Breaking News: Police Arrest JW Elder for Creating Chaos at Hospital

kwabena afum was arrested last week tuesday and granted a police enquiry bail the next day for causing panic and chaos by allegedly mobilizing some members of his church to foment trouble at the hospital.. .
he has since disowned five-year-old jepheth asamoah, who is currently in the custody of the social welfare department in the district, even after his release.. .

My Grand father died (of old age) as a JW, I'm not sure who's fault that was but It's worst thing I can think of right now.
He was a really neat man

Anyone look at this board while still an IN and ACTIVE JW?
by Mad Sweeney ini vaguely remember looking at this board a few years ago, before i ever considered leaving the borg, and being appalled at the evil and hateful attitudes i saw here and scared to death of reading any further.. now i go back through years and years of posts and there is no evil or hate there at all.
it's one of the most kind and welcoming boards i've encountered since the invention of the internet.. that is how well borg indoctrination works.
it is eerily like 1984. black is white.

I've known in my messed up little mind that some place like this must exists.
I never looked for it.
A couple months ago I was searching for something and noticed this place, it caught my attention immediately.
Had I had access to a place like this in 1970's I probably would have refused to look at it.

I'll tell you what my wifes next vanity plate will be. She has been claiming that she is no longer crazy and would like a warmer license plate.
She wanted to have XOXOXO, (in Alaska you can have only 2 to 6 characters) I looked at availability and that was taken but after some brain storming I came up with XESNOS. She has said that would work for her, she's crazy like that.

How did you treat people?
by captain indo you ever feel guilty about the way you pre-judged others when you were a drone?.
i feel guilty about it every day!
people's lives are so complex, we know so little of their personal struggles and "thorns in the flesh" yet we're conditioned to prejudge on a checklist of criteria published by a few men in new york.

I've heard stories of people saved from certain death by a miracle, and the person relating the event never reports the "saving part" of the event as God having helped them. They all say it, is, or was, or must have been an Angel and then they typically thank God.
Would some event manipulated by an Angel suffice ?
I don't think God has manipulated the spirit of man with mass display since the death of Christ.

I embraced everything a born-in is expected to.
Things I battle with because of being born-in.
Non-emotional, avoid competing, second guess every thought, have no opinion, take no side, excel at nothing, avoided education after high school, turn the other cheek...
No emotional connection to any person.
Sometimes I have to force myself to feel things I know I'm supposed to feel. I know I wasn't born that way, no one is.
