  MadApostate,

  It really doesn't matter to me if you are a Brooklyn plant or not, because stuff can be said now that could not be said a year ago.

  : How could Farkel tell Tallyman about this whole SilentLambs thing back last summer when Bowen was then still a loyal JDub (PO no less), since he didn't resign and start this whole thing until January of this year

  Simply because a few of us were working together on this issue long before we even heard of Bill Bowen. The real KEY to blowing this whole issue up in the face of the WTS is NOT Bill Bowen. You obviously don't understand this. This will all become obvious when the Dateline show airs.

  Mommie Dark was absolutely correct in her comments to you. I've know her for years and I trust her with my life. Besides that, she was also correct.

  : I just reread Tallyman's exchanges on page 1 and the first half of page 2, and then Farkel's answer midway down on page 2. I would find it hard to believe if someone now says that Farkel wasn't saying that they discussed the pedo media blitz back last summer. If the excuse is that Farkel was referring to something different from Bowen's resignation, then where is that "something" now.

  Several of us who are connected talked about that pedophilia problem BEFORE last summer, dummy.. You don't have all the facts, and I'm not going to give you all the facts because 1) I don't know you and 2) You are a demanding jerk and I don't care much for demanding jerks.

  Capiche?

  it seems as though i have become stuck in a very deep rut.

  the only way to get out is turn the wheel real hard.. i am so tired of the struggles in owning my business.

  i am tired of the stress and pressure put on me by trying to please everyone else.

  You could always get a Government job. They don't work for a living, they get five weeks paid vacation a year, a whole bunch of days off that no honest, hard-working people get, they get CPI raises, merit is not rewarded, but senority is (the jerks that have been jerks the longests get all the power and all of the reasons to work even less with impunity.)

  Or, you could start another business! I hope you opt for the latter because the former is for either burned-out entrepreneurs or even worse, losers.

  I've been up-and-down the financial ladder, and I've been self-employed for over thirty years. It's been tough for me lately, but the upside is: I have my wits about me and friends I can trust. I will also rise again. May we both rise again together.

  There's always the possibility of working for the US Post Office. There's also the possibility that God puts people in Hell. Both possibilities are nearly the same and they are a last option. At least for me anyway. I'll take "hell" over a Paradise Earth run by the Watchtower Printing Corporation any day of the week.

  nytel...

  : the reason dubs hate the antis so much is that some of them will jump on anything that smells like watchtower blood......'can we say miracle wheat'?............

  That was a very REAL scandel and Chuck Russell got nailed with it. He lied about the whole thing and the only reason he backed off was he got caught in his lies. Look I don't like conspiracy nonsense at all, but I know enough about "Miracle Wheat" to know that Chuck wanted to make a bundle of money on it (probably to use to promote his pet Cult), and when it turned into a bust, he was a smart enough businessman (just like the pricks who followed him) to back off when it proved to be a bust.

  Dubs are not nearly as well informed as many of we ex-dubs are, so their "opinions" mean shit to those of us who've done the hard work to ferret out the facts.

  Chuck Russell spent a large part of his life in Court and he spent a large part of his life LOSING in Court. This is not the kind of stuff you will find in the "Proclaimers" book or any other lying crap the WTS prints and distributes to those fools who actually pay money for it.

  If I thought the "Miracle Wheat" deal was just a another way to vilify Russell, true or not, I would never have made these comments. I know better, though.

  ros,

  /Farkel, you read sooo much into so little.

  That was precisely my point. Such puffery is not endearing.

  : Trite. As usual.

  Was that a big "fuck-you," or just a "little fuck you?"

  Pay Attention To Yourselves and to All The Flock

  by Kent in

  2. friends

  you can find pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock in many languages on the watchtower observer, such as english, spanish, polish, portuguese, french, finnish and german.

  but there is also lots of other sites that carry the book.. there is a new "pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock" coming soon, and i hope to be able to bring the "new light" in a short while.

  Maximus,

  This is TOO easy!

  : Ah, but they are SECRET! Can anyone tell me the Scriptural basis for that?

  To paraphrase:

  "Never let your left hand know what your right hand is doing."

  This is one of those idiotic scriptures I wrestled with as a dub. Does this mean that the "right hand" knows all the stuff and makes sure the "left hand" knows none of the stuff. If so, WHY? What is so wrong with the left hand that the right hand would hold secrets from it? None of this is explained. We are just expected to gulp it down and assume it means something important.

  Right Hand to Left Hand: "I'm not supposed to let you know what is going on.

  Left Hand to Right Hand: "Why not? What did I do? After all, we are both attached to the same body and we're supposed to work together, aren't we?

  Right Hand: Apparently we're not.

  Left Hand: Yeah, but I used to like to play the piano with you and I NEED you.

  Right Hand: Yeah? Well, we can't do that anymore. The rules have changed.

  Left Hand: Ah, shit!

  Left Hand again: well, then I ain't gonna tell you anything that I'm doing either, bubba.

  Right Hand: Dick.

  Left Hand: fair play is fair play. Quid Pro Quo.

  Right Hand: Shut up!

  Left Hand: How do we clap hands, then?

  Right Hand: do it yourself. I'm done with you. I'm a Christian now.

  Left Hand. Ok. I'll try. Maybe I'll find some Zen Buddhist to help me figure out this goofy rule.

  Right Hand: Ha! You'll never get the answer to how one hand can make a sound clapping, dummy.

  Left Hand: You don't understand Zen, do you?

  Right Hand: No, I don't. I understand Christ.

  Left Hand: Zen is pretty kewl.

  Right Hand: Maybe so, but Christ and His God can kill you anytime they wish.

  Left Hand: Yes, they can. Because of that, I'll take Zen any old day. They don't want to kill you: they just want to enlighten you.

  Tom,

  Remember the mantra the anti-war people said when we were pups? "What if someone gave a War and nobody showed up?"

  Well, how does this ring your chimes? "What if the Watchtower Printing Corporation was in a pedophile war and nobody could refute it?"

  They are fucked, Tom. They are fucked. They will not go out of business because braindead people will always need vicious predators like them, but they will hurt from this DateLine episode, and to be quite frank, they have a lot of other matters to hurt about: the Internet is killing them, sales are down, recruits are down, the world doesn't have a clue about the "message" they've been trying to preach to 125 years; their prophecies have all been flops, they are known as a religion of intolerance and hate, they practice barbaric shunning, they let their own people die on operating tables for a policy they cannot successfully defend in scriptures, they are angry and themselves, each other and whole world, and they are cretins.

  It doesn't get much worse than that, Tom. DateLine is only one piece to let the world know that the WTS is a little pathetic 19th Century Cult stuck in the 21st Century without any rudder and still preaching 19th Century bullshit. The whole world is already laughing at them as they slog and shuffle from door-to-door, selling their worthless rags and books.

  They have NO POWER on the average humans and they are having less and less power on their own dupes.

  The times they are a changin'. Maybe Dylan got that one right.

  Blood and RANK dishonesty!

  the thread started by maximus named gb admits it has no answers, blood ( http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=9056&site=3 ) is chock full of good information and is what this thread stems from.

  if you have not already read maximus thread, you should.

  i felt like adding my two cents about one aspect of that discussion.

  Marvin Shilmer,

  : They even posted faces of children killed as a result of this blood molestation! Not their finest hour.

  If they ever in 125 years had a "finest hour," what would you think it was?

  I'm most curious at your pending answer.

  Farkel, who thinks the finest hour for the WTS will be when someone pushes the "flush" handle, even though such a thing might tend to give legitimate sewage a bad rap. "Bad Associations" and all of that...

  troubled,

  You are in the Company of some very good and helpful people. Perhaps one day I shall be one of them! I can add nothing to the fine advice and encouragement already offered, except to encourage you not to let those bastards in your religion to get the best of you anymore.

  : I want to serve Jehovah, but something's not right anymore, and I can't figure out how to make it right.

  Watchtower-Talk. Why in the world would the God of Gods, the Creator of the entire universe, galaxies, solar systems, zillions of angels and all other living things need to be "served" by his very own puny and pitiful human children? What kind of "service" could we possibly give a GOD? The whole dub-idea of "serving God" is so absurd it borders on total insanity. What kind of a God would have such a huge and mean ego that he would require us to spend our few pathetic decades in life devoted to serving HIM?

  The WTS has sold you a pile of doo-doo. Any God worth being a God not only wouldn't want to be served, he would probably be sad that humans thought they had to do it in order to keep Him from killing them.

  The only service JWs give is service to their Gods in Brooklyn, and their Gods in Brooklyn have convinced them that by selling their literature, they are serving "God." Rubbish!
