(i do not take credit for this, i stole a lot of it from somebody online.
) the red is some of what i wrote out, then the black is what happened after... .
i would like us both to feel a sense of freedom to open up and discuss any and all subjects.
Glad to here things are better, just one point or 2 at a time, letting them draw there own conclusions does work. I tuned out alot of stuff out at first but eventually a point here and there
actually made me think. He probably thought he wasn't getting anywhere but I was filing it.

awake 2008 jan.p.19 "choosing to play violent and immoral games is like choosing to play with radioactive waste.
the damaging effects may not be immediatley obvious, but they are inevitable.
exposure in high doses of radiation can destroy the lining of the stomach and allow bacteria from the intestines to invade the bloodstream, resulting in sickness.
For one thing children why spend so much time on useless games when you could spend in time better in service to the true god.......
And the turtles are still evil!!!!!!!

(my commentary: compare this illustration taken from an internet site to the red headed "great harlot" on page 239 of your revelation book.).
she was worshiped as queen of heaven and patron of marriage and women.
she also held the title eileithyia, the goddess of birth.
Say! That 1975 Watchtower was that the twin towers in the back ground with those planes in front?????

yes i thought rutherford's policy on kid's was dead and the society had wised up....until i read the new "witnesses only" watchtower study magazine...compare.. rutherford's last book "children" 1942 = p.281 "wait until after armagedon to bring children into the world...it is only afew years before the other sheep are gathered to the lord, until armagedon...those with infants during armagedon will have greater woe...it would be a far greater difficulty to care for them during the tribulation.".
watchtower 2008 april 15 p.19 {picture of a middle aged couple witnessing with question: why do some christian couples decide not to have children?
} paragraph 12 "single or childless for a noble purpose.....numerous couples have decided to remain childless....they often do so to remain freer to serve jehovah...they are willing to place kingdom interests above some of the privileges that go with marriage...jehovah will not forget their work, and the love they show for his name...there will be a great tribulation...doubtless, it will be a difficult time for all of us-adults and children alike.".
I know a lot of older people who never had children because of rutherfords comments. They have all since died childless and were lonely when they got up in age.

did anybody really have truly good friends when they were deep into the borg or like me was there just really never enough time to cultivate good friendships?
I thought I had real good freinds....till I stopped attending meetings.
