If a person REALLY wants to learn public speaking, TOASTMASTERS is far better training, and it is RECOGNIZED!

I want to see them swing this dead cat by the tail... if 1914 goes, then WHEN did JayCee "select" them from out of Christendom?
WHEN did they "receive authority over all his belongings"?
This is going to take some fast double-talking and pretzel logic, even if the majority of the marching morons don't know what's going on.
i would love to file an emotional distress lawsuit of some sort against the wt.
since my husbands return envolvement 2 years ago my documented mental health problems have gotten steadly worse.

You need a better fantasy.
Destroying yourself in an effort to "stick it to the man" will end with you stuck in the ground.
Get a grip and straighten out.

Mrsjones5, have you read any of the novels by the Canadian collective who use the name Michael Slade?
"His" first work was "Headhunter" (May 1985). I think he's got about 17 titles under his belt now. Very good writing. I think you might enjoy it.

Yeah, nothing less than 1080i.
so i signed up to volunteer at a local urban community center- first time i've ever volunteered for a non-jw effort.
i thought i would end up cleaning, organizing, something like that, but the first thing they wanted us to do was go door to door in the neighborhood handing out flyers!
face palm...
Yeah, clearly the Lord has a plan for you; it's just not one you're going to be thrilled with. SUBMIT!
if they are going to try to guess what jesus should look like why don't they or haven't they created artwork that they would use to consistently show him as the same guy.

TIME heals, in large doses.
so my family has obviously been noticing over the past several months that i've been missing meetings and fs.
i've had excuses sometimes, but not others, so my parents are definitely getting that this is more than a long bout of illnesses or fatigue.
i just received an email invitation to join them in service this weekend.
Tell them you will be there and then don't show up.
That will show them how much control over you they have.
If pressed for an excuse, just say "something came up, sorry" and let it go at that.
