today we are launching freeminds2.org.
this is stage 3 of a three part project spanning over 30 years since i left watchtower headquarters in 1980 and gave the 18 members of the then-governing body, including president nathan knorr and vice-president frederick w. franz.. the new site will be more blog/news oriented (and updated more often with articles, blogs and videos almost daily).. all of our previous sites, such as armageddonokies.com and watchtowerworld.org, randytv.com, exjws.net, and others will be incorporated into the previous freeminds site, which is currently being revised and converted from its joomla-based format to this wordpress format.
i am sure you will find it much easier to search for words, people, articles, and subject very easy.
Great work. Just some clarification though...maybe I am just reading the first sentance wrong, but this just didn't make sense to me.
"... and gave the 18 members of the then-Governing Body, including President Nathan Knorr and Vice-President Frederick W. Franz."
And gave them what?
Thanks, just wanted to understand. Sorry if I'm missing the obvious.

elizabeth smart: abstinence education teaches rape victims they're worthless, dirty, and filthyby tara culp-ressler on may 6, 2013 at 12:00 pm.
I have a ton of respect for Ms Smart. What a strong girl! Did she leave mormanism or is she just 'inactive'?

i have heard rumors about this but no confirmation.
if true, it is astounding.
Nope, civil war is not near. Conspiracy people probably think it is though, along with a number of other things, UFOs and an Alien Attack, Obama finally putting his black cloak on and removing the contacts that hide his red glowing eyes etc etc...If a civil war does break out, I will come back on this thread and apologize. ;-)

a us senator thinks a law enforcement agency (unnamed) may have known about the boston bombing before it happened.. a new hampshire state legislator has publically said that the bombing was a black ops setup.
this remark sparked immediate controversy and denial.. an ex-fbi employee is reported to have said that the two bombers were recruited and paid by the fbi (russia today).
In all seriousness. Is anything not a conspiracy?? Tell us some big events that happened that were not caused by a secret society or block ops sector of the government.
TWA 800 was a conspiracy
9/11 was a conspiracy
Boston Terrorist Bombing was a conspiracy
etc ect etc bla bla bla
Please list a few that were what they were...just a crazy person / people that just wanted to f sh*& up and kill....or just a mechanical failure at 12,000 ft.
No disrespect intended. Just curious to hear from conspiracy guru.
1 - reconsider your existence - there might be a reason why the most effective resources to date have been solo efforts.
2 - recognize that even well-intentioned organizations will firstly seek self-preservation.
3 - be aware that egos and emotional stupidity have torn apart much grander edifices than aawa.
Great points Besty
i don't know why, but it took me up until a few hours ago to read her story at http://www.watchtowerdocuments.com/ and it opened my eyes more than i'd have thought possible.
having researched the real truth over the past 3 years or so, i felt my disgust was complete, but i was wrong!
i used to think that bethelites had it made, being in amongst like-minded brothers and sisters every day, but it appears their little 'spiritual paradise' is just a facade.
Yes...If you are a newbie look up her story. I think she is a great lady!
this case is in it's 9th year an has been touched upon briefly on and off.. the latest from the federal court is that all gated communites in puerto rico have until april 23 to provide the watchtower corporation full access.... this means the entry code or remote control devices that open the front fence.. this is clearly an act of provocation in order to create "pseudo-persecution" thereby increasing fs hours and "voluntary donations"....
The magagers of each gated bldg/complex should notify all the residents that all they have to do is call the nearest KH and be put on the DNC list. Imagine the KH getting flooded with calls from all the residents that are now going to have to stand by for an annoying knock at the door at about 9:45 AM.
the american pain foundation has closed its doors due to lack of funding and a growing hostile environment towards those who suffer with chronic pain.. with deep regret and heavy hearts, we sadly inform you that due to irreparable economic circumstances, apf must cease to exist, effective immediately.
on may 3, 2012, the board of directors formally voted to dissolve the organization.. the board and staff have worked tirelessly over many months to address a significant gap between available financial resources and funds needed to remain operational.
unfortunately, the economic situation has not changed in any meaningful way, despite our best efforts.. apf hopes to be able to transfer content from various information, education, and support programs to other organizations so that you may continue to benefit from the value these programs have provided to thousands of individuals and families across the country.. your personal experiences in living with pain and seeking compassion, empathy and medical care often against the odds -- have driven our efforts over these many years.
Hi Lady Lee...First of all, thanks for posting the info. With all due respect, it seems like your 'Headline' is a bit misleading ie "NO MORE PAIN MEDS" It looks to me like the foundation closed last May...but I haven't heard of any new laws passed within the last week federally or in my state that totally restrict pain meds for chronic pain patients or make anything now illegal. I don know it's difficult, and laws are cracking down, and those with legitamite need face problems. But I also know a few that have a pain doc that don't really have any issue.
Maybe it's just me...I just think your headline is misleading and not truely the case. Please correct me if I am wrong with some more links.
Thanks.

i know somebody who got disfellowshipped...they decided to appeal.
how long does the appeal process usually take?
do they ever get overturned?
Thanks very much everyone for your experiences and insight! The guy getting DFd is kind of a punk, ironically self righteous. I even heard recently that he said some things about my wife and I because our meeting attendance is spotty. I don't want to say why he's getting Dfd, but it might have something to do with something that rhymes with Corn. ;-) I am sure there is more to the story, and he must have some kind of angle to think he can appeal Jah's holy spirit. lol. I see from the majority of your comments that this probably won't happen.
Thanks again
TD
