I rarely agree with Farkel when it comes to politics. But I still like him, especially his sense of humor. I would absolutely love to hear the rest of his story.

Something for you to consider, Farkel
by journey-on inif you decide not to continue telling your story, that is totally understandable to me after the comments from yesidid and dontplaceliterature.
however, the majority of us would love to hear the rest of it and i think you would love (even need) to write it.
i'm sure you are well aware that the majority of us on this board have a certain kind of affection for you and respect, and we value your point of view and your opinions.

The Governing Body and the Battle of the Bulge
by metatron ini once read an excellent history of the battle of the bulge.
it pointed out that hitler took a huge gamble because he knew his forces would be ground down otherwise by advancing allies.
he saw what was coming and rolled the dice............. which may explain what the governing body of jehovah's witnesses is doing: demanding loyalty, attacking college, and trying to intensify shunning.. on the surface, growth looks ok but i believe these numbers are a self deceiving illusion.

if Facebook/the Internet somehow leads to massive DF'ings across multiple states and Circuits, in some linked fashion
Is this a real possibility? I'm only on here sporadically, has it been discussed?

I'm going to end my "bible" study
by KristiKay ini posted a while back, i've been studying with a nice jehovas witness lady for probably about 6 months.
after a few weeks i googled a few things (earthquakes, how long we've been on earth, ect.
) i realised she was very misinformed.

BOTR, I can't stress enough the need to read Steven Hassan's books. At the very least, read Steve's own experience with the Moonies and google the B-I-T-E method of mind control. Check out the website freedomofmind.org. Oh, and I love your screen name! One of my favorite albums.

Let's see... I was born in... baptized at 16... regular auxiliary pioneered for over a year... ministerial servant at 19...
my father told me the end was so close I would never graduate high school... that was over 20 years ago...
research says that C.T. Russell thought the end would come in 1874... J.F. Rutherford said King David would live in his house in 1925... the Society later pointed to 1975 as the end...
pretty soon you add it all up and realize it's just plain bullsh*t...

WTBTS Elder & Ministerial Servant Problems
by JW GoneBad ini attended a recent ministerial servant k m school on the east coast and the main school instructor mentioned among other things (part entitled: 'objective of the km school course') that the total number of ministerial servants is seriously less than it should be.
in times past the ratio of m ss to elders was much more than it is today.. in the u.s. apparently the total number of elders is 88,500+ as opposed to m ss 65,000. the numbers show & numbers don't lie: the society is running out of spiritual men.
the instructor stated that this is a new downward trend that has (in so many words) the society worried.. the next speaker (part entitled: 'why we must be spiritual men') added that in his years as a traveling servant the pool of m ss has always been much, much larger than it is today.

I watched my Dad waste a lot of time working on talks for the WT Society.
It made me realize it wasn't something I wanted to repeat myself.

Did you ever think that Satan wasn't trying hard enough to tempt you?
by JimmyPage inthe wt would always say things like "satan knows our weaknesses and how to exploit them".. so if he knew i wouldn't be able to resist a hot chick as a teenager, why wasn't that wily serpent sending them my way by the bucketfuls?.
if he knew i wouldn't be able to resist a job offering me six figures a year, why wasn't that angry lion trying to devour my spirituality with it?.
it was damn disappointing!
