for those that still have doubts about the true nature of the wts organisation, its leaders and r&f and who think that this organisation has a supreme status through being hand picked by god as his sole organisation on earth: .

far from the gb being a group of god appointed saintly elite over an angelic jw society they are group of despicable ever scheming devious men directing a vast and nasty network of jw communities of venomous sneaky vermin which with their poisonous fangs will suck the life out of anyone that gets caught in their cultic spider web of deception and just as with some poisonous spiders you may not realise that you got bitten until well after the fact.

jw sainthood, what a joke, it is as real as easter bunny.

Was fresia referring to this song recorded by Linda Ronstadt, I believe:

I grew up in ragged gingham where love is a sacred thing
You grew up in silk and satins where love's just a passing game (note 1)
I know you've never loved me, oh I know I's just a fool
To think your pride would let you live love by the golden rule

Chorus
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
You can't buy my love with money, 'cause I ain't never been that kind
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

I don't want your lonely mansions, with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised once beneath the haloed moon
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
Sit alone and bide my sorrows while you play love's cheating game

Thinking about Halloween yet?

by Sassy in

jw
friends

have you ever dressed up??

care to share pics (if you can) of your costumes of the past?

or what you would like to wear this year?.

Mum

Oh, yes. Last year at work, our office had a Bates Motel Theme. One of my co-workers even brought in a small TV set and the video of Psycho.

I am now retired, but my former co-workers invited me to participate in their Hallowe'en festivities this year, too. They are going to be escaped prisoners, specific ones from history. Who would be a famous female escapee that I could dress up as?

How Reported Field Service Isn't Real

when i was an elder, i commonly got in my ( required) minimum of ten hours a month.

typically, i put.

in a lot of time door to door.

Mum

There was a pioneer sister in one of the congregations I was in who would work rural territory. She would stop at a return visit close by first, as she said, "to get [her] time started."

Did anyone deduct from their report time out for coffee and donuts?

Japan closes 638 Congregations!!!!! Why???

by Witness 007 in

japan since the 1970''s has had amazing publisher increases!

every year the number of witnesses shot up by many thousands.

this peaked in 1998, since then the number of witnesses and congregations has continued to drop!.

Mum

The Japanese are a very intelligent people with a high tech society. They value politeness, but maybe they're not as compliant as in the past.

Just my $.02.

How Did The "Shepherds" Treat You?

by minimus in

jw
friends

did you look forward to shepherding calls?.

were you refreshed after talking to the elders?.

Mum

There were no shepherding calls. I got the h*** out of Dodge.

There were harassment calls and hate mail. I am grateful for these because they gave me incentive to move on toward the lightness of freedom.

How to fluster a JW at your door

by arker in

my dad put up with a lot of crap from the jw's when my mom divorced him and took us kids away.

so when he got the chance he would mess with them at the door.

my favorite question he asked 2 sisters when they came.. "if the bible says a wife is to give her husband his due, then do you have relations with your husband because you love him or because the bible says to?".

Mum

On a local TV call-in show I saw, a caller said to take a crucifix to the door.

My ex-JW friend's husband would say he was "possessed by the devil."

My daughter answered our door once, and when the JW lady began her presentation, said, "I've already been a Jehovah's witness." Strangely, the lady came back to see us about a week later. She was alone and seemed curious about why we left. Maybe we should have talked with her, but we were on our way out to do some shopping or something.

Ramblings and Questions of a tired Apostate

by horrible life in

god created adam and eve.

fill the earth, and become many.

live in paradise.

Mum

I like what Walt Whitman had to say:

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained,

I stand and look at them long and long.

They do not sweat and whine about their condition,

They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,

They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,

Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,

Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,

Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.

Regards,

SandraC
