min,
isn't your mother anointed?
YOU are being tracked.
As Alan and others said, jw do not questiong the org until they are hurt, personally...
BTW
about a week ago a jw relative told me "you know something I don't know"... "I want to know", but until I am sure relatives REALLY want to 'know' I don't say much.
In summary the jw relative said that the facts speak volumes and that in every family situation I have done the right thing in contrast to what everyoneelse is saying. So there is light for them at the end of the tunnel.
Regarding CoC book, when i put my hans on it a felt unconfortable even i had nothing to do with the jw for years.
Just to give you an idea of the terror...inculcated, specially affecting people who beleive in demons... it is not easy my friend. It requires a lot of emotional and mental power to jump.
What jw need first is to be exposed to psicoanalisys and other nonconfrontational issues, like argumentation and logic, but that is too much for most of them.
BTW now that going to a "mental doctor" and take therapy is allowed to jw just watch. Any decent psicologist will tell exactly what their problem is... why do you think wt for decades did not allowed it.

I see topic having to do with the external part of reproductive organs is an attetion graver.
urine = sweat. no wonder when i dance dance dance the next day i can smell my shirt a mile away. If sweating was mild then i wear the shirt again and feell 'actracted' to myself, (not to mention women..) due to the feromone (sp) I guess. I will try urine next time... good perfume is too expensive.

World War 1 and 1914
by Schizm in.
how did it just so happen that a world war took place in the very year that russell had attached so much importance to?
i realize that he expected 1914 to see the end of the world's governments, and of course that didn't happen, but it still seems to be quite remarkable that this war happened that very year ... a war that would later be construed to be the fulfillment of jesus' prediction in matthew 24:7.. the explanation given on the e-watchman site is that satan deliberately caused the war to happen so as to mislead jehovah's witnesses into thinking they had actually seen the fulfillment of bible prophecy, in order to make them think that jesus had returned invisably.. any ideas?.

JW's and government
by Granny Linda inmy jw sister works for the postal service, wearing the uniform and driving one of their mail trucks.
not only do i think this is hypocritical given the jw stance on government, it pisses me off each time i go to the post office and read the stupid sign about postal employees and federal crimes blah blah blah - like, what makes them so much more important than any other working person.. anyhow this has been bugging me for some time and i'd really like to confront her one day about wearing a symbol of the government, but i doubt i'll ever have the chance.
gawd, i detest those phoney people.. gl.

last two jw ladies tried to "preach" to me, after a few minutes the ran out of words.
They said they dont care about politics becasue god's kingdom will fix everything, i asked what do you do during the mean time, if too many people think as you do then thieves, criminals, would be running the country.
I told then in fact you are "preaching to me in this park at night just because you feel safe seeing a few police officers around, don't you?,
if the major does not protect the city, THEY replace him with a new one during the next election, don't THEY? (YOU TWO DON'T COUNT). So don't you ever complaint...
They even shoot themselves mentioning they "authoritiries are alowed by god. I said if so then try to choose the best availble or DONT COMPLAINT.
Hey not only a gov jos (usps) is ok but welfare is fine, UN library card card is even better, yeah right they are not part of the political system.
They don't boicot (sp?) IRS just because they know exactly what any gov will do to them if they even hint..
Can jw differentiate their righ hand from their left hand?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW THAT NOBODY ELSE KNOWS?
by Terry ini happen to think quite a few intelligent people have cornered the market on certain information.. when you are around other intelligent people you find in talking with them that you are incredibly more well informed about certain subjects than other people are.
in fact, you might know things that nobody else knows anything about.. tell me what it is that you know.. i have some really quirky things i know.
but, what do you know that sets you apart?

I am the only one who knows that i have no clue "All i know is that i know nothing"
But i know that with the right 'tuner" (for different type of wavelenghs) you could see (in full color and motion) and listen to any live or dead indiviudal or animal, even Rutherford...
Soledad,
"I know the exact location of Las Tetas de Mariana (longitude and latitude)" LOL
Can you share the info? Is it below or above the ecuator (sp?) east or west from Greenwich (sp)
UK is alwasy in the midle of everything, you know.
btw, are they at a fixed location or do they move with the help of two legs?
Terry,
"works dandy" ? what is it?
BTW, do you know where the Pi come from?
Multiplying mentally any two numbers, no matter what the number of digits and get a close answer is easy, specially for multiple choice answers or other common use where you dont need to know the exact answer. The key is using the "power of ten"
BTW
The only ones that could claim to know anything are the specialist, those who, as time pass, know more about less.

No. Santa claus appears every year. Oh i'm sorry that "story" is not part of the bible YET.
After a few more hundred years may be included. After all it is being celebrated every year along the birthdate and death of the latest and most known bible personality.
Besides every year a "miracle" happens, lots of money come from nowhere, (mana(sp?)) and star circulating like magic, around cristmass time. Millions have witnessed.
Oh. dont forget that during 1969 angels came to earth pickedup a few humans and transported them to heaven and back, actually they took a break at the moon while traveling around.
But that is not part of the bible YET either, as someone said miracles are always in the distant past.
Did someone mention japan? don't forget that, prior to the moon experience, god did, (through humans flying on birds), some miracle droping firecrack, (just to test and scare everyone who does not beleive that "god bless america") , in heroshima and nagasaki.
Just read the bible again in a couple thousan years and let me know.

Pure emotional factors, rahter tahn ignorance is what set even brilliant people apart with different opinions, opposite corners.
As an silly example even very brilliant people take sides about their employeer, their mate, their country, their religion etc NO MATTER WHAT.
Everyone is emotional, even brilliant people.
Satanus,
even god is emotional, according to bible she/he gets ANGRY (emotion) and all.
Emotions do no follow rules constantly, can not be predicted.
Even this topic may not be provocative emotionally to generate hundreds of replies, try fluff.
