  i've uploaded a new blog article that addresses the latest dvd release at the current district convention, namely "become jehovah's friend!

  " - the tale of young caleb and his brush with divine wrath over a plastic toy wizard.

  a link to the article, which includes the youtube samples of the production, is below:.

  Have You Ever Gone To Meetings While Under The Influence Of Booze Or Drugs?

  by minimus in

  i had an italian elder friend that regularly drank his wine (daily) and it was obvious that on some thursday or tuesday evenings, he was clearly under the influence of alcohol.

  quite often, we would have a 3:00 sunday afternoon elder's meeting and once again, i could tell he had been drinking.. nobody ever brought it up but i knew him well and he loved his vino and martinis!.

  we had a number of people on meds that would either act like zombies at the meetings or cry or get aggressive.

  Are There ANY Prophecies or Beliefs That The Witnesses Have Right In Your Opinion?

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  regarding prophecy, i see nothing that they've ever been correct on.

  from my understanding, they've always had to change the "truth" about the "truth".. scripturally, i can't see the logic of a godhead or a loving father eternally roasting a person who is deemed "bad".. yout thoughts, please?.

  It Was Never Enough

  found this on another site a few years back.. .

  it was never enough.. i remember the first time as a kid i comprehended that i could never do enough for the organization.. a circuit overseer was giving a talk and said,:.

  sunday is meeting, and since you are dressed up you might as well do some field service after the meeting.. monday you should spend an hour or so in the evening preparing for the book study on tuesday.. tuesday is book study.. wednesday should be time for your family study, personal study, or preparation for all three.

  I felt the same way.... I could never do enough, sigh.. Everything that was spoken from the platform or written in their literature was guilt, doom and gloom.. The only happiness was the future of an everlasting life in a new world with nothing but love.. That was the only carrot they had or still have... I remember when I was first brainwashed I loved everything about the religion and it's members until I began feeling drained.. It actually sucked the life right out of me and I still suffer trauma from it... It will affect me the rest of my life.. The religion is a complete disaster for everyone in general except the ones profiting from it...

  mp has asked which country has lost the most publishers, and i decided to investigate.

  one thing led to another, and i decided to produce another world map, this time showing the net reduction in publishers for each country.. this has been calculated by means of the following equation for each country:.

  2011 total no.

  the matrix - "do you want the blue pill or the red pill?

  ", "all i offer you is the truth", "ignorance is bliss", "the matrix is all around us".

  shutter island - creepy, is it real or isn't it, it turns out the whole thing is a dream.

  They wouldn't know a good joint it if came up and bit'em in tha ass... Pot is one of the safest drugs there is.. I personally don't know of anyone dying of smoking pot.. I'd rather someone smoke weed and drive a car than to drink and drive.. Alchohol is a killer..
