i ran across this while i was lookin up a reference from another post.
here's a summary.
july 2013 wt.
As Jehovah's witnesses we were taught that the most important thing was to help save other people's eternal lives. There is no time for any other good deeds. It keeps the rank and file from straying from the flock, which suits the WBTS's needs just fine. As long as headquarters is happy, they don't care about anyone or anything else.
How glad I am to no longer associate with them.
to twins!!!!!!
melanie ( my daughter that passed away in 1999 that had twins,)tara & ashley .
( who posted on here years ago.
Best wishes and congratulations, Mouthy.
Glad you are still hanging in there.
Glad you are still hanging in there.
there was an short article in my local paper today that started out with "mormons expand use of technology".
i am horrible at scanning so i will quote some of the article, it said "the common images of mormon missionaries has long been two young men wearing white shirts and ties walking through neighborhoods, knocking door-to-door.
but in a few years, that image may be replaced by one of young mormons sitting with an ipad, typing messages on facebook.
Who knows what will happen. The religion is constantly changing. The WBTS will do whatever it takes to survive.
hey guys it's been about three months since i've been on here, since then a lot has happened.
i left my family, moved in with my boyfriend and i am free of the cult.
my dad still talks to me but my other relatives haven't said a thing to me.
My daughter was shunning me and she softened up. I wrote her heart wrenching letters begging her not to shun me. She and her husband allow me to call anytime and I also get to visit them in there home. The rule is I don't trash the WBTS. I am not df'd or da'd, just have told her ttatt and she thinks I am an apostate.
Mother love can be very strong. Where you real close?
from a human apostate talk transcript.. "apostates profess to be followers of jesus..they lie to authorities...apostatesare not sincere in their expressions.
their aim is to manipulate your mind and undermine your faith... they are liars and deceivers" http://www.harvestmessenger.com/forum/index.php?topic=1023.0.
Literally everything that is said from the platform at every meeting or assembly is propaganda. It makes me sick to listen to it.

Your dad is super cool. Hang in there, maybe Mother will soften her position.
Congratulations on your new life. You are going to be fine.
any advice about what really works for deep wrinkles/ sun damage?
the new system is not here, and i worked outside for years without adequate protection from the sun.
i don't want to be overly-concerned about looks because we all age.
Hyaleronic Acid, Alpha Lipoic Acid in suppliment form and is available as ingredients in a great deal of anti aging creams. I am told I look 10 - 15 years younger than I am. I also use a vitamin C/grape seed extract serum.

We live in a college town. I was thinking about getting a professor to allow me to put it on his letterhead and have him sign it, with his approval of course.
What about other respected individuals in the area. They should be secular sources I suppose.
