Terry. Dosen't the Wt. say the reason they are not a cult is because they don't follow a man. But what you just brought out shows they are a cult by what they stated? Or am I not looking at it right? Totally ADD

We quack like ducks but are not ducks, we waddle like ducks but are not ducks
by Terry inwho could have foreseen that over 100 years later it would amount to a small band of senior citizens ruling over a vast empire of true believers in excess of 7 million souls?
yet, in reality, that is what the watchtower society amounts to.
people who are contrarian in view who don't want to admit the mainstream churches might be right still insist jesus christ is already among us playing second fiddle to brooklyn new york's ever-changing doctrines and explanations of a 2,000 year old jewish book.. .

Thank you Mum. Talesin so sorry about your parents. I remember my father telling me when I was a kid if I ever left the Wt. he would never talk to me again. Cult thinking is so sick. Totally ADD

Pyramid - Common Knowledge?
by NeverKnew ini was telling my extended family (also non-jws) about the pyramid near russell's grave i saw months ago.
i showed them pictures of the four sides and the interesting inscriptions along with the pictures of the founder's grave.. there are a couple of jw women who come to see my cousin every once in a while.
last week, she mentioned the pyramid.

My wife and I found out when back in the 90's the Wt. had a letter read to all congregations about not going to russels grave site. They said we did not want it to look like we was worshiping him. It was really a lame letter. That's when my wife and I wanted to know why even more. But it took us almost 15 years later to look into it. Totally ADD

I remember back in the 70's the hour talk on Sunday was about animals. He talk mostly about cat's and dog's. He brought out things that was totally false about animals. He said things like they don't think they are just program to do the things they do. They have no feelings. They are just dumb animals with no idea they are alive only do what they do because that is how god made them. It really showed how dumb the Wt. was on the subject. Those GB city boys don't have a clue about cat's and dog's let alone anything else. Totally ADD

As many know Reopened Mind and I have had a very angry letter sent to us by our oldest son. Also the letter I shared with all of you to send to him was sent. We have not heard a word from him. Both Reopened Mind and I are doing better but with very heavy hearts. So the other night I had a very vivid dream. Usually I never remember my dreams but this one I can't get it out of my head. Here is how it went. "There was a knock on our front door. When we opened it there was our oldest son standing there. He asked if he could come in and talk. Of course we said yes. Now remember we live over 600 miles from him. Our son and us starting saying how sorry we all were. Then we stood up and hugged each other. Then he said we can work all of this out and things will be fine. I was so happy to see him and hear his voice and I knew this problem will be resolved." I woke up feeling real good but soon after a hour of thinking about the dream I knew that exactly what it was but a dream.
I read today on freeminds about lady Lee trouble with her child. It showed me it just not us who are going through this. Then I thought of Flipper and his problems with his kids. Again I see I am in good company with those who children want nothing to do with us. I got to thinking about this mind set this Wt. cult has caused. How it has made our kids victims and will as us on not allowing us to have a loving close family with them. My oldest son told me in his letter not to blame the Wt. reglion because he feels it did not cause this. Again the cult has mess up his thinking even though he thinks it hasn't. But it has. It cause him to think there is only one answer to a problem and he has the right answer. He looks at this problem as them against us. Not how can we lovingly fix this thing. No just like the cult he thinks he needs to attack this problem with a Atom Bomb destorying everthing around him instead of using common sense and love.
All I can say is it is the cult that caused all of this. We just like many others on this board are casualties of the Wt. Cult. They have dealt another blow to people who just wanted to do what was right. Instead we all got the raw end of human relationships. I hope my dream will come true some day. But as they say I will not hold my breath. I have now learned the hard way in what it means to lose a child to the Wt. Cult. Good luck to all you who are going through this same thing and to those who are starting to wake up and our faced with major decision about how this will effect their family. Our thoughts will be with you. Totally ADD

Sorry to hear a young man of 31 died. That is the same age our youngest child is. I did not know him or who he was. Never watch Glee or even know what it is about. The news did say he had trouble with addiction to drugs or something like that and he was fighting it. Upsetting indeed to see a young life come to a sudden end. Hopefully those who was close to him will get comfort in the fact he was a good person and try to clean up his problem. Maybe that will help them to help others with the same problem. Thanks for bringing this up. Totally ADD

When they past that law of standing your ground serveral years ago in FL I knew something like this would happen. To get even with states like FL who have laws like this is to banned them and not go to their state for vacation or do business there. If enough people did this maybe FL law makers and others would see how dumb they really are. The color green does have the loudest voice. A young man was murdered by a guy who was trying to prove something. I hope the Martin family sue's the crap out of Zimmerman. That is the only justice the Martin family will get. Totally ADD

Literature Display Stands... Turning JWs into stationary targets...
by Calebs Airplane inbecause of the membership retention issues that seem to continue getting worse, the watchtower corporation appears to be running out of ideas.
in the past, when the numbers have dropped (membership, fs hours, rag placements, money, etc.
) they always came up with a "hook" that would give them a boost until the next drop in numbers (i.e.

JW's are the worm on the hook being dangle in front of the UN. Of course the UN goes out and destorys all other relgions in the world first and the WT is the only one standing. When they see the JW's still going out in service and to meetings that's when the UN goes after them. I can't believe I use to believe this stuff. I can just see the over 1 billion Muslims going down peacefully let alone any other reglion. I know god will but it into their hearts to do it. I always found it interesting that other countrys have banned the Wt. but that did not bring on the big A. Only if they are banned in the U.S. will it bring it on. It's good to live in the U.S. LOL Totally ADD
