We moved from Philadelphia to Seattle last year....my only tip is make sure your car is in tip top shape, make sure the timing belt has been changed if your car has over 60,000 miles....have fun, drink lots of coffee!

My mom in Pennsylvania called to wish us a happy anniversary tonight (4 years!) and used this chance to preach her garbage to me....she knows very well how I feel about everything, but I decided to be civil towards her. She said how nice it was that inactive people were coming back to the meetings. When I replied that it was because they were scared of being destroyed by her loving god, she just shrugged it off. She wants to send me the new publication from last year as well as a recent watchtower....i told her not to bother, but she can do what she wants. She kept going on and on about how this war is "it" and how the United States has never done anything like this...blah blah blah. Bizarre statement of the phone conversation:
"My friend and I were discussing how its too bad its now, because I really really wanted to see The Return of the King"!!!!!!!!

Got my elders visit yesterday...
by meat pie ini've been off-line for a bit, broken what-not in the computer,just got back on so i thought i'd tell you what happened yesterday.elder d rang to ask if 'we' could visit, ok says i, the other is the old ms who i studied with.
meantime i'd got my file on un/wts ready(it's been ready for ages) and primed husband to witness the entertainment.this went on for about an hour and a half.i was utterly in control of myself and the entire interrogation(me of them).neither of them would look at any of my evidence of the wt's blasphemous hypocrisy, so i read it out to them,(you come to my house so i'm going to tell you this) they tried to wriggle their way out but i wanted them to admit their weakness.
i really let them have it.they parried i thrusted.

They don't really care, and won't acknowledge anything you say to them. They'll just think you are attacking the WTS, which is synonymous with attacking God (Jehovah) to them.

This War Could Put A Crimp In WT Prophecy
by ColdRedRain inremember when we were taught that the un was the "scarlet colored wild beast" and how she would turn on"false religion"?
if this war goes successful (and it probably will.
) they say that the un will dissolve or never again be like it once was.

I don't really see the UN going away, just possibly being an organization with much less power. Of course, if factions of Sadaams regime survive, doesn't this raise the possibility of civil war in Iraq in the future?

knowing my condition is the reason i must change.

I Get Out
I get out
I get out of all your boxes
Il get out, you can't hold me in these chains
I get out
Father free me from this bondage
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
Your stinking resolution is no type of solution
Preventing me from freedom
Maintaining your pollution
I won't support your lie no more
I won't even try no more
Oh If I have to die oh lord that's how I choose to live
I won't be compromised no more
I can't be victimized no more
I just don't sympathize no more
Cause now I understand you just want to use me
You say love, then abuse me
You never thought you'd lose me
But how quickly we forget
That nothing is for certain
You thought I'd stay here hurtin
Your guilt trips just not working
Repressing me to death
Cause now I'm choosing life yo
I'll take the sacrifice yo
If everything must go then go
That's how I chose to liveNo more comprises
I see past your disguises
Blinding me through mind control
Stealing my eternal soul
Appealing through material
Oh just to keep me as your slave
But I get out, oh I get out of all of your boxes I get out
Oh you can't hold me in these chains, I'll get out
Of this social pergutory
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
See what you see is what you get
And oh, you ain't seen nothing yet
Oh, I don't care if you're upset
I could care less if you're upset
see it don't change the truth
And your hurt feelings no excuse
To keep me in this box
Psychological locks
Repressing true expression
Cementing this repression
Promoting mass deception
So that no one can be healed
I don't respect your system
I won't protect your system
When you talk I don't listen
Oh let my Fathers will be done
And just get out,
Oh just get out of all this bondage
Just get out, oh you can't hold me in these chains
Just get out
These traditions killing freedom
Knowing my condition is the reason I must change
I just accepted what you said
Keeping me amongst the dead
The only way to know
Is to walk then learn then grow
But faith is not your speed
You'd have everyone believe
That you're the sole authority
Just follow the majority
Afraid to face reality
This system is a joke
You'd be smart to save your soul
And escape this mind control
You spend your life in sacrifice
To a system for the dead
Where's the passion in this living
Are you sure it's God you're serving
Obligated to a system
Getting less than you're deserving
Who made up these rules I say
Who made up these schools I say
Animal conditioning just to keep you as a slave
Oh just get out of this social purgatory
Just get out
These traditions are a lie- just get out
Superstition killing freedom,
knowing my condition is the reason I must die
Just get out, just get out, just get out, lets get out, lets get out,
Knowing my condition is the reason I must die. -

1 year later
by DIM inwell its been a little over 1 year since my wife moved from pa to wa in hopes of starting a new life....its amazing how things and people change over time.
we've basically become much much happier people without the awful influence of the wts...so relaxed in fact, that my wife is now pregnant and we are starting a family...i guess my "guys" worked alot better w / out the stress of the wts....strange how people change too, one of our best friends, "collegegirl", isn't really close to us anymore and we've made a bunch of friends out here...i guess satan really does bless good people.
yeah!

I remember when I was a kid my mom told me about an experience where somehow the cartoon VOLTRON was actually based on the life of a demon named - you guessed it - VOLTRON. I'm not sure what the exact story was though.
In October, 2001, when I was still a (barely) active JW, a circuit overseer by the name of Bro. Dentler (can't remember his first name) announced off of stage at the Willow Grove, PA congregation that many many people had already received tainted blood as a result of the 9/11 attacks. It seemed like a blatant lie to me at the time, and in fact, he hesitated right before he said it. In hindsight, it was a blatant lie. I should have asked who his sources were...

What is your worst fear?
by Scully ina recent death in my family triggered my worst fear - as irrational as it may sound - into a very real possibility.. let me explain: as a global culture, we simply accept that when someone dies, those who care about them will want to gather and offer a meaningful tribute to the person and those who survive them.
with regard to my recently deceased family member - her own children decided against holding a memorial service for her surviving family, which included two children and their respective spouses, eight grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren.
yes, we are spread out over 2000 miles.
