I'm flabbergasted at your tenacity!
we had a total of 5 people show up, including myself, bruce baker presented the lamb, and left a press packet on the door, with copys of the new york times articles.
i got some pictures and video, and we had a reporter for the seattle times, and komo tv 4 show up, they both talked with us for almost an hour.
it was great to have a couple of people share they're personal experiences about being molested with the reporters.

i just wondered how much those "words of wisdom" that we once believed came from jehovah, via the fds, and out of of the mouth of a public speaker, are still affecting us today?.
i don't mean the scriptural imprinting, or even the stuff that bored us silly in the sunday watchtower study.
no, i mean the special instruction, the special assembly talk, the special week of activity that went with the co's visit.
Englishman, I love that dancing pink pig!
when i was around 4 or 5 years old, my mother got a call from a jehovah's witness.
i had a very difficult time making a decision whether to go to the funeral or not.
neither of us were ever baptized, and i believe that i made the right decision.
Jeez, what was his mother thinking? Dressing that poor, impressionable boy is outdated, hand-me-down clothes.
Just another form of child abuse.
i've posted a couple of pics of my grandaughter and her mother before and i thought i'd post the latest.
yeah i know it's boring.
but they are a couple of cuties..
You're right! They are both adorable!
ok, well we had 7people total to support the silent lambs.
it was me,valis, my roommate, country girl, and 3others from oklahoma.. we had 2 reports show.
one was a talk radio station, and another was from a tv station---no camera though.. the reporter from channel 8 is wanting us to do a documentary type thing.
Jesika, you are amazing! I am so proud of you!
well, the girl can downright sing!
i'm happy she beat out justin (even though he is from my locale).
personally, it should have come down to kelly vs. tamyra, but i digress.. questions:.
When Tamyra was eliminated I was so upset. I loved her.
However, I am glad that Kelly won, even though Justin is so darn cute! That hair, that smile. Oh, God!
just got home a short while ago after visiting a couple of local kingdom halls.
yep, left them a "present" a little lamb with a note regarding the "silenced lambs" and the silent lambs web site.
they'll be there to greet the pioneers and publishers for their early morning field service meeting.
Sisteract,
I'm impressed! Good for you!
revelation 12: 9 of the new world translation, says: .
so down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called devil and satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth, he was hurled down to the earth and his angels were hurled down with him.".
it has always been interesting to me that when satan rebelled a lot of the angels went along with him in his rebellion.
Farkel,
I appreciate your comments.
However, I believe that by picking apart these "fairty Tales" we will be able to see them for just what they are. The stories in the Bible, when dutifully explored, make absolutely no sense. So in order for that to be truly realized we sometimes have to crutinize them closely. Wouldn't you agree with that?
By the way, I believe that the wicked old woman really wanted to eat Hansel and Gretel and I believe that her house was made of delicious gingerbread to lure innocent little children to her waiting oven.
my children and i just returned from a trip to germany where we visited my deceased husbands parents, his brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews, and assorted cousins, all of who are jehovahs witnesses.. before we left, the children and i agreed that since their grandparents were old people and not in good health, it would be an act of loving consideration not to cause them any further distress by announcing that we were no longer active in the congregation.
so we went prepared to attend meetings, to go out in field service and to pretend that we were still die hard jehovahs witnesses.
we packed the proper kingdom hall attire, suits, ties, ankle length dresses, as well as our bibles and songbooks.. i suppose to some this may seem the cowards way out, that i should have just announced our new status and let the chips fall where they may.
Thank you Prisca. You are very kind!
You're so right Minimus. We must all do what is best for us even IF we are disparagd for it. We have to live our own lives, march to the drummer that we hear.

Crazy, yes that is interesting because the King James Versions says:
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
So if the angels did not exercise free will, why do you suppose Satan could convince so many of the angels to turn against God, a God with whom they must have had a personal relationship with?
