just had a brain fart and i don't think i'll actually try this, but see what you think.. .
i made myself a promise that i was done serving on jcs roughly 2 years ago.
and, with the exception of a rubber stamp reinstatement charade, i've kept that promise.
Just start working on a reason to quit instead of looking bad.
OTWO you know, I'm sure, that no matter what if an elder resigns there's going to be rumors and innuendo. There's no way to leave gracefully. If you don't do anything wrong the perception that you did will still be there and people who didn't like you will make sure something negative is passed around. That's the way it works in the KH. That's the Truth.
so it begings in beautiful ft walton, fl.
some young (20ish) bros get together for some good christian fellowship at the house of two newlywed dubs, and then the pensacola brothers show up.. .
crips and bloods.
Doesn't sound like a very brotherly get-together at all.
Were they really Crips and Bloods or are you making that up, isn't that a West Coast thing?
Excuse my ghetto uncultured intelligence, I thought the Spanish were their own thing with the Latin Kings.
(BTW Naming the brothers with the "Brother + firstname" always sounded like Catholic monks to me. :-)
do these two cults have more similarities or more differences?.
is one any worse than the other?.
.
Scientology is definitely worse.
All I can think of is Tom Cruises toothy smile, and Dianetics and the Cocaine binge inspired script to a movie with tall aliens with six fingers, and an alien jet flying over the Canaries, Xenu and thetans, and monkey deamons attached like blood suckers on your back, and it gives me the willies.
...when i had my dear old cat, puss puss put down this morning.
i had her for 18 years.
last night i bathed her and used the blow dryer and brush on her matted fur, and she didn't even try to fight me.
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, Jamie.
Our pets are a big part of our family and our lives.

It seems that plants that create hamburger, ground beef, etc. are not so well policed and the rules aren't so stringent to begin with.
Wait a minute, Undie! No wonder they've got troubles, since when do "plants" create hamburger, ground beef, etc."???
What's up with that? And isn't a metaterian a beefy Terrier? I'm so confuzzled, oh wait a minute that's someone else.
i haven't been on the board for several weeks until yesterday.
there was a guy that was a regular poster that was starting some kind of email campaign that he claimed was going to bring down the wtbts.
i can't remember his name.
Another corporation will rise to "service" that market.
This may be true, but people will get more savvy about this type of thing.
It's like the pyramid schemes of selling anything from fire alarms, to water filtration systems, books, herbs, etc.
People get burnt and learn to be cautious. But religion has a big pull and even after the fall of so many televangelists there's still thousands upon thousands that follow them.
Similarly with people in end-of-time cults, but the vast majority is already weary of these and more so if a group like the JW's headquarters, WTS goes down.
the cong i belonged to was very large...it was the 'popular' hall!
i say that because it was a new building (double-khall), a lot of families went to this hall whether they were in the territory or not - if their relation went there or their 'friends' were in this cong - they came too!
lots of young couples...they drank together, they partied together, they go out clubbing together, and they all had their kids together.
Reminds me of the book by George Orwell "Animal Farm" where the chickens would feel guilty and confess to anything and be slaughtered. That's what the pig CO wants from the pig Elders, to be chickens when they need chickens.
All right that sounds pretty weird. I'll log out now, I've been reading too many JWN posts today.
step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white.
and in between the moon and you the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right .

alli, en donde hace mas calor, entre rosas y jazmines, yo te vi mi corazón, y nunca corté ni una rosa ni un jazmin, por no enterrar los recuerdos del amor que yo te di.
