not alot of love or respect for jesus, his apostles or his church from the jws.
.
did he build his church on sand or have fools in charge that couldn't get out of their own way?.
Lieu hey remind me of the evil servants that kill the Kings son thinking they'll get his inheritance. Too much talk of following Christ and you're bound to notice that whole beating his sheep thing.
Paul they follow. A mass murdering "convert" that stays single and reproaches people for transgressions far far less than his own. Doom and gloom. Kinda like a former smoker ... highly annoying.
LOL! Perfect analogy!!
information on how to download the book apostles of denial (1970) by edmond c. gruss will be given at the end of this post.
before this, however, id like to present this introduction:.
apostles of denial a personal recollection and a tribute.
imagine my surprise when i found a copy of this book at a charity (goodwill) stand.
i brought it.. i plan to sell it and hope it goes to an apostate™not a jw completist.. .
i wonder how much it would be worth in uk money?.

Ahhhhh...I love birds they have such great personalities! My husband used to have a pet pheasant called Percy and a chicken called Mr Magoo who liked to watch TV. Apparently there was also a resident grumpy penguin nearby he used to hang out with sometimes. This particular penguin species usually live in colonies but this one just didn't like other penguins....I don't know what the penguin version of a misanthropist is...mispingthropist?!
Glad scooter was happy though...she finally found " the one"!!
Why did you sell her? I thought she had died at first and I know parrots can live to crazy ages- 150 years or so? Or am I wrong ( perhaps I'm getting confused with Treasure Island I think Black Beards parrot was 200years old, or so he claimed!Now you have the beard but lost the parrot!
Gorgeous picture btw ! Your wife looks lovely
in my book, i wept by the rivers of babylon, i described the process of having a friend, johnny santa cruz, use our friendship as a platform for converting me to a jehovah's witness.. that friendship cost me decades of my life in bondage to a cult.. the friendship was real and johnny and i bonded for life.
but, the religion eventually turned him into a stone silence toward me--his oldest friend.
now he is dead and the imaginary reunion and meeting of the minds is no longer a possibility.. this makes his passing a double tragedy.. his memories were my memories.
Terry I always thoroughly enjoy your posts, but these ones on Johnny are Particularly touching.
How on earth did Johnnie's sister manage to convince the registrar she was Mrs Johnnies mum?! I am picturing a tall redhead with an old fashioned 40s hat and face net, wobbley looking high heels too big for young feet surrepticiously coughing a 'yes'into an over-sized raincoat when asked who gives permission by the registrar!
Very comical images are floating around in my head of the four of you!
I too became a JW because of my best childhood friend. Is there any chance of your attending by way of accompanying your kids ?Even as the chauffeur? Witness literature doesn't mention services as being an issue with the disfellowshipped in attendance (funerals, weddings) but the socialisation afterwards as the issue. Could you perhaps simply ask the family if it would be ok...as a curtesy to them?After all even the most rabid dub wouldn't prevent someone from attending a funeral.
God we humans are a mass of contradictions.
the resurrection is supposed to be a joyous occasion?, if it ever happened!
--well, this week's showing at the hall was the opposite, it was about death with violins playing in the background.
a recently bereaved member, , full of tears, (like many others) could not contain herself.
Alive After the video showing, it will be bright commercial hall lighting, end of meeting 'stuff', getting out to car park, hearing others laughing and calling - where's the responsible care of observing the pain of those who it may affect in a very raw and unbearable way?Because of course the GB like to brag that witnesses don't need to grieve as others do...forgetting of course that Jesus gave way to tears at Lazerus'passing...I remember fighting off the tears just watching others...heartless
