The single guy probably thinks he can pretend the disfellowshipped guy is dead.
The single guy may find himself having his ass kicked by a "ghost."
Hopefully there won't be two or more witnesses to this supernatural event.

Hospice and JW
by Terry Clees ini am a bereavement coordinator with a hospice company.
i have noticed that most often jw patients decline chaplain care and also the family ends up declining bereavement care.
where i work our chaplains do not proselytize at all...they merely walk with the patient in their faith at the end of life.

Q.: What can we do to serve our JW patients better?
A.: You are in a difficult position. Were you aware that The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society (WTB&TS) is opposed to interfaith or ecumenical events? The reason for this is simple: Jehovah's Witnesses believe that they have THE TRUTH and that all the churches of Christendom are snares and rackets operated by Satan. The only way you could overcome this would be to have a JW minister on your staff, and the catch-22 is that no real JW minister would agree to participate in such an effort.

Last installment of the Scientology series tonight on A & E
by nonjwspouse in10 pm est on arts and entertainment channel.
where leah began with the idea of just a few shows, i think she is now taking this on for "as long as it takes".
she is in that mode of being outraged that what she believed in so long is such a lie she wants to shout it from the rooftops, and get people to notice.

I just watched "Ask Me Anything, part 2" (our friend Steve Hassan was GREAT!)
...and now I see two more episodes on the schedule; an un-numbered one titled "What Went Down: Victim Blaming" and an episode #8 is scheduled, titled "Leah Remini - APOSTATE".
She is doing "The Lords Work" - freeing us of the domination of men who would be Kings and Priests over man.
"I should like this, and I mean it most sincerely, I should like to see the last King strangled with the guts of the last Priest" -- attributed to Voltaire, Diderot, and possibly others.

Randy, I owe you an apology, because I made a mistake. My mistake was that my recollection was fuzzy. Although I _AM_ the publisher of the "replica reprints" to which I made reference above, I am also the publisher of THIS book... does it ring a bell?
I had confused the titles involved in my earlier description of the way you "assisted" me with the distribution of the 2nd edition of Tony Wills' book, "A People for His Name." As I outlined above, you were willing to offer "A People for His Name" for sale on your FREEMINDS site only if the books were provided to you at no charge, so that you would be the sole beneficiary from those sales.
Ring a bell?
Go ahead, deny the facts; call me a liar.
Have you ever heard of the "Wayback Machine"? Yes, it is named after the amazing device featured in the "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" segments of "The Rocky & Bullwinkle" cartoon show, but the one I'm talking about is REAL -- it's no Bullwinkle.
Mr. Peabody, Sherman, and the WayBack Machine!
Its formal name is The Internet Archive - https://archive.org/ - and it preserves, as of right now, 279 BILLION snapshots of web pages!
AMAZING!
Here's one I am especially fond of right now: a snapshot of the FREEMINDS STORE from May 8, 2012! LOOK! You're offering copies of "A People for His Name" for sale!
How's that Memory Muscle working now, Randy?

I have identified myself, Randy. I am the person who is behind
http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/oldlightreprints
and who donated some of my replica reprint titles to FREEMINDS at no cost to you because you were unwilling to assist me unless it cost you nothing to do so.
Maybe you took all the books I sent you and put them in the garbage.
Maybe someone here can recall buying some of those replica reprints from you.
Maybe your memory is failing you.

I want to clarify something I said: "No one "assisted" me in any way. I had no 'minions' doing my bidding..."
Actually, there were many who assisted me, but I didn't treat them like "minions" and compensated them for their assistance, without which I would have been less successful.
I treasure those friends I have worked with.

I have DirecTV in the USA, and it shows that on January 17 at 7 PM (Pacific Time) A&E will air "Ask Me Anything, part 2" with Leah Remini and Mike Rinder.
So there might be one more episode, and I think I heard that A&E has agreed to air a second season of "Scientology and the Aftermath."

Is this a normal JW practice? Warning, this will be a bit graphic.
by Sequoia inthis post may be disturbing and i apologize, but i'm just trying to find out if this is a practice the jw teaches.
i was taken advantage of by a guy claiming to be a jw preacher.
he took me to his house supposedly so i could give his daughter piano lessons, and then he basically forced himself on me while telling me he was in love with me and wanted to marry me.

"Pastor" Charles Taze Russell wore a beard. A great crowd of CTR's Brooklyn Fanboys emulated him. When Russel died, many Bible Students took issue with the way "Judge" Joseph Franklin Rutherford changed The Watchtower organization. The Sadlack brothers in Germany published a book titled "The Desolation of the Sanctuary" that addressed the concerns felt by many Bible Students. Rutherford was crafty enough to see how beards could be used to undermine his Theocratic Authority, so he outlawed them. Possibly the last Bethelite to sport a beard was William E. van Amburgh, who became an officer of the WTB&TS in 1901 and served the WTB&TS unntil his death in 1947. (Yes, he outlived Rutherford by five years).

As time passed, where once I had only the desire to do my part in bringing down The Watchtower, I began to see that I might be able to play a part by making THE MOST DANGEROUS INFORMATION IN THE WORLD available to seekers of truth wherever they might be in the English-speaking world.
I decided to re-publish old (public domain) Watchtower publications.
The most important of these, I felt, was "MILLIONS NOW LIVING WILL NEVER DIE."
I bought an authentic antique copy of that damned booklet and set to producing my replica reprint version. I made a few "editorial decisions:" my replica reprint would be LARGER than the original. This served two purposes: 1) it made it palpably evident that this was NOT the original Watchtower edition and 2) it was FAR easier to read with the ENLARGED PAGES, each a high-resolution digital photograph of the original page.
These pages were further digitally enhanced to remove the ink splashes and occasional malformed type in the original booklet.
Some were CRITICAL of these changes. I ignored my critics, feeling that when they began their own publishing effort they could feel as free to do what they wanted to do as I felt I was.
No one "assisted" me in any way. I had no 'minions' doing my bidding and all the outlays for equipment and materials came from my pocket. For a brief while I had fun with the creation of the UADNA organization - the "Unseen Apostate Directorate of North America" based on an orbiting space platform. That was done to stoke the paranoia that the Brooklyn Org was beginning to feel.
But it was all just me -- I bought the antique originals at the asking price from those selling the antiques. I paid Randy Watters $300 for one copy of "THE WAY TO PARADISE" by W. E. van AMBURGH. I asked for no discount and Randy offered none.
The hard-copy replica reprint of "MILLIONS NOW LIVING WILL NEVER DIE" is priced at $9.99. LULU gets the lion's share of the price for production costs and overhead; I get between sixty-three cents and ninety-nine cents royalty for each copy sold, depending on who sells it.

I thought it might be nice if some of my replica reprints were available on Randy's FREEMINDS website, so I asked him if he would be interested. Here are the terms we agreed to: I would pay IN FULL for each of the hard-copy replica reprints and would pay IN FULL to ship those replica reprints to Randy so that his investment for the entire lot of books was $0.00. If you bought one of my replica reprints from FREEMINDS, know that 100% of what you paid Randy was pure profit for him. After all, he's one of the good guys, and as a "pastor" he is accustomed to the parasite lifestyle.
He's working for YOU, you know.
