They must have increased the wattage in their light bulbs.
The light is getting brighter...especially on such an earth shattering, important issue.
once again i have been selected as the "chosen channel" of commnuication by an paranoid elder apostate in waiting to spread this divinely inspired information: .
bfd.
a recent letter to all traveling overseers and bodies of elders in the u.s. contains an interesting "change in policy".

there would never be a good time to have this conversation.
quite different from most people raised a witness, i have very few horror stories about my upbringing.
my family was just a family, my mom and dad fought and argued, my siblings and i misbehaved and got in trouble.. .
Wow, what a story!
I commend you on how you talked with your parents. Sometimes you got to do what you got to do. It's bittersweet isn't it?
Time will tell what the reprecussions will be...but you can be proud of how you handled this.
first let me say that i'm at a point in my life where i don't even buy the idea that the bible is gods word.
this is just a thought exercise.
second, since there are so many smart folks on this board, this has possibly already been discussed.
Loyalty to "Jehovah" is nothing more than siding with the expected winner who will provide eternal reward, thereby making "Satan"'s point.
Yep.
There is no "universal court" or issue. (IMHO) If there were, really, would puny humans really have any impact? Does "God" need to prove anything or does he need anybody to validate him or his right?
I mean really...
i don't have much time to post as i'm headed back to the hospital, but my father collapsed this morning and had to be rushed to the hospital.
in a nutshell: he needs a blood transfusion as his hemoglobin is dropping (bleeding internally), but thanks to this fucking cult, that's not an option...........he'll accept the fractions but those bastards from the blood liaison committee have already shown up to ensure he doesn't cave............... for those of you who still believe, i'm asking you to say a prayer for my dad........and if anyone from crooklyn is reading this: you better hope my father doesn't die due to your fucked up rules, .
(((((Mary))))
Strength for the journey.
(Grrrrr...)
letter to elders, dated march 24, 2000. in reporting cases when individuals have disassociated themselves by engaging in nonneutral activities, the following direction should be followed.. the implication of their action should be reported in harmony with scriptural guidelines.
therefore, when completing the s-77 form, please use such expressions as "violated neutrality" or "took a nonneutral course.
" isaiah 2:4 and john 15:17-19 support these descriptions, as pointed out on page 101 of pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock.
I'm curious: What if a person disassociates him/herself simply because he/she has lost faith in what they teach, and have not done anything wrong; doesn't smoke, drink in excess, gamble, hang out with non-witnesses, doesn't have a non-witness girl/boyfriend, doesn't read apostate material, and so on and so forth?
It doesn't matter. 1 John 2:19 is their basis for doing anything they want.
now guess when.. .
ok, the who is easy.
the when is not nailed down just yet.
Congratulations and Best Wishes!!!!!

ok, so "the kilted brethren" is a term coolhandluke, breck (lowkey lowsmith) and i came up with on another board, but all fans of unbifurcated garments qualify for membership .

More pics please.
(Lordy! Do I love to see the lads in the kilts!!)
i think in most countries it is illegal to use this drug, so do you think it should be decriminalised, legalised & taxed, made legal for the medical proffesion or should it remain completely illegal?
please state your reasons for your choice.. lfcv.
I've never used it, but absolutely feel it should be legalized.
it's been lots of fun.
thanks simon and co. thanks to the many forum members who posted life saving information.
without it, i would still be part of the collective.
"Bon chance' in your new life!
I thought we were in the same area and someday our paths would cross. It sounds like you have a couple things cooking right now...I wish you the very best.
"Don't forget to come back now, hearah"
i knew of a hall that allowed only white shirted speakers on the platform for sunday public talks!
when a visiting speaker did not wear the official white shirt he was either told that he couldn't give the talk or he could change shirts,as the hall kept a variety of sizes, just in case of an emergency!!!
i don't make this up.
Single brother and sisters who sat next to each other at the hall meant they were involved/engaged.
