according to the docket, wts was notified that their opening brief has not been timely filed.
their appeal will be dismissed if there is no further activity by february 22, 2013.
As long as the Watchtower does not pay Candace and make proper restitution, then they are showing themselves to be unrepentant. This makes them bad association, and by extension anyone associated with the Watchtower would be bad association.
I will be sorry to have to inform any JW of this if they come knocking.
in my area, i am labeled an 'active apostate', among other things i am sure.
i live in a very small town, and bump into elders who hate me beyond words.
if they could, i am sure they would gladly stone me before the entire villiage while chanting 'apostate, apostate.'.
I also noticed that instead of calling each other 'Brother Dan' or 'Brother Jim' like a tight knit group would, they use the family name and say 'Brother Smith' and 'Brother Jones'.
What a cold impersonal bunch.
i have heard on this discussion board numerous rules that apply to upcoming a$$emblies.
some are designed to stop people from meeting the opposite sex; others, to make sure everyone is always ready to recruit new members into the scam.
i heard that some km inserts have been urging those whose congregation has cleaning assignments to sit in the section that they are assigned to clean.
This is just so strange.
1) i wonder why (or how) the wts can claim copyright over the food it dispenses, given that it says the food is spirit directed and from jehovah?
surely the copyright should reside with jehovah himself?
can you copyright god's word(s)?.
The copyright is a 'tell' that they are making it all up.
i love this topic.... stole it from a female talk radio host dr. sonia freeman in the chicago area decades ago.
think and post a creative (not damaging, violent, or illegal) action that would piss off those who shun us.
here is an example: many years ago when my hubby was still an elder he collected the mail for the kh.
You could call a kingdom hall where they wouldn't recognize your voice and ask them if that was the kingdom hall from which an upcoming speaker at your community church was from. Be vague about the speaker's name. Or not. Get them to think one of their members was going to address a local church group and let their grapevine do the rest.
ok so we have all be jws so that isn't unusual.
supply pictures if you can.. i have ridden an elephant.
ok so it was at the zoo but it was still an elephant.
One one incredible day a few years ago I set foot in Africa for the first time, met LouBelle, saw and swam in the Indian Ocean for the first time, found my first southern hemisphere geocache, and after it got dark saw the Southern Cross for the first time.
All this in one day.
Ahhh, LouBelle.....
'north carolina state representatives have introduced a bill that would "clarify" state law to specifically prohibit the baring of women's breasts.
women worried about showing too much of their "private area" should use pasties, or perhaps duct tape.'.

The sight of these legislators is offensive to me. I would like to ban the display of their flesh in public, to be covered up with tar and feathers.
anyone out there reading anthony mathenias "paradise earth"?
incredible read, very interesting, but kind of freaky, so many memories.....blackbird.
Not to be confused with Paradise World, by Dan Edmund.
hi lars,.
if you want to claim your the messiah, thats fine but first we must examine the facts and ask a few basic questions.
i am of course accepting your word as honest.. i think everybody is well aware that the messiah will come thru david.
Lars raised my goldfish from the dead, and while he was at it he turned the water in the bowl into a buttery chardonnay. So I rescued the goldfish and put him in another bowl. Then I tried the wine. It was pretty damn good! I poured some into a decanter and chilled it. Very fine wine. Then the next day I went to pour the rest in the decanter and the bowl was full again. It has stayed that was for almost 3 years now, I pour some off and it keeps full. So I am set with chardonnay for life. Lars also fixed a really painful hangnail, and made my poorly alighned wisdom teeth right. So don't be badmouthing my lord and saviour and bestest pal Lars.
with all this low price recording equipment miniaturization availible, and the world wide broadcasting utube, we should see a flood of videos showing what goes on durring these special meetings with people who are finding out the truth about the so called "truth".. and while i'm not a legal eagle i would think that some savy apostate may wins some lawsuits with this material or lawyer for that matter finding an interesting case on the net.
well i can only hope on that one because i don't know and haven't explored the idea much.. i'm seeing this already on you tube and think it serves a good purpose to show these kangaroo courts thus bringing into the open view of the public what goes on in a governing body styled judicial committee and show just how nuts these sickos are.. more videos also puts the governing body on alert to tread carefully and to dot thier i's and cross their t's because big brother is watching..
Of course it's probably not legal to record a conversation without the consent of all parties. It's not here in Australia anyhow.
That's interesting. If it were anyone else, they could file a complaint about you recording them on the sly. But these guys are claiming that they have a public ministry, so you would be recording a public event that they didn't bother to invite anyone else to. They would also be going against scripture, as matters concerning misconduct should first be brought to you by the wronged party, and then be put before the congregation, another public matter. Their unscriptural secret dealings are their undoing in this.
