Question Regarding Steven Hassan Books
by lepermessiah ini just ordered "combating mind control" from an online book seller, but i am having a difficult time finding "releasing the bonds".. i have found it on a few sites, but it is usually going for $40 or more.
(i assume it is now out of print?).
is it worth paying extra for "releasing the bonds" or is most of the material from "combating mind control" enough?.

Funny double standards used by my wife today
by teel inso in an argument we get to the point that the wts has problems.
so what, says her, if you got a meter (or yardstick if you prefer) and one centimeter is missing, are you going to throw it all away?
the same, if from the truth are missing only some pieces, is it not the truth?

I use to have a one yard cloth tape measure that I used for sewing. One day I accidentaly cut off the first inch. No problem i thought, its easy just to mentally add an inch when I measure something.
So I kept that damn tape measure, for years. It caused me no end of trouble and mistakes and wasted materials because I would forget about the missing inch.
I eventually threw the damn thing away and spent $1.99 on a new one, problems solved.
This story is a good analgy about how long it took me to toss the JW religion and how dumb it was to hang on to something that was completely useless and was costing me so dearly.
Excellant comeback Teel!

The cops came and arrested him, but cautioned us not to press charges, because of the possible retribution to us and our families.
WTF!

Passed out from the propane fumes?
I Bro in my old hall passed out from fumes while buffing, I understood it to be the chemicals he was using, not the propane, unfortunately he was working alone and he died leaving a young family.

Tell me why MY VIEW of Christianity is wrong
by Terry ini sometimes think the standard christian view of things is this.. mankind, like the people in new orleans after hurricane katrina, are stranded waiting on aid and god flys over and sees them on the roof waving and holding up signs, but, he can't really do as much as he would like to.. he has some stopgap aid here and there for a few, but, mostly everybody just has to do the best they can to hang on.. like federal aid or the national guard---jesus is coming!
hang on!
jesus is coming!.

Did you ever witness a "green handshake"?
I would always just stick the money in a "thank you" card and give it to him.

The Joy of the coming "Thousand Years"
by Doug Mason ini understand that only the twenty million jws will survive this imminent armageddon.
since the worlds population is about seven billion, this means that each jw man, woman and youth will be left to locate and bury 350 corpses killed at armageddon.. .
these survivors will spend the rest of the following one thousand years teaching the wtss kingdom to resurrected people who previously never had the opportunity.

if 99.9% of a class fails who's fault is it? It's hard to believe that this quantity of executions is a success story.
brilliant!

Abstain from blood _ end of story
How you take it in doesn’t matter – blood is blood , whether it’s thru mouth or into vein
And yet anyone who has eaten meat, has eaten blood.
And so his diffinition of "obstaining" does not apply here.
