Excellent Funch!
Odrade, that is so typical. In my experience, there was more stuff to be worried about within the congregations than without.
LMAO at Elsewhere's pic!

this is long but i hope it is well worth the read.
for those of you who are still active as jws (be it due to your own will or because you are trapped), please consider the october 15, 2003 wt entitled, 'how can i make wise decisions?
consider these points that come straight from the 'faithful & discrete' mouth:

i am so in the dark.
i do not know what's going on and, quite frankly, i don't care to.
perhaps there is bliss in ignorance.
I occasionally follow them (after I see a thread growing by leaps and bounds in a short period of time!)

for some of us on this forum, we're so far away from one another.
out of curiosity, do any of you have any photos of where you are from, or the communities that you live in?
here's one of toronto.

Enjoyed everyones pics!

i wonder if this is going on in other european or eastern-block countries where jws are not liked too well.
this document states that a jw was imprisoned for trying to bribe officials into accepting his congregation into the religious community.
the quote is number 48 in the long list after the introduction at:.
It is not uncommon for people in general (in those eastern-block nations) to offer "bribes" to the officals and local police-that was my observation while in Moldova. More often than not the "official" requests the bribe in order to expedite things and the general population has a choice to go along with it or face the "consequences."
I would agree with Gamaliel -it was probably arranged and went wrong.

...sounds wierd to me, has anyone here truely been affected by it or accused of it mistakenly?
i imagine either is quite disturbing.. dang, i only play around on here and other sites, i enjoy the people who play back and we give as good as we get.
but my intention is to never stalk anyone, so if anyone ever thinks i'm stalking some pretty lady, let me know and i'll back of before you can even say the words "acute paronia".. i'm a very happy married man, wouldnt trade my wife for the world.
I have literally had to stop and catch my breath from laughing at this thread, bwahahahahahahahahahah
Me too Brummie. I know it started out as a serious topic (or did it?) on your part-but I was LMAO!
first of all let's look at the name hollywood has given the couple; bennifer.
(for those of you haven't been beaten over the head with their relationship, i am refering to jennifer lopez and ben afleck).
doesn't it sound like some sort of lab experiment gone wrong?
Doesn't it sound like some sort of lab experiment gone wrong? I can't help but get an image of a lurching hairy creature with a bubble but, poodle hair, and REALLY horrible acting skills chasing the public screaming, "Look at me, Look at me!!"
LMAO!!

good news/bad news.
first, the good news: the good news, at least as far as the watchtower's multitudinous enemies are concerned, is that the watchtower's days are definitely numbered.
the bad news, as far as apostates should be concerned, is that the days for this present system, as we know it, are also of equally short duration.
I'd rather have my teeth drilled.
Yeah, at least with that you get something to numb the pain!
