Very good ideas witchtowerwitch, you could also wear a big cross on your neck the next time they come to your door, it used to scare vampires away in previous centuries.

Would you ever go back for the fake friends ?
by Pitchess Co-Gen into quote the great rapper t.i this statement hit home : "never forget the people who stayed when everyone else left.. stay true to your team".
i had a lot of people leave my side three years ago; because some of my "phony homies" began to listen to my ex-finance spreading rumors about me and my family.
so to make a long story short i lost a lot of "friends" from my old way of life, but i picked up some true homies , and reconnected with a true homie in the long run.. i just had to ask that question because some of us were popular while we were in or we weren't the social butterflies.

Go back? I couldn’t even if I tried, which is not the case.
I am sure all my “friends” would drop me like a hot potato the moment I got disfellowshipped without even knowing the reason why.
I still meet with some of them from time to time, but I am very aware that it is a superficial relationship and take it for what it is.

Do you wear your mark proudly....
by Momma-Tossed-Me inat times in histroy the ruling classes have used marking or tatooing as a mark to notify the public of how to respond or be warned with regard to the individual bearing the mark.. in some cultures this marking practice has caused more problems than it solved.
these individuals have banded together and gained influence among the populace, some for good purpose, some for bad.. i would like to think that our collective purpose is good.
our purpose should be educational, informing those who are in, and out, that this organization has lost god's approval if it ever had it at all.. inorder to do that we must not shrink away from those who are in when we see them in public.

I wear the scarlet letter as a badge of honour. It is far more beautiful than the 666 hanging at the door of the KH.

Two Questions for the 'Governing Body'
by The Searcher ini'm pretty certain in my own mind that certain ones at brooklyn will have been 'assigned' to monitor websites such as this, despite warning the 'flock' that they musn't do the same.
therefore, i expect such ones to pass this on.. my questions may seem "rebellious" to certain ones, but they deserve scriptural, not organizational answers -.
why are we as a worldwide brotherhood, urged to expend ourselves as much as possible in the ministry, discussing and defending with complete strangers our bible based beliefs, (1 peter 3:15) and yet we are expressly forbidden from doing so with our brothers and sisters?

Hi Searcher, very good questions, I would like to believe there is somebody honest minded enough among those from the organization that monitor this pages, but to reach that position you would have already proven beyond any reasonable doubt that you support the cause. Otherwise they wouldn’t trust you to read these sites. There are many reasons why one would support an unjust cause like personal gain, or just believing it is a just cause.

Could UFO Disclosure Bring About A Golden Age?
by metatron inthere are a great many people - and internet sites- that preach a sort of 2012/ufo gospel.
while they may contradict one another, they mostly teach that ufo's will intervene and save us, especially if governments admit that they exist.. yeah, ok..... been there, heard that..... but could there be a core of truth to this idea?.
what would happen if the world acknowledged that et's exist?.

I had a school friend who also had an UFO experience with her family, I do not doubt she saw something, but I don’t believe her interpretation of it.
If aliens were real, we’d still have to deal with the same question, who made the aliens?

What leads a person to think they are inspired by God?
by jwfacts inthere seems no end of people claiming to be inspired.
there are numerous holy books claiming to have been handed to their writers by god.
these days a person writing their own holy book is likely to be met with scepticism (unless you are a scientologist), so people tend to claim to be inspired to interpret older holy books.

Probably a mixture of megalomania and seeking to exercise power over others, or as in the case of the witnesses and others like them, being manipulated by somebody that suffers from megalomania and that seeks to exercise power over others.
Ultimately all of us are inspired by whoever or whatever we make our god.
