  What's this letter from Naeblis, covered in a mysterious white powder? Hmmm, don't know, but I'm sure glad I'm wearing my head-to-toe Quaker Clean Suit of Chastity(tm)

  i've seen loads of live acts, back when i was a "young person asking" i watched the crystals, heinz, johnny kid and the pirates, brenda lee, joe brown and others all on one show.

  so very innocent!.

  Hmmm - Lets make a deal
  You take me to SADE and I will take you to Brian Setzer. We could make a weekend out of it. Ill just tell my wife uh that I uh -hell Ill just leave. -OM

  Openminded, you've got a deal. I know a guy who has seen Brian Setzer a gazillion times, and says it is an amazing show live. Just one thing, however: I'm a guy, so keep your hand off my knee!

  Well let's see...

  They've changed their minds about the superior authorities of Romans.... then changed it back

  They've changed their minds about whether the people of Sodom would be resurrected... then changed it back... and back again... and back again... and back again, etc....

  They've changed their minds about whether a woman should be disfellowshipped for not screaming when raped... then changed it back... and back again... and back again... and back again, etc...

  NYT: I think you'd better call in sick on this one, or tell some of Fred's lies.

  Best live performer:

  SADE

  Understated sensuality, as opposed to over-hyped sex--like some of her late 80s cohorts. The perfect "date" concert. If I told how many times I saw her/them in concert this year, some of my JW "friends" would know who I am.

  100 Good Samaritans needed

  by Trilobite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  two of this board's, and h2o's before it,long time and well known participants have fallen on desperately hard times.

  if they could set up pay pal accounts and enough of us could contribute say $20 - $50 per month it would help them though their hardship.. these two people have helped many escape from the wts and i know for sure have given money and other material help to those in need, even when they could not afford it.. if you can help, send an email to: [email protected].

  you need not include any particulars of who you are etc, just an indication that you could support this and how much you could send.

  There's no need to send money. We do all we need to do by sharing the Good News of God's Kingdom with our neighbors. Anything we did would only be effort wasted on a system that is going down; rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, if you will...

  Oops. Sorry. Sometimes I forget that I'm a wicked apostate, and thus am free to show compassion to my fellow human beings.

  I'll contact AlanF, but am still wondering about how to reach Farkel. Wouldn't one of his long-time friends/trusted associates be willing to hold the immediate contributions while the details are worked out?

  HELP - Elders want to talk about Disassociation

  by Steven in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i thought that this was all out of the way when 2 weeks ago my wife & i handed in letters of disassociation.. we have been since then trying to adjust & just when i thought i was getting somewhere - starting to feel normal again - i got a phone call 1hr ago from our presiding overseer saying that they haven't announced it yet & wanted to talk.. he is a very nice guy & i was caught totally unprepared so i put him off - said i would ring back later - 2pm'ish uk time.. now i have that horrible feeling in my stomach again - help!.

  basically, when it comes down to it i don't think we want them to come over - it will open us up too much & i don't want that.. also, though, i want to sort it out; so i am thinking of just chatting to him for a bit on the phone.. i didn't really want to do this since it could knock their faith & also i am not fully ready to argue all of the facts with elders.

  however it looks like i will have to.. anyway when it boils down to it they can argue away all of the facts like the un thing etc.

  Maybe this should have its own thread, but can you tell me what "cartilla" is?
