I have one dislike on the Original Post.
Tight Pants Tony must be lurking. :P
dear anthony morris, iii:.
i wanted to send you a note of "thanks" on this special day.. why is this day special, you may ask?
one year ago today, you, tony, woke me up to the fact that the governing body could not have jehovah's blessing or direction.. last year, on november 8th & 9th, 2014, the united states branch visit was broadcast to over 1,000,000 jehovah's witnesses across the country.. as i sat at the kingdom hall listening to the "historic occasion," i was ignoring certain doubts that had surfaced in the few months prior.

Let's take a walk down memory lane, shall we?

Dear Anthony Morris, III:
I wanted to send you a note of "thanks" on this special day.
Why is this day special, you may ask? One year ago today, you, Tony, woke me up to the fact that the Governing Body could not have Jehovah's blessing or direction.
Last year, on November 8th & 9th, 2014, the United States Branch visit was broadcast to over 1,000,000 Jehovah's Witnesses across the country.
As I sat at the Kingdom Hall listening to the "historic occasion," I was ignoring certain doubts that had surfaced in the few months prior. I had decided to wait on Jehovah to address those issues I had. I had every intention of remaining one of Jehovah's Witnesses and continuing in my service in the organization.
Then you took the stage in all your glory. By the time your talk was over, all the doubts I had been ignoring resurfaced and within 24 hours of thinking about the audacity of your talk, I had accepted that you and the governing body did not have Jehovah's spirit or blessing. Like ancient Israel of old, I felt you had forsaken the spirit of the law and were no longer in Jehovah's favor.
Implying a homosexual conspiracy to put men in tight pants, amongst other things, was ludicrous, to say the least. The attitude you displayed towards the flock was one of disdain and haughtiness.
I am glad to inform you, Mr. Morris (for I refuse to call you brother), that because of your talk, I am now free of the influence of your organization, my wife is now free as well, and so are my children.
Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Sean aka Cappytan

using a roku may damage the color on tv sets.
it appears to change the color phase to magenta.. has anyone else noticed this problem on their tvs while using a roku?
apparently, the problem cannot be repaired.. http://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=90113.
so many serious topics lately ... so for anyone who wants a break, it's trivia time and the subject is pop music.. which act is the only one to have a top 100 hit both before, during and after the beatles had theirs?.
no googling.
if you guess, you also need to add a trivia question for others to answer..
and petrified... i just recently became a pioneer and always had nagging questions in the back of my mind.
so, i decided that when i have get a study i would research all the questions as i go along so as to prove everything in the truth... i got 4 studies in about 2 months.
all was fine, until i reached i think chapter 6 in the bible teach book about the resurrection.
The sanctity of life in which was giving.
What's more important? The symbol of life? Or the life itself?
Any blood transfusion you take today isn't taken from a dead person. Every mention of pouring the blood on the ground in the scriptures was talking about something that had died.
EdenOne: sorry to see you go.
Some of your posts were part of the many other posts that inspired me to finally join the forum.
I wish there was a block function on this forum. I personally wouldn't block Viviane as I have no beef with her, but I can see it being a useful function for situations like yours.
Namaste, EdenOne.
a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.
world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.
so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?
9/11 had Saudi fingerprints all over it
Right. Obviously it took more than a handful of people to plan the attack. However, it only took a few to execute the plan. That's what I'm getting at.
ISIS could easily have a few operatives slip in among the masses of immigrants.
Does that mean that aid should not be rendered? Hell, no.
Does that mean that it would be prudent to carefully screen those seeking aid? Yes, I believe that would be the course of wisdom. (EDIT: damn watchtower vocabulary coming up on me.)
Like I said, a free-for-all of immigration isn't a good idea.

These people are not the extremist Islamists, they are running from the extremist Islamists.
No one does that journey or risks their lives at sea because they are lazy or slobs.
I agree with that. These people want to better their lives. They deserve aid while their homes are literally burning.
Obviously, though, there could be a bad apple or two in the masses.
I think what scares people is that it only took a handful of bad apples to pull off 9/11. What's to prevent another handful of bad apples slipping in amidst all the chaos of this mass migration?
It's a complicated issue. It shouldn't be a free-for-all. But we also shouldn't let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch. People aren't apples.
a tragic story of how the watchtower unduly influenced or brain washed a 14 year old jehovah's witness into martyrdom.
the real irony here is the synthetic blood that failed was a hemoglobin solution, and red blood cells are nothing but tiny doughnut shaped bags of hemoglobin.
any thinking person will conclude that if red cells are blood, then so is hemoglobin.
It would have to be titled something different than "apostate."
