Apostasy Trial - behind the scenes video of how I recorded it

by RayPublisher in

behind the scenes footage of how i rigged up my iphone to video record my secret judicial meeting with the elders.. .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=lq9xav12h4m.

the thumbnail that youtube chose is actually pretty funny...mia is looking like a flower child lol!

thank's for the new word "eisegesis", while reading your article on jesus christ's mediatorship between mankind and the annointed (now governing body) 144,000.. you content is very good as you present your case with valuable insights without attacking witnesses as "morons, idiots, cult" or like some other agencies do!

cheerio!.

I love, love, love JW Facts. Thank you so much, Paul!

Does the WTS own stock in a dog food company? They seem to want to condemn the elderly to a marginal lifestyle, that's for sure.

so i moved to another hall to better help me fade.

so far it's been great although it is a very long and annoying process!

so i'm very good friends with the coordinating elder in the new hall since we've known each other for years and so instead of mailing them to the other hall he decided to pass them on to my dad so he could give them to me and for me to give them to the other hall.

The last time I found a tract in my door I burned it and then took the ashes outside and ground them into the dirt with my heel. Very satifsying.

Short of that, if you have access to a dog, you could smear them with dog food and let nature take its course.

.and it's also known as new jersey.. although we now have a generator to heat our house and run the water, we abandonded ship tonight because of the snow/wind, and we're staying with family.

my work days run about 14 hours/7 days a week, and then i have school at night two nights a week.. brutal.. it's a nightmare out there.

still huge trees down all over, all utilities on the ground, and now snow and wind.

I'm so sorry you guys are getting another whammy from the nor'easter. Glad you have somewhere to stay and keep safe.

Quick question, did you feel lonely at the meetings even though you were part of the action?

by Theocratic Sedition in

just curious, something i've noticed only lately.

i'm in the mix within the congregation, stay late after the meeting is over, converse with quite a few people afterwards, make plans for saturday and sometimes sunday service and yet i feel so awfully alone walking to my car afterwards.

i feel lonely when i'm talking and laughing with people after the meeting.

cobaltcupcake

OMG, Outlaw, that's priceless! LOL!

I can't say I felt lonely. Aggravated for sure.

Shunning - I just can't get my head around it

by jambon1 in

let me first state that i have never been shunned.

i faded from the org very quickly & my life hasn't been blighted by this practice.. i have been out of the organisation for over 6 years.

most of the things i left the religion for, i have came to terms with.

cobaltcupcake

Amen.

How Do You Respond When JWs Say There Is MORE Growth Than Ever Before?

by minimus in

i hear that comment from my mom that there are more baptisms, more magazines placed, more of everything!

(a sign of jah's blessing)..

JWFacts - Interesting graph. I'd love to see one for the early 1970s.

I was baptized in January of 1974 at a circuit assembly with a total attendance of around 1500. There were 119 people baptized at that assembly, and judging from what I saw while standing in line waiting my turn, probably 3/4 of that number were teenagers with frantic parents (that was the case with me). Was that really "growth?"

Claire Weekes' techniques for overcoming anxiety work. I was having anxiety and panic attacks pretty much 24/7, but her advice cured me. I highly recommend it.
