Damn, I was guessing 1980 looking at the photo, and I was right LOL. Do I get a prize, do I?
Strange isnt it looking back, now we say WTF was I thinking, or more honestly, was i really thinking? I was dipped at 16 in 1985 and looking back I now know I knew nothing (lots of N sounds there LOL) at all, only the spin and fallacious reasonings of others.
Sad indeed.
i haven't been here in quite a while and thought i'd pop by.
i do lurk at times, i confess lol.
after reading the recent publications at the new golden calf (jw.org), my mind is kind of blown that jw's are still not seeing through the constant adjustments, clarifications, new light and reversals.
And you still have one of the best usernames on here...
Always go with your gut, always.....
parent of brain tumour boy ashya king hit the headlines when living in milton keynes.
the now-famous mum of brain tumour boy ashya king hit the headlines here in milton keynes when she was pregnant with him, the citizen can exclusively reveal.. determined nagmeh king donned a placard over her six- month bump and paraded the streets in a bikini during a battle with a private school five years ago.. she and her husband, who braved arrest to get the right treatment for ashya, lived next door to the grove independent school on redland drive, loughton, for several years, and were prominent members of the citys jehovahs witness community.. a war of words involving lawyers, council official and even police erupted when the school chopped down a boundary hedge, which the kings insisted was theirs.. the row had rumbled on for five years without any resolution until 2009, when then-mum-of-five mrs king took matters into her own hands.. i have walked outside the school with my placards between 8am and 9am every morning, she told the citizen at the time.. im not protesting im just spreading the word as a jehovahs witness should.. other parents complained as she mounted one protest dressed only in her underwear.
but mrs king insisted she was wearing a bikini.. its not shameful or wrong to wear a bikini when youre pregnant, she said.. a neighbour said: it is a crazy sight a half naked pregnant woman protesting outside a private school.. the kings, who described themselves as missionaries at the time, became even angrier when they replaced the hedge with a fence and the school removed it, saying it was on their land.. the family was accused of dumping rotting rubbish on the disputed boundary line, hanging washing outside the window of school head deborah berkin, and playing loud music during school hours.. milton keynes council confirmed it had been called out several times by the school over dumping, while environmental health officials were monitoring the music levels.. mrs king vowed she would continue to fight, saying: the school had no right to take away our privacy.. three months later little ashya was born.. today jehovahs witnesses across the city are remembering the family fondly and praying for ashyas treatment to be a success.. meanwhile neighbours who once watched mrs kings bikini protests are full of admiration for her courage in defying the nhs.. one said: she is a woman not scared of doing battle.
So nice of you to turn this into a christian rant about atheists Lost.
For the record: The Kings seem like a pair of nuts.
one year an elder, his special pioneer wife, and their two aux-pioneer children flew out to ny so that they could tour bethel.
while visiting they noticed an old man standing on top of the headquarters with a pair of binoculars.
the elder was perplexed by this and asked their tour guide, what's that old man doing on top of the roof?.
2000 years and still not a peep, 100 years should have been more than enough to know he was a fraud.

i do suffer from bipolar and social anxiety, so sometimes i do withdraw into myself.. what do you think?
am i just being weird??.
You are a weirdo, no doubt about it.
as we know, it seems that many witnesses "suffer" from "illnesses" at times.. now , before anyone scolds me for being insensitive or unfeeling, i am not mocking those who really suffer from illnesses of any sort.
i am having a go at those that jump on the bandwagon of the popular illness, which actually makes real sufferers feel jaded.. i am referring to the way that many witnesses who are actually damaged as a result of the constant "fear.obsession.guilt" of jw propaganda, often seem to "contract the current illness going around", or blame it on that instead of looking at the real cause.. im sure it is a subconcious result of the burdensome pressure of jw life that brings it on.
instead of seeing the draining effect on their lives as being the result of witness life, they will latch on to the next illness going around.. so, what is the latest going to be?.
RSI
so i know there are so many who have been victims of issues with members of the watchtower who have been hurt by elder males in a ladershop role, ergo pedophiles..... but lets just ask.... what if you were a husband to a wife who engaged in internet connections with a 17 or 15 year old boy?
when the elders found out they looked out for your wife and just saw it as a fleshly issue and the others jw parent refused to press charges?
as an outsider and looking at it as an older male to female encounter i felt enraged..."thats my daughter!!!!
There's cultural dynamics in how males and females are viewed and how protection triggers are pulled. There is also the factor of how males view themselves vs how females do in a sexual or potential sexual scenario.
So the bias has always been that males like sex and most females need protection, so young males are viewed entirely differently from a young female in a similar situation.
I'm not saying that is right, i'm saying that is how it is.
recently there have been several claims made regarding prophecies that came true.
i've not personally seen a prophecy that i would consider as having come true.
i would consider the following as the requirements to say something is a prophecy and evaluate whether or not it came true:.
Then you clearly have no idea of the meaning of the word "evidence".
Your truth bar is set so low, that pretty much anything gets over it.

Religion is a snare and a racket, ... never a truer word was spoken.
