my mother in law says nobody really shows up for the bethel speakers at your hall....true? Let us know if anything interesting is said...
the congregation i am associated with is having a high-profile bethelite coming on april 27, 2002.. he is from the blood liason committee.
he is supposed to give major updates and what not.
also, the elder who announced that this bethelite is coming, said that it took a year and a half just to be able to "obtain" this brother.. if anyone wants to know more or would like to attend, just let me know.

i am still fairly new to this site (was raised a jw from 4 til i just stopped going to meetings and moved out of the parents' house @ 17 in 1985).. fortunately i have a good relationship with my parents (i am an only child, which probably helps, not to mention the fact that they continually can't wait to see their grandchildren --3yr old boy and 7 mth old girl) even though they still diligently are full fledged dubs (my dad was an elder for many years before stepping down due to the extremely heavy load of preparing for talks, elders meetings etc, due to time it was taking away from our family).. after reviewing the numerous sites on the web and learning the truth and hypocrisy surrounding the watchtower, there are so many issues that i want to raise with the folks yet haven't mustered up the courage to do so, but that's another topic.. my question for you all is this: what do you think about the idea of anonymously dropping off incriminating documentation at the front door of the kh?
imo there are so many down in the ranks have no clue the stuff about the un, silentlambs info, etc.
someone would be bound to see this stuff, and it could cause a domino effect if received in the right wavering hands (of course the opposite i know could occur with a devout jw who immediately sees it as apostate and discards it down the toitet).. love to hear your thoughts!
I mailed some stuff about the blood issue to my kingdom hall about 2 or 3 years ago, but I have no idea what they did with the information.
you got to love this----------.

my favorite chapter is on how to handle the mics and all of the scriptures cited......what a bunch of delusional, acid taking fools!
perhaps this topic has already been addressed, but at last night's service meeting we discussed an article in the kingdom ministry (jan 2001) called "how will they hear?".
it dealt with the fact that there are perhaps billions worlwide who have not yet been witnessed to.
the articel mentioned that the jws "trust in jehovah" (i guess its always the case when they have no answers) that those people, mostly concentrated in asia (especially china and the sub-continent) will have their hearts read by god and that he will know who are righteous and who are not.
hey biggs, you should have joined us over at badwillie's house....
my wife and I are still taken aback by what you said on the phone to badwillie's wife. I hope the girl who was df'd is ok, my wife says she is very emotional.
i was sorting through my files today and found this piece from 1996 and thought i'd share.. ginny.
diary of an armageddon survivor.
ed thorn, our presiding overseer, told us that those who were missing should have spent more time in field service.. day 2. brother thorn called a special meeting this morning.
badwillie showed me this last night and I had to read it again...thanks for this story. amazing, and not at all far fetched.
next weekend would work for us, flower. hopefully something can work out...
we leave on friday, february 22nd, mister biggs.
Glenside for 2 more weeks, then I'm from Auburn, WA.
guys and girls.
the society have now instituted carnivore - their data tracking system installed into the uk bethel to track all apostate email and activity.
the reason is the amount of "leaks" of confidential mail and facts.. they have tried and failed with legal blocking, so now they are plugging the leaks, these guys were brought into mill hill late last year after the leak of the june 1 letter.. their method is to use message boards and chat rooms for the "disaffected" and get them to go to other "society monitored" web sites.
Come and get me WTS!
