  mrs ozzie and i visited the home of her swim coach on sunday.

  he lives nearby a large kingdom hall which accommodates several large city congregations, yet he says that he's never been visited by the dubs.

  no, never, in the more than two years he's lived there!

  So here he is, living around 400 metres from a Kingdom Hall and he, though never connected in any way with the Witnesses i.e. a true "worldly™" person, has never had the Witnesses at his door, not even a tract in the mailbox!

  Struth some people have all the luck!

  Oh and Susanhere your pathetic little put down would show your heart too I think. I was very dedicated to the LDS although only young, I was baptised at 8 and the church felt I was at an age of understanding did'nt they ? So all events were very clear to me as I was so wrapped up in LDS ,giving Sacraments, talks etc and only left when forced to by my father .

  Qcmbr

  Well I'm sorry to see you chose the course you did in responding to questions that I asked Lisa, you should read my post again and if you can get past your ignorance you might see that I was pointing back to a time past.

  This all happened before you were born and your attitude has been similar to my genuine questions (NOT LOADED LANGUAGE) that missionaries have shown to me recently - that of ignorance (look it up ,it means LACK OF KNOWLEGE).

  These events and beliefs were from a long time ago and they had a problem too coming to grips with these facts. When I asked them to return after checking out some of the old beliefs they never came back.

  So that is why I asked Lisa...you, Qcmbr really show your immaturity in YOUR language and lack of understanding anothers viewpoint ,as all these things actually did happen and I was a witness to all. When the Elders came to my mother at the hall to collect the tythe OWING they had a large accounts book with the congregations tythe records and gave her forcefully a manilla envelope to put money in explaining she would have to find it from her house keeping money my father gave her ...I was there with her and also was with her when she approached my father for the money when we got home! He was not happy and told her no and to keep the missionaries away from his home.

  If you don't believe me so be it , you would just prove again what religious cultism can do to peoples minds just like the JW's.,what do they call it ...Cognitive Dissonance sounds pretty close I guess.

  You have'nt done LDS any favours by responding to my genuine questions in the way you did ....but I will concede that I've seen a lot worse in the JW"S. You see I have many fond memories of my LDS time such as the sport ,the MIA etc .

  Lisa

  I can only assume you follow Qcmbr 's course in answering the questions .It's funny how some people will defend at all costs some things that actually DID happen before they were born and never question whether their organization was actually saying and doing these things. All I can say is I'm glad I was'nt an African American Mormon in the 50's and 60's

  Hi ElderBarry,

  I,ve been both, as a kid ,a Mormon ,a deacon

  Please answer this

  A:Negroes were refused preisthood and marraige in the temples and especially to white people - this command given thru the "prophets"...but oh look some of this changed laterso God must have made a mistake mmm..?

  B:After living on dog bones and charity because my unbelieving father was unemployed for months with no government relief ,the Elders kept track od the 10% tythe and demanded it of my mother when father got back to work...is that cruel or what?

  C:Of all the missionaries that stayed with us only one when going back to the States did'nt become a homosexual ,and he was Bi! What's going on here?

  D: Years ago 60 minutes did a show on Mormon homosexual men and in the process of the church "helping" them to overcome this the "treatment" was to expose them to electric shock to their genitals when aroused watching porno movies! How Christian is that ?

  I could go on but I don't want to seem as though I'm attacking you as I'm not but sincerely would like to hear your view. None of this is hearsay and to me these organisations just show how controlling and demonic they are.

  Did'nt any of you Americans watch "Bowling for Columbine" and the point where it was shown that you had over 11,000 gun associated murders in one year and compare that to other countries, like here where we had only about 65 I think.

  Even if you say you have more population and multiply 65 x 13 times the pop. you still only get 845 and they asked the question "WHY"

  Well I'd guess at the joking here about this sort of intimidation shows where Americans are at don't you think?

  I guess it's an Americans right to hate black skinned people too ...look at your history!

  Restrangled

  Yes you are getting restrangled and I can empathize with you .My son was difficult too thru his teenage years just like that ,expecting everthing the easy way and it is a constant battle.

  When do I give in, when don't I ,he's so bright and got potential, feeling guilty for putting them thru the JW process and then leaving.....the battle is not with them so much as with yourselfI think!

  At 17 he had to redo high school but because I was broke he had to work to put himself thru as at that stage I could'nt help him.

  They can smell the gravy train though when things get better and work on you. In the end I did all I could and found out it is thankless unless you stop giving and do something practical to get them to carry their own load...with mine I made him work at my trade and he hated it , but as I pointed out to him he had money in his pocket for his nice things THAT HE HAD EARNED.

  Eventually he moved on to another trade and did it all by himself amazing what they can do if THEY want to.

  Hope this helps

  How about putting sentimentalism aside and consider that he was a authority figure of a Satanic system of cruelty and no doubt had his chance at ignoring the pleas of molested witness kids and adults just the same as the others! And searing his conscience to overcome doing what is Christian and doing the bidding of a bunch of ignorant cruel indecent Governing Body members.

  And what about the immorality of expecting others to provide a home and medical care till his finish?.Did he really think it's OK to pay no taxes and then put the hand out if the GB finishes him?

  And what about the Org expecting the Government to pay for Watchtower retirees after they contribute nothing because of their tax exempt status?
