SURVEY QUESTIONs

by Terry in

jw
friends

i'm on the brink of publishing my book.

here are some survey questions that will help me make some important decisions.. if you were ever going to actually buy a book about an ex-jehovah's witness conscientious objector who went to prison, would you:.

a. prefer the book to be 8 1/2 x 11 ?.

Nathan Natas

6x9 with a larger font, thus being easier to transport AND more easily readable.

Both hardcopy and e-book; each has an audience/following

Details should include the WT/Masonic alliance, the tunnels leading to a volcano beneath Brooklyn Heights, and the kabbalistic ritual that keeps Fred Franz' brown pants alive to this day. just kidding :)

LULU offers pricing guidelines - the big number is what they get, the little number is what you get. People think the author gets all the money - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !

need for my full and loving devotion.. oh, how i spend myself willingly on your behalf as,.

truly, your desires outstrip my own.. were i but a younger and wiry man, would i scale.

I wait patiently for my turn at the deli counter,
the ticket bearing "38" clenched in my fist.
In a flash I recall our first picnic: bright skies,
Anney Greensprings wine and your adoring, faithful smile,
Our dreams were so much larger the... - "Number 38!" the deli clerk calls
"I'll take all the ham".

Reading AngusOg's new book, "Quitting Jehovah's Witnesses & Other Cults: how to do it & why you should" I found Angus' description of the correct XJW mindset to be perfectly stated:

"I suggest you adopt the following mindset; you disfellowshipped them. Because they weren’t really your friends, were they? They’re deluded religious fanatics, and as soon as you stopped believing exactly what they believe about God, they abandoned you... Always keep in mind that when it comes to religious beliefs, you don’t owe the Watchtower Society or any Jehovah’s Witness anything. You were fooled, you’re correcting your mistake, and if there is anyone who isn’t happy about that you can feel free to shun them... For as long you’ve been a Witness you’ve been told that you’re sinful and need an organization to tell you how to live. That’s bullshit, but it’s up to you to prove it’s bullshit; so, learn to live your life and make your own moral decisions..."

ANY JW who is going door-to-door spreading Watchtower misology is fair game. We don't come to their homes and harass them, but when they are "out in service," they deserve to be given a spiritual "atomic wedgie" and exposed as the irrational religious fanatics they are. If they happen to experience a bit of cognitive dissonance as a result, maybe they will wake up.

To smile and let them go in peace is to turn a blind eye to the lies and evil memes they spread.

Security cameras inside & outside the Kingdom Hall ?

by gingerbread in

jw
friends

i recently heard from a family member who is still active about the new security system in her kh.. during the installation of the digital projector on the auditorium's ceiling, she said that the brothers who came to install it (i'm assuming some from the regional bldg group) also installed security cameras.. she specifically mentions a computer screen at the sound box that shows live feeds of - the parking lot, the carport/drop-off, interior view of the entrance, the lobby and magazine counter & the 'little room' ( the 'elders room' with conference table, computer and printers, filing cabinets, library, etc).. has anyone seen or heard of these being installed in a local hall ?.

comments?.

I'm sure a crossbow would NEVER be able to silently take out those cameras! They're protected by Jehovah's Magic Spirit!

JeffT boasted, " If I felt like expending the time and energy I could make that say JWN is a cult."

No you couldn't. I double-dog dare you.

No one should blame the WTB&TS for something that is so obviosly the fault of KNIFEMAKERS!

WHY do they have to make knives so sharp and pointy?

Why can't a knife be made safe, like a spoon?

People shuld be required to have 100,000 hours of training by a nabob before even being allowed to touch a knife!

JY Dog, you spoke TRUTH to zombies and the zombies locked up like they always do. You did good, and don't let the criticism of newbies who don't know you deter you at all. None of them have one-quarter the cogliones you have!

Do you or yours have heart disease?

by compound complex in

we are growing older and have developed illnesses we never imagined would touch us.

if you (or a family member or acquaintance) have been diagnosed with heart disease .

1) what was your reaction to the diagnosis?

Nathan Natas

Colonoscopies are the subject of jokes because it is scatological.

The procedure itself is nothing to worry about because your mind will be in the clouds due to the anti-anxiety meds you'll be given. In fact, the hospital WILL NOT RELEASE YOU unless you have someone who will accompany you home, by car , bus, or even walking!

Now, the AWFUL part of the colonoscopy is the week before, IF your doctor wants you to go on a liquid (water) diet and follow it with the vile "colon flush" that is often required.

I did this both of the two times I had the procedure, but I've heard some folks who were not asked to do ANY prep at all.

I am looking for scans from a book

by Doug Mason in

does somone have a library handy that holds the book: "the bible from the beginning" (new york 1929) by p. marion simms?

i have searched here in melbourne without success, and its exorbitant price tag means it won't be sitting on my bookshelf.

if you can find a copy, i need scans of pages 74 to 76. it would be even better if i could obtain scans of the immediate context.
