so i was having an interesting thought the other night -- albeit probably not original, but interesting.
what would be accomplished if thousands of us banded together and held a huge protest of the issue of shunning family right behind the governing body's headquarters (25 columbia heights) in brooklyn bridge park?
the shunning of non-believing family is a strong issue that i'm sure everyone of us could get behind 100%.
It's obviously the choice of those who think it would be "helpful" and those who also would participate in the actual demonstration. More importantly, the pre-demonstration press release would be critical. Then the demonstrators themselves should prepared and articulate enough to take advantage of live press coverage.
My personal opinion is that shunning should be challenged in the courts, not the media.
quentin robburts has been on jw-net off and on for over 6 years and he is one of my oldest and most loyal friends.. his wife called me awhile ago and gave me the news.. quentin was rushed to the hospital's emergency room with acute renal failure and congestive heart failure.. .
this does not surprise me for the following reason.
his pain doctor put him on oxycontin last thursday.
A life that many of us can relate to. How old is Quentin? (My fathers name was Quentin.) Thanks for keeping us posted, terry.

All that's reported is that he died of "natural causes". Vague. Falling off a three story bldg. is a "natural cause" of death.
Anyway, I'd like to know because I'm the same age.
this weekend i had the most delicious chicken pie filled with white meat, a few veggies, gravy and the chicken pie had a hard crust, not puff pastry.
yum!
that with a soft wheat roll and butter......
When I was a kid, we drank Bosco and liked it better than Nestles.
No shit!, Bosco was the caviar of chocolate to squirt into a glass of milk. By the way, the milk was whole. In fact we used to get milk with the cream floating on top.
We were so poor that we drank Ovaltine with powdered milk. Ovaltine was a disgusting substitute for cocoa.
PS If you read this Mom, this is not a complaint, just a fond memory
should i do it this year - which would be the minimum five year interval, or wait until the maximum ten year interval?.
divine guidance is needed..
I recommend a little piece of black electrical tape over the warning light. Worked wonders on an old Ford I had.

i heard rutherford was dead for three days before anyone found him, has this been verified by outside sources?
the rat bites creep me out, how could anyone leave a saint like him to die alone?
The only thing left of him were the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet.
i'm relatively new here.
this is a question to admin / longer members.. have you noticed a greater influx of membership here since the 'new lighttm' regarding the 'governing body' was revealed?.
Simon,
Good to hear of the increase. Can you break it down between anointed and other sheep?
i have a sick kid.
how was your day?
any new year resolutions?.
A windy, clear, beautiful day. Cold as all get out in. (29 degrees f max. today) All outdoor water sources are frozen solid so I put out warm drinking water for the thirsty critters and they have appreciated it.
2013. I'm sure it will make its mark.
resolutions - I am vaguely determined to keep on keeping on.
i would like to thank everyone who is a part of this community.
i have been abused by this billion dollar evil religion since i was born.
i am now in my late thirties and have been battling depression issues over my former abuses by this nongoverment organization.

congratulations on you survival and success.
Your experience is easy to relate to. Thank you so mch for sharing it here.
perfect thread title if you don't want anyone to even hit on it.. i guarantee you could make someone read the list of ingredients on a package of instant breakfast mix if you worded it the right way..
Good point, wha.
