we would like to take this opportunity to recognize those that were just too ugly to make it into aour calendar.
we thank you for your audition photos, but we're afraid that you would hurt our business.
again thank you for auditioning.
Beautiful!

joshua 5:13-15. exactly who is this "commander of the lord's army?
" rev.
12:7 michael & his angels throw satan out of heaven.
Tracysdad, pay no attention to those bible thumpers who refuse to thump this verse: "For all who are lead by the spirit of God are the children of God."
I dare say that angles are led by the spirit of God.
That would make them the children of God, wouldn't it?
Thump that!!

i just felt the need to check in.
i've just felt so touched at the heart by those of you who responded with such loving interest yesterday.
and while i need to be grown up, responsible, and wise, sometimes all i want is for someone to love me and keep me safe.
Troubled, I know it sounds unlikely at your age, but it is possible that you are going through a mid-life crisis. These types of crises can be brought on by a paradigm shift in the philosophical basis of life. And I believe that's what you're experiencing. And you're describing it as well. It's always a shock to discover that you've been lied to, betrayed, by a trusted friend. It can really knock you off your blocks.
I'm familiar with Effexor and it can be of immeasureable benefit if you are patient and get your dosage adjusted properly, and that make take a few weeks. But if you give it time, it should help you get a grip. Just remember, when it's time to get off, you must taper off over a very long time. Don't let your doctor just jerk you off in a few weeks. Take it easy.
I also think it would do you lots of good to learn as much as you can about mass movements, about cults in particular and learn what types of personalities tend to join, and the characteristics of the cult itself. You can do this by reading Eric Hoffer's "The True Believer" which is a slim little book but packed with valuable facts and insights. Armed with the facts, you will be better able to sort out fact from fiction. And apply it to yourself.
Hope you will hang out here with us. That's what we're here for after all.

i keep reading about some faithful & devoted slave being god's official spokesman on earth.
can somebody explain to me what this all means.
in mormonism the source for all truth is the prophet who speaks for god and runs the huge moneymaking businesses of mormonism.
Check out Mt. 24:45, "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?"
The governing body (sixteen senile octogenerians in Brooklyn) modestly apply this scripture to themselves, read: beat it to a bloody pulp. And the stuff they publish, notably the intellectual pap found on the cheap paper of the Watchtower and its companion magazine the Awake, available this morning to you and your neighbors for .... oops, sorry, an old tape started playing there fore a moment. Where was I? Oh yeah, that intellectual pap aforementioned constitutes what they refer to as "solid food" that is, spiritual food. And at just the right time, too. Man, another moment without soma that spiritual food and I'da been a goner fur shure.
Anyhow, pay no attention to those assholes. They have no idea what they're talking about. Hellsbells, they've never gotten a prophecy right in over a hundred years of trying. And they've tried a buncha times, a whole buncha times.
Anyway, answer you question?

i would sincerely like to know what is so wrong with jehovah's witnesses.
i invite anyone to post here.
please use facts not personal opinions.. i am not interested in dates, the blood issue, nor the disfellowshipping issue since i am conviced that these do not prove that they are wrong.. i am weighing in to see if you as an opposer of jehovah's witnesses have the facts or not.
God rules, in his first reply to Seeker, discloses that he is insufficiently sensitive to truth, or is too unaware of facts, to waste any time on. The fact that JWs have engaged in false prophecy for a hundred years, he does not recognize as a big, big problem viz Deut. 18:22 and others. That being the case, why waste your time?

i've always been fascinated by the parallel between the concept of holograms on the tv show red dwarf, and the jws' view of the resurrection.
on red dwarf, a crew member has all their thoughts, knowledge and personality recorded by the ship's computers, so that if they die on the trip, a hologram of that crew member can be generated by the ship so that that crew member's knowledge and experience aren't lost.
this reminds me an awful lot of the 'tower's concept of resurrection.
Well, maybe there IS a part of us that is immortal - or at least potentially immortal - the soul. (Yeah, I know what the dubs say about that, but I don't buy it.)
Maybe it's our minds that are an element in a hologram: the mind of the Infinite Spirit being the reference beam, our minds providing the interference referent - voila the human mind. whatchathink?

hi my name is granny.
i married an inactive witness.
he is no longer a witness.
Granny, welcome and tell us if you're really a granny. You seem pretty young at heart to me, or so I intuit.
Hope you post a bunch with your unique insights.

i've been looking at the pictures of all the women posters, and they're beautiful!
had i known that jw women looked this good long ago i'd be a member today!.

Did I mention that I'm also a photographer? And I love the idea of the Apostate's Calendar.
Have camera will travel.
I think Wendy's closest, and since I am planning on going to Spruce Pine, NC the first weekend in August for the mineral festival, I could just pop into Asheville and get her on film (or disk, as it is).
And, in an act of pure generosity, I will be happy to accept photo applications for inclusion in the Apostate's Calendar via email and take upon myself the onerous task of making copies and sending them by private email to all the judges for calendar inclusion. I know, I know, but someone's gotta do it.
I think some good apostate props would be good, too. Maybe Venice standing behind a large cross with one foot on one side of the upright shaft and one foot on the other; with one knee on one side and one knee on the other; with one hand on one side and one hand on the other, with one... well, you know. And so on and on like that.
Then, see, I'll rent a red satin satan suit and go see Prisca. Lots of photo ops down under you know.
Whatcha think?
