Gopher- Thanks so much for the thread. Mr. Flipper here. More people need to be informed of what this cult is doing destroying people and families. We need more of this to let people know! Peace to you, Mr. Flipper

we just had our convention at the memorial colosseum in portland, or.

good old teddyj was our keynote speaker.

i can tell you right now that the ol' boy's still alive and kicking.

Hello Mr. Flipper here. If Mr. Jaracz thinks saying 10 minute prayers will make up for his "alleged" offenses against kids, and you all know what I'm talking about, he is sorely mistaken! I think if anything, he is not qualified to pray on behalf of other humans on this planet. If anything, he needs to be saying "hail mary's for himself and hope to God that he won't be smited with a lightning bolt before he says amen! Peace out, Mr. Flipper of the "Help all the children of the World class".

hello folks.

a loaded question for sure.

after being out of the org.

flipper

Thanks so much to you all for the advice! Good advice! I will definitely look into the books some of you mentioned to read, and Changeling and others who said it's not so much what I say but how I say it to my daughters that might get a hearing ear. Funny, my mom used to tell me the same thing as a teenager if she thought I was being smart alec,"Mr. Flipper it's not what you"re saying that bothers me , it's how you are saying it"! Thanks everybody for being my "mom"! It's great, I respect her and glad I heard it from you

Showing Concern for Posters we Haven't Heard Lately.Do You Know Some?

mrs. flipper and i were talking about this today.

since our dear friend core 88 has been feeling downhearted, my wife and i thought who else have we not heard from lately that could use some acknowledgement to let them know we all are thinking about them?

can you folks think of some posters who might be down or need to be helped to see they are needed or cared about when we don't hear from them?

flipper

Thanks Nvr. Maybe a good idea would be to pm the people we have missed and ask them how they are doing? Think it might be a good idea? Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Hey Everybody. Mr. Flipper here. Been following this thread all the way. I think everybody needs to vote Junction Guy man of the year or at least give him a nod for our next presidential candidate! Junction Guy, you got my vote! We do want newbies here if they are not being hateful or mean spirited like (micromoose)! But this guy wasn't being mean spirited, just lonely. Believe me, I've been there before and it's no fun! I've got a great woman now, but I've been on the other side when I lived alone and didn't have a lady! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Thanks for your responses folks. I have been trying to plant seeds of doubt, and it might gradually be working on my mom. But like you say, I realize that they are brainwashed to respond with their set responses even in spite of the real truth being told them. Thaks, I'll keep dropping off subtle seeds of doubt

How do you feel about people who wear their religion on their sleeve?

by loosie in

now remember i live in the bible belt.. ok i know i have issues but this annoys me.

we don't have cubicles that separate you from seeing eveyone else.

just really long desks with 12 inch dividers.

flipper

Loosie- Mr. Flipper here. If you'd hang a pentagram, living in the Bible belt they'd probably crucify you! It would be fun to get a reaction though! Remember how freaked out everybody got about John Lennon saying the Beatles were as popular as Jesus? Crazy midwest religious people burned their albums! They must have a hair trigger temper about religion! But I'm from California, what do I know? Have fun with it, just watch your back! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

You Must Push, Push, Push To Accomplish More, More, More

by The wanderer in

you must push, push, push to accomplish more, more, moreone of the major reasons in leaving the organization was the pressure exerted on the individual.

in the congregation.

it always seemed as if your best was never good enough and more could .

flipper

Wanderer, yes indeed it put a lot of pressure on all of us. I remember being raised in the org. being told by my elder father quoting Jesus Christ," remember when after going in service remember Jesus said,"We are good for nothing slaves, what we have done is what we ought to have done." So him telling me that made me feel I could never do enough! It's like, why bother reaching out for pioneering, ministerial servant or elder, because once you've attained that, well you still can't be satisfied! Gawd, they had weird thinking, glad I'm free and out! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

WE HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND IT'S CALLED...

by steve2 in

jw
friends

here's what will happen to jehovah's witnesses as they roll right past 2014: they will become increasingly like the religious group that influenced charles russell: the christadelphians who started around 1830-1840 and who have many basic doctrines in common with the witnesses.

the christadelphians were once an outspoken, vibrant, edgy "christian" group who spread their urgent end-times message far and wide.

they grew exponetially in the latter half of the nineteenth century, but their heyday is long past.
