Monday Night Football

by 5thGeneration in

anyone follow the nfl?.

what do you think?.

green bay @ denver -2.5 (broncos will win by more than 2.5 points).

The Oracle

Without a doubt - this is Green Bay's game to win outright.

The Defence is mean and in good shape.

Cutler is not ready to strut his stuff just yet on prime time (even though he is a great young QB)

Favre has won a game in every NFL city except three. Denver is one of them, and he wants to check them off the list tonight.

Green Bay to win outright by 7 points.

They don't call me the Oracle for nothin, yuck yuck.

PS: this could look really ugly Tuesday morning.

PSS: please don't dream about me again.

The Screws are tightening! Fear is paramount for mind control to work!

by Gill in

i have recently been noticing my mother's and other relatives' increased fervent and frantic activity in the wt society.. i wondered why they are becoming so fanatical and decided to take an indepth look at the latest watchtowers.. i believe there is a very worrying trend in the wt society now for a apocalyptic zeal that borders on fanaticism and now the wt is tightening the screws with its demand for 'cultic obedience.'.

in the past i wondered whether another 'jonestown,' or similar scenario, was possible, but though the wt may well not ask its members to take their own lives i wonder what the wtbts will ask them to do.. notice these quotes from the december 15th watchtower for 2007:.

page 18 paragraph 15:.

great work Skeeter1~!

You are obviously a kind and caring person.

Hats off to you my friend! And congratulations for your success in getting through to some ...!!

by momzcrazy in

momzcrazy,

yup, its tough to give good advice when we don't know all the details, however the truth (and I mean actually the truth) is usually a good bet.

However, this is not always the case. Sometimes you need to conceal some things to show kindness. You need to evaluate how your news will effect your mom and your relationship with her.

Is she intelligent and open minded enough to recognize there are good reasons why you have "slowed down" and are moving on with your life? Or is she likely to shun you?

I think it is really important that you preserve your relationship with her - whatever it takes.

IMHO, your ultimate objective should be to try and free her mind, so you can both exist outside of the controlling influeance of the WT. Then everything else will fall in to place and you will live happily ever after.

Think of her first - above yourself. Be kind. Be respectful. Show genuine interest and offer heartfelt, sincere, and logical reasons for why you are proceeding as you are. Encourage her to consider carefully, why you and others like you are deciding to stop attending meetings.

Whatever you decide - I hope it works out well for you!

Barbara Anderson's Paedophilia CD: The Watchtowers Chocolate Cake Defence

by Duncan in

i received my copy of barbara andersons cd paedophilia in an american religion a month or two ago, and i have been reading through it since.. what follows, although i have called this a review, is in no sense a scholarly consideration of the legal merits of the cases described, a task for which i am wholly unqualified.

these are, rather, my subjective reflections on the material presented, the impressions i gathered while reading the legal filings, my untrained, common-man appraisal of the cases laid out in those documents.

ill also admit to being swayed by tone of voice adopted, and to using my own common-sense yardstick in determining the reasonableness of the statements made, the responses given and the arguments put forward.

The Oracle

Why don't more people wake up?

You would think there would be a mass exodus right about now????

Perhaps there is and I just don't realize it.

I guess if we all do our part to educate and inform our dear friends (or former friends) and family who are still trapped inside - we can make a difference.

No one deserves to be trapped in the WT Org... or do they?

College: Watchtower Counsel Is Poison And Wrong

i'm not an inspired prophet - nevertheless, let me tell you what the future will be for ordinary, middle.

class people in the united states:.

inflation is going to accelerate and making a living for families is only going to get more difficult.. the real standard of living in the us may fall.

Another topic that gets the blood pumping.

Fortunately I have succeeded in business despite not having a college education, but I still regret being disallowed from continuing my education past high school. It has been a struggle to get ahead, and I still am not able to pursue work in larger corporations because of my lack of a degree.

When I attended highschool growing up in Canada, my parents were informed by the principal that my national testing program score for my age group ranked #1 in the province and was in the top 10 in the country....yet despite the potential...there was no way I was going to be permitted to continue my education...unfortunately the anti college/university hoopla was at it's height when I was graduating highschool.

Instead of doing what all normal kids were doing after graduating from highschool, I got part time work which enabled me to regular auxilliary pioneer. What a blessing. GRRRRRRR!

It's all water under the bridge now. I am thankful of where I am in life right now, and am happy to be able to perform a small service in the name of common decency, and free minds from the grip of the WT.

Give us lemons, we'll make lemonaide.

Peace to all.
