  A Note of Sanity

  by Know_You in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'd like to inject a note of sanity into this wasp's nest of disgusting apostate vermin.

  between all the bickering and backbiting, you have, as the scriptures foretold, not noticed that the day is upon you.

  already it is the auspicious month of october.

  Self-selected anecdotal evidence, no independent studies - works for the Watchtower, it'll probably work for these guys too...

  Might as well jump in...

  i have seen (edited to add the word "posted" here, for clarification purposes) on this board that bill bowen is still a jw at heart, and i have seen posts and transcipts of his where he refers to the "christian" way of handling matters.

  i have it on good authority that bill is not concerned with the bible, and that he is as far from being a jw as could be (religiously speaking).

  bill has refused to answer my inquiries as well as others' when asked about his position on religious/jw matters that have a bearing on his silentlambs credibility based upon direct statements made by him.

  I'd sure like to see Bill respond to HS's comments that he (Bill) called HS a "dickhead" and asked for a "pledge". HS's post, and Bill's on line irregularities here (esp. that ridiculous letter), lead me to believe that the Silentlambs organization has grown into something that Bill is not able to handle. He needs some help - surely, aside from the particular religious issues, other child-abuse groups have something to offer. Incidentally, Silentlambs is something I couldn't handle either - I don't think Bill is less of a person for that.

  W/regard to Cygnus's comments re: Silentlambs purpose - I agree to a point; but, it does strike me as enormously significant that files of abusers are kept in a central location, and this information isn't made available when it can do good.

  So Bill, did you really call Hillary a "dickhead", as he says? Because if you did, then I am in complete agreement with all of Hillary's comments. And when you say, "I hope he comes around" what exactly do you mean? Did you ask for a "pledge"?

  Salvia Divinorum Anyone?

  by Valis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone else tried salvia?

  i recently tried this herb, which is a member of the sage family, via smoking it.

  i must say that it is a psychedellic not for the faint of heart or one who fears the loss of control for several minutes at a time.

  I've tried it, as one of the experiences I sought out after DA'ing myself. Just dried leaves, and it didn't do a thing. Either I'm a Salvia "hardhead" or I need to try the extract. It's on my list of things to do.

  I'm a little suspicious of Comforter's stupidity. Not to many genuine idiots use the "germane" at all, let alone correctly and spelled properly.

  it has been brought to my attention that there may be a major scandal working in the billings montana area.

  it involves more than ten elders in a motel room at the district convention this summer and 14-16 year old girls.

  my information source says there is more to come with possible charges being filed, but key jw's work for social services there and are involved in the investigation.

  Well then, apology withdrawn. Sorry for the misunderstanding about the misunderstanding. Now that I understand your point in that post, I can only say that I disagree with it and that I stick by my comments to date.

  i've been lurking about, checking out some of the evidence against the wtbs.

  i am currently inactive but still an approved/baptized member.

  i have seen all the 1914/607bce evidence; the blood transfusion quandry evidence; the current child abuse problem evidence and several other things that are damning to the wt doctrines.

  IMNSHO:

  re: conspiracies

  Russell was definitely a cold-blooded crook, as bad as Hubbard or Moon. Rutherford recognized a good thing and moved in after Russell's death to live the high life. After that... not so clear cut. Some believers, some con men. Like any religion or political party, but crueler.

  The above is certified fact-free speculation.

  Hang in there bro. You're not lazy, or weak, you're just waking up. It hurts at first, but keeps getting better and better. Read a lot, hang out here a little bit, and just enjoy your new freedoms. Maybe get a video or two that you would never have watched as JW. Do your own thing.
