Letter to old Cong
by mattnoel inok so some weeks back i send a letter to my old cong, it stated quite a few points which were very serious, some of them would cause certain members of the cong to be diss'd and asking for an explanation as to why certain things happened i.e stepfather throwing mother down the stairs whilst drunk but mother getting reproved etc etc.
also raised was the issue of the data protection act and wanting a copy of the files held on me and also stating that the baptism is nul and void.
it was about 5 pages long and i also sent it to various members of the cong.. a week ago i get an e mail from a witness stating that i was out of order - my letter was obviously exagerated and lied about to make me a "mad apostate" aparantly in the letter i have admited to keeping a written record of goings on, i blame the society wholey for my mothers death and i have apparantly sent it to the press.. a couple of days ago i get a reply from the cong and guess what it says, pretty much please forward a cheque for 10 along with proof of id and we will send you the records and thats it !!!!!

The problem is, who says they will send everything they have on you anyway. They're only interested because they're allowed to charge a fee to cover admin costs. I get the impression that it's not a set amount only a maximum and surprise surprise they charge the maximum.

(((((Chevy)))))
Sorry to hear about that. I got laid of too recently. It came as a bit of a shock considering the store I was working for is doing rather well at the moment.
At least I got a nice chunk of redundancy money to go with it.

How I view the Watchtower religion
by ignored_one ini've just come to realise how much this religion reminds me of those book and music clubs.
you know the ones, buy 1 get 5 free etc.
like the clubs it seems like a good deal to begin with until you read the small print.

Hi,
I've just come to realise how much this religion reminds me of those book and music clubs.
You know the ones, Buy 1 get 5 Free etc.
Like the clubs it seems like a good deal to begin with until you read the small print. Usually in the form of a clause that states you must buy X amount of recordings at full (usually a lot more than regular) price or 1 item from X amount of monthly magazines.
Kind of reminds me of the new Watchtower recruit. All that love bombing about how great it all is, all the love etc. Of course after a while you realise that better stuff can be got for less elsewhere.
Any comments?

An RAF Tornado and its crew are missing after being downed by a US Patriot missile close to the Kuwaiti border.
A search for survivors is under way, as is an investigation into how the accident happened.
Air Marshal Brian Burridge, commander of British troops in the Gulf, said the Tornado had been hit "obviously by mistake" as it returned from a mission over Iraq.
William Farish, the US ambassador to Britain, told the BBC the loss of the plane was "absolutely terrible".
It comes after two helicopter crashes within the last three days led to the deaths of 19 coalition troops, including 14 Britons.
The lost Tornado was from RAF Marham, the Norfolk airbase that has often provided planes for no-fly zone patrols before the invasion began.
Three ITV news crew are also missing and feared dead, after coming under what their injured colleague claims was "friendly fire".
'Investigation team'
After the RAF plane went missing, Group Captain Al Lockwood, chief spokesman for the British forces, said: "This is a tragedy and we are taking rapid steps to find out the reason and to ensure that there is no repetition."
Air Marshall Burridge told the BBC's Breakfast with Frost programme: "This is a sad moment but we will put it behind us as quickly as we can in a military sense and carry on to our objective."
He said a military coalition is "probably the most intimate alliance you can imagine" and that there was a "bond of trust" between the UK and US forces.
In a statement Downing Street said the prime minister knew about the accident, adding that he understands it is "an extremely difficult time for those involved, their families and colleagues of the crew who are missing".
The US ambassador said: "Friendly fire is something we have lived with for ages throughout wars, but to have it happen in a way like this is very sad."
Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said: "I am afraid that it is the nature of warfare and you try to minimise this, but it is a tragedy nonetheless for the families."
'Enormous care'
The loss of the Tornado - which normally carries a two-man crew - came after two Royal Navy Sea King helicopters from the Ark Royal collided over the Gulf on Saturday, with the loss of all seven crew members - six British and one American.
A memorial service has been held on board the aircraft carrier for those killed. So far, only one body has been recovered.
On Friday an American CH-46 Sea Knight crashed over the Kuwaiti desert killing eight British and four American service personnel.
The number of accidental deaths amounted to a difficult start to the campaign "and not an ideal one for the UK", Captain Lockwood said.
"It's been tragic and there's been a great deal of sorrow for those concerned and their families and friends."
Iraqi positions
Coalition leaders are anxious to limit the chances of further accidental deaths and have taken measures against the dangers of friendly fire.
UK Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon, who sent his sympathies to the families who had lost loved ones, said there were a set of procedures in place to defend British and coalition forces.
"Sadly on this occasion they have not worked and we are conducting urgent reviews, both of the operation of missile batteries as well as of our own aircraft to ensure that this cannot happen again," he told the BBC's Politics Show.
US Marines' air controllers have been attached to UK forces to co-ordinate strikes against Iraqi positions.
British armoured vehicles have also been fitted with identification panels and beacons, which can be switched on if they fear they are at risk from attack.
Advancing forces
As US-led military action against Iraq continues, forces are still encountering pockets of resistance as they advance towards Baghdad.
Clashes are continuing near the holy town of Najaf in the desert just 160 kilometres (100 miles) south of the Iraqi capital.
American B-52s bombers again took off from RAF Fairford on Sunday morning. The two aircraft are believed to be heading for Baghdad.

by Azalo inever since the ussr fell it seems the jw's have been trying to find anyone to proclaim the king of the south (sorry if thats not how u say it but i'm just directly translating "rey del sur" ) just wondering if anyone knows who is the latest suspect, n korea maybe?
by the way, another example of how elitist the wts is, albeit subtle, why isnt the us the king of the south?
after all geographically speaking the former ussr is further north than the us.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/2872537.stm 'Dozens dead' in Nigeria clashes
Some villagers have escaped the violence in canoesVillagers fleeing violence in Nigeria's oil-rich western Niger Delta say dozens of people have been killed in clashes between soldiers and rival gangs of ethnic militants.
Fighting between two local communities, the Ijaw and Itsekiri, has been raging for more than a week, drawing in thousands of soldiers.
The refugees described soldiers and militants burning down dozens of villages and firing indiscriminately.
The violence prompted the US oil company, Chevron Texaco, to suspend operations in the region on Thursday - slashing output levels in Africa's biggest producer by 13%.
Some reports said the Anglo-Dutch company Shell had also confirmed it would not be able to meet its contractual obligations on Friday.
Refugees from both communities, retreating from the swampy region south of the town of Warri, told of scores of deaths.Ruth Tinghala described soldiers firing "horizontally" and torching homes and shops.
"I saw many [people] fall," she told news agency AP.
"I didn't stay to see if they were dead or alive."
Ijaw leaders and refugees say 50 fighters were killed in battles with navy and army forces in the village of Okorenkoro on Thursday alone.
They say a state of siege has been imposed on the Ijaw community, with navy gunboats and troops imposing a 24-hour blockade on the creeks around their villages, according to the AFP news agency.
Military officials have previously denied attacking civilians, and stressed they used minimum force when possible.
Ten government troops are said to have been killed.
Ijaw demands
On Thursday, Chevron Texaco evacuated hundreds of villagers by air from areas affected by the violence.
On Wednesday, President Olusegun Obasanjo issued a strong warning that the current high level of violence in the country was posing a threat to the success of next month's elections.
The Ijaw are demanding more political representation and compensation from oil companies operating in the area. They say the oil industry has polluted their fishing communities.
A militant Ijaw leader has said that protests against the Itsekiri and the oil companies will continue until the government addresses the issue.
Our correspondent Dan Isaacs says that this is extremely unlikely ahead of the elections and he says it is difficult to see how an effective poll can take place in this part of the southern Delta under the present circumstances.
He adds that even if the unrest subsides, many hundreds, perhaps thousands of people have been displaced and election officials will be extremely wary about operating in such an unstable region.
