Most of it is sitting in a dark corner in our back shed. I suppose the mice and other vermin are benefiting from the fine spiritual enlightenment available within all that literature's pages. We have quite an extensive library, including original copies of magazines going back into the late 1800's (I think, or maybe they started publishing in the early 1900's). Didn't really want to totally dispose of it in case we needed it for "ammunition" so to speak...but couldn't stand the sight of it in our house anymore. I suppose eventually we will just send it along to the county landfill and hope it doesn't pollute it too much.

Publishers' Comments-Bill Bowen
by twain30 inthese are some comments that some have made to me recently:.
at meeting-a brother: "that anderson sister was lying and here's how i know-no sister has access to those files, only brothers in position do.".
in field service-a sister: "look what happens when we don't wait on jehovah and take matters into our own hands.".

When my mother-in-law (she is almost 90 and definately still "with it"; except for the fact she is still a JW) approached an elder and asked him why Bill Bowen was disfellowshipped (we had told her about Dateline, the NYTimes article, etc.); he replied: "Because he did not leave things in Jehovah's hands." Yes...another severe case of braindeath.

Just a marvelous letter! I applaud you and your husband for your unwavering courage in standing up for the rights of the thousands of victims of abuse within this organization.
Only moments ago I finished e-mailing a notice to our local newspaper urging them to print the article in yesterday's New York Times. I live in a small community but believe that the whole world needs to know what this organization is doing to innocent people everywhere.
Again...an eloquent and wonderfully written letter by Sheila...it is truly a shame that it will undoubtedly fall on "ears that do not hear".

Watching the Wheels by John Lennon
People say I'm crazy
Doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay
Well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now
You no longer play the game
People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine
Watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy
You're no longer on the ball
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels
Go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Ahh...people asking questions
Lost in confusion
When I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me
As if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here
Watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

JWs Are the Cleanest People on Earth
by comforter inone benefit that jws get from being jehovah's people is the knowledge of good hygiene.
before i came to be a witness, i did not think it was important to brush my teeth thoroughly or wash under my arms real good and use deodarant.
i also tended to be a pack rat with a messy car.

No amount of soap and water could clean away the stench that the witness organization leaves on this earth.

JanG at it again
by Cygnus ini wake up this morning, check my email, and jang has once again filled it with dozens of anti-cult posts from her yahoo group which i was never solicited to join, and never asked to join.. ok, maybe it wasn't dozens but there were several.. jang, i posted to the newsgroup and i am asking you here now to please stop sending me emails/posts and take me off any lists you currently host or will ever conceive of in the future.
i have asked you this for at least 3 years now and i am still receiving stuff from you.
i beg that this by my final request.

Isn't it possible to just hit the BLOCK button on the e-mail you receive from her? It works for me .

Whati means to be JW
by Dawn ini couldn't resist - some people are so pompous!
!- just had to post this message that i read on another board.....um....complete with my additions shown in red.
* to serve and worship our creator, the only true god, jehovah, is the ultimate honour, more valuable and precious than all the money and possessions, status, etc in the world.

Oh poor, poor doggie. That dog will probably have to go in for a series of rabies shots .
