I have watched "Kilroy" a number of times. It`s usually on BBC TV around 10 am most weekdays, Kilroy tends to walk around the audience which is normally made up of "for and againsts" and seems to give everyone a fair hearing.

Could well be worth watching, can other countries pick this up on sound via the net?

Did you burn the sacred documents?

...or did you shred the shit out of em so even the garbage man wouldnt become accidentally sucked into this cult like i did?

during the time i read crisis of conscience i went into a two week long rage.

i was angry all the time for being duped and i hated every witness on the planet, mostly for being as stupid as i was, and the upper echelon at the society...i just wanted to castrate them.

LOves Dubs,

Good for you! I read somwhere that the Universe responds positively to displays such as yours.

I actually set a specific dumping date and counted down the days to the disposal of my old WT literature, which I dropped in the bin.

Now I hate to have the stuff in the house, it gives me the creeps almost as though the Judges shade is looking for a niche.

I Think That I Chose My Parents.

do you believe in reincarnation?.

i dont think i believe in it in the same way that most believers do, which is that we keep coming back in different fleshly bodies until we have achieved perfection.. i do, however, strongly suspect that we may well be spirit creatures who find it necessary to inhabit a fleshly body from time to time, and that this entails us having to leave behind most of our past memories.. i say most memories, because many people seem to have some vestigal recollections that don`t seem to fit in with earthly experiences.. i`m pretty sure that i chose my parents!

i have a recollection of being shown a young and kind couple through some form of astral telescope and choosing to become their son.

Ex-pat,

I AM throwing a party - a big barbie anyway - around my birthday on July 6.

ALL posters are welcome, there`s bags of cheap accommodation available in WSM.

The annual Jehovah's Witness Satanic Ritual

jehovahs witnesses are lovely people, i should know - i officially still am one ... but ... although their great cult leader, judge joseph rutherford, banned them from taking part in the evil pagan celebrations of birthdays and such, there is one ceremony that is ridgedly and solemly adhered to.

the anual celebration of the "lords evening meal".

as most here are aware, each nissan14, kingdom halls around the world are packed to the collection boxes with the 'happiest people on earth'.

Englishman

Whoah there, Brucie Boy!

How come that the last time I went to a memorial bash, an attendant stood behind me and made sure that I was not offered the emblems, and actually took the plate / glass from the hand of the person on my left and gave it to the person on my right, I was not allowed to even touch the plate / glass?

RE: Ozzie's post on "Restrictions"

i have a question about restrictions on df'd persons wanting to come back to the org.. i finally joined here on mar 26, after reading posts for about a month, with telling my story first.

what moved me to join in was reading ozzie's post on mar.23(i think), about "restrictions" regarding reproofs, probations, and df'ing.

i appreciated his comments and was so glad when he brought the subject up.

Englishman

Humble,

Just listen to your own heart.

Why do you assume that an elder is better qualified to do this than you?

over on h20 there is quite a hiatus raging re this site.. dire warnings are being raised re jw discussions policy of not having moderators policing the site.

"what will happen when the site gets spammed with pornographic words and pics?

" asks rick, h20`s man in charge.. ok, no porn on h20, but to my mind something occurred there that was just as unpleasant.

Over on H20 there is quite a hiatus raging re this site.

OK, no porn on H20, but to my mind something occurred there that was just as unpleasant. Most of the unpleasant stuff on H20 only came when pro JW`s posted inflammatory stuff that was specifically designed to anger and provoke ex JW`s. Then emotions really did run high!

I worry that one day, a poster such as the old H20`s infamous agent provocateur `You Know`, could turn up and spoil this site`s air of bonhomie with his incredibly cruel treatment of non believers. So, I was wondering, has anyone got a sample or two of the sort of stuff we could expect to see if he does appear?

At least it would prepare the Newbie`s as to what to expect.

Rem,

The whole point of this post is to point out that, apart from what is loosely called "reincarnation", that some people feel that they have a sixth sense.

A sixth sense has nothing to do with physical proof, our other 5 senses do that. A sixth sense that was provable would automatically devalue it to the level of the other 5!

Re chakra`s, please dont label me a "new ager", but there have been times that I have been able to sense pain in anothers body and I have been able to pull it away from the person. I can feel the heat grow in my palms occasionally and this heat can be healing. It`s not something that happens very often, maybe once every couple of years, so it doesnt occupy my thoughts very much, but how could I agree with your post after experioencing something like that?

We'll have a gay ol' time

i recall having a conversation with a friend about homosexuality not too long ago.

he put a new spin on the subject that i had never thought of before.

he said his opinion was that the bible condemns homosexuality for the simple fact that the act of sex between same-sex partners does not produce children.

6 o` 9,

I`ve seen dolphins do it, I`ve had dogs that did it, and my pet tom cat George shags a pair of socks so we gave him a teddy bear which he prefers.

Riz,

A most interesting viewpoint, well worth looking in to.

There`s no doubt that homosexuals have the edge when it comes to creativity, why this should be so I really dont know.

Up until a few years ago I was very anti anything other than what I considered to be a normal sexual relationship, however I have 2 friends that are gay and they are both really super company to be with.

I have to say that same sex attraction is a total mystery too me, women have so much allure! Still its all down to freedom of choice, so if it`s your cup of tea enjoy it!
