Anti-climax - the NK rocket appears to have failed.
by fulltimestudent inthe uk independent reports that a nk rocked fired last night appears to have failed a short time after firing.
they cited chinese and us reports of the failure.. quote:.
north korea's widely anticipated and controversial launch of its long-range rocket was said by the us to have failed last night, with china reporting the rocket had been seen falling into the sea after taking off.. news of the rocket being fired was announced by kim min-seok, a spokesman for south korea's defence ministry, who told reporters in a nationally televised news conference that it was launched at 7.39am local time, though there was no word from pyongyang about the launch.. the united nations security council said it would discuss the launch at 1pm bst today.. the launch had long been expected but its timing came as something of a surprise as fierce winds whipping across the korean peninsula had apparently forced pyongyang to delay.. unquote.

Thank you very much for sharing this letter. If anyone else has any personal correspondence from Ray Franz that they don't mind sharing I would definatley be interested in reading it. I found both Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom to be fantastic books, and this letter was as well.

Quotemines please
by goddidit inas we all know, reaching a believing jw is difficult, maybe impossible.. i've tried many years of reasoning before i realised that reason isn't something they really understand, and science is something they can brush off with a wave of their hand.
now i'm going to prepare very succinct examples of their blatant quotemining and somehow get one of them to read it, then ask them why purveyors of the truth need to use lies to support their claims.
maybe i'm too optimistic but i'm hopeful this might have some effect.

Unfortunately most "true believers" are not bothered with facts. If you could help someone to see TTATT with facts there would no longer be a ORG. My suggestion is fade (there is good advice on this site how to fade with no recrimmination) periodically ask the other person questions that will make them think. That is pretty much all you can do. If you could prove it with facts I would have done it with my family long ago.

Unbelievable Assertion!!!!!!!
by The Searcher inwe had our special assembly day this weekend.. what the district overseer stated in his talk totally stunned me, and made me feel sick to my stomach.
he said, "christ is directing us through the governing body, and we cannot get holy spirit except through them!".
i do not wish to reveal all my thoughts on his statement, but i pray to god that it acts as a wake-up call to at least some of the audience.. suffice to say that the gb is now the mediator to our mediator, and from now on, i will have to pray for holy spirit through the name of the gb!!.

One of the risk factors:
Alcohol use
Heavy use of alcohol has been linked to colorectal cancer. Men should limit their use to no more than 2 drinks a day and women no more than one.

I would like to go on record as agreeing with the poster above. All JW's will be able to partake sooner or later. I will add the proviso that they will reserve the nibble and sip for only ACTIVE JW's that meet certain hour requirements or perhaps (and I am not predicting this part) those who tithe. They are able to change anything and the average R&F JW will never kick against them. They will know in their heart it is wrong but the fear of armageddon and losing their family will keep them in line.

I was a MS giving public talks. When I found out about he UN/NGO stuff I stepped down. Then became irregular, then had a whole issue with the BOE (long story). Short version is they are basically afraid of me now. They were wrong about something and I called them on it. They know it. So basically they leave me alone and I don't get too vocal in my opionions. My family is all still "in" but some have changed halls. I go to MAYBE 4 meetings a year just keep everybody talking to me.

"We have truly seen Jehovah's hand" - the shocking side of Watchtower propaganda
by cedars inas a special "thank you" gift to the watch tower society's team of lawyers for getting jwsurvey shut down yesterday, i have written a new article focussing on the experience of the nigeria plane crash from pages 29 and 30 of the 2013 yearbook.
the experience purports to be about the relief committee set up to assist a witness family whose home was destroyed by a deadly plane crash that claimed over 150 lives rather than the freak survival of the family because they obediently attended their meeting.. still, the reaction of witnesses on facebook unmistakably demonstrates that the real aim of the watchtower propaganda machine was mostly achieved in this article.
despite the fact that two witnesses were recently killed in a bus crash on their way to an assembly, apparently those who obey the bible's command to not forsake gathering together will experience "jehovah's hand" of protection.. here is the link.... http://jwsurvey.org/cedars-blog/we-have-truly-seen-jehovahs-hand-the-shocking-side-of-watchtower-propaganda.

One of the commenters on that page was Keisha Dj-Bubblelic Ious-Stith. She wrote on facebook about the plane wreck: " This is truly a lesson in obedience. This family clearly understood Jehovah’s instructions about not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together. This clearly served as a protection in more ways than just one!"
Interesting thing is she is a dee jay and here is one of her profile pix along with an ad for one of her events:
The first pic below looks like she is getting ready to give someone a lesson in obedience
Don't forget F'Him Girl Friday. It is right between ministry school Thursday and service Saturday.
