i dont know about the rest of you guys, but i feel it, i can feel that that "peace & safety" sign is gonna get on a worldwide scale very soon(5-8 years).. i also remeber the first time that leader from afgan said peace & safety, i started to cry and for some reason, i felt very weird but happy and joyful at the same time.., plus right now, i feel funny, and i believe i am about to cry right now, maybe the holy spirit is around me or something, but i'm feeling the same way i felt when i had that dream about armageddon.... .
draw close to jehovah and his son christ jesus, and y'all will understand what i'm saying> (red words/king james version/christ words> """"" surely i come quickly"""""""" .
i believe christ will come in our life time, and im going ignore those who try to overthrow my faith and watch'em fall...
Hmmmmmm.....
here we go again

well i had a visit today from an elder (related through marriage) about my non-meeting attendance.
he let me know that the circuit overseer is due in for a visit in 2 weeks and the elders in my congregation felt that it would be good for them to pay me a visit.
i have already declined other such offers.. he asked me why i was not attending the meetings (didn't reply to that) and that if i had a problem that i could talk about it.
May I make a suggestion that will actually help?
Next time "the elders" show up, tell them politely they came at an inconvenient time. Would they come another time and please phone first to make an appointment.
They will try and nail you down to a time NOW. Reply with "I'm sorry I can't give you a time right I have a lot on my plate right now, please phone next week.
Remind them that they wouldn't like you dropping in on them without prior announcement and that they owe you the same curtesy.
Tell them it would be best if they leave right know because a family member who is opposed to the society is about due to pop in for family related busines and it would be best if they weren't here when he came. He is the short tempered type.
When they ring a week later to make an appointment keep brushing them asside week by week. No explanation neccessary. Private family busines, you don't care to discuss it, thanks for calling, bye and hang up.
They'll soon give up.
Remember they are not the police. The only authority they have is what YOU give them. No more.
And you will know the truth and the REAL truth will set you free.

i found this description of "apostates" on a pro jw site to be interesting, to say the least.
it's amazing how these people sound like they're reading straight from the watchtower, or something.. .
http://ofnet.homestead.com/apostate.html.
Part of the Watchtower quote
"They start out angry at having been removed from the congregation for breaking some bible priniple. Their pride takes them on an emotional journey of monumental proportions".
What a crock of sh!t!! How dare they asume to read the heart of a person. How do they know why you left? They don't but they have to paint the departing one as a villain to keep the rest of the flock under control.
Maybe the person just realizes he's been lied to all these years and wants to put an end to the deception by leaving?
Sad thing is, many of the dummies believe what the witchtower tells them and they either haven't the brains to analyse what they are being taught or I suspect they just prefere to believe the lies so they don't have to think for themselves.
I't always easier to follow blindly than to take charge of your own life. Just observe a flock of sheep. One runs they all run. It is no accident the witchtower constantly reminds JDubs to be sheep like.
So they can be more easyly fleeced.
Boy am I glad I got outa there.

Unless of cause you are trying to show us what a clever Dick you are.
The answer BTW is. It's current driven, how else?
Even valves or tubes if you are a Yank work by current. The grid "Voltage" controls the Anode "Current"

i see no problem in immigration..... they fear immigration because it is to blame for economic problems...hello!!!
!....there have always been and always will be economic problems due to the uneven distribution of wealth in the human society.
Violet, Violet, Violet,
For just a little while I was inclined to agree with you after all how many millions is enough. I agree It seem ridiculous that someone who can hit a little ball with a stick can earn millions playing a game on a sunny afternoon and call it work while other sweat their asses of for $10 an hour.
There are those who don't want to work, why should I support those bludgers?
elderly and the sick, that's a differernt story. You have to reward those who work hard otherwise where is the incentive to work hard? Communism does NOT work. Look at the USSR.
You left me though when you refused to see how you watchtower god
is amassing BILLIONS of YOUR dollars and investing it in real estate and corporations that manufacture weapons.
Your little Watchtower filter dropped down. Your brain said "I don't want to have to deal with this so I'll just pretend I didn't hear it and then I don't have to deal with it.
This is called brain washing. You have been Brain washed. You can pick a JDub as soon as he/she starts to speak/post. Their thinking is always the same. It's Watchtower speak not the thoughts of you as an individual.
Open your mind before it's too late.
And you will know the truth and the REAL truth will set you free.

do the people who lead this religion and who write all the stuff really believe what they write and teach???
it would be remarkable if a bunch of such braindead people would be able to run such a organization (would me almost make to believe that god has indeed a hand in this :)
You asked
>do the people who lead this religion and who write all the stuff >really believe what they write and teach???
I often wondered about that myself. I suspect that those with half a brain sooner or later find out it's all a big con but by then they are in it so deeply that they don't want to give up the power and authority they have over others, so few get out when they see the light. By this I mean the elders at the congregation level.
What do those higher up get out of it? They can't suddenly all live in big mansions and drive Feraries or the dummies would get suspicious so I ask myself what do the BORG buddies get out of it?
Is travelling the world and living in 5* hotels enough? Geting served hand and foot day and night is that enough? Do they do it because of the power it gives them over the real slaves in the organisation? the R&F JDubs
All the authority is in the hands of men. Women have no value in Jehovahs organisation. Men need to satify their egos by excercising authority over others.
I'm glad I got out and got my wife out at the same time, we are happy now, without her I would only be half a man. Is there something wrong with me? I don't think so.

ok you slutty and independent slobs, pay attention.
how many instances of loaded language and mind-control techniques can you spot in the following article from the may 2002 km?
whoever gets the most wins a brown suit from goodwill.. modesty in dress and grooming- km may 2002.
If you're not sure how to dress, take a look in the back of your song book. Those old farts singing surely can't be spiritually weak.
Let your beards grow, get out you bedclothes and you'll be right mate. as for the women folk, well lets face it women have no place in Jehovahs organisation unless they're pioneers or elders servants.

jehovah was peace before he made "man", jehovah was peace after he made "man", and jehovah still is peace, so why do we continue to fight?
people who engage in violence/war are foolish, and they knoweth nothing, cause if they knoweth anything they would'nt fight.
when people go to war, they is not killing their enemies, they are only killing more & more of god's children, for the simply fact that we all is god's children...millions fight over lands, but as i mention before this life is not suppose what it's suppose to be, visions of the earthly paradise that was plan from the beginning was jehovah plan, in reality, all of mankind is suppose to enjoy each other visits, from one part of the earth, to other.. why you be so ignorant of the visions of the armageddon messiah?
Why?
Why should we all read this statement?
You are excused as you are a newby.
Read and learn but you need to take off the Watchtower filter and open your mind.
