Do You Personally Know Of Anyone That Committed Suicide?
by minimus inlately, i've come to find out that a more than a few people in the area had killed themselves.
most of the people i know of were in their early twenties or forties.
for those loved ones surviving them, it was mostly a shock!

New light on blood?
by Mickey mouse inthis is prompted by barbara's new article at freeminds and a message someone sent to my youtube account a month ago.. there are rumours that there will be "new light" this year about blood transfusions.
if this happens, i for one will be speaking up and asking who is accountable for all the lives lost due to the wt's death dealing policy.
this is an opportunity for all those who still have some connections with jws to make people think..

The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived caused me to question a lot of the JW teachings and policy..so for me I always liked it. For once they almost focused solely on Jesus.

SISTERS ON THE RAMPAGE!!
by highdose init was well commented on by the older ones in the borg that the sisters were on the rampage when it came to trying to get themselves married.. it was normal practice for sisters in the same click or age group to visvously stab eachother in the back, exlude them as much as possible from social events and gossip about them as much as possible.
by the time i had left this was such an established practice that it seemed normal.. all this in the hopes that they would be able to bag one of the rare single and sane brothers... at least this is what it was like in my part of the world... what about yours?.

I was even shirtless when I came to the door, I'm sure they probably had something to say about that as well.

moshe-After a JW gets upset with a householder and wants to make a retreat, that is when you surpise them! You go out the door and start walking with them and keep the expose' of the WT going- just a friendly a religious discussion. They will have to get in their car and leave the territory in order to stop the torment. Works everytime.
LOLZ....classic.

It was two "sisters". One wasn't able to make it to my door as she had some health issues. The other one was a bit older and must have just been baptized. She was pressing me on why I wasn't in the org after I mentioned my parents were JW's. Her mistake. She was way over her head. I started explaining why I felt the DF policy was bogus. It was quite funny, as I was pointing out all the flip flopping and lack of biblical evidence the woman who couldn't make it to my door was just shaking her head as if to say, "just get out of there" to her friend.
The best part was when she decided a good way to support ex communication was to use a local fiasco that went down with the baptists here in Charlotte. They had accepted homosexuals into their church...well the other Baptists didn't like that and cut off all funds to the church...so the church kicked the gays out. She then said, "just like them we as God's people have a right to kick others out". I quickly said, "no offense but that is the worst logic I have ever heard come out of a JW's mouth...a religion you claim is false does it, so that makes it OK for YOU to do it". She was a bit befuddled and quickly tried to end the conversation with a "we will agree to disagree"...to which I retorted, "you are going to my house and my neighbors to convince us your religion is the best, shouldn't you be able to properly defend your beliefs?"...to which she just said something a long the lines of someone's spirit needing to be right.
Over all I went kind of easy on her I think she was just newly baptized or something. She also tried to probe me about who my parents were, which I told her was none of her business as she was asking in a very, "must warn everyone of the apostate" type way. I kept expecting two elders to show up Saturday but perhaps they felt it wouldn't be worth it.

This was created by a guy trying to bring awareness to how easily the government could enact something. Of course like any thing on the interwebz it slowly spiraled out of control and some idiots claimed it was actually happening. Not calling anyone here an idiot, but yea it will NEVER happen in our lifetime.
