  40 years on - and still in Damage Control mode!

  by Bungi Bill in

  earlier this morning, i posted off to the the institute of engineers an application for membership as an "engineering associate":.

  - today being just over 40 years since the congregation's retards elders made me abandon my apprenticeship.. (in this part of the world, the pre-1975 hype was taken to that level.

  not being content to prevent young persons attending university, they went one step further and treated with hostility any youngster who would "tie up five years of their lives" by entering into an apprenticeship.

  Movie BLACKFISH Reminds Me of Watchtower Corporation

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you can google it to learn more but blackfish is a documentary about killed whales in captivity.

  particularly a male named tilicum who wound up killing trainers, the last one in 2010.. i had to bite my tongue when my jw wife said "whad did ya think?".

  i answered but wanted to say that seaworld giving the impression that trainers were most highly educated was a lie, telling the public these were isolated instances of trainer error was a lie, and all their actions and area tions made me think of wts.. trainers were typically not marine biologist but just young eager excellent swimmers.

  Wishing you a successful visit.

  I think your plan on asking questions to them is good.

  When they ask you the probing questions try to turn it around with a question. Awhile back a poster gave some examples of this strategy.

  Funny but kind of sad story

  by troubled mind in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my youngest son (26yrs old) told me the other day that his barber told him a funny story .. it seems the barber use to be the janitor at the local grade school ,and one day he came into the office and noticed this little red headed boy sitting in there .

  now the man said this was a busy day for the little kids ,holiday parties going on in the class rooms so he was curious as to why this little guy was just sitting in the office ...so the janitor asked the secretary what was up with that ?

  .....then he said the little red headed kid speaks up loudly ,"i hate being a witness !!

  My grand daughter, age 6, just left for the day. While she was here she was playing with one of her electronic games. She was showing her puppet buddy how to make Santa Clause: Look Buddy, this is Santa, he brings toys to little kids. The electronic Santa was packing his bags while she drew the hat on his head. She said and did all this with no sadness, just factually. I don't know what to think about that. She knows we are neutral and she feels safe to say and do some things with us.

  just had a funny vision of awakened ex jw's going to convention in flip flops.

  people outside in flip flops with signs advertising jwfacts and other worthwhile internet sites.

  another sign could read "hey, did you hear the one about the flip flop doctrine?

  Iown: Then they would have to ban flip flops as being apostate attire.
