Lived in Atlanta at one point in my life....Had just bought a new car. An Elder chided me for having Olympic car tags on the car. OH MY GOD! How petty!

what is the dumbest thing you've been reproved/chided/df'd for?
by rather be in hades ini'm a big science nerd and i remember when we were going over the creator book, that the big bang doesn't necessarily prove there is no god.. i said this comment during book study and the conductor's jaw dropped.
everyone was pretty uncomfortable and it didn't help that he ct me off as i was explaining the red shift and mom wasn't too happy about all that.
i had to do a lot of bible research and write some nonsense about how the big bang was not reality or some sort...ugh.. .

FOURTEEN DEAD IN DENVER SHOOTING !
by Phizzy inmore than one gunman seems to be involved in this terrible act.
families were attending mid-night showings of the dark knight movie.. the media should not give publicity tothe names of the perpetrators, they often crave the fame.
give them that fame and others will crave it too.. my thoughts are with the families of all that are affected, a horrific and pointless act that will bring so much pain and sorrow.. edited to say, seems as though it was a lone gunman..

When legislation was passed to outlaw the sale and drinking of alcohol in the USA in the early part of the 20th century, it drove the problem underground and created a perfect foothold for the mob or mafia. The laws against illegal drugs in the USA has created a perfect storm in Mexico, upsetting their their whole country and resulting in the murders of thousands and mayhem to the local populace. Has it done anything to combat illegal drug usage in the US? No, not really. Meth labs are being set up in peoples cars, homes and the like. All the legislation in the world won't stop the problem. If gun ownership were outlawed in the US, it would result in outright gang wars over the importation of illegal weapons, we cannot police our own borders now, keeping out illegal immigrants and illegal drugs! Banning guns does NOTHING!

Great....More CRAP about gun laws! I live in Mexico in CONSTANT fear because we cannot own guns! Yet, all of the gangs HAVE THEM! They are carving what they want out of our lives. Shaking down businesses etc. All because they know we are defenseless! When guns are outlawed then the outlaws have the guns.

RAY FRANZ TODAY
by Scott77 inits has been almost two decades if i am correct since ray franz released the heartbreaking books: "crisis of conscience" and "in search of christian freedom".
since then, many of us have been released from bondage of the wts and set free.
by the way, where is ray franz today, what is he doing?

Introducing Mrs Cedars...
by cedars ini just thought you should know that mrs cedars has finally taken the plunge and joined the forum.
she was able to log on for the first time yesterday.. though we both "awakened" at different stages, mrs cedars was very supportive and non-judgmental when i first began exploring my beliefs from a critical standpoint.
she is currently in the process of reading crisis of conscience and aquainting herself with some of the facts of witness history that were hitherto unknown.

I am getting into books as well. I already own Crisis of Conscience and have just ordered In Search of christian freedom. I hope they will help me more with my questions about the org etc. Hope to get Combatting mind control etc. The whole range of cult books!
And lastly I collect Marvel and DC Essential and Showcase volumes.
Now all of this is REALLY hard to do in Mexico but somehow I am doing it.
Any other collectors out there?

Are we being true to our yes? Well if you Brooklyn guys had told us the ENTIRE truth then we could have weighed our options. Instead we had to find out from Raymond Franz!!!

I messed myself up...
by MC RubberMallet inthe past few weeks have been hectic.. but i went through an experience that has messed me up since.. i met up with an old friend one day who i know went apostate.
it was a really bad day for me, which was really bad for me since i've been taking ttatt as a speed bump but still moving along in life with an ok adjustment.
he since brought a really nice house, cars, new job, everything he always wanted without feeling guilt.
