i will defer the details of this gem to blondie when she sinks her teeth into the wt study articles scheduled for march 21-april 3. until then sample this:.
watchtower 15 feb 2005 "christians - be proud of who you are!
" (pg 12-16) .
I see they're basically saying that as long as you're a Christian, just don't be weak. More "New Light" (look out!).
Well, hell, they need to make up their minds. Do they want people to be a Witless or not?
Seems they're losing their grip.

ok, i like american idol, but, did you notice, on the first episode this season, towards the end, a contestant, a black girl, came out of the audition room with a winning slip, and you could clearly see she was holding a black new world translation bible.. that is what i seen, anyhow.
i used my pvr to rewind it, and it looked exactly like the nwt bible.
hopefully she does well, and they tell her story, and she even wins!
We had an earlier thread about that last week--and no, she did not win. I'm trying to find out if she sang a kingdum melody, seeing that I was taking midterms that evening.

okay, there were a few good ways for destroying your old publications in my other thread (the colt 45 was great) and of course there's the usual burnings.. let's brainstorm some creative ways for taking your anger out on these publications so the newbies can have some fun!.
- tape porn over your wt videos and return it to the wts telling them it's defective (okay, that's not destroying it, but it's fun!).
- take your wt tapes and videos with you on a trip down the highway.
Two words:
Public bookburning.
Four more words:
On the local news.

have you ever gone to the public talk when first coming in, heard a talk from the platform and said to yourself, " glory to god this must be the truth " because what they were talking about had some type of direct relevance to your life?
oh, i must have been the only one, if not what was that mystical connection it seemed the wtbts had when new ones would come in from out of the world and suddenly see the light, even though it was more like a glow stick than a searchlight.
I was just searching and meet a JW and started going to meetings and the next thing I know is they are the only religion that has the truth. I didn't have it proven logically I just let the thought in my head when listening to their indoctrination talks. Man I didn't even see it comming so sneaky.
You just reminded me of my late grandmother. Whenever she would talk to strangers she would be like, "when I first heard this, I knew it was the truth..." I always wanted to ask her how she knew, but (1) she would have probably given me a half-ass answer or (2) she would have slapped me into next Thursday night ('s meeting). And I'm pretty sure that the other people she was telling this to would have wanted to ask the same thing--but she was a big woman, and she would have hurt them or something. bad.

i was molested by my grandfather from the age of 3 to 7. he was also molesting his daughter (my aunt) and maybe others.
it was covered over and my entire family was actually shunned when we went to the elders when i was 18. i did not tell anyone about it until then because my grandfather had me believing our relationship was special and it was our little secret.. when confronted, he of course denied it.
my mother even spoke up of a time when he had tried to molest her when she was 8 months pregnant with one of my brothers.
I'm really sorry that it happened to you too--the same thing happened to me throughout my childhood. and of course everyone thinks I'm a flaky bitch, because he has so much influence in my hometown. Not even my grandmother (who died in 2000) believed me. Came to find out in 2001 that he was molesting my mother and my aunt as well, which is why they brushed me off when I complained about it. But I do have the satisfaction of seeing him lead a miserable life with his money-grubbing, ugly ass new wife, the loss of his business, and him losing his house. I'm evil, I know, but its about time he got his comeuppance for molesting me; and I should say that it's good enough for me.

i was recently disfellowshipped for being in a same sex relationship with a female.
i understand that it is against bible standards but i do not agree with disfellowshipping in that everyone including my family has nothing to do with me.
i am 18 years old.
Welcome to the board:
I'm very sure that your family loves you very much. But the fact of the matter is that as long as they are in that religion, they will always choose it over you. That is exactly what a cult is, choosing the needs of the organization over the needs of your loved ones. I hope someday they'll see all that.

seriously, they masquerade as angels of light, with their dark chocolate minty taste (my personal satan being the thin mint ones) but in reality they are little fiendish wafers of fat and carbohydrates waiting to attack the weak defences of your tastebuds so they can defile the temple of your flesh.
i think i need an exorcism....or another box of cookies *sigh*

Can I have your Samoas then? I don't think that you'd really need them, being a work of the devil and all. I'll take my chances.

after reading this thread, i started wondering whether online dating sites work well.
has anyone had any success with dating sites?
if so, which one?
In my ever-continuing quest for the love, yes.
It pisses me off because you can put a profile on for free, but to get with someone you have to buy a membership. Damn. Forget it.
I'll just take my chances at the swingers club.

ok, it isn't really crack... but it might as well be!.
i have to be very careful not to leave any plastic bags anywhere around my apartment or my cat will try to eat it.
i'm always paying close attention to the plastic bags that i bring home from the store... they all go straight in to a covered trash can so that the cat can't get them.. now, for the last two days he has been puking all over the place and i can't find any plastic that he might have been eating off of... but i am finding the plastic in his puke... so i know thats what is going one.
You should think about getting your cat neutered or something.

remember that show doogie howser, m.d.?..
well if he was a jdub, he would have gotten baptized at 4, started pioneering right away because it's the first privelege u can receive when u get baptized... he'd be in bethel by the time he's 6. at age 8 he'd be an elder.
by the time he was 11 he'd be a c.o.
Got another "If Bush were a Jdub..."
If Bush were a Jdub, he wouldn't be President for very long, because there would be a massive mob on the White House to beat the living crap out of him, because he did all the stuff mentioned above in my last two posts on this thread.
Especially war veterans would come to kick his ass bc of the flag thing.
