So...the bible doesnt say to follow the faithful and discreet slave...CORRECT?

by Joliette in

if i'm not mistaken, there is no bible verse to support following the 'faithful and discreet' slave?.

am i correct?

i know i have to research this, but to give me a jumpstart...?.

elderelite -

your little rant on going out on 'your own terms' is silly. just what in heck is stopping you from doing it now??

oh wait, you're afraid. you wrote something about your family and such. really??? thats ur b.s.(as u put it) reverse-psychology obstacle slash hurdle slash chaincuff 'obstacle' to freedom??

u know what i would do if me and my family were in burning house about to cave in on me? grab them and GET THE HECK OUT!!

instead ur sitting there analyzing all the angles, all the posibilities, all the 'terms'. u and ur family are burning elderelite!! GET THE HECK OUT!

oh wait, ur an elder and standing up for ur 'freedom' and its aftermath would be just plain embarrasing and a hit to ur invaluable repuation.

fear does that to you...very paralyzing

& brotherdan

sounds like u've got quite a conundrum...how far are u willing to go to 'liberate' yourself and ur wife?

wats more valuable to you, your relationship or your 'freedom'? your time really is coming isnt it?

'they still have some power over you' ?????? they obviously do if they've managed to make you believe this!!

exwitness ---

did you just say its been 10 whole years since you 'walked out'? why the heck r us still coming to 'jw.net' and associating yourself with the organization? why is it so hard to just plain leave, really leave??

and its people like loubelle that cant stand to hear the 'truth' around here.

fact is, anybody that comes here whos been df'ed or semi-left the organization REALLY CANT let go. its like the poor squirrel who cant decide to just freaking cross the road. they're scared.

of course they are, the world is a lonely and cruel world- a website like this is a crutch, a cane, the proverbial bone

all this silly quoting of km's and elder letters, posting & analyzing of watchtower articles makes u darn well more informed and current than some real witness folks out there, lol!

here's a brilliant concept, get the REAL heck out AND DONT LOOK BACK, remembe you want freedom.

once i figured State Farm was ripping me off on my life insurance i cancelled and neverlooked back.

so...someone would write a letter to ...save the elders some trouble?? make it easier on them??

if you're heading toward the exit, who cares what the elders' legality issues or future considerations are?

Could it possibly be true that YOU.......wish.....to be......FOOLED?!

by Terry in

there is an implicit pact between the magician and the audience.. .

an audience attending a magic act is in attendance for two main reasons.. 1.entertainment.

2.the desire to match wits with a puzzle and its solution and the determined effort to be amazed when this fails.. yet, above all else, the audience does not really wish to discover the secret.

lionpaw

nooooo....thank you

i think i'll pass

what you've been discussing here is entertainment 'magic'.

talk to person who's messed with the wrong kind of magic (sorcery, demonism,black arts,spiritism,etc) i assure you there wasnt a whole lot of fooling around.

that stuff i hear is scary real...
