Your not far from me I pass through there all the time. Back from Alberta as a result of the drop in Oil prices? There seems to be a lot of Albertans who are Ontario bound these days.

My True Identity
by The Governor ini write under the screen name the governor.
why i chose this screen name was i felt strongly at the time (and still do) that the charterer itself from the walking dead tv series that is called the governor had a lot of qualities shared with the governing body.
both had narcissism blowing out of their ears, both oppressed individuals for their gain whether it was for power and profits and both the governing body and the governor were able to reel people into their trap by charming outsiders in and giving them big promises that could never be fulfilled.

A Funny Thing Happened Yesterday
by truthseeker100 inyesterday right out of the blue i received an email from my cousin a now former jw who i hadn't heard from in over 25 years.
he got my email address of another non related jw website that i posted on.
he is not disfellowshiped because he said he dug up all sorts of dirt on the body of elders before he divorced his wife and remarried so in my opinion this guy is not classified as a fader but wants nothing to do with the truth.

Yesterday right out of the blue I received an email from my cousin a now former JW who I hadn't heard from in over 25 years. He got my email address of another non related JW website that I posted on.
He is not disfellowshiped because he said he dug up all sorts of dirt on the body of elders before he divorced his wife and remarried so in my opinion this guy is not classified as a fader but wants nothing to do with the truth. Only him and myself escaped the Borg in my family. He is the consummate joker and is the type of a guy who walks in a revolving door behind you and comes out in front of you.
We talked last night on the phone for hours and it was a pleasure to relive old memories and because of the type of guy he is, he has kept tabs on the happenings in area congregations. What a disgrace all the things that have taken place! When I inquired about several of the younger ones who were in when I was, his response just kept coming back as he's difellowshipped or she is disfellowshipped or he hardly ever shows up maybe for the memorial only and so on. Like many on here keep saying that only the stupid or non mentally diseased stay faithful to the cult is soooo true. Any of the born in's with a lick of common sense have gotten out and only the non mentally diseased have stayed behind as either firm believers or just to have their ego's stroked by imagined positions of power and authority. This post is not meant to disparage those who are trapped in by family circumstances we both expressed how hard that must be for those ones to sit and endure all that drivel routinely!
I posted on here lately about a fellow young brother who I had a few beers with and we concocted a phony letter to a young sister in a different congregation about our obsession with the fascinating world of taxidermy, for a joke. Well it turns out that brother is a divorced former brother now and my cousin is going to arrange a fun get together ( we only live a couple of hours apart) where I am sure after a few libations and other things we will brain storm and who knows what fun we will come up with. LOL We are going to make sure to video record the outcome for a future "Wayne's World" type video release on you tube it should be real hoot!
We concluded by saying that as born ins with all the KGB type behaviour control and rampant paranoia foisted on us by the leadership and leadership wannabees we especially felt sorry for the older captive ones and the sisters. It must be an especially difficult task for these ones as they are just window dressing and to be regarded by the Witnesses as serfs. We also concluded that all you can do to get even for what they did to us, is live a good life and laugh, because it beats crying.
I have no reason not to believe that this little anecdotal picture of how the Borg has been thinning the herd lately locally is representative of what's been going on World wide. When I here reports of adult colouring books published by the Borg it just makes me cringe to think where they are headed intellectually. It doesn't look good folks for them so my advice is when you try to second guess what they as an organization are doing these days don't over think things too much sometimes things are just as stupid as they appear or as Forest Gump would say "Stupid is as Stupid Does!"
I only started this thread because I couldn't decide what thread to post my thoughts on for your review.

"Our Christian Life and Ministry Meeting" Lead to Class Distinctions Between Rich and Poor Congregations?
by Wasanelder Once inthe instructions for the new meeting entitled "our christian life and ministry meeting" indicate an interactive portion that takes little preparation and a great deal of media involved components, demonstrations and instruction.
i am sure not all congregations are setup for all the video feeds, especially in developing nations.
will this divide cause jealousy and strife within congregations and branches as the lag continues?.

Officials in Remote Northern Canada Thank Jehovah’s Witnesses for Special Bible Education Campaign
by OrphanCrow inthis article was published by the wts on their website.. i find this jw practice of targeting vulnerable populations to be so disturbing.
the last thing that canadian aboriginal communities need is yet another institution that victimizes their members.. http://www.jw.org/en/news/releases/by-region/canada/inuit-bible-education-northern-canada/.

The Witnesses were organized into groups and assigned to visit towns and villages that extended from Aklavik, Northwest Territories, in the west to Kangiqsualujjuaq, Quebec, in the east, a region spanning over 3,300 kilometers ( 2,000 miles). Those participating in this outreach campaign cared for their own travel expenses including, in some cases, airline tickets that cost several thousands of dollars per person.
Prior to the campaign, the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses approved translation of the video Why Study the Bible? into Inuktitut. This Inuit language is spoken by about 35,000 people in Canada and is recognized as an official language in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories.Still burning up as a result of this article!!
I hope that the Witnesses on this expedition aren't all brain washed zombie drones. If any of them still have an active brain cell among them maybe spending a little time in Canada's far North will have a greater impact on the Witnesses than on their potential Inuit converts.
They should try wrapping their closed minds around the Inuit language for example not an easy task by any means. The Inuit have several words to describe snow conditions for example. http://ontology.buffalo.edu/smith/varia/snow.html It would be a very fitting gesture indeed to require young Bethelite missionaries or any religious fanatic missionaries to learn the culture and language of the Inuit as taught by the Inuit themselves in some recognized Institution of higher education. I am sure there are many people in First Nations communities that would love a crack at it.
This will provide much needed employment for the members of the Inuit communities who are academically inclined and give some Southerners an understanding and appreciation of Arctic culture and there is always the chance that it might awaken some of the religious zombies.
With whats at stake monetarily in Arctic resources the Inuit can easily afford this.

SecretSlaveClass:Stay out of their culture and lives and you won't get hurt - period.
I agree 100% with that. Staying out of their lives though I don't know? The Inuit are collectively a very social and engaging culture that generally speaking love outside contact and human interactions it helps break up the sometimes bleak monotony of Arctic life. The last thing they need is Jehovah's loving provision of Christianity. They already have enough superstition and crazy belief's to go around.

After Death Communications in the JW community
by jack2312 inmy name is jack and i'm looking for after death communications from the jehovah witness community.
an after death communication (or adc) is when a loved one sends a kind of message to this side of life after their death.
it can be a dream or smell (like perfume or roses that would be attached to them in memory) or a feeling of their presence.

Jack 2312 Even though I am not a believer in after death experiences I will enjoy your posts on the subject. Again my condolences on the death of your daughter. I have two daughters of my own and can only imagine the pain such a devastating loss causes. -

by Sabin infriends i have question to ask.
i suffered with horrific nightmares for along time.

I always dream in colour. Some are so real, others are completely symbolic.
An example from yrs ago...
I am walking quickly using a wooden staff in front of a group of men. The scene is a Himalayan village with cobbled streets, many centuries ago. As we walk up a rising street, a man runs towards us and says "They have the children!"
doofdaddy:We all rush to the steps of a large building and bound up the stairs. In the darkness children are pinned in terror against the wooden walls. Massive naked demons with pig/human heads and huge manes of hair are about to rape a little boy. They laugh at us as if we are of no consequence.
Rage overtakes me and my staff turns into a sword which I swing to my right ear and severe the head of the closest demon. Their laughing stops and they arm themselves. The battle is intense and the demons begin to over power my men. While fighting a slight fear rises up then words come to mind. "If I die today, what a way to die!"
Wow! I'd really like to have a dream like that! Sounds like an episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I wouldn't need cable or an in internet hook up LOL

If dreams are to be interpreted as some kind of mental processing of life's events, what does it say about your mental processing if you have no dreams that you are aware of?
I'd really like to know?

Child care and abortion - two examples of the complexity of the issue
by fulltimestudent inin a perfect world, one would hope that no woman would need to consider an abortion.
there is unfortunately, no perfect world and there does not seem there will ever be a perfect world.
so consider .... 1. a child rape case in paraguay.. ... but the plot unfolding in paraguay is so dark and twisted that it is currently tearing the south american country apart.it began on april 21 when a mother brought her 10-year-old daughter to a public hospital.

Fulltimestudent Abortion definitely is a complicated issue. There are a lot of idealistic doctors and medical personnel that struggle with this issue all the time. Sad scenarios for everyone involved. -
