  Hi Brokenhearted and WELCOME to the board!!!
  
  Sorry 'bout your pain...The only thing that I know of that has ever helped anyone in understanding the dynamics of relationships is reading chapter 4 of M.Scott Peck's book, "The Road Less Traveled"
  
  I even had a weekly study with our teenage daughter based upon this book!
  
  It's pretty powerful stuff.
  
  
  Glad you're here!

  I did not know this...

  i was just going through the jw book "delieverance " in the preface it states,the name of three great beings herein made conspicuous are: jehovah the father,and the logos,and lucifer his sons!!!!

  this book is printed in 1926 year before my birth.... dec 2006 issue states that part of the antichrist is those who believe in the trinity... well in this book delieverance it states,catholics,& protestants,are under the supervision & control of the devil & form part of .his visable organization,& therefore constitute the antichrist.. .

  since i dont belong to the catholic or the protestant church .....i just believe i am part of the trinity,( 3 in one) body soul & spirit.... made in his image.... i guess they have at least stuck to this teaching...... the antichrist is anyone who dont follow the teachings of the wt...... on page 214. it talks about false doctrines.... it is written "anyone claiming for themselves the exclusive authority to interpret the scriptures ,for a long time the ecclesiastics kept the people in ignorance of the text of the bible by discouraging them from studying it;.

  Mouthy,
  
  Now I'm really confused....
  The other day, we established that you were the AntiChrist... and yet, YOU didn't know this!?!
  
  How could that be?
  
  Maybe you should consider going back through your certification training?
  
  I'm a little concerned that you're not taking your role seriously!

  Hi Lady Lee,
  
  Wow... thanks for the Visual CD tip.... That Rocks! I love GOOD free downloads!
  I too, collect and save everything but I am pityful at organizing it.
  Seems like I've saved some of the same WTS quotes over a dozen times.

  apparently the process of degaying pastor ted haggard will be a long one.. takes up to 5 years according to the ungaying pro.. http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/23/dobson-haggard-cure-gay/.

  poor haggard, wonder what he will do about his sexuality during those 5 years?.

  You know, there must be some pharmaceuticals that could help him. Has anyone developed a gay "patch", or perhaps a gum of some sort? Then, whenever he felt a bit gay, he could pop some gum into his mouth. LMAO!!! Sorry... there is no "patch" available yet. However, scientist are having some luck with suppositories

  Funny... I've only been married for 7 years and I CAN remember many of the meals that my wife made...
  Some that stick out the most in my mind were the cases of food poisoning...
  
  ??MAYBE?? it was unintentional??? But I STILL can't stand even the smell of chicken enchiladas
  and I still can't swallow a Watchtower study without gagging!
  
  How happy will the Master be when he returns to find His servants praying to the porcelain God "RALPH"?!?

  Suggestions for "The Internet" defense ... roadblock?

  wanderer reminded me of an answer that i frequently get when confronting dubs with information obtained through the internet.

  even if it's a scan of a wts publication, the typical dub seems to be well schooled in refusing to give any credibilty to anything that comes from a website other than watchtower.org.

  has anyone had any luck finding more "credible" sources for info?

  Has anyone had any luck finding more "credible" sources for info? I have some bound volumes as well as some old texts that I can use for some points but I was thinking that if I were to ask someone to email a scan of a particular article, I would (honestly) be able to say that it came from a search of documents (both WTS and secular) and did not come from some apostate-witness-bashing-website.
  
  I have seen a willingness of JWD members to provide just about anything ever requested... Thanks!
  
  Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated.

  According to the Bible, it's the man's job to make coffee... there's a whole book about it: "He-Brews"
  
  The Bible mentions female hormonal imbalance and crabbyness:
  "Mary road Joseph's ass all the way to Bethlehem"
  
  The Bible refers to flatulence... "Balaam's ass spoke to him"
  
  Moses did not accept the seriousness of his situation... He was in "de-nile"
  
  Revelation says that there will be no milk in the new system... "Utter destruction"
  
  Whenever Jesus was a child, he would never clean his room... Mary would continually shout,
  JESUS CHRIST!...Were you born in a barn!?!
