1960's the watchtower pictures showed jesus clean shaven and with short hair {watch 1954 p.511 "why do watchtower books now show jesus with short hair and no beard?
....because he is shown that way in representations that are older than the traditional effeminate looking pictures..."}.
yearbook 2011 p.57 "a bearded man named eric showed up at a congregation in the united states {oh god a bearded man!!!
within the first week of studying he had shaved off his beard..."
LOL wtf!

on monday a car ran down three pedestrians in central st. petersburg, including a woman with a baby in a stroller.. .
wow, wonder what the gb thinks of them apples.
i mentioned a few times,that in terms of making my time for the past few months have been really difficult.simply because i cant teach something i don't fully believe...so my service has gone down,i used to comment a lot--haven't done that in a while----meeting attendance like normal but now i don't stay back after...or come early...or help with cleaning..... .
so some weeks ago the cobo asked me a completely irrelevant and in no way helpful question---"you did't think that i notice how upset you look these days----that's not a fruitage of god's spirit!".
yeah so today he saw me and asked me a series of question....all which i gave really short answers to...long story short--he says that he would like for me to meet wih the rest of the elders after memorial........ .
Whatever you decide, DO NOT STOP GOING TO COLLEGE.

the last time i cried was about 5 weeks when i attempted suidice.. .
what was the last event that made you shed a tear?
.
Last time I cried was about a year ago on the way home from work. I was bored so I tried to see if I could make myself cry just by thinking about it.
It worked but then I realized it was a pretty dumb idea to cry and drive at the same time so I stopped.
I haven't been able to make myself cry again since then.
LOL! Lore! I haven't laughed this hard in ages after reading this!!!!! You sound like me lol i remember when i was a kid i did the same thing but i was on a swing in a park and i remember people staring at me as i was crying and swinging lol !!!!!

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Very nicely put Blondie, short and powerful.
I think a lot of the human race has probably toyed with the notion of suicide at some point, maybe some not as serious as others.
/ontopic, i honestly dont remember the last time i cried, i think it was a few months ago i must have been going through some weird drug phase at the time.
Im still on the drugs.
exciting times.... son moved out of his jw home this week amid uproar from mother because he has follwed my advice about moving out and starting a new job.
visited him tonight in his new digs and he said: "don't know if i am going to stay in the truth"...!.
my advice was if that is what he wants to do then perhaps now is the time to not go to the new local hall and do a fade.... daughter read animal farm for school and commented: "i can see a few similarities to the jws in that story".... my response was well, wait till you read 1984 darling!
So awesome to read things like this, i have read far too many stroies of broken familes and heartache! Well done ozzzzzzyy wishing you all the best mate.

love bombing.. source : http://www.rationalrevelation.com/tr/lovebomb.html.
the term "love bombing" originated with the moonies to describe a step in their process of conversion.
new members are sought out, friendshipped, and invited to group events.
That was amazingly put together. I experinced a very strong love atom when i first stpped in a kingdom hall 2 years ago, and if it was not for that i wouldn't have lasted as long as i did.
a really good exercise to unblock you in creative writing is to try organic writing.. what is it?.
no planning in advance.
no notes.
The darkness creeps over the surface and it was a misty red.
It hauls itself over me and kept smiling that damned smile.
Whispers of hell force me to bang my head against the wall vigourously.
Fear dread and panic waves over him,millions beheading.
Liquid red drains down the alleyway, with rotting corpses.
Electric explosions of brainwaves and he has reached enlightenment.
I gaze over at the horizon and realize i am the misty red.
I see all of the sheep ready for the taking.
My muscles make me a thousand promises of pain.
there has to be a lot of fading or questioning jw out there that want to read this book but are afraid of getting the hard copy because of fears of getting caught, mailing issues, etc.
i think if this were available as an ebook, so many more ppl would be able to read it.
it would make it so much easier for those who want to take a look at this discreetly and take the leap.
CoC are easily available as pdfs
