the following quote is taken from the september 15, 2002 edition of the watchtower, p.16-18:.
"in the first century, such individuals as hymanaeus, alexander, and philetus, were advocating ideas that did not fit "the pattern of healthful words.
" (1 timothy 1:18-20; 2 timothy 2:16,17) how could the early christians avoid being led astray by apostates?
And instead of questioning God's Word, how much wiser it is to have the attitude of the first-century Beroeans who examined the Scriptures closely! (Acts 17:10,11) Then, let us act on what we learn, turning down false stories and clinging to the truth.
Sickening.
Of course, in reading the above, questioning the Society = "questioning God's Word".
Such pathetic losers! I CANNOT WAIT until the march on the Tower, Sept 27!!! I'll be there, on my bike, with banners!!! (I'm open to ideas on those, by the way).

greetings - would some one please confirm that the aug 2002 km has the article entitled "display christian loyalty when a relative is disfellowshipped" i want to be accurate with my quotes in this letter.
speaking of which, i'm sending the below letter to my jw family - if you have time please let me know your thoughts -thanks - larry :).
to all my practicing jehovah witness family members:.

Paragraph 9 REALLY clashes with this gem:
Those who simply leave the faith are not shunned. If, however, someone unrepentantly practices serious sins, such as drunkenness, stealing, or adultery, he will be disfellowshipped and such an individual is avoided by former fellow-worshipers. Every effort is made to help wrongdoers. But if they are unrepentant, the congregation needs to be protected from their influence. The Bible clearly directs: "Remove the wicked man from among yourselves." (1 Corinthians 5:13) What of a man who is disfellowshipped but whose wife and children are still Jehovah's Witnesses? The spiritual ties he had with his family changes, but blood ties remain. The marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings can continue. As for disfellowshipped relatives not living in the same household, Jehovah's Witnesses apply the Bible's counsel: "Quit mixing with them." (1 Corinthians 5:11) Disfellowshipped individuals may continue to attend religious services and, if they wish, they may receive spiritual counsel from the elders with a view to their being restored. They are always welcome to return to the faith if they reject the improper course of conduct for which they were disfellowshipped.
there are some that are obvious and then others that just baffle me to no end..... yes i am talking about your user names.... do any of you have stories behind them or are they significant for some reason or are they just a word you made up?.
mine...well its easy.... i got the nickname of spicy back in nov of last year when i dyed my hair this crazy red color and the name of the color was "spiced ginger".

And now, more Cat news:
Cat Calls for All-Feline TV Show
NEW YORK (AP) - Esther Friesner fluffed the pink boa draped across her neck, adjusted her Cat Woman ears, thanked her cats for their support and summoned forth her best inner feline.
"Meow, meow, meow, meow," she sang, her voice pitched high in imitation of a commercial for cat food. "I want turkey, salmon and chicken, oceanfish flavors keep me lickin'."
Friesner, a science fiction writer from Connecticut, was one of dozens of adults and kids Wednesday trying out for a spot on "Meow TV," a new show being shopped around for the fall season for cats.
No, not for cat lovers. For cats.
Lacking opposable thumbs, felines will have to rely on their owners to tune in to the half-hour show.
According to Thompson, there are 85 million cats in 35 million American households, and 22 percent of pet owners watch TV shows they know their pets enjoy. He thinks he's got a consumer market.
Thompson hopes to put lots of children on the program, so he launched an eight-city auditioning tour - other stops include Atlanta and Dallas. He's also looking for the "Vanna White of cats" to host the new show.
"I like cats a lot, I have two at home," said Melanie Bayon, 14, of New York, who took a turn at the microphone. "I also want to be an actress."
Her father George is still a bit skeptical of the concept.
"They sit by the TV but I don't know if they watch it," he said of the family cats.
The tryout was a good place to find that extreme devotion some people have for their pets.
"I have to confess I often talk to my cat," said Catherine Goodman, after she belted out a spirited yet shrill meow. "They were my role models growing up."

Stowaway Cat Flies 63,000 Miles
LONDON (AP) - Ozzy the flying feline clocked up 63,000 miles in 10 days after escaping from his cage on a flight from the Gulf state of Qatar to London and stowing away in the jet's tail.
Jonathan Boyd and Katie Deacon, who adopted Ozzy while working in the Qatari capital, Doha, paid 220 pounds ($330) to fly him back to Britain on their return.
But when they arrived in London, they were told that he had gone missing from his cage somewhere between Doha and a stopover in Bahrain. British Airways staff searched everywhere, and even put up posters of the white and orange-flecked cat in Bahrain and Doha.
"We were pretty upset about it and I got angry - how the hell can a cat disappear? We were told there was nowhere he could go," said Boyd, 26.
"We were told he got out and got into the rear cargo hold and into the tail of the plane," Boyd said. "When they found him he was actually black with all the oil and grime on him. He was very skinny and very nervous as well. He is a very lucky cat."
Airport officials believe 1-year-old Ozzy survived by snacking on airport workers' sandwiches when they were unloading the plane.
"We are obviously concerned that Ozzy was able to escape from his cage but we are relieved and happy he has been reunited with his owners," said an airline spokeswoman. "He was certainly looked for thoroughly - our team out there did their very best, but if a cat wants to hide it will."

1000 were asked to leave brooklyn bethel (actually, this includes the farm and patterson) "voluntarily!
" only 6 replied to the request in the last 3 weeks.
it looks like the "waters" of bethel are drying up, or rather, their revenues are drying up!
GRITS sez:
Who was the guy on M*A*S*H who dressed up like a woman all the time? Mike Musto, your new pic reminded me of him. You two should exchange outfits and stuff! Too Funny!
That would be Corporal Max Klinger, from Cleveland, Ohio (or was it Toledo?). Klinger wanted out of the Korean conflict so badly, he cross-dressed in the hopes of being declared "unfit for duty" under Section 8 of the Army's military code. Great show!

fred franz, still alive and running the show.
how so?no he's not been ressurected and taken to heaven to direct gods affairs on earth.but it is his bible that forms the basis for what witnesses believe and teach.
many people point to franz as the sole author of the new world translation (with help from others) he decided how "gods inspired word" should read to people today.what is truth and what is false in the witness mind is all down to fred franz.
i've got a little project going and need a reasonable pic of ted jaracz, preferably full face.
some decent pics of some of the more outspoken apostates with websites, such as kent, randy are needed too...
