Creepiest poster of all time?
by The_Bad_Seed inwhile having most enjoyed my 4 month tenure here at jwc, i have come across quite a few posters that leave me with this vomitous lynchian feeling in my stomach after having read their messages and responses or retorts to the community - not because they speak of sickening things, but because they are really, really goddamn creepy.
in my opinion, the creepiest poster i have come across is comforter.
he may not be the worlds greatest writer, or even all that scary, but he creeps me out nonetheless.. cast your votes for creepiest poster of all time.

CAN YOU BE DISFELLOWSHIPPED AND STILL BE EFFECTIVE
by minimus inin view of the fact that bill bowen and others who have supported the silentlambs agenda have been disfellowshipped, do you think this means the end of their effectiveness?
comments on the board suggest that now, jw's won't come forward to bill because witnesses won't want to talk to a disfellowshipped person.
and some have said that this was the reason why they were fighting their disfellowshipping.

I guess from the story above it appears management is in trouble, they see the problems but no one in home office wants to hear it. The rank and file are quietly revolting and it is a matter of time before the "sell books or die" anthem will just not cut it enough to keep people in
True...You may have no idea. The seeds have been planted and simply stating "do not listen to the lying apostates",
no longer works. I have encouraged others to express their opinions.....and people are not happy with the org.

Scripture to Back Beliefs
by Gritsgirl inwe have close friends who secretly became jw's.
now that they are "out" they say that war is wrong and our son shouldn't join the military.
we know that war is not what god wants, however, we need scripture to back defending our country and protecting our loved ones.

Neo,
As I stated, based on the principles I quoted, I believe that Cornelius could not involve himself
in a the military. There is no further mention of him, that I am aware of. I would not think that
he would maintian his military position while Jews and Christians were slaughtered a few years later
in Jerusalem..Again this is my opinion.
Are you drunk or delerious today, Mike? Are you feeling ill?
If not, I eagerly await the scriptural basis for these assertions. I want to see the scriptures that say that Thanksgiving and Mother's Day are unacceptable for Christians, but that wedding anniversaries are OK.
PLEASE, show me those scriptures!!!
If this is your level of comprehension..you really need to work on it...re read my post.
I stated that these holidays were unscriptural...they are ...the are not in the Bible.
I also stated that anniversaries were unscriptural.....
I never stated that these were unacceptable to Christians.
I suggest,before you read a post by an active JW you take a deep breath before jumping to a conclusion as to
what opinion the post will contain.

Hello Gritsgirl,
I am an active JW.
On the principle of Jesus being love..and his words of perishing by the
sword.. I would believe that War is wrong. ..There is also no indication that
Cornelius stayed an officer of the military.
The holidays and celebrations your friends no longer celebrate are unscriptural.
But so are many other things the JW's do..wedding rings..anniversaries.
There is no scriptural basis for NOT celebrating these things

Any Brooklyn Bethelites from '93 - '98?
by back2dafront ini guess i should introduce myself for i am a new poster-boy :-) my name is jason howard and i currently reside in santa cruz, california.
i spent the first 24 years of my life as a jw, starting in danbury, ct, then to fayetteville & charlotte, nc, and finally brooklyn, bethel, where finally all of my negative inner thoughts and feelings were confirmed.
(from the ages of 14-24 i always felt something just didn't add up with the organization, but i could never quite put a finger on it) i spent my career at bethel in the brooklyn warehouse/purchasing departments and worked with some really great individuals.

I remember the first time I walked into that Joint...I was like "damn..brooklyn is a disgusting
place..i hate it hear.." than I left and discovered i was close to Chelsea
I also remember bethelites who walked around, thinking they were hot stuff when they
would go to work with a starbucks in their hands

MikeMusto, where are you?
by writerpen ini started a thread last thursday or friday (i always sign off from everything on the weekends, so i'm just now revisiting all the comments).
i asked if anyone knows ed vosh and you stated that you do.. i grew up with ed in the small town of luray, virginia.
he was always the "spiritual" kid that all the other kids wanted to be like.

MikeMusto
I hopes this is the correct E Vosh..the ed I know is now in the Service dept I am not sure what dept his wife works in ..prob housekeeper....and his dad is a traveling overseer.
I know he had a brother..dont know to much about them though. Ed was very balanced, for being at bethel
so long he wasnt like so many other Bethel Nazis.

Any advice on DA process?
by Cicatrix in.
hello all,.
i'm a newbie that's been lurking here for a couple of weeks, trying to get up the nerve to post.i've made the decision to da myself after months of thought and research.i'm not familiar with the procedure,though.is there anything that any of you feel is particularly important for me to know?do i have to go before a jc to da?if i refuse to,will they just df me?i prefer to make it clear that i am the one who is voluntarily leaving, but having been a victim of the kangaroo court proceedings on other occasions, i just can't bring myself to put myself in the elder's "loving" hands again (a story for another day).i'm fortunate that none of my family members are baptised or even active witnesses at this point.. any input would be much appreciated.. cicatrix
