We bought land!
by Aussie Oz inwe bought land!.
some of you might remember a delema i had a couple of months ago over buying a house... and gave lots of great advice.. well, we ended up buying a large block of land (modern developers would cram 8 houses on it) one hour outside the city in a really nice little town of only 250 people.
the block has an 1860 ruin on it that looks like an old school or church.

Michael Jackson---What Was Your Opinion Of Him?
by minimus ina year ago, mj suddenly died.
for years, multitudes of people said michael jackson was a "sicko" a "wacko", a "child molester" and an "addict".. once he died, the man was glorified by people, the media and his family.. what did you think about michael?.....personally, i thought he was an eccentric ultra-gifted artist who was childlike and brilliant.
i was never convinced that he was a child molester but i will say i thought his behavior was "weird" with kids (and adults)..

The impression they give of apostates isnt people who have issues with some GB insistence on dogma that goes against scripture etc...no the impression is of 'ones' who have as good as turned to Devil worship itself....its a term they bandy about to serve their own purposes.

Political Neutrality: Required for Servants of God?
by leavingwt inhow many here (who are no longer jws) believe that servants of god must be politically neutral?
i ask, because there are many regular posters who do not participate in political discussions -- ever.
there could be a wide variety of explanations, but i would like to know if any of you refrain from political discussions and political activity because of your religious beliefs?.

leavingwt..Interesting questions here...before my involvement in the Org I suppose I would put myself on the side of the 'working classes'...and wanted to make a difference if I could...since leaving and meeting my husband my interest in renewed...he is a very political animal and currently doing a dissertation on the Miners Strike of 84/5 here in UK under Thatcher's iron rule....
I kind of feel that if we are to be in subjection to the Superior Authorities then when given the chance we should voice our preference for our ruling government...?? And I hate oppression of any kind ...and moreso now since the experience of the Org...

What to Do? What to Do? What to Say?
by whathehadas ini am inactive and trying to fade as some of you know.
since my family in still in, i've been recieving "we me you" cards from the congo i was going to.

It seems cold though to not return the guy's call cause what if he dies soon? Hard not to feel guilty.
I can understand your mixed feelings here but I agree with the no contact advice...to compromise though and help you feel better what about sending him a card wishing him well with his ill health and use that opportunity to say that you're not up to meeting with any people at present? and you'll contact him if you need to?

Incoming communication from Borg elder
by sd-7 ini guess it's about time to post on what happened over the weekend.
i was telling my old pal jamiebowers about it and she thought it was hilarious.
thought i might retell the tale on a thread of its own.. so, i dropped my wife off at the kh for her cult recruitment activities.

I feel sad for you. Going back for more humiliation isnt the answer. I hope things improve with your wife, I really do, you obviously love her and are hurting. Sending you good thoughts.

JW doctrines that annoyed or troubled you
by Luo bou to inbloodguilt a doctrine that really annoyed me when i was in.

Hated the idea that some really good kind ppl who seemed to love God so much would not survive Armageddon unless they became JWs...stopped believing they would after a while.
Same with ppl who hadnt had a witness ...decided that if God was love he'd look after them.
Really despised the power crazed elder types ...got more and more disillusioned by them...and eventually they were what made me give up on the Organisation.
Despite being a 'strong' family for so long...I hated the snobby 'class' structure within the Org...like Bethelites Pioneers CO's & DO's and their friends, Elders and their families, etc etc... awful...
