  Damn you Kingdom Melodies! Damn you to hell...

  i haven't been anywhere near a jw meeting or convention in at least 8 or 9 years.

  but this afternoon, i'm doing some weed trimming and suddenly realized i had this lyric playing in my head...over and over.... .

  "ours is the god of true prophecy,.

  I still get certain songs popping into my head at odd moments even though I haven't been to a meeting in over 20 years. I actually don't mind too much because it's great to know that I have successfully faded away and don't have to go and sing them for real any more.

  If it bothers you, just play a few catchy CDs and your brain will get the message and put the cult song back on its dusty shelf in the recesses of your memory until the next time it decides to get it out for a quick play

  P.S. I am sooooo glad I faded long before I had to endure listening to any of this new stuff, seemingly devoid of any possible influence from real composers with actual training and musical ability. Who are actually writing these songs? As the WTS frowns on further education, I can't imagine anybody in a high position in WT land having been allowed to study music past a basic High School standard. It all sounds dire

  Blue/green, sometimes more blue than green or the other way round depending on the light and what I am wearing.

  I have often wished my eyes were brown, as I had friends with big brown eyes that looked stunning when they were made up, and I felt mine were a bit wishy washy in comparison. Incidentally, many of those friends wished they had blue eyes which shows we are never satisfied with what we have got lol.

  P.S. OOh, just noticed my avatar has got the same color eyes as me

  And the same body shape

  Tim, I find your videos very helpful as your subjects are so well researched and you have a gift for putting into words things that I know to be false about WT teachings, but don't quite have your gift for explaining them in such a concise and easy to understand manner.

  It appears there are many others who also find your videos extremely valuable, whether they are looking for answers personally or just searching for the right words to try and reason with our JW relatives and their closed minds.

  Thank you for all your hard work in putting those videos together , they are very much appreciated

  i've always liked tatoos and disagreed with the wt's stand on them.

  i just turned 42 on may 14 and think its about time i get one.

  nothing drastic, just a small lilly flower on my left shoulder.

  Well, from a mother's point of view (as I am old enough to be your mom) I agree with mouthy that there may be risks involved and to look into it very carefully before making a final decision, but you said you only want to get a small tattoo so I shouldn't think that would cause much harm if done by a qualified tattooist, and a little flower on your shoulder would look pretty.

  I also think - hey, you only live once and after years of denial as a JW, if it is really what you want then go for it girl!! You are certainly not too old!!

  Isn't it wonderful to be free to live life and have fun !!!

  Sadly, I think you are right luna2, and it seems as long as there are gullible people looking for a 'strong leader', there will always be power crazed, obnoxious, drunken, chauvenistic oafs only too willing to give them exactly what they want

  Whoops, I think mr. Camping made a mistake and forgot to calculate the ZERO year so that means it's supposed to be May 21, 2012

  Oh no, please don't put ideas in his head

  Should False Prophets be sued for fraud?

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  billions of dollars are generated and poured into ministries like campings, people have again done what they did in millers day, in 75, and again right now.. believers sell belongings, donate their money and time to these sort of cons, basically bankrupt themselves for the prophet who later gets to cry 'no foul'.

  while we may mock (and rightly so) miller, russell, rutherford, the wt, camping and all the others of the same ilk, what about those suckered in?

  some of them are now bust just like in the previous mentioned examples times as well.. what massive culpability must these ones bare?

  Bloody vampires of the world. About time they were all rounded up, locked up and never released. And same goes for upstart prophets. Ruiners of the gullible them all.

  I couldn't agree more, Aussie Oz!! Either lock 'em up or dump them all on some remote island far away so they can spend the rest of their days conning each other to their hearts content and leave the rest of us in peace!!!

  I just listened to the first couple of minutes and lost count of the number of times he said 'the truth'. It seemed to be in practically every sentence!Have marked it for later when I have more time to listen properly.
