i'm visiting hong kong at the moment and i'm on the underground train at 10 am - it's sunday morning.
sunday is the day off for 200,000 maids (politically correct term is domestic helper).
they are mostly from the phillipines.
Danny, I know I have a very honest face. Sadly iIt worked well for me as a dub. These days I get so little opportunity to achieve the opposite of what I achieved as a Witness. (talked way to many into joining)! :-(
Hey I'd do an anti witness talk circuit if I had the opportunity!!!! - now there's an idea!!!!!!!!

I'm visiting Hong Kong at the moment and I'm on the underground train at 10 am - it's Sunday morning. Sunday is the day off for 200,000 maids (politically correct term is domestic helper). They are mostly from the Phillipines. There are a number of maids on the train and I suddenly spot two girls, who are obviously maids, and one has a Watchtower in her hand. I am with hubby who is an ex jw too. I look at him and tell him I have to talk to them. I could tell that they were not JWs yet because they weren't wearing the costume. They had slacks on. A good sign!! But the Watctower??? Yikes!!! I leave my seat and go over to the girls and tell them how dangerous the Watchtower is and not to trust anything Jehovah's Witnesses tell them. I told them it is a religion based on lies. I tell them that it might sound good initially but it is very dangerous and has the power to hurt them very badly. They listened and told me that they had the Watchtower for a friend but that they would take head of what I said. They said they were catholics. I told them that being catholics was way better than being JWs. They seemed very grateful for my words of warning.
My husband thought it took courage to do what I did. It didn't. It felt great!
Please folks, keep up your incidental anti witness efforts and report your time here.
Have a good day now -I did!!!

well, tomorrow's the big day........i'm nervous but i just want the surgery over with.
anyway, i'll be out of commission for a while, so i thought i'd say bye and thanks for all your support over the last few weeks.. take care everyone!.
Mary, all the best for the surgery. You will be missed. You have such wonderful insights and humor. (I keep asking whether you were on H20?) Anyway I'm sure someone like you have prepared well and chosen a good doctor. I wish you a speedy recovery!

coming soon in the religious fantasy journal "the watchtower".
yikes!
i hope this doesn't qualify as speaking abusively of a glorious one!
gumby, yes it was in the movie. My version anyway. had you thought your version might have edited it out? It's the young couple (her with the long hair and him who bores everyone to death). We have watched that movie many, many times. I don't think we picked it up at first. It just killed my husband, who first heard it.
Marilyn (ps we lived in Hong Kong when we first saw it. It was called Flying High over there. It was heavily censored. Latter we borrowed it from an Aussie video store - it was called Airplane, and had far less cut out of it).
43,000 women will die this year from breast cancer.. this killer is a personal one for me.
i lost my mother last year to this horrible disease.
she battled this cancer for a long time and endured much pain since her diagnosis.
I come to this thread rather late as I've spent the last few days reading about breast cancer on the internet - it's where I am when I'm not here. My mother is now stage 4 and her sister died of bilateral bc. One thing I would encourage women to do is learn more about the disease because when you get it (1 in 8 women in America will get breast cancer in their life time) you realise there is such a lot to know. You should never trust your doctors 100%. They make lots of mistakes with breast cancer. In my mothers case her surgeon didn't get all the cancer when he performed a lumpectomy. Nor did he tell her he should go back and get clean margins or do a mastectomy. My mother is aged 77 and was diagnosed 10 yrs ago. She has been lucky that her cancer initially responded well to hormone blockers. But now she has it in her bones and she is very ill. I recently found out that about 30% of breast cancers over express a protein called HER2. So a few weeks ago I insisted my mother be tested for this. Mum was HER2+ and is now receiving a very expensive antibody (herceptin) in the form of a weekly infusion which has a good chance of buying her some more time. Also the bisphosphonates drugs are a new treatment for bone cancer which strengthen the bones and make it more difficult for the cancer to spread thru them. There are many new treatments for breast cancer, but sadly the death rate hasn't dropped much in 50 yrs.
I could go on all day on this subject. to you Mrs Shakita, learn all you can - because I don't believe they have found all the familial genes responsible for bc yet. Try: www.bcans.ca/ this is where I learnt about bc - certainly enough to keep my mother alive when her doctors didn't appear competent enough to do it.

now that you know about the truth of the blood doctrine, would you feel, even a little bit uncomfortable agreeing to take a blood transfusion?
btw, my mother asked me if i would still honor her wishes for refusal of blood.
i told her that even though my view has changed, i would respect her decision, even if i felt that it was wrong.
2.5 yrs before we stopped meetings our first child was born. The doc said she was quite sick. Hubby and me didn't know what the problem was but having seen her and finding her quite agreeable we decided if they said she needed blood, she'd get it. We flunked the blood test!

I remember when you used to sit on my face and wriggle.....
i went to a beautiful wedding today.
billygoat a/k/a andrea macelfresh was married to neil weathersbee (mozzer4life) in an outdoor ceremony overlooking a small lake.
the weather was perfect, the bride was beautiful, and andi and neil looked very happy.
It's just too sad that the parent's didn't get to see their son marry such a lovely girl. The JW are just pitiful.
Congrats to the happy couple.

the wts claims on their web site that they do not shun "former members".
it would be interesting to know exactly how they define "former members".
does anybody else sense that the wts is playing with the lexicon, meaning, of words.
Perhaps it would be more accurate if their site stated: Jehovah's Witnesses cannot simply leave the faith. (if they do they will be tracked down and a kangaroo court convened and a bunch of irrelevent issues will be discussed and they will be disfellowshipped and then we'll shun them.)
The Witness Web site is a bald lie. Can I sue them for this lie as I've been shunned for 20 yrs for leaving the faith with no 'wicked' actions involved!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
