i never saw the king, live, in concert.

if i could've i would have wanted to see elvis.

i rarely listen to him but it would been great to see him in his prime.. and i would've loved it if i could have seen the 60's versions of the temptations!.

Did the Watchtower just admit to MIND-CONTROL?

by pharmer in

consider some of the other twisted things used to mislead gods people today.

on occasion opposers will question the various teachings that jehovahs people hold in common.

often this becomes a debate about words, just as it was in the first century.

could be coincidental, but after announcing our scheduled dialogue program to be broadcasted live on feb. 21, 2012 with seven unthank, pay pal alerts me of suspicious activity in the six screens account..

Mad Sweeney

I was kind of disappointed when Mr. Unthank declined to appear on Cult Free Radio.

Looks like I got lucky and am still riding underneath Borg radar. Thanks Steve!

Awake openly mocked on website...

http://blogs.sfweekly.com/exhibitionist/2012/02/5_hilarious_social_media_image.php.

this is actually not a former witness or anything, this is a cracked style article.

i think it's pretty funny, i think it's evidence that the wt is not going to be around forever.

Mad Sweeney

This is AWESOME!

I agree with Tuesday. Open public humiliation is bad for the Borg. Remember how embarrassed you were at times to admit you were a JW? Think about how it would feel to be embarrassed ALL THE TIME to admit you're a JW.

The world needs more articles like this one.

Thoughts and Opinions on the VAA?

by arko_n9ne in

as i've posted multiple times before, i am new to many of the aspects of wts scandals so a couple weeks ago, i was on youtube and heard of a group concept from tim kilgore called the vaa (vast apostate army).. personally, i like the concept of former witnesses and anti-watchtower proponents uniting to stand against the wrong doings of the organization.

i would like their rally in a few years to succeed.

if things look promising enough, i more than likely will go.. but honestly, i don't know much about the vaa, and since it's not a concept with that "new car smell" i imagine people have more infor to offer.. i saw on older posts that witnesses are not fans of the idea of anyone banding together en masse against them, as they go to the lengths of calling the vaa a terrorist organization (though no acts of violence or tyranny have been committed or threatened).. so if anyone can offer insight into this group, it would help a man know if it's a group worth rallying with.. .

Draconian Rules for Attending "Special Convention"

by BluesBrother in

british dubs are invited to attend a special convention next summer in dublin , irish republic.

o k, this kind of trip has been done many times before.

however i have never seen such a crude and rigid set of rules that would apply to their own people going on a trip, at their own expense of course.

Mad Sweeney

I like how they actually encourage same-sex roommates. LMAO.

The 2012 JW Survey is now online!

by cedars in

i'm delighted to announce that the 2012 annual survey has now been launched and is ready to receive your votes!!.

please visit www.jwsurvey.org and give us your votes at the earliest opportunity.

this latest survey is obviously available to all those who voted in last year's survey, as well as to those who have never voted before.. so, what's different?.

Mad Sweeney

Still fighting the virus. Drugs have managed to partially open one nostril so now I can actually breathe.

So I've got that going for me...

Your thoughts on whether atheists and agnostics are one step closer to God than religionists?

by Fernando in

.

topgodapexspiritual persons (eg paul)middleatheists, agnostics, secularistsbottomreligionists (eg saul)seemingly in scripture the only persons jesus repeatedly tore into were the religionists (pharisees and sanhedrin or governing body).

it seems he gave the romans (secularists) scant attention, and chose to eat with the likes of prostitutes and presumably also lgbt persons..

Mad Sweeney

If by "Paul" you mean my friend Paul, then your chart may have something. If you mean the guy who basically took over the Christian religion and imposed his personal views on congregations across the entire Mediterranean region then, no. That guy is a Religionist Extraordinnaire.

Also, if by "God" you mean divinity then you may be on to something. If you mean the ancient Canaanite war-god YHWH, then, no, Atheists and Agnostics are nowhere near him.
