So thats where the expression "Feeling Horny" comes from.

The JW religion is simply fanaticism masquerading beneath a cloak of reasoned logic.
i'm not being a pervert, really.
i was just wondering whether there was a psychological explanation for why people (women, i think) experience sex, when there's nobody physically there.. there's a lot made of this in dubdom, so i'm thnking there couldbe a connection with the dub 'culture'.. just curious.. philo (honestly, but still a male)

for some reason i can't post on the original topic about the fds on why the watchtower is doomed thread.
so i just started a new post.
as regards af's long-winded post on that thread, it is obvious to me that you don't know what you are talking about, and that you are merely trying to obfuscate the issue with this enormously long post.
I'm sure that, like most JW's, you only had Tallymans best interests in mind.

"I'd like to email you my connections with the UK if I may, instead of posting them here....possible identification and all you know....still incognito."
Yiu are very welcome,

Mulan and Had Enough,
What an amazing coincidence re all 3 of us having been at the '58 assembly at Yankee Stadium. It's the only time that I've visited the US, but I do remember sailing into New York harbour aboard the Arosa Star and marvelling at the statue of liberty.
Just out of interest, the Arosa Line went broke shortly after chartering all 4 of its ships to the society.
I'd be interested to know what part of the UK you have links with.

reality is a hard thing to keep at bay.
yet, many apparently prefer to live in a make-believe world, and so they readily embrace delusions for their own emotional comfort.
anything that seems to threaten the security of their fantasyland is dismissed, ignored, or ridiculed.
Well, you refer to all these "experts", so lets see what sort of stuff they write.
Lets take a peek at our hero LaRouche, who says:
"The United Kingdom itself has very little to do with the new British Empire. England, Scotland, Wales, and, especially, Northern Ireland, are today little more than slave plantations and social engineering laboratories, serving the needs of a collection of families, numbering no more than 3,000-5,000 people, who live and work in and around the City of London, a one-mile-square financial and corporate district, which represents the greatest concentration of financial power ever assembled in one location."
Slave plantations eh? This guy is totally off his trolley yet you frequently use him to back up your claims.

A few posters have asked me questions re my background, so, here is a potted version of my 54 years as an Earthling:
I was born in Bolton, Greater Manchester, in the north of England.
My father was an air-traffic controller and was transferred to London Heathrow when I was quite young. He’d flown many missions on Lancaster bombers during WW2. My elder brother had died before I was born, and as a result my father was given 48 hours compassionate leave. During this time his aircrew flew over Germany with a substitute and was shot down, in effect, my brothers death saved my dad’s life.
He was ripe for conversion, and , when the witnesses called in ’54, he grabbed it with open arms. I bitterly resented this outside intrusion and would play havoc before the meetings. By the time I was 12, I was totally brain washed with the result that I attended the ’58 Yankee Stadium assembly where I was baptised.
Throughout my late teens I gave public talks, pioneered, and was also the holder of 2 ministerial posts. By this time we were living in Weston super Mare, where I live now, having moved to where “the need was great”.
One day, in ’72, I was at the group study, when we read about a prophecy that referred to “wheels within wheels” with “eyes in the rims”. It was as if a mental curtain suddenly opened, and I realised -instantly- that I had never believed any witness dogma with my heart, it had all been on a cerebral level.
I never went back to the KH, a few months later I was DF’d for associating with other DF’d persons.
It was only in 1990 – 18 years later – that I started to research the WTBTS and had anti JW letters published in my local paper. My wife, who was never a JW, did some incognito investigative work with witness elders on female equality while she was a student at the University of the West of England in Bristol.
I’m known in WSM for my strong anti-DF’ing views, I’m pleased to having been instrumental in aiding the departure of a number of JW’s from the clutches of The WTBTS.
That’s it!

You Know,
Everything in the world is going on as it always has done. Your problem is that you haven't any precedence to back up your claims, all you have is an accurate few writings that say that prophets will be mocked whenever they prophesy, especially true when their previous prophesies fail to materialise.
You may be interested to note that I run a succesful small business connected to the building trade. Customers tell me that they recommend me to their friends because I am always on time and very reliable.
Are you reliable? Are your prophesies on time?

im intrigued by the jws teachings re the 144,000 and i would much appreciate some input.. i mean, is their any real scriptural back-up to say that a set number of people will go from earth to heaven, or is this just a witness interpretation thing?.
also, how does this remnant become aware that they have a calling?
does the wtbts tend not to persecute these ones, if they hold views that would be deemed as apostate in others?.
Amazing and all,
Many thanks for the explanations, particularly to Amazing, my best pal is actually named Mike Jones! He works and drinks with me in my local pub.
True insight, Amazing, dont suppose you've "missed your calling", have you?
HA HA!

What is the point of this select group, when they receive their heavenly reward what do they actually DO all day? What is their “raison d’etre”, and are they, whilst alive on Earth, considered as being exceptionally possessing of God-like qualities?
