(close enough).
it's weird i never come here this late.
i know it's a virtual place, but it feels as if i'm walking through an empty building.
Seems I'm always running around this place at night.. Probably because I work nights and strangely enough.. I'm at work Course my strange schedule consists of 8 straight shifts then 6 days off so that explains why I disappear for days on end as I don't mess with the computer much when I'm off.
But awake and working here.. it's 2:39AM

i wonder if they'd be willing to do this to a few pedophile witnesses?

Amen!

do all of you ex-jehovah's witnesses get upset when you are called an apostate?
you all call each other apostates, so why should you all get upset if i call you apostates?
if you don't like being called 'apostate', what title would you prefer?
You can call me an apostate, an asshole, and a wide assortment of names and the only thing you could ever call me that would offend me would be if you called me a Jehovah's Witness.

voyeur gets women to bare breasts for satellite .
(filed: 28/06/2002) .
four women have contacted police after being persuaded to stand topless in their windows or balconies so that a satellite could give them a mammogram.. the women, aged between 19 and 45, living in the algarve, southern portugal, were all contacted by telephone by a woman claiming to be a doctor.. she told them that a revolutionary method had been developed of conducting breast examinations by satellite.. they were told that the consultation would be free if they followed instructions by stripping to the waist and standing in view of the satellite.. one woman was so trusting that she took off all her clothes for the "examination".. later, the women were telephoned with the alleged results of the examinations.
If it wasn't sort of sad it would be downright funny. Amazing how people can be so damn dumb sometimes.

Not JW related but interesting never the less
there was a middle-aged woman in our kingdom hall who was a long time pioneer.
she was a very warm and loving woman and so when she announced her plans for a family vacation one year some of us got together and took up a little collection so that she would have some extra money to spend.
after all, she was working hard for jehovah and werent we supposed to show our appreciation?.
Now that is some of the most insane behavior I've ever heard from any so called christian, even a damn JW! The fact that she would "gleefully" tell this to others is sickening.

according to the jw doctrine, mankind has tried every form of goverment but ultimately failed to rule successfully.
so many wars ... we really need big j to sort things out.
what a swell guy.
That's a great point Simon, I never really thought about that one like that

spiritual abuse occurs when a person in the position of spiritual authority uses his or her position to control another person.
Very well said and very true. JW's are very guilty of this type of abuse as well as many others we know all too well of nowadays.
