"The laundry list of crazed behavior from this guy is almost unbelievable. His cult experience has fed his insanity in the most horrible ways. I wonder which came first, the cult indoctrination or the insanity?"
Well..it was my experience that most of the studies I was involved in were with people who were emotionally unbalanced to start with. The wacko stuff they feed you in the organization only fuels that. It gives the unbalanced people a cause celeb like that man who murdered his wife and kids a little while back. It doesnt MATTER if the man had ever been baptized...if he was acting on what he was TAUGHT there.
Which makes me believe that if the society said someday to pull a Jonestown...a huge chunk of followers would do it.

Prince could stand on the roof at Bethel and belt out songs about masturbation...and the GB would love it as long as he passed out autographed copies of the magazines while doing so! What better way to ADVERTISE ADVERTISE ADVERTISE Milty's Kingdom than to glom onto the coat tails of a celeb! Like the Wayons, the Williams Sisters, George Benson, Michael Jackson and others. The run of the mill JW cant even go to freakin PROM without reprimand...but the celebs? They can do whateeeeever they want to. Good news is, when Prince crashes and burns..so will anybody who signed up just because he did. Fame has its price.
Does Prince's face on the cover of the "Alas!" make it any more the truth? Does John Trivolta's being a Scientologist make IT the truth? Or Richard Gere's Dahli Lamaism?
Yeah..."When Dubs Cry"...thats my fav.

Suspect in Alaskan school stabbings ignores judge
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, May 8 (Reuters) - A man arrested for allegedly slashing the throats of four Anchorage children outside their school refused to answer a judge's questions at a court hearing on Tuesday, then urged onlookers to kill themselves and their children.
Jason Pritchard, 33, was arraigned in state Superior Court on four charges of attempted murder and four charges of first-degree assault.
He did not respond when addressed during his first court appearance after the attack, and court officers strapped him into his chair after he tried several times to stand up and walk away.
When he started shouting, they took him out of the room.
"Kill the young children. Kill yourself," he said as he was taken away. "Kill the young children first, then kill yourself."
Pritchard was arrested after an attack at Mountain View Elementary School before classes started Monday morning.
He is accused of attacking children who were in the playground and lining up for breakfast service offered to low-income families.
Four boys, 7 to 9 years old, received life-threatening stabs in the neck, the Anchorage Police Department said. They were sent to local hospitals and some were listed, at one point, in critical condition.
Pritchard was cornered in the school by teachers, and police using rubber bullets subdued him.
As of late Monday, two of the boys had been released from the hospital, one was listed in serious condition, and one was listed in fair condition, according to television reports.
Pritchard has a long history of psychiatric problems, according to the charging document filed by the state Department of Law.
He has a history of stalking and threatening children, with incidents reported in the Kenai Peninsula, according to the document. He also has a history of drunk and reckless driving, according to the document.
Pritchard has had religious delusions and tried to castrate himself to make himself more pure, according to the document.
He has argued repeatedly that children should be killed to protect them from sin.
According to the document, Pritchard had been a practicing member of the Jehovah's Witnesses but was excommunicated for visiting massage parlors.

Man Arraigned for Stabbing Children
By MARY PEMBERTON
.c The Associated PressANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A man charged with slashing the throats of four children at their elementary school screamed ``Kill the young children. Kill yourself'' after a court appearance Tuesday.
Jason Pritchard, 33, had refused to answer questions during his arraignment on four counts each of first-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault. All four children survived.
``Are you Mr. Pritchard? Well, I'm told that you are,'' District Judge Natalie Finn said. ``Do you understand what I'm saying? Do you hear me?''
Pritchard, who was not represented by a lawyer, did not respond. But as the hearing ended and Pritchard was led from the court, police had to restrain him as he yelled:
``Kill the young children. Kill yourself. Kill the young children first, then kill yourself.''
Pritchard is charged with stabbing the children Monday as they were waiting at Mountain View Elementary School for the school's breakfast program to begin. He dropped the knife and was arrested after police shot him three times with bean bag projectiles, authorities said.
Police searched the area around Pritchard's car and found a handwritten note entitled, ``Remember Columbine,'' prosecutors said.
``Also you must have the faith that killing little children is their only hope and don't you be afraid of wicked people killing you and sending you to meet God & Jesus,'' the note said, according to authorities.
Cody Brown, 7, was in serious condition and Stephan Hansell, 8, was in fair condition after receiving 34 stitches. Eric Moy, 9, and Billy Moy, 8, were released from the hospital Tuesday.
``I get the impression it was for shock value. It seems he's doing this crazy act,'' said Keith Leonard, grandfather of the Moy brothers, after Pritchard's outburst Tuesday.
The children's grandmother, Wilma Leonard, said Pritchard needed psychiatric treatment.
``He's got some severe problems. He needs help,'' she said.
Pritchard was being held on $2 million cash bail. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Thursday.
Authorities say that when police arrived at the school, teacher Jeff Harriman was standing between Pritchard and Hansell, who was lying on the floor bleeding. Harriman was using a student desk to keep Pritchard away from the boy.
An officer helped the teacher and the boy flee the room. As the officers kept Pritchard at gunpoint, he was talking about sending ``his little brothers and sisters to Jehovah,'' according to the court documents.
Pritchard, who was born in Eugene, Ore., apparently was living in his car at the time of Monday's attacks. He had been arrested 13 times since 1994 on charges that include assault, stalking, criminal trespassing and driving while intoxicated, police said. He used the Southcentral Counseling Center in Anchorage as a mailing address.

Things That NEVER Made Sense To Me:
by Englishman ineven when i was a dyed in the wool jw, there were a few things that never made any sense whatsoever to me.

"all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial for teaching".

I didnt read all these so I hope Im not repeating something...but I could never understand the following:
If the Faithful and Discreet Slave CLASS comprises 7000+ give or take, individuals called the annointed remnant, and they are supposed to receive new light and give us our spiritual food at the proper time...how come only a dozen of them ever received any of this new light and the rest had to wait for the new release at the District Convention like the rest of us? ARe there now THREE classes of Christians? Other Sheep, Annointed and SUPERMAXI annointed?
2) If Jesus returned in 1914, invisibly or NOT, and the scriptures say about the memorial to keep doing this UNTIL I RETURN...how come the WTS is still doing it?
3) If new light NEVER replaces or contradicts old light...per the WTS...then how can they not only REPLACE but REVERSE their light on subjects and even go BACK and FORTH between new and old light as in the case with Soddom and Gomorrah and DFing for not screaming when raped?
I could go on...too tired to :)

Introspection - this is a picture of what forensic archeologists believe Jesus really looked like, based on the finding of a skull from very close to the time when Jesus lived from the place he lived. It is also based on artwork of that period and records of how people looked. Its a far cry from what most renditions of Jesus look like which are mostly Eastern European in nature and source. There was a Discovery Channel special at Easter about Jesus life/history/and the bible accounts that was VERY interesting. Really put a whole new perspective on things. It did include interestingly, that the Romans DID use "stauros", trees, to hang people in Jesus day...as they were hanging so many that they would just use the olive trees along the roads. So...the WTS was right about that, but they USED CROSS BEAMS...and there is NO denying that. I suppose in the minds of the WTS to have SOME of the truth is good enough..who needs ALL of the truth when it's gonna bring you right back to wherever everybody ELSE has been for 2 millenia?

Call his Kingdom Hall, ask for the Presiding Overseer. Then tell the PO that you have one of his flock sleeping and living at your apartment and ask for suggestions as to what to do with him.
He will soon after that be DE-FLOCKED, or totally flocked, probably will be disfellowshipped and will have a swift kick in the reality check. It aint your week to watch him babe...kick his sorry ass to the curb.

I AM one of those full figured women, and there are days I wish I could see my bones again, like I did when I was modeling...but then my children come and lay in my lap and nestle their heads against my ampleness and sigh contendedly how they love me, and all those ad campaigns for "less is more" leave my mind.
