Take care dude.

well, i've reached my goal of 2000+ posts and have decided to move on.
i've never felt that i've contributed much here, anyway, and since my background is not jw, it's easy to see why some here see me as an interloper and trespasser.
i may look in from time to time and (to be polite) be involved in threads i've started, but i need to get a life outside this board.
Take care dude.

as of 8:30 pm this evening the appeal hearing decided to uphold the decision.
i spoke to them for over an hour and tried to reason with them as to the validity of their decision.
frankly, they were not interested.
minimus aside, at least you wont have to carry around that doublewide elders bag anymore.
Take care old friend.

i'm not sure what has happened to me today of all days, but i just can't fight back the tears.
i guess it must be the pretence fatigue kicking in.
Hi Matty.
You are one of the nicest and most polite posters on this board IMHO.
Just wanted to let you know how much you are appreciated by me.
And you're no phoney!
Dino
can someone tell me if there is a clear statement, preferably from the u.n., that shows the watchtower's dishonesty in this matter?
not long ago, i was discussing the u.n. situation with a jw friend.
he decided to call the wt legal department in this country.
Hey ole' bud.
Check your email ASAP.
Thanks.
Dino
Hawk, youve got mail!
Take care my friend.

after some yrs, i've acquired quite a library of wt publications, as have many of you all i'm sure.
how did you rid yourself of them after you felt you no longer wanted anything wt related?
amazon, ebay, local book store, sell them back to brothers, burn them at apostate party, other...?.
Whatcha got b.a.?
Dino
please don't be turned off because this is rather creepy and has "reference" only to the occult.
because the information was found on a website that i got from a post on this forum.
i was curious.
Hello Lucid Sky and good Sunday morning.
I personally feel that some of the claimed subliminals are a stretch.
However, look in your "You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth" book published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., copyright 1982, 1989.
Turn to page 19 and you will see an obviously occultic pyramid shaped piece of jewelry clutched by the thief running from the policeman.
This illustration is unique in that the piece of jewelry is in plain sight. It is not below the threshold of comprehension, which is what the word "subliminal" usually connotes.
However, it is subliminal in that the spiritistic "gnostic gem" pictured is completely out of character with the overall theme of the picture. Why insert that in there?
Oh, and btw, a "gnostic gem" reduced to 10% of it's original size, still looks like a "gnostic gem".
Have a good one.
Dino
