i remember about twenty years ago some teenagers were caught fornicating in one of the additional schools.
the schools were downstairs, essentially separated from the rest of the kh.
they weren't just happened upon, though.
At the CA we where at covenry I think...
I remember seeing a man, very upset about something... I knew he was upto no good!
Well, he started running across the pitch and yelling about 'bastads' and lowsy something or other...
He got tackled by about 5 or 6 brothers and that was quite funny...
At an other assembly some young houdlum attendies where throwing mints at the others, they where soon stopped though...
one thing i do find odd is that the federal reserve act came to fruition that year.. "the entire system was to be overseen by an appointed federal reserve board, based in washington, d.c. by 1914 a full complement of twelve federal reserve banks had been established...".
also odd, is the way the federal reserve act came about.
it was underhanded.
So what is gold useful for???
just based on what i have seen..... self esteem.
trying to get back to college.
meeting good people to partner up with for life.
Just bumping this thread....
Still recovering from trust issues, here...

I love the mayan calander... :)
It is a map across time to show the evolutionary changes and developments of humans, in our social and cultural collectiveness... :)
i thought the fade was speeding up and there was light on the horizon for me and my family.
then yesterday my wife gets love-bombed and is ready to go back to the dubs.
i'm angry, cynical, depressed, disillusioned, you name it.. i don't know what to do for her.
All things will pan out, enthusiasm wanes in time... The initial part is the best and in time you will see that she will be brought around... On her own though...
ever since i left this mind control cult i have continued to offer resistance in what ever ways i thought good at the time.. but i'm faced with the question: is it good or bad idea?
or how far should i go and to what lengths should i go in my efforts to fight this cult?.
i think being a jw for 29 years has defined a large chunk of my life and to just try to forget about it may be a big mistake.
Most people will only keep holding fast to what they think is real, especially if you try to rench them from their perch...
It is where they feel safe, they are with 7 million others, and they like it that way...
Personally I would talk to those that will listen and then present some little facts for others to think on... I regard witnesses with respect and pity, some are power hungry others are genuine... Our job is to nurture those that come out or need a helping hand... In so doing, try to think what we would have done in our hight of Dubbyness... I sure would never listen to those who saught to destroy my blessed faith...
But i am glad to have stumbled into your site... :)
given the up coming season i thought this would be a good disscussion.. do you belive that jesus was real?
the son of god?.
a religous cruesader of his day?.
ok, Jesus is several things...
One - the timely beginning of the Piscese Aoen... Where the rising of the sun is in the Piscese constalation... Before that was Tauras... The next one in line is from Mark 14:13 Man carrng a pitcher of water... Aquarious... :D
i won't be going if i can help it, but id like a heads up about it, just to be forewarned.
I'll think about going...
Shall be interesting how they respond to my lovely long ponytail... :)
Oh, I could go with a cloak and my wonderful deer antler walking stick... Then, half way through... Start chanting...
Mwooohahahahahahaha...
to the household of god, israel, and all those who go with... may you have peace!.
the following excerpt was posted from paragraph 14 of the wtbts article, "the holy spirits role in the outworking of jehovahs purpose":.
14 what does this explanation mean to us?
"many men will come and say... LOOK!!! There is the christ!... But do not belive them..."
I always wondered of the Org was doing this themselves... You know not only did we get instructions how NOT to go about things, we also got one really good way to get on in our loves... "that all people will know you, that you are my people... If you have love amoung yourselves"...
So may that be!!!
first, pastor russell had joined adventist bible students in their enthusiam for end times chronologies.. next, russell teamed up with leading adventist thinkers like george storrs and barbour to publish these chronologies and apologies.. finally, russell used his private wealth to cut and paste ideas from all over the religious map into his own peculiar name-brand version of adventism which included pyramidology.. local congregations kept autonomy.
russell would have it no other way.
judge rutherford crept in to wrest control of the watchtower for himself and begin a new agenda which would transform local congregations of bible students into a cult of mind-controlled salesmen serving a religion of business organization.. this is what happened.. rutherford's key strategy succeeded in wresting a personality cult (pastor russell) away from "creature worship" and transforming it into a business concern or organization which could claim and demand loyalty in terms of statistical productivity (preaching and book sales.).
Thanks for that...
Apreciated
