  i don't know how to put a youtube video on, but at about the 55-59 second mark of this, you can see.... the back of my head.

  studying with my ex in the gilead library.. somehow, i am glad my face didn't make it, although it is bittersweet to see a few people.. thanks to a@g for making this monday a trek down memory lane.... .

  Barf alert....!!!!!

  LOL! Yeah, the video is pretty sick.

  The graduation was interesting. They showed the Doumans, (Alain and Tamara) who went to Indonesia. Out of class 119, 3 couples were sent to Indonesia. (also known as JW missionary hell)

  One of the couples were the Daugaard's, from Denmark. Hanne Daugaard got sick shortly thereafter, was flown back to Denmark, where she died suddenly. I feel bad for her husband. He was heartbroken.

  It is probably irresponsible to speculate, but considering all the pressure and goals that are set, I feel confident in speculating that she wasn't feeling good for months and only let on after she was REALLY sick. It makes me sick to know how the GB uses missionaries.

  *Major rant* my Sunday at the Hall aka HELL, also need ladies opinion on creepy elder

  ok guys i thought i would update you on my sunday and how the study went.

  i had to drive a few of the older sisters to the hall (one has a bum leg the other an injured hip and the other one has a hard time seeing), so i drove them to the hall and stayed for the meeting, here are some of my thoughts, first of the public talk.. i dont know how i made it thru the 30 minute talk without screaming bulls*it every other five seconds, the talk was about being no part of the world, and man it made me want to vomit.

  first off, children are still discouraged from extra curricular activities, i dont know how they expect children to grow up and be able to function socially if they raise them to isolate themselves from their peers, dont they realize that they are raising social retards?

  Lola, not all elders were like me, but I swear if I EVER heard of an elder talking like that to a sister, I would bang the drum for his deletion.

  Find a sympathetic liberal elder, (if they still exist) and tell him!

  This pisses me off!! I am sorry you had to hear that @$$ treat you like that.

  Wow! Bad memories. This caused me to get my Gilead bible out.....

  Bowens first talk was about holding to the pattern of healthful words from 2 Tim 1:13. It's easy to see what the agenda was now. The entire point of the talk was how this scripture served as a "formula" of sorts for the JW interpretation of the bible.

  According to Bowen, the phrase "the pattern" comes from the Greek "typo/typosis" which literally means (to Bowen) "under type, not readily apparent, below the surface"

  Basically, taking the bible literally at face value is not what Jehovah had intended. He embedded the truth to keep it from Satan's minions. Only the F D Slave has the ability to see what is "not readily apparent, below the surface."

  Bowen said that this scripture proves that the bible is like a puzzle, where the pieces are put together until a picture or image has emerged. It is very easy to see the agenda. Once you establish that the bible is the JW code book, with puzzle pieces to be assembled by the Governing Body, with puzzle pieces that "point" to the Governing Body as the sole authority figure, then you can control everything. Only if you convince the level of leaders and managers below the GB will it be relatively easy to control the worldwide congregation.

  If you are reading this for the first time as a JW or ex JW, it might seem shocking, but this is as very bit a fundamental belief of Jehovah's Witnesses as the paradise earth and the existence of the 144,000. They obviously don't publicize it much these days because it stretches credulity.

  Great video Lance. I gave my videos to my ex. I didn't think I would ever need them. Sounds like "the big 3" liked you guys....

  Nickleback "How You Remind Me"

  Never made it as a wise man
  I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
  Tired of living like a blind man
  I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
  And this is how you remind me
  This is how you remind me
  Of what I really am
  This is how you remind me
  Of what I really am
  
  It's not like you to say sorry
  I was waiting on a different story
  This time I'm mistaken
  for handing you a heart worth breaking
  and I've been wrong, i've been down,
  been to the bottom of every bottle
  these five words in my head
  scream "are we having fun yet?"
  
  yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
  yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
  
  it's not like you didn't know that
  I said I love you and I swear I still do
  And it must have been so bad
  Cause living with me must have damn near killed you
  
  And this is how, you remind me
  Of what I really am
  This is how, you remind me
  Of what I really am
  
  It's not like you to say sorry
  I was waiting on a different story
  This time I'm mistaken
  for handing you a heart worth breaking
  and I've been wrong, i've been down,
  been to the bottom of every bottle
  these five words in my head
  scream "are we having fun yet?"

  Another 1975 explanation - get your barf bag

  by kurtbethel in

  this is from a jw discussion group that tends to be full of apologists for the teachings.

  when we lived in livermore, ca a special talk was given by brother from bethel.

  he used an illustration that really stuck with me to describe the role of the fds.

  In the middle of the discussion, I told them, "The F&DS can be either a bunch of men making the best cases they can, or they can be directed by god's spirit, but they can't be both. They can't be just men when they screw up but directed by Holy Spirit when they think they've hit a home run."

  Seeker4, if I were one of the elders listening to this, that would have stopped me dead in my tracks. Well done!
