Offer To Help With CBC Fifth Estate

by reporter in

i am going to digitally capture this video and offer it in possibly two sizes, one for broadband and one for dial-up users.

i have access to digital video capture equipment and a digital cbc feed, and as you know, the quality vs. tapes does not degrade.

the larger mpeg capture will be able to be transferred to dvd, in s-video quality, with or without commercials.

40 Years of Mental Terrorism

by Dogpatch in

passing this on.... mental terrorism.

i am writing about a danger which is very real.

there are people, who may be grieving, who may be suffering from depression, who feel an emptiness, who feel a spiritual longing, who want hope in a world that seems hopeless, and others who are very vulnerable to this danger.

Dia

Very eloquent.

We share your rage.

Just around the corner is the realization (from the song, 'Go Up Moses'), 'Without you, there is no Pharaoah, so all you have to do to let him go is let him go'.

It's almost TOO easy. And that's the real horror of it.

But you will see, there is MUCH life ahead of you.

While you're trying to get away from them, mentally, take some time to try to fill up those now empty spaces with new, good things.

There is a whole world of beautiful things for you to learn about, experiment with and to try. Everything they took away from you and more things you never even knew existed.

Not that it will all be a bed of roses. But when you fall down, get back up again.

Your life is beginning.

And we've all been there.

Thank you for your very beautiful words. Eloquent.

Nothing Hurts Like This

james: .

though i may, on more than a few occasions, have questioned whether or not i wanted to be one of jehovahs witnesses and i may at some point decide that i dont, i can assure you that i would never contact you again.

it is really unfortunate that you felt the need to post our email exchanges on jw.com because to be honest with you, i actually thought that you may have been sincerely interested in me as a person.

Dia

Lady C - we ARE interested in you as a person.

Please don't feel embarassed or ashamed by the indiscretion.

He, and now we, are just looking out for you.

Because we care.

New JW sex abuse lawsuit

by Nathan Natas in

http://www.globe.com/dailyglobe2/001/metro/suit_charges_church_coverup+.shtml

suit charges church coverup.

jehovah's witness group is blamed in abuse of girl.

Dia

I love the fact that they're going after their policy as 'illegal'.

Yes, by what right do they set themselves up the investigators? And by what right do they withhold evidence from the justice system?

This will be a red flag to everyone that necessary laws need to be put in place and then USED!

Elders? Ministerial servants? Pioneers

by lv4fer in

jw
friends

i'm just curious.

how many of you were elders or ministerial servants or pioneers?

were you an elder or ms or pioneer when you realized it wasn't the truth or a had you stepped down already, were you "weak" when you realized it?

Dia

Wow, rem. Read through your questions and also your reading list.

Excellent.

I think those questions and that letter should be be put into every jw's mailbox or on every windshield with an anonymous request to 'please help'.

What is the GOOD NEWS, for JW's

by jst2laws in

for 36 years i preached the 'good news of the kingdom established in 1914'.

jehovahs witnesses believe and declare that the kingdom was established in the heavens in 1914, they persist in preaching this good news of the kingdom.

*** w89 8/15 13 opening up the way back to paradise ***.

Dia

'I'm saved and you're not, na-na-na-na-na-na!'

I think that's the good news for JWs.

By the way, isn't that going to leave the world with an awful lot of very fat, well-fed birds - who happen to have really acquired a taste for human flesh?

Evil SMURFS!!

i am having problems with thispost.

it will return shortly.edited by - happy_guy_of_goodness on 28 december 2002 22:24:41.

Am I really the only one who can see the superficially smiling, 'public personna' side of a two-faced sexual pervert when I look at a smurf doll?

There's a scarey thought (that I'm the only one).

No wonder JWs are freaked out by them. They would strike a chord.
