A catchy tune to make you feel better Cognac........
Who you gonna call??
weirdest thing ever just happened.. my daughters toy started playing music by itself.
there was nothing around it that could have caused it to do that.
and it just happened 4 times in a row and then i called out to my husband and it just stopped.

we do not dedicate ourselves to an organisation.
that is a direct quote from the memorial speaker during his final comments about our relationship with jesus.
my wife looked straight at me when he said that, as that has been one of my many points i have raised with her as to my angst with the wtbt$.. i was baptised before the change of dedication vows in 1985 and she after the change.. was my memorial speaker ad-libbing or was that quote in all the memorial outlines worldwide?.
He just forgot or has never heard the latest dedication vows.
i'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.
and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.
so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .
Left in 1997, was baptized at the age of 16 in 1972. 25 yeays in, mostly wasted in full-time service at Bethel, Pioneering, moving where the great are needed.
Greatest dissapointment in: Serving as an Elder in JC's and teaching at Pioneer Schools. (will God EVER forgive me for that one??) I encouraged mindless Zombies to be greater mindless Zombies.
my hubby and his fellow wt crew are building a new hall and he is working several days a week for the next few months picking up steel, security etc.... thats fine and dandy if thats what you wanna do but, he doesn't have any privileges in the hall and he's been reaching out for months but they keep telling him to wait.
what i don't understand is.... if they won't grant him any privileges in the cong., then why is he "privileged" to work on a building project?
also, why in the world are they building halls when the end is so imminent?
Local needs = They will use anyone
We used a DF'd person who had a Equipment Rental Business because he donated all the tools. no one questioned his credentials, except for one local Elder who the RBC quickly put down as being overly judgemental.

Put the toy down! Step away from the demonized toy from Hades! Then scream JG's name 12 times! DO NOT! I repeat DO NOT even take time to pray for JG's protection! Call the Elders immediatly!
Or call 1-800-DEMON BUSTERS
from where we are in phoenix, it was barely detectable.
a neighbor said he felt his bed move.
i was sitting in a chair and felt like i was back on the cruise ship in wavy water.
Nothing to report in Flagstaff, Az........except I'm about to start mixing my second Mai Tai of the evening.
this morning i took my wife out for breakfast, and we ran into an old jw friend who was an elder for years.. i was slightly taken back when he approached us ( we are both da' ed) and he started talking about the memorial,, not.
"how are you, or whats new" just ramroded memorial crap, andstarted to tell us the juicy local gossip .
there was a ultra- straight po from the cary ill. hall who left his wife,,, moved in with another elder and his wife,, became inactive, and ignored everyone who was a jw.. talk about a complete mind shift !.
They are morally, fantastically, incredibly, totally, ok, just plain screwed up, no?
i love this movie.. .

Movie trivia that's not very interesting...
Chingachook was played by my adopted daughters uncle, Russell Means.
He's an abusive jerk. When beating up his wife, her father tried to save her and he nearly killed both of them. He only beat the case on a technicallity and saw no time in prison. He's Ogallala Sioux and this happened on Navajo Land so he claimed imunity and won his case.
Sea Biscuit on our new flatscreen TV - yoo hoo!
another sick jw is finally brought to justice (no thanks to god's chosen ones) after raping and molesting children for four frigging decades.
as per the article below, obviously one of his victims told the elders that they had been molested and obviously the elders did nothing about it.
'sorry, but did you have another eye witness to brother cockerill raping you?
Pretty disgusting, no?
Would we expect anything less from an organization trying to hide its 'dirty little secrets'?
