Hello
Lizard
just popped in to say hello.
i have been offline for about a month, but expect to be back in the next week or so.
out of the sites i visit, i miss everyone here the most.
Hello
Lizard
got this one today.... i got this from a sister in our hall, it show's when we have that gut feeling to go back to a door we were just at to follow that feeling!
i hope you enjoy it.
we enjoyed this experience and you will probably enjoy it as well.
Unfortunately, Patsy didnt know that Satan actually send the J dubs to her door. Satan can make himself appear as an angel of light and trick people into joining his cults ;)

here is a crazy site that is trying to shut down the landover baptist web site.
i can't help but wonder if it is a joke.. http://207.67.219.101/objective/index.html.
fyi: landover is located at: www.landoverbaptist.com.
I consider myself a Christian but...I must say that the Landover website does a fine job of poking fun at the corrupt and non scriptural ways of alot of the traditional Christian churches.

what do you think of this idea, has it been done?
i was thinking that if i did decide to da myself, one fun way to do it might be to place a public notice in a regional paper.
something not libelous(unfortunately), just saying that i no longer wanted to be know as one of jws because i could not reconcile the discrepancies/divide between jws organization and the bible.
LMAO! I say "do it"...Just think you could be the first one to ever DA yourself in the classifieds.

got this in an email today from someone - thought it might be of interest.
we've all heard or read scores of these, so if this is not new sorry to make you read it again.. of course the fact it was related at a circuit assembly makes it the stone cold truth :)!.
subject: re: fw: jehovah hears prayers.
Satan told the little boy what to say ...Boooo Ha Ha Ha Ha!

quote.
"i feel you should remember where you got the truth.
first, who was the one feeding you to where you are now.".
how about...
What good is being fed...when you are being fed garbage?

because of my connection with the jws, i have also become interested in learning about other religions.
not to join them but to learn about them.
so anyway i like to read about mormons also, so i found a site kinda like this called ldstalk.com then click on the message board link.
Thanks Monkey...I'll check it out

what can i say...i love music.. revelations 14:3 talks about the 144,000 and how they sing a song that no one else can learn but them.. 3 and they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders.
no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.
my question is....do the members of the 'annointed' class already know that song.
*Noidea...I would say that the 'rank and file' would probably be assigned literal numbers.
*But, on the other hand it might create some confusion.
*I mean, what happens if an annointed person say...smokes a cigarette, defiles himself with a woman or eats blood sausage and falls out of favor with the Organization?
*One could imagine that the numbers would get reassigned from time to time.
*This alone would create the new position of Annointed Accountant.
*Personaly, I would suggest that this person be proficient at using ACT, FilemakerPro, or maybe Access database.
*For all I know...this position already exists *shrugs

because of the internet:.
i will never become a jw;.
my mother will never become a jw;.
With regards to the terrible, evil internet...
I feel so badly for the folks in the org. who choose to avoid the meaning of the verse at John 8:31-32.
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to MY teaching, you are really MY disciples. 32 Then you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free."
A side note to this is that one can clearly see from John 8:31-32 that the 'truth' existed way before the WBTS did.

Littletoe...I think Marley is a great choice...I also think that Tony Bennett is really kewl.
Aguest...I appreciate your kind response...from reading your reply...I would be led to believe that you are one of the annointed...and I am honored that you would reply...I am curious as to whether or not the 'annointed' ones are privy to what 'spiritual' tribe of Israel they are from...which one are you from?
Mark J...I'm glad that you too share that song...I have a heavenly hope too but I'm afraid that I dont descend from any of the 12 tribes of 'spiritual' Israel...well as far as I know ;)
If I could choose a tribe it would probably be Naphtali..because..well..the name sounds really kewl.
I would enjoy hearing the song...whether or not I may play along.
If you would be so kind...please...would both Aguest and Mark J send me sound clips of the song?
