Good for you Funchback, I went about it another way....towards the end if I was assigned mics for a month, I made sure to not show up the entire month...I was taken off of the list about 10 months before I moved (nobody said anything to me though - good work Scott Shmidheiser, Dan Brusha, Jim Ritchie, Mr. Mulwinny and whoever else is an elder at Willow Grove, PA!)
I also "forgot" that I had the #4 talk two times in a row and I was never given a talk for the last 6 months I attended!

JW kids molesting kids......
by Smiles inwe know thw jw congregations have concealed adult pedophiles.
recently, we have been made aware that jw congregations are concealing the youngest of pedophiles, even ages 4-8.. unfortunately, most of the children have been molested themselves by either another jw or an non-jw.
but the molested children themselves are now molesting other children, while they "play" alone together at private homes or even outside the kingdom halls at night after meetings.. the parents and grandparents of the children are aware of the inappropiate behavior of their own children.

Masturbation was RULED OUT!! what could be a healthy outlet, was condemned and highly discouraged. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it a disfellowshipping offense?
You are wrong. Don't know where you got that from. You cannot be disfellowshipped for this.
The congregations I attended growing up - HATBORO, PA and WARMINSTER, PA had serious problems with kids molesting other kids.

I grew my hair obnoxiously long
My wife and I started taking the King James bible to meetings
We made it a point to miss one meeting a week (at least!)
For the last year, we never went out in service
I tried to give only bible based answers - if i answered at all
We started saying little "apostate" things to our friends

The Curse of Philly
by DIM inyou have to be kidding me.
the eagles have looked terrible all day, and donovan looks much worse this week than last week.
i don't know why i get my hopes up w/ the flyers, sixers, eagles, and phillies.

I'm a die hard Flyers, Sixers, and Eagles fans, but I found it very easy to forget about the Phillies once I moved out to Seattle...Safeco Field is an amazing field (hopefully what Philly is aspiring towards Funchback!) and once I saw Ichiro throw someone out at home from the outfield, i'm a Mariners fan!
I don't wanna second guess Reid, but man I was hoping for KOY once the 4th quarter rolled around - Donovan looked like how I thought he'd look last week!

Will You Be the Next King (or Queen)?
by Funchback inafter watching 'lotr: the two towers' for the second time, i made a wonderful correlation.. .
he was the one who was under a spell from saruman.
he had scales over his eyes and he was merely a puppet (so to speak).

good for you funchback....i noticed many correlations between the LOTR and the WTS. Ironically, although many Jw's in your area feel it is demonic, Tolkien actually took many of his ideas from the bible.
although i've known the truth about the truth for a few years, nothing made me happier when it clicked with my wife....we've lost alot but have gained even more....

by badboy in.

NFL Playoffs: Week-By-Week Predictions
by Funchback inso, here are my first round playoff predictions (as if any of you care...lol!
colts 23, jets 15 (the jets had their super bowl vs. the packers).
packers 21, falcons 17 (i have a hunch that atlanta may pull the upset but you can't root against the pack at lambeau).

Ain't no way the Eagles blow the game this weekend, McNabb has been playing up his injury, he's gonna torch the Falcons. They will win by 2 touchdowns, i'd bet my wife's Ford Focus on it
