DO YOU HAVE A PLAN?
by What-A-Coincidence inhttp://www.newswithviews.com/devvy/kidd359.htm.
despite the propaganda coming out of washington, dc., millions of americans are in deep financial trouble.
last week the media cranked up the mantra that wall street may be getting more optimistic.

The plan I figure is to fight for what's mine ,moving out of the country sounds nice but probably won't make that big a difference .I think canada was already paying high prices , the mexican government is even more corrupt than our own if that's possible .I think most south american countries are very impoverished already , you go to europe and I hear things there are pretty bad , I would not be interested in living under the european union and whatever crappy rules of law they have , asia is another crap hole along with africa.

Most overrated movies
by keyser soze ini apologize in advance to those i may offend, but are some movies i've always thought were way overrated:.
apocalypse now- a three-hour boat ride (four if you watch the director's cut) with occasional shooting.
and what's the payoff?

Probably should mention the sequels to raider of the lost ark , The passion , I also agree the 310 to yuma was a waste of film ,dream catcher(loved the book tho, the movie didn't even come close).

"Anointed" In the WTBTS?
by AGuest into the household of god, israel, and all those that go with... may you have peace!.
there are many in the wtbts who partake and profess to be of the anointed, there is, in truth, however, no true anointed in the wtbts.
there cannot be, for the admonition is:.

I think you had a point to one extent is the WTBTS changed it's dogma back to being in subjection to human authority ,after having said the superior authority were jehovah and jesus , so I gather from the board anyhow. Human rulers are subjected to satanic rule so if you are under human rule then you are under satanic rule .The WTBTS did associate with the scarlet beast which is an act of treason to the kingdom , they have not even owned up to it and repented of it in the sight of the church but rather swept it under the rug and put a gag order on members from ever discussing it .They lied about the reason why and it was obviously to try and use human authority to protect their properties around the world where as the UN is not a peaceful organization and does use military might to enforce the charter mandate .They turned to Gods enemy for help rather than "wait on JEHOVAH". I'm convinced the catholic church for all intents and purposes is the babylonian harlot . The WTBTS does associate with apostates which by their own dogma is a high crime and grounds for removal from the organization , so that would put Ted Jaracz out but somehow he still runs the org.

I certainly don't remember something about mary getting rave reviews that would constitute it being over rated ,however I did like it tho .Ben Stiller is just comical .Over rated would be ,There will be blood, that gets an academy award , If you're extremely bored and seen everything else you could waste a couple hours on that.I also thought gangs of new york was over inflated . crouching tiger hidden dragon was way over rated ,no country for old men pretty much stunk .

Diary of a thinking to return ex-Jw
by reniaa ini thought long and hard about posting this but the mis-information on this site finally persuaded me, i already accept many may not accept what i say on face value and get their appologist pens ready for making sure no pro-witness propaganda slips through the net on this site but here goes....... i've been on this forum for a few months my first post was about how i was thinking of returning to jw's and at my sisters recommendation to look at this site for both sides of the story before taking that step.. i faded from jw's 10/11 years ago now i left my hubby at the time divorced him to going on to have more relationships and kids, i was definately given the impression after asking on this site and with what i read that if i tried to return i might face df or at least a jc but definately a couple of elders questioning me over what i've been upto these last few years - none of these have happened.
i talked with an old jw friend (yes i do have then and she never shunned me quite happily accepted an offer of coffee from me and my asking for a chat) i told her i was interested in going back and was very frank about what i done in the last 10 years but not sure how returning was done now, she quite happily said she go ask for me to find out.. result!
she came back this week and said "all i had to do was goto meetings again" and an offer of a study was there for me if i wanted it to explore the open doubts that i had expressed i now had.. not quite the fire and brimstone welcome this site led me to believe would happen.. i will keep you posted with further updates if i feel the need to put them in future.. .

I don't know why you think you are harassed ,after all ,you did start this discussion of your own free will , see now we are back to the diagnosis of you wanting to blame others for your mistakes or perhaps you just get a thrill out of provoking people? I suggest you find out who you are before you accuse others of attempting to derail your dreams . I think you've just took the first step back in so why not just demonize everybody that you don't like and run right to the kingdub hell telling them just how you were treated so poorly .wah wah wah .......... Us evil apostates , the WTBTS was right all along , then you go right back to sucking mothers milk straight from the teet . Why everybody will be astounded at your revelation and even sing praises to your righteous indignations . Anybody got a puke bucket? ...........

I think that for anybody to say the WTBTS is more on the level than the rest is absurd . Ok they still have the separation of jesus and jehovah and no trinity which is what I see in the bible but they lie so much and then they make sneaky deals with apostates , signing agreements with the UN then lying about it , their way of screwing you over is just a different way than the others , now they don't know what a generation is so they can just up and try to cover up their mistakes . I'm sure to question it is a df offense even . The blood dogma kills people , they protect pedophiles while victimizing the victim with their 2 witness rule ,I've seen them screw their own over big time on many issues .You're pretty judgmental of the others for somebody that was probably screwed over by the j-ho's to begin with and why you left . We just want you to take your time and look at the evidence of their corruption before you jump back in . The professional help statement wasn't a joke , you may need to work it out .

The anointed.
by alexb123 inmy friend was telling me that the generation of anointed alive in 1914 now includes their children.
i thought that the anointed were not meant to have sex.
am i right or wrong?

They abandoned the generation dogma since they couldn't offer eternal life to the 1914 "anointed" anymore . That's what I've read on the board anyway. Now it's an invisible generation since they now claim they can't determine what a generation is exactly .I don't have a problem with the replacement dogma since it is clear that many in the first century did not hold on to the faith , jesus even had parables about how the "anointed" would be judged .It would not be a cake walk as many mainstream religions portray their wealth and prosperity as showing they were blessed in some way .The "anointed" IMO are not literal virgins but as the apostle John used it figurative in his previous letters to show that they keep themselves without spot from the world and of course jesus is the bride groom and once he arrives in kingdom power it's called the wedding feast , all figurative stuff but I do believe the "anointed" have to give up a lust for flesh thus making themselves as eunuchs . I believe they also die as martyrs as a final test ,it's more or less a death pact . Without trying to compete with Jcanon I humbly submit my opinion ...............
