  Yeah, Garybuss is pretty funny. Arthur, I had to repost this because it's classic.

  When a psychologist asks why you are feeling bad a Witness has two choices, they can tell him, or they can say: "I'm not gonna tell ya." They tend to tell the psychologist according to Jerry Bergman. Jerry wrote a good book on the subject, I recommend it.

  When I tell a psychologist I'm feeling bad because a snake talked to a naked woman and God owns a book printing business and uses dead people to talk and the seven trumpets of Revelation were the seven Jehovah's Witness District assemblies from 1922 to 1928, starting with Cedar Point, Ohio and ending with Detroit, Michigan and I'm glad that 6 billion people are gonna be murdered by God soon . . . he sits back in his chair.

  Then I tell him my parents shun me and my son shuns me and I shun the dog, and I really like being in Kingdom Halls without windows, and in the new world I'm gonna pet a lion.
  If he didn't think I'm crazy when I came in, he thinks it now.

  due to my husbands interactions with my mom with questions about the history of the wbts, i received a phone call from her.

  (keep in mind she is 72 years a witness).

  i brought up the un thing and she said, thats from apostates.

  She also admitted that she almost quit in 1975, but quoted, "Where would I go?"

  That is the problem I see every time someone is faced with the real truth. What else is there? This is the trap that most cults use in keeping members tied in to a "family" atmosphere. They train you to believe that leaving the org. would be like moving to a new country.

  Don't get discouraged Restrangled. Don't let those nonsensical arguments beat you. Unless, of course, you feel it is too late for her. But in my opinion, it is never to late to feel free.

  Ephesians 2:15 ; Colossians 2:14, 15 ; 2 Corinthians 6:15-18 .

  While Christians today are not under the Law of Moses, the prohibition it laid on tattooing is sobering.

  Just noticed...what's so sobering about these scrips?

  If you are a Christian, you would certainly not want to make markings on your body—even temporarily—that smack of paganism or false worship.—

  I haven't heard that one used by them yet.

  Like all fads, tattoos may lose their appeal over time.

  Tattoo-bearing Egyptian and Libyan mummies have been found that date back hundreds of years before the time of Christ.

  Funny...both of those statements in the same article.

  "Once pigment is in, even if there's no infection, there's always the chance of contact allergies, dermatitis and allergic reactions that can cause skin to get red, swollen, crusty and itchy."

  Woooooo! Scary! I hate when they quote a doctor to scare people. Especially when the Dr. says a whole bunch of nothing.

  It's "gatherings" where I'm from. And they probably were JW's. Who else is so comfortable in that attire? We were always playing football in the street after service in ties.

  African JWs Can Keep "Messianic" Attire Because It's There Culture!

  my mom went to the sunday meeting and a missionary that was formerly in the congregation was showing (boring) slides about the "work" in africa.

  when he showed some pictures of some witnesses, they were dressed in what he called "messianic attire".

  he told the audience that it was no big deal that they were being allowed to continue this style of dress by the society since it was merely seen as "cultural".

  I hardly take any meds

  --Maybe that's the problem Eazy E.

  Jehovah inspires me to get my excercise and even instructs me on how to make better use of the workout session.

  Now THAT'S a good personal trainer! Who knows the body better than him?

  Do me a favor, ask him if it's better to use free weights or the machine. And what's the best protein shake?

  Sorry E, you make it too easy. Good luck with that tree thing.
