ok before we get off on the wrong foot this is not a flame war.
i read a comment by belbab on hillary's post this morning...he remarked that he had asked a question after the 09/11 attack, that no one answered.
well, i didn't even remember reading it, so i did a simple search.
I dont ignore the posts, Im just like that brother who always sits in the back of the hall and hardly ever comments but pays close attention to the others.
Actually Im too busy to read every post.
But, since I have a crush on Lisa, I make sure to read all her Posts!!

for many of us, the internet is old news.
when i first met my husband in 1995, we were using the internet for his job search.a friend racked up $494 in monthly charges out of my checking account back in the days before aol was unlimited.
(yes, they paid me back) strange, but true.. since that time, i have seen many things.
........"MANY OF THE FREINDS HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ELDERS,OR THE ONES ON THE JUDICIAL COMITTIES FORGETTING THAT IT IS A LOVING PROVISION FROM JEHOVAH TO KEEP THE CONGREGATION CLEAN.."
Clean in what way? In that noone will know that your pioneer buddy is actually a pedophile?
Lisa: I'll have a Hoagie a burrito and a shasta, please...how many tickets will that be?

after the brother finished serving himself, brown said: .
What a lying bastard!
Anyways, my bro-in-law told me about how he had to sit at Browns' table for 2 weeks.
One morning, one particular brother took himself a big serving of oatmeal while JR Brown watched. After the brother finished serving himself, Brown said:
"Mind passing the oatmeal?" in a sarcastic tone. The brother tried to hand over the oatmeal bowl to which Brown said:
"No not that bowl...give me yours". The brother handed it over, to which Brown scoopED out about 3 big spoonfuls of oatmeal and placed it into his own bowl and said:
" Maybe now you'll learn to only take one portion and leave some for evryone else".
Yup, the 'ol JW mentality.....it's worth making an example out of oatmeal rather than of pedophiles.
J.R. Brown........YOU SUCK ASS!!!!!

what's up folks?
nice to see you all still hanging out.. here's what has me pissed this morning:.
there's this elder who i've know since i was about 8. he was one of these super spiritual m.s.
144thou: I applied in the midst of all the problems that were starting with me in the congo. I kind of knew which way it was going so I secretly started getting ready for something I always wanted to do.
Freddy: Go suck some milk out of your bowl, you have no clue of what the heck your talking about. But then again thats what makes you Fredhall!

What's up folks? Nice to see you all still hanging out.
Here's what has me pissed this morning:
There's this elder who I've know since I was about 8. He was one of these super spiritual M.S. and then elder who used to say things like: " What?, you got a flat tire?, well pray to Jehovah and you will see how he will take care of it...just pray.."
Well anyway, he moved away many several years ago to another Cong. in Manhattan. When I moved to my present address 5 years ago, guess who I bumped into that lived down the block? Now I got a daily dose of: "Do you see how jehovah is blessing you brother? Now that you have more time for field service? I have 10 bible studies that I would like to give you..lets meet". (gag!!!!)
But since my whole ousting incident in my local hall 3 years ago (thanks to the C.O.....no really thanks!) he and his family have'nt talked to me. They walk right by me, even crossing the street! Of course I say hi really loud so that they have no choice but to acknowledge.
Anyway this guy comes to my door Sunday wanting to speak to me. I was like " shit..I hope the local elders aren't trying to come after me". But to my surprise do you know what this freak wanted??
He told me that he had to move out of his home because of some "problem" and that he was looking for a room to rent for himself!!
I was in shock! "Huh?" He apparently had to move right then and there. I took him to several building where I knew several people who were looking for roomates and got him squared away. All this time I'm in my K9 BDU's and with my sidearm. He did not say a word about it.
So that same day he's going back and forth with his things moving them to his new room. All he does now is wander around the block at night, I would love to know what happened, knowing Jws though, it will only be a matter of time before I find out.
And now everytime I see him , he gives me a hug and a strong handshake, talking about "lets get together".
What, so now that he's obviously not an elder anymore (he's married with kids) he can talk to me and even solicite my help?
I know many of you would'nt have helped him, but it's in may nature to help anybody in need.
It still amazes me though how the JW mentality works.....What friggin' Hypocrites!!!........geez.

the society will not and can not allow current levels of defection without sanction.
shunning is their hallmark and what allows members to live in their hypnotic dream-like state, away from the evil informative apostates.. soon they will have to either change their baptism questions again, with the phrasing something like &"only by doing all the things jw in good standing do can we be considered as jw" blah blah blah.
they will then use that as a springboard to da or df members who don't attend meetings.. either that, or they will adopt another one of their stunning resolutions [8>]like they've resolved in the past.
Hi Lisa!!
"Before you know it, every congregation will have ratified the rules of Membership."
As you know, every major change is made with the "new light" thoery.
So as long as the Wt keeps with their same old song, they can get the majority of the 6 million to do and think just about anything!
BTW, how are you?? Hope you're doing good. I've been away on training for the past 4 weeks.

i have a theory and i'd like to put it to the test here.. i would be willing to bet that the posters who post a great deal probably commented more than the average publisher at the meetings.. i know it's true in my case.. on simon's forum we have the whole range of 'publishers-' from those that comment a lot ---down to those that are just there.
the lurkers.. what about you?.
lisa
They had me up on stage most of the time so I got away with commenting alot.
The need was great!!!
well, i was tempted but i decided not to go to the most bizarre religious ritual of modern times....how about you?.
isp
Patriot, present for duty (the evil apostate duty that is...)
I guess I'm not wanted there either....4 years still not 1 phone call from anyone in the circuit.
Is that the way Jesus would act??Hmmm
i just stumbled onto this website whilst messing about on the internet and i've taken exception to quite a lot of what i've seen here.
incase you think i'm some irate jehovah's witness idiot who's been offended by the terrible blasphemy that he's read on here, i'm not.
i was raised a jw, but now i'm not one.. first of all, given the url, i thought this website was in some way affiliated with the jehovah's witness organization, whereas in reality it seems from the posts i've read that most people here are either former jehovah's witnesses or soon-to-be former jehovah's witnesses.
Ah, geez,not another one.
"I'm not a witness...."
So why do you call yourself a "Lamb"??
It can't be because of your personality because we all see you're stubborn jackass.
