pleasant though.. however jwd was on my mind and i've been thinking of many online friends here -- especially ian (dansk) and mario (utopianreformist).
sometimes i managed to get updates from public internet access.. to be true, i've been around for a couple of days now and read a few topics (some very interesting), but strangely i didn't feel like engaging in biblical, theological or philosophical discussions as i used to do.

*** w87 10/15 p. 29 Opening the Way to Increase in Gibraltar ***
In one case a young Witness, ignoring the counsel from the Author of marriage, started dating a local girl who was not a member of the congregation. But the patient help of the elders in the congregation made him think more seriously about the dangers involved. Finally, he approached his girlfriend and told her that although he felt strong affection for her, his Bible knowledge obligated him to terminate their relationship. ‘I want to marry a girl with whom I can live forever, not just for a few years,’ he explained.

How's that for disgusting? And this guy said this at least 18 years ago.

Why did the WTBTS not sue Ray Franz?
by Gill inif ray franz had been lying in anything he said in both of his books, c of c and in search of christian freedom, surely the wtbts would have sued him.
why did they take no legal action against him?.
could it be that this legalistic corportion realised he had lied about nothing?

And, I bet in 1982 some in the Writing Dept. and so forth, maybe even the GB lke Swingle (R.I.P.) probably genuinely liked Ray. I mean, they didn't even have to give him10 grand. Edited to fix some egregarious typos.
