JW Media Press Release Service

by Eyebrow in

jw
friends

i signed up at the jw media.org site to have press releases emailed to me.

i am curious if i will get any that are not favorable...we will see.

the one i got today is as follows:.

I seriously doubt the Watchtower will ever print anything unfavorable to them, unless for appeal. After all, they are God's favored twits!
I put up things favorable, but the stuff that comes out of JW Media is boring crap for the most part.

How do you find exJW groups in your area?

by Eyebrow in

jw
friends

i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to find out if there are any groups in my area.

where would i begin to look?.

i am a little bit nervous, because i don't want to get involved with people who are looking only to berate the witnesses...but people who are getting on with there lives after leaving.

Dogpatch

Here ya is. Actually I just updated the exJWs database, with about 1800 entries. No spamming, please! I understand JahChristian and others have been doing this in spite of warnings.
But there are groups listed at:

Smurf Story 1: One fellow Witness woman I knew was very paranoid about the "demonic" nature of the Smurfs. Occasionally, she'd babysit for her neighbors (who were "worldly") and who often played with their kids in a "smurf" kiddie pool. The Witness woman never allowed the kids in the pool while she watched them, always feeling as if the pool might make the toddlers slip and fall or try to drown them.

Smurf Story #2: One Witness mother brought her 3 year old to the supermarket, where the baby always fussed, stuck sitting in the shopping cart. The woman left her child for a few seconds to grab things off the shelf. When she returned, her child had a 3 inch Smurf bendy toy. The good Witness mother immediately took the doll and put it aside, thinking her child grabbed it from somewhere. The taking of toy made the child cry of course, but the mother would not relent. However, over the course of the shopping trip, the child somehow gained access to the toy two more times. The third time, the mother realized that the doll was following her and her baby and that demonic forces were trying to possess the child. The mother grabbed her kid, left the cart and practically ran from the store. Later, I who was employed at the supermarket, discovered one the employees who was stocking shelves kept giving the child the toy so it wouldn't fuss so bad.

"Demonized artifact" story: One young couple reported they were having a problem with things "disappearing" around the house. Car keys, money, etc... They began to feel paranoid, unsafe, as if a "presence" were in the house with them, oppressing them. Finally they dug around in the attic and found... (dramatic pause)... a rolled up American Flag. As soon as the flag was put in the garbage... both man and woman felt as if Jehovah had indeed saved the day by leading them to the "evil demonized artifact."

Greetings y'all,
I have a friend and his wife in Corona, CALIF. who have about 3 boxes of Watchtower literature they want to donate to someone who can use it. Mostly recent stuff, large books and bound volumes. Smaller books were tossed out earlier. :-))

They want someone to simply come over and take it off their hands. Free. They don't want to mail it out, too much work.
If you live nearby or want to drive over to Corona, email me at [email protected]

by exodus in

jw
friends

well, here it is, after almost 20 years 12 of those serving in position of responsibility it comes down to my spiritual execution(jw style).

allow me to explain.

for those who you who still remember me from h20 under the name truthexodus i came to post my experience as an elder of local congregation in nyc area.

Dogpatch

Hi Exodus!
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
Or perhaps the beginning of new life.
At any rate, the end of anxiety attacks is near.
Life is so much better on the outside!!
Take a vacation from it after you spook the elders and CO, then in a couple of years visit Bethel with a devil costume.

if

If you can keep your head when all about you

are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too:

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream and not make dreams your master;

If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same:

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings,

And never breathe a word about your loss:

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: Hold on!

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much:

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And which is more, you'll be a Man, my son!

Regarding Candles

by silentlambs in

jw
friends

this is my first time to be back on the boards in about a week, much to follow up on and i have quite a story to tell regarding the events of the last week.

before i go into that though i would like to make a clarification for all concerned regarding our family business.

while i do appreciate the efforts to offer support personally, it has never been the intent to profit in any way from silentlambs.

Thanks Bill,

Looks to me like the new Barbie Dolz in Leather Series. Jeeez!
Wish I had a bike again. One of these days...
I used to date (years ago, please) a stunt woman for Farrah Faucet who lived in Venice, Ca. We used to take my Honda 900 up in the mountains near Idyllwild for pizza. Nothing like it!
Especially with the long blond hair flying out the backside...
