It never ceases to amaze me how the Dubs never address the real issues.
Peace - LL
these are some comments that some have made to me recently:.
at meeting-a brother: "that anderson sister was lying and here's how i know-no sister has access to those files, only brothers in position do.".
in field service-a sister: "look what happens when we don't wait on jehovah and take matters into our own hands.".
It never ceases to amaze me how the Dubs never address the real issues.

the silentlamb issue is major!
this movement is truly historical and i am proud to be associated with it.
but i was wondering, why is the silentlamb issue getting the major focus?
The SilentLamb issue is MAJOR! This movement is truly historical and I am proud to be associated with it. But I was wondering, why is the SilentLamb issue getting the major focus? Wouldn't you agree that it's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the MAJOR problems of the BORG. I asked that question to a few people and they said it is because children are involved, and that captures peoples attention. Some said Bill utilize the media better than others. But what do you think, why is the child abuse the major issue at this point and not the Blood Issue, Shunning, 1914, UN, Alternative Service, False Prophecies, Voting, etc.? Just Wondering.

this is my first post at this website i discovered a week ago and just love.
it so hilarious sometimes.
i used to post on pro-witness sites long ago but got rejected after a apostate attack!!
Greetings Syn - Welcome to this site :) I spent a weekend in Amsterdam a few months ago, and let me say NYC has nothing on Amsterdam :) Anyway, yes you made some serious charges about the rituals. My uncle was telling me the same thing after he read one of David Icke's book. Did you happen to read his books? He's dubbed the most controversial speaker in the world. I consider myself open minded, but some of his ideas I can't fathom - Like the 'Shape Shifting' ideas or the Draconian/Reptilian Theories.
I look forward to reading your ideas - Welcome aboard.

picture the scene:.
you are a young single brother with no other jw family members.
you manage to tot up 90hrs a month in "field service";spend five hours per week preparing your watchtower for the study, however you are not an extremely extrovert person and don't try to "impress" the elders and the co. it seems though that this "spiritual" person never seems to be appointed as a ms or an excesively long time passes by before he does become such.
Wow, what a question. I think every brother has felt he was overlooked for some 'privileged' of kingdumb service. In fact that was one of the top ten conversation topics among brothers. I was overlooked once. When I was a 'bloom of youth' teenager I was dating a sister and were invloved in heavy petting. All was fine, until I decided to break up. Afterwards, as her last resort to get back with me she said "I'm going to tell the Elders we were petting, my conscious bothers me." Since I was in fear of the older men at that time, I was really scared, in fact that was the first time I broke out in hives!!!! A meeting was called and I went in confessing from the start - I threw myself at the mercy of the 'kangaroo' court. I only got a reprimand - a slap on the wrist. At least I thought it was. A year later, as I was reaching out, I was selected to be in a part at the assembly hall. After a couple of rehearsals, the brothers start acting funny, and they did not tell me about the next rehearsals, so I asked when was the next rehearsal, and they said "well, b/c you had a problem with that sister from the other hall you are not exemplary and we can't use you." I was crushed, but it made me more determine to reach out for other privleges.
I'll stop there - I look forward to other peoples experiences.

i'm curious to know if anyone has noticed different behavior from their dub family and friends since the aug. km about disfellowshipped ones.
i've noticed that my mother is no longer emailing me, nor is she responding to my emails.
i really wish that she would just come out directly and state that she will no longer talk to me instead of just ignoring everything, thinking i will go away.
W-Pen, Thank for opening this discussion. When I first read that KM last month, I went on the offense and wrote a letter to my JW family stating I don't anything to do with them based on that KM of 8/02.
Word got back to me saying they were all wondering how I got that information b4 them :) Hey, who was the first one to post that info. on this board?
The one I really feel for is my younger sister. She was in the BORG since birth, and I was her only father figure for a long time (my father died when she was still in my mother's womb.) So the natural affection for family is strong with her, although she give into the pressure and didn't invite me to her wedding. Anyway, last week I took a different route to the veggie store, and I bumped into her. I didn't even know she worked in the Wall St./City Hall area. She give me the biggest hug, I mean it was a bear hug, I couldn't get out of it, and all the while she was saying "I love you, I love you." Then she said "why did you write that letter?" I said "did you read the whole thing?" and she said "Yes, but you didn't have to write that." I said "The letter explains everything." She ended it by saying "I'll call you." However, that was before her Hall discussed that KM - I doubt if she would call now. I said all of that to say, I could tell she's torn between the BORG orders and her natural love for her older brother. Hopefully one day in the future the BORG will stay out of family affairs - wishful thinking :)

evidence is growing that the society now recognizes the grave.
danger of holding on to the blood doctrine and is quickly trying.
to 'fade it to black'.. it is likely that most witnesses will passively go along with this.
"It is easy to imagine the Society publically asserting that blood transfusion was 'always a matter of conscience' " ~ I can definately see that happening in the near future.
I'm glad you mention the blood issue b/c the silentlamb issue is just the tip of the iceberg - the BORG has MUCH to answer for - more on that later :)
I think their downfall, like most organizations and world powers, will be time. I just hope it's during my 'generation'.
