recently i have fallen ill with a serious case of chickenpox (shingles).
three weeks down, high fevers, and the blisters attacked mostly my scalp and face, but then also my whole upper body.
i looked horrid, truly like a mutant monster out of a nuclear disaster.
I feel for you man. Whenever my wife tells me so-and-so said to say hi, or ask me how I am, I always respond "They have my phone number, don't they?"
To which she just laughs, and changes the subject.
These poor people simply do not have the capacity for compassion. Their brains have been washed clean of any substantial emotion.
Hang in there, glad you're feeling better.
the jw broadcasting barrel that is.
easy to do.
too easy.
this short video has interesting statistics (without any citations or references available) i.e.
"there are 5.9 billion searches on google",...."to whom were these questions asked bg (before google)?".
"time it took to reach a market audience of 50 million?

I was thinking the exact same thing this morning.
hot topic on topix seems to be candace conti settlement.
but it's all quiet here.
are you guys aware that your hero, who was not in it for the money but to change policies, settled without changing anything?
"Your hero".
You mean the victim of a heinous crime is being grossly under compensated for the physical, emotional, and spiritual damage done to a young child leaving indelible scars?
But guess what, you say she had no effect, however you're talking about it...

Hold Me, Thrill Me,
We're not just talking about a few animals dying of natural causes here. How many animals were supposedly sacrificed on a daily basis, for over 2 million people, over a 40 year period? Millions? More?
Just the daily lamb slaughter by the priest would have amounted to over 40,000 lambs slaughtered.
This doesn't include sin offering. How often did 2 million + people make individual sin offerings? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Say 500,000 are children. That's 1.5 million people making a sin offering at least once a month. 16 million animals varying from bulls to pigeons killed yearly.
This doesn't include voluntary offerings.
Seems like a lot of animals to dispose of in such a dry climate with nothing to show for it.

You can't really call them nomads when it was supposedly 2 million people, continuing to have children and grow in population every year, moving around in a fixed area over 40 years.
Look at what happened at the original woodstock after just a few days.
40 years and not a single trace? How many animals did they supposedly sacrifice on a daily basis? Where are those remains? How many people died in that time frame? Where are their remains? How much trash do 2 million + people produce on a daily basis? Not a single trace? No broken pottery? Not a single speck of evidence they were ever there?
dear members,.
i am an investigative journalist with the australian public broadcaster, the abc.
we are currently gathering information from members of the jehovah's witnesses who experienced sexual abuse as children and adolescents in australia.
There are several Australian users at the ex JW subreddit (link).
are there any changes to the new procedure?
it seems to me that the co doesn't ask the candidate questions any longer.
they just decide who they will appoint and announce it at the next weekly meeting.
we pulled into a hotel parking lot saturday around 6pm on the return leg of a wonderful family vacation to new england - an then fate stepped in---a man in a suit got out of a car with the rest of a picture perfect family.
i immediately noticed all the name tags--- and my blood pressure spiked 50pts- damn!!
i was booked in a 4 story hotel full of jws-- the only time they took off the name tags was in the swimming pool- they were so proud of themselves.. at 6:30 am the hot water went cold in the wife's shower- what do you expect on the 4th floor when a herd of jws is trying to get ready at the same time?
You my friend, are a rock star. I hope one day I have the courage to do the same thing!
Awesome! This made my day.
i can understand why someone who was born of jovie parents would want to leave jovie world.
i can see why someone who had joined jovie world would want to leave.
after all, why would you want to stay in such an evil institution?.
