Lol Quarterback I'm not sure if you meant you are gluten intolerant or you dislike gluttons. Either way you made me smile on this Sunday morning.

Any new partakers this year???
by DATA-DOG ini just wondered if anyone was going to partake this year?
when i learned ttatt, it became obvious that the wtbts was not god's organization.
it became obvious that if the bible was true, the wtbts's teaching on the "anointed" were false.

Sausage or Bacon?
by Quarterback inwhen bethel serves pancakes, do they give you a choice?
is it only 1 choice.
it sure would be a deal breaker for me if i didn't get to choose between bacon, or sausages.

My mother always gave us pancakes with sugar and orange juice. Don't know if that's a London thing which is where she grew up.
Quorn bacon style slices are surprisingly good with scrambled eggs and toms.

My 45 Minute Conversation With JWs Today
by cofty inas i was saying before the watchtower literature trolley has arrived in my little town.... my wife and i were in town this afternoon and i saw one of my former elder colleagues standing beside the trolley talking to a young man and reading to him from one of their books.
ray was one my least favourite people - he was everything that is bad about jw elders.
i went up to them and interrupted and told the man that this is a cult recruitment campaign.

He wanted to discuss creation but his best argument was "there are still monkeys in the zoo" so I decided it would have been an unfair fight.
Lol. Glad you had a civilized discussion, I'm sure what you said will stay with them. Enjoy your meal.

it is always advisable for large donors to obtain independent legal advice before entering into donation programs.
Which they wouldn't have done because they didn't realise they were being manipulated by a cult. Very sad for the beneficiaries of the estate who were probably this couple's children and grandchildren.

How would God rate you - 1 to 10 ?
by LogCon inif god [whatever name you would call him/her/it- but - for this post we will simply say the creator] rated you on a scale of 1 - 10 depending on your degree of righteousness,.
and for righteousness we will go with the following definition:.
"arising from a sense of righteous indignation of injustice".

I am totally indignant about injustice and cruelty in this world, off the scale! I am just fed up waiting for a god to do anything about it so I do my drop in the ocean bit giving to charity and volunteering.
That's not because I'm self righteous but because I really believe all those drops do add up to an ocean. There are 7 billion of us, there's nothing we can't achieve, people power!
What makes me most indignant is millions of cultists being told to do nothing because they have to wait for a god. I was one of them, wasting my money, time, energy!

How did you find the truth about the truth (TTATT)
by Maat13 ini am sure there has been a post about this subject, however being a recent addition to the network i don't know how to do a search.
and i'm sure new folks have joined since then.
i am really curious of how others came to know ttatt.. for me is was a real bad experience with one elder after another.

My husband was an elder for four years, that's how we found out. In shock and disbelief at how elders behave we prayed to Jehovah for help to tell us what was going on in his organization. After that we went to the library and looked in the religion section. I can't remeber what we thought we were looking for, possibly Bible encyclopedias. We found Crisis of Conscience and that was that.
