I agree with you minimus, it is totaly ridiculous how the witnesses use the "FEAR FACTOR", to make witnesses stand at attention and be on guard. Lets face it Minimus remember 9-11 the WTS closed its door thinking that the end was happening.

I can't fathom that people of intellict are fooled by an organization hell bend on scaring the hell out of them.

Anyway they will have to answer for their deeds.

The only reason we know so much of the world situation is because it is at our finger tips, and way back when there were no computers, word of mouth was the only way people became aware of disasters and epidemics. Can you imagine if in the people of the middle ages had knowlege as fast as we do today they would have thought the world was coming to an end. They had no concept of the gravity of the plague that was rampaging throughout the world at that time. Or when Mount Vesuvious in 79 AD destroyed Pompeii and Herculonia did they think the end of the world was neigh or did the other parts of the world even know of it. No they didn't not until travellers came from other villages and cities did people get that knowlege. Some of the greatest calamities to mankind passed by without it being known, so today with the internet we recieve information instantly and we are still alive . So if the end is coming as fast as the JWs proclaim then heaven help us all. I don't believe it anymore than the peoples of centuries ago.

I hope you understand what my point is I am trying to import. If there is an end then it will get here when it gets here and I am not living the FEAR FACTOR disease.

Local Newspaper Printing Molestation Letter Written by AKA Jeff

by flipper in

hello folks.

as you might have been aware, about a month ago after the catholic abuse settlements were made public aka jeff composed a great letter to the editor example to send to our newspapers if we wanted to use it.

i was so impressed by his letter decrying the witnesses hypocrisy in condemning the catholics but not admitting their own fault, that i submitted it to a local newspaper in a county near sacramento , california which has a good amount of readers from lake tahoe to sacramento.

Just thinking here, but aren't all lawsuits against the WTS or anyone for that matter open for public record?

I must apoligize to many of you wonderful friends here for having been tardy in getting back to everyone.

It has been quite a rollercoster for me, and I am just trying to take life one day at atime. I have moments when I feel more sorrow than other days. I have some great friends who have supported me during some of these rougher days.

I recieved many cards of condolances. Believe it that not one card was identical, everyone was different which was really nice. Our favourite monkey KLS sent me a card with some humour and it was so sweet of her as it made me think of how funny Marco and I are.

My intentions are that with in a few years to go to Greece and spread Marco's ashes across the Mediterrean Sea or his village where he was born in the mountians.

I think the ocean will be better as the village is not so accessible for persons with handicaps. Streets are high and narrow twisting and winding every which way. But maybe in a few years my legs may work but I am not really counting on it as it is truly my spine that is bad and so walking is extremely difficult. The Pastors of the church want to accompany me, which will be great. All I have to do is get permission from the government to take the ashes to Greece. I am not keen on flying I am very nervous. I would much rather take a ship but that is alot more expensive, but at the same time I could go to some of the beautiful Greek Islands.

Whatever transpires I will some how get there.

You who have shared with me in my grief, I am eternally grateful, and for the Vigils I truly appreciated that Marco was includied. Thank you all so very much.

Your friend

How many SCUBA divers on JWD?

by JK666 in

i have been diving for 23 years.

i've dove in florida, the caribbean, the graat lakes, and a number of other puddles.. my last major trip was key west.

any others out there in jwd land?

orangefatcat

I would love to be a SCUBA diver, but due to my asthma it is not possible according to my doctor. But I have enjoyed snorkling. It is alot eaiser for me. I can see quite alot on the bottom of a body of water however to go down to deep I can get in trouble.

There was once a JW who was a scuba diver he and his friends went to a stone quarry lake and some how his tank started going awry and the next thing everyone no longer can see him after thier air time was up , the others dove all around the quarry and found him dead in the water. No one really knows what happened, but I do recall someone suggesting it was the regulator on the tank.

That was a very sad day for that witness family.

The place I would love to snorkel at is the Great Barrrier Reef, in Australia, I find it very interesting to that that barrier reef continues all the way to the islands of the Carribean sea.

Has anyone ever snorkeled in either places? I bet it is an experience that one will never forget.

I also like to treasure hunt, and one of these days I am going to buy myself a metal detector. It would be cool to find a treasure. You probably need a good quality detector to detect metals deeper in the sand.

Whatever is is a cool thing to be a scuba diver, Marco and I would go up to Georgian Bay and watch people learn to become proficent divers. They have a school there just up in the town of Tobermory, it is a fabulous place, but heck that water is so damn cold. I would rather swim and snorkel in Lake Huron as I find it a warmer body of water, more so in the month of August.

ta ta for now
