the actual post:.
I read your links because I wanted to see for myself how you have managed to drive away into deeper paranoia some very ill persons who have looked to you for help, thinking they could find the "truth" out there from YOU. How do I know? Because they have written me about it specifically.
You say you just put it out because it is there somewhere on the Internet. Well, who puts it out is who is responsible. If you want that responsibility, keep putting it out, it's a free country.
I hope those persons are safe and will not harm themselves. They are in dire need of therapy.

as some of you may know london bethel is very close .
to buying new land to house a new complex (45 acre site).
it is not often that ibsa has kept a secret this long before.. any info appreciated.
Mike, there is no more Bible House either, the name for the older structure replaced by "Bethel."
But once in awhile someone will say, e.g., 'Things are not so hot
at the Bible House these days.' And that could refer to Brooklyn or Patterson or wherever.
It's the corporation (Watch Tower of Pennsylvania or Watch Tower of Great Britain) that is guarding the secret.

sKally, have you ever heard of schizophrenia? Do you know how some schizophrenics behave off medication?
In that light, can you understand how someone could spout off stuff like that?

i've been churning this issue over in my mind of late.
do i want to be considered by the gb as "apostate" or "evil slave"?
i'm thinking that "apostate" is too mild for the contempt i have for the wts.
So you knew it is each person putting up the right index finger at a 45-degree angle, then making a cross and tapping three times, right?
Crux-ing, it's called.
But you knew that all along, didn't you, you sly dog.
Now. Can anyone come up with a better one than the way we do it now?

You mean you don't know the secret handshake?
You are not an apostate, sir. Much less an evil slave.

it never ceases to amaze me seeing how alan's various toadies here fawn over his posts and kiss his behind up to the brown spot.
evidence of this is in the responses to his post about ot & nt morality.. alan uses his own lack of context to twist scripture as well as any jw writer.
a case in point is his notion that adultery and fornication are primarily related to an economic loss (with a woman as property) and not a violation of a clear moral code.
Good night Ned, I know of only one person who understands this lingo. Is that you in that old shell, G?
What Rex and pals don't recognize is that the dispensational charts and mindset are not even warmed-over, third-rate arm-chair nineteenth-century ideas akin to Studies in the Scriptures. Scholars at fine Southern Baptist colleges wince at this shallow nonsense.
The point made above is well taken. How DO you explain how God changes his mind in each dispensational period? In your own words, please; no cut and paste or you will continue to lose all credulity.

in the "what's wrong w/jw's" thread, godrules is trying to defend the wts.
when godrules asked for "facts" that show jws are wrong, among the respondants was alanf.
alanf linked to his essay showing the dishonest way the creation book quotes evolutionists.
Have you checked the JEMIMAH post where you really showed your true colors for everyone to see?
I'm waiting for your reply over there, ready to hand your head back to you.

i have been asked to handle a 35 minute item at the .
kingdom ministry school for elders to be held at the end of the year.
interestingly it is called "new procedures for protecting the congregation from child abuse" it will be a manuscript talk based on the new elders textbook.. as soon as i receive the manuscript i will upload it on to jwd.
:: Why would an elder pick the username Jemimah?
::You're an asshole, mr. elder!
GodRules, for one who claims to be a practicing Christian who has found the truth and wishes to appeal to others, you show abysmal ignorance, for starters.
Names suggest something. Do you not realize Jemimah is a Bible name, not that of a face on a pancake mix or the like? If the meaning is "Dove," that could suggest Peace. Suggest anything to you?
If the more likely meaning of "Day by Day" is derived, it could suggest that the user is taking it one day at a time.
You have claimed a higher standard, now practice it. Shame on you for calling someone such a vile name for his choice of a username!
You claim to be a Christian? Show it. Apologize, and mean it or run hide where you cannot be exposed for what you are.
