i found out a couple weeks ago i'll be losing my job by the end of the year.
despite having a bs, and almost a masters in a professional field, an outstanding education record, and having project management experience, i've had zero luck in getting a new job.
unfortunately, i don't live in a large metro area, and so opportunities for my line of work (governmental) are limited here.
Well, Mary my sweetie, I guess you can see who your faithful one is. Only I responded to your phone sex idea. Minimus and Warloc are users and losers and didn't even give you the time of day. I'll give you all the phone service you need and you'll be driving a hummer in a week.......specially if you call me on percocet and wine

i received the following emails, one yesterday and the other today and thought you'll like to see an example of the positive and the negative messages i regularly receive through webmaster at my website, watchtower documents, llc, www.watchtowerdocuments.com.. .
here's the negative message:.
"i must say that after reading your biography, i am shocked.
Hi Barb.
Your e-mailer said ..........."And now you have completely betrayed everything you knew for your entire life. How a person can develop such a change is beyond me.......... . How can you abandon all you had".
Perhaps you could ask your critic how people in christendom betray all that they knew their entire life when they become a witness. It's funny when the shoe is on the other foot how these types cannot reason. Ask this person how much critical study they've done about the witnesses and why they are afraid to. Tell her/him that witnesses spend hours at peoples houses answering questions such as these....but when these householders become witnesses they can no longer discuss issues such as this.

i told blondie i'd do the comments this week to help give her a bit of a break.
this week's study is all about resisting the spirit of the world.
this is nothing new really-----they've been preaching this for decades, but it still unbelievable how hypocritical they can be......... the study article is in black, my comments are in blue and unless otherwise noted, all scriptures are from the nwt.. .
Here I was all pumped up after that lesson Sunday and I've been resisting the spirit of the world.......then along comes this apostate chick named Mary who has nothing better to do with her time than to run ahead of the Faithful Slave Class. I'd like to ask you just where else is there to go other than Jehovah's organisation Miss know-it-all?
Without the Slave directing us, all lovers of truth would be taking drugs, sleeping around and breeding like rabbits and living like the rest of the world.
Q 3, 4. What warning did Jesus give his disciples, and why should that interest us?
3. Jesus warned his followers about the danger of what could amount to a death-dealing spiritual sleep. His words have special meaning for us, living as we do during the conclusion of the system of things. He urged his disciples: "Keep awake ... that you may succeed in escaping all these things that are destined to occur, and in standing before the Son of man." (Luke 21:34-36)
So, your saying this applied back in Jesus day eh? And just WHEN did people "stand before the son of man" in the first century?
If you people listen to this woman, you'll all lose out on everlasting life. I hate apostates!

monks brawl at christian holy site in jerusalemby matti friedman, associated press writer matti friedman, associated press writer2 hrs 5 mins agojerusalem israeli police rushed into one of christianity's holiest churches sunday and arrested two clergyman after an argument between monks erupted into a brawl next to the site of jesus' tomb.. the clash between armenian and greek orthodox monks broke out in the church of the holy sepulcher, revered as the site of jesus' crucifixion, burial and resurrection.. the brawling began during a procession of armenian clergymen commemorating the 4th-century discovery of the cross believed to have been used to crucify jesus.. the greeks objected to the march without one of their monks present, fearing that otherwise, the procession would subvert their own claim to the edicule the ancient structure built on what is believed to be the tomb of jesus and give the armenians a claim to the site.. the armenians refused, and when they tried to march the greek orthodox monks blocked their way, sparking the brawl.. police spokesman micky rosenfeld said police were forced to intervene after fighting was reported.
they arrested two monks, one from each side, he said.. a bearded armenian monk in a red-and-pink robe and a black-clad greek orthodox monk with a bloody gash on his forehead were both taken away in handcuffs after scuffling with dozens of riot police.. six christian sects divide control of the ancient church.
Rabbit is an apostate bastard who's heart doesn't love Jehovah, nor his people. He knows in his heart the witness would have never participated in this interfaith face slapping such as the one he described. Witnesses are the ONLY ones who truely love one another and show it by their actions. The bible said ..."you will know them by their fruits". ( Read John sumpthin)
Rabbit, you apostate 'ol bastard, how are you? Have you found the truth yet? I did. I found out thier ain't any truths discovered yet with gods name on it........other than creation itself, (which makes me a believer). I still believe that much but hope to find out a bit more before I bite the big one. Maybe the big one is a better place, who knows

comments you will not hear at the 11-09-08 wt study (september 15, 2008, pages 3-7 (escape).
review comments will be in red.
q 20. why can we trust in jehovah as our "provider of escape"?
Hi blondie, I thought the ecact same thing when this article gave all glory and praise to Jehovah, never even mentioning Jesus.
The Jehovah's Witnesses , even though they admit Jesus is ruling as king, has had gods kingdom put fully into his hands, will in most cases always give glory to Jehovah. They are so afraid to give Jesus too much credit to the point of making Jesus a back burner and even less. This is why they live mostly in the old testament......even though it was just a "shadow" of the reality of what was to come. They are actually like the stuborn jews who wouldn't accept their own messiah in a way. They accept him, then turn back to their old ways. I think had Russell prevailed over Rutherfords teaching, Jesus, may have had more of a chance and given alot more creedence amoung Jehovahs Witnesses.I doubt their would have been a "two class" doctrine of christians.
4. What does Psalm 70 indicate about David? When he had been faced with determined enemies who were out to take his life, David chose not to take matters into his own hands. Instead, he trusted that Jehovah would deal with the opposers in his own time and way. (1 Sam. 26:10) David continued firmly convinced that Jehovah helps and delivers those who seek him. (Heb. 11:6) David believed that such true worshippers have every reason to rejoice and to magnify Jehovah by teIiing others about his greatness. -Ps. 5: 11; 35:27
So David did not take matters into his own hand? He never killed anyone or sent armies to do that?
By using an OT example, notice how the WTS shuts Jesus out of the picture. Where is the telling of his greatness?

as most of us know on the board - awhile back the watchtower society printed a brochure called : "charitable planning to benefit kingdom service worldwide.
" it was written to provide info to witnesses on a variety of ways that gifts may be made to the society presently or at death.
i have a lurking witness friend on the board who sent me the nov. 15th watchtower and it has an article entitled, " ways in which some choose to give ".
"'Zion's Watch Tower' has, we believe, JEHOVAH for its backer, and while this is the case it will never beg nor petition men for support. When He who says: 'All the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,' fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the publication."
Isn't that when the "consolation" became the "Golden Age"?
If Russell were alive today and read the latest Watchtower on how to give all your assets to the WTBTS he's shit in the GB's faces. Then, Ted would pull Russells beard, then Teddy would kick Russell in the nutsack and it would be all over.....end of story.
Gumby....who needs a nap
for good vibes ,prayers, or well wishes for an ex jw who does a wonderful work, & is suffering very serious health problems she runs 1-800-why -1914 phone calls her name is marilyn -she and her hubby need them... she is still taking calls .so if any of you newbies want to call her it is free.
.
she answers your questions ...if you have any.... thanks in advance ((((hugs))).
My heart goes out to her. I called the "why" number when I first exited and asked why it wasn't the truth and they said because it was a false prophet. I think it was Jan at that time.
