this post is in honor of ozziepost, one of our long-standing australian posters.
i am probably posting this in the perfectly wrong time of day, so if one of our australian friends could bump this thread when you are all waking up, i'd appreciate it.. ozziepost is well known for his love offfair with shiraz, an australian wine.. you may not know this about me, but i am a neophyte drinker.
i like to be in charge (is anyone surprised), and acohol unacceptably takes away my sense of self-control.
Hello Steph,
I'll be expecting you.

Hello jeanv,
Sorry you had to sit through that. And yes, it's embarrassing that we used to swallow it too.

Hello Anewme,
Exactly. The fact that they don't get it shows just how out of touch with reality they really are.
Nvr
in times past, who was regarded as the king of the north and south?
was it really the soviet union?
now that it is basically non- existent who are those kings supposed to be now?.
Blue,
Your lack of spirituality is so disturbing and disappointing. Reading garbage like that will only add to your prideful intellegence. Silly apostate!
Anyway, back to important theocratic debate.
NEW LIGHT: THE KON IS CANADA AND THE KOS IS AUSTRALIA - ARMAGEDDON TO BE FOUGHT
IN NEW ZEALAND (LOTS OF SHEEP AND GOATS THERE!)
here's the story in a nutshell.
i stepped aside as elder in a foreign language congregation with a resignation letter in august.. i cited doubts in doctrine concerning "this generation" and 1975, and also said i don't "know".
the governing body well enough to teach their doctrine.
Easy buddy, eeeeaaasssssyy. That's what I meant about the confrontation. Don't piss anyone off needlessly. That's exactly what they would love for you to do. The greatest statement (vengeance), is a life well-lived. Just be happy, happier than you've ever been in your whole life. That will confound them more than anything.
Continue to discontinue your disclosure of your FS report.
Your bro(not in the JW sense,in the human sense),

i would like to pose some questions that may challenge your thoughts, if i may.... .
former elders, while i may commend you all for seeing the real truth on about the so called "truth" and thus leaving the borg for what it really & truly is, a lie.
former elders, have you ever thought about or attempted to contact anyone that have been disfellowshipped by your involvement in the j.c.?
Thanks for understanding Yiz.

i posted a similar topic a year and a half ago.
i thought with all the new people it would be interesting to ask it again.
so i began to research ... and here i am.
Ithinkisee,
Dude. There's no way I can keep up with your lengthy, well-organized, exhaustive list. But I throw my 2 cents in.
I've always been an avid reader. Intellectual doubts began as soon as I began to read anything not produced by the society. I learned at a young age to bury them.
In adolescence I began to see Pharisees on all sides.
When I went to Bethel at 19 I was utterly amazed at how so many (definitely not all) bros and sis were so unfriendly and cold. I now understand that they were just hating life. However at the time this had quite a profound effect on me.
That's all my short attention span will allow me to post for now. Just wait till I get to the elder stuff + responsibilities at circuit and district levels. As I'm writing this I'm wondering why I didn't get out of there a hell of alot sooner!
Cool thread.
Love & respect,
Nvr

Hello Ozzie,
How does one go about getting on said Xmas list?
P.S. - Suggestion for wine and cheese pairing: Manchego(Spanish cheese made from sheep milk) with a nice Spanish Rioja. Throw in a few olives and you're good to go.
i was thinking about this today, as al gore did win the popular vote and lost because of how the electoral college works.
so people like to blame 9/11 on bush, and fahrenheit 9/11 really tried to make it look like bush.
i remember when the movie, "the road to 9/11" came out, clinton was having a fit that it showed the problems with 9/11 started while he was in office.
Who are you?,
Thanks for reminding me!
