  Mony, Great to see you When I worked as a cocktail waitress, I took care of many, many, many woman in this disheveled state! You forgot one though, Fighting with the man you came with ignoring him for 2 hours cussing him like a dog, then eventually going back home with him. I saw that more than anything...lol

  Your ideas about a disaster at WTS headquarters

  by Mindchild in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for the last few days i've been involved in putting a post together for this board that has been growing and growing because one idea led to another, etc.

  (i really got to stop drinking so much caffeine) anyway i'm at a point where i would appreciate some feedback.. the sept 11 terrorist attack got me thinking about what would happen if there was a major physical disaster at either ny headquarters or bethel.

  i'm talking about say a horrific accident or terrorist act that leaves many witnesses dead and injured.

  Great I will be trapped on an island with a wacko! LOL just kidding. I have noticed with you that most of the time you put out a feeler post, then come back with the whammy, so this type of question does not frighten me at all (well maybe a little)

  Let's just say...that the headquarters was destroyed, what then? I think that is a good question to put out. How much of this religion is based on the big boys there? Will the other branch offices be able to come together and hold this religion? How many who left will be frightened into returning. How many in will be frightened to leave?

  I don't think the intent of this post was to say what ways can we destroy Brooklyn, but what if Brooklyn was destroyed? I may be wrong about that, but that is what it sounded like to me from the initial post. I think it is a valid question, and would love to hear any comments.

  Anybody want XJWNews.com?

  by mikepence in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the recent un scandal and the departure of some dear friends and loved ones from the borg inspired me to get xjwnews.com off the ground.

  i always dreamed of a site like that, but i don't think that i have the will to keep running it.. in our first month, we had nearly 20,000 hits.

  kent, simon, randy and several other xjw's with single name status helped along the way.

  Mike,
  I understand what you are saying, I can't imagine having the responsibility of a site. I think you have done a great job on it though, and I am sure you will find someone. Just ride it out until you do, please don't shut it down completely.

  Nowatess,
  Are you serious? Judging and condemnation is not a christian trait is it? Oh yes it is, that is why I am no longer a christian, and the reason I will never become a christian again is because of people like you. You speak out both sides of your mouth Tess, and it is obvious to all.

  SO jesus blessed you huh? And what about all of those he does not bless? Reminds me of the twin towers and the christians who praised jah for getting them out, leaving behind thousands of other christians to die of suffocation, or burned alive by fire.

  I have often visited exjw's sites, I am not sure if I have seen yours. I will tell you though I would not jump from one high control group into another, so your site would not interest me. As a matter of fact of stay away from anyone who feels they have the "truth."

  As far as maryjane goes, I knew a preacher in Florida who would "roll it up" for everyone to partake after the services. His church was very succesful, and some of the most openminded, non judgemental christians I had met worshipped there. They weren't hiding from any pain, just having a good time together, enjoying as it says in Genesis, every herb of the ground.

  I've lost my faith, and I'm not sure that's bad.

  by kevin221 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've tried in the last few months to rely on my faith in god to carry me through the bad hand that life has dealt me, and for the most part i have managed to carry on with my sanity in order.

  i do however have one question that i can't answer and therefore wish to ask you all if you have any clue as to the answer.. the love of my life died and the only consistant reason i get from my reading of the sciprture and my conversations with "religious" persons is that god had a higher purpose for calling my love to heaven.

  this only begs of me to ask the question, if the lifestyle my love was leading was so adverse to god's commandments, then why would he want to call him to a higher purpose?

  My 7 year old daughter has a prognosis of just a few more years. Her lifestyle is carefree, and fun loving, yes she sins, but don't all kids To say that death is a punishment for the way you lived your life is incomprehensible to me. Because of the very fact that so many young children do nothing at all but live in pain, yet they still die.

  I find it hard to comprehend an afterlife, I am not sure yet if I even believe in one. This is life then we die To say that this is only a path until we reach everlasting life, well we need to change the definitions around a bit, don't ya think?

  I am in the mindset that you must live everyday as if it is your last. You must say everything you want to say, and do everything you want to do. Have no regrets! If you can lay there on your deathbed and say I did everything I wanted to do, and touched as many souls as I could...then you have accomplished life.

  I was a christian for many, many years, I prayed to a god in heaven and it eased my mind. When I realized that I was praying to ease my mind, I looked at it differently. I wondered who I was praying to, and why was he not answering me. If I gave my all to him, why does he still take from me? Have I not learned my lesson? Why does he demand so much? Is our happiness not enough? Our living our lives in harmony with our conscience should be enough for a father don't you think? I would be thrilled if my children told me on their deathbed, that they were content and happy with everything they did. No guilt, no shame, no remorse.

  ((((hugs)))) and may your heart have peace
  love,

  NOTIFY YOUR HOSPITAL & DOCTORS ABOUT JW SPYS

  by MadApostate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am sending this letter via email to both my local hospital and to several doctors (different version) who have occasion to treat my immediate family.. i thought that i would post such on the db so that others here could also do the same.

  however, i would ask that you do not completely duplicate the letter, in the event that the same hospital or same doctor receive this more than once, and discard it as a hoax.

  please take the time to change some of the wording, and personalize it to your own circumstances.. i will post any received replies, and i ask that others please do the same.. *****************************************.

  Blue,
  I am in no way doubting your story. The reason I responded to it, was a two fold reasoning, first to explain every hospital I have been in and their process, and also to state I did not know what the HLC practice was. I did not respond the other day because I knew I was going in to my hospital today for the admittance paperwork for this pregnancy. I asked them, the same thing you stated and they confirmed what I said.

  No HLC is called unless the patient is alone without family and on their death bed. Unless the patient is alert and oriented and requests for them to be present.

  But, that really is not the topic of this thread, is it? Madapostate has thrown out a bone that needs chewed on. He states that outside sources have stopped his thread. I do not agree. I have seen Madap ruthless in his attacks of posters who have no proof to back up their claims, yet he is guilty of that right here, right now.

  So everything else aside...Madapostate do you have proof that an outside source stopped this thread? Or is that just hot air to bolster your ego?

  God ordered abortions?

  by Julie in

  2. friends

  i have a question.

  i have asked it in a private discussion with a fundamentalist who cowardly ignored the whole premise of the thought and am hoping there is someone here who can address it.. i am aware of the fact that abortion is one hot button topic.

  it is not my intention to make this a debate about abortion.

  Andi,
  I am with you here. I could not imagine having an abortion myself. I know that it would weigh heavily on my heart for the rest of my life. I also don't think it is fair to push our opinions on others. If I had to put myself in a box, I would say I am pro choice. Because I feel that it is a personal decision that only the woman carrying the child has to deal with.

  When you start pushing your opinions on others, and condeming them for choices they make, that takes the "love" right out of the equation.

  I agree Seeker, I never thought of this either. Of course the very reason god ordered the death of so many is completly asinine to think of as well. But christians have no problem with him doing that. I suspect the answer you will recieve will be along the lines of...if someone lived X million more than you...etc Of course I would love to see someone's defense of the mass abortions.

  BTW The abortion protesters just won a battle here. They are very excited that they can now go within 50 feet(I believe) of the entrance to the clinic. They are within earshot of those inside. I wish I had the stamina to go and protest the protesters. It makes me ill to think that they can blatanly push their views on those who have already made a choice. I have mentioned this before, but could you imagine if we went and picketed the poll booths with signs saying, woman are not worthy of voting?

  I think the saddest thing is that that they are not showing love, but in their mind they think they are.
