Fiction it may be but a review on Amazon refers to it as "thoroughly researched and historically accurate". Just saying

THIS NEEDS ITS OWN THREAD:: TODAY's WT Paragraph 16
by Lied2NoMore inhere is what got my spidey senses tingling: paragraph 16, reference to daniel p mannix book, was wondering if his statement was mis-quoted so i did my research.......but was even more shocked when i saw this: .
from amazon dot com reviews................ probably the most provocative work of historical fiction published this century,"those who are about to die" is pure mannix at his best.
a uncensured exploration of what likely took place in the circuses of ancient rome.

WOW Thanks for posting this. That statement about the Finished Mystery being rushed out to "fulfill prophecy" is amazing if it's backed up by evidence. I'll need to do some research on the significance of the three years etc (Rev book says nine months??) Great stuff. thanks

Dinosaurs Of Eden
by TD ini saw this at the visiting nurse book sale in february and it was too macabre to pass up.. .
the book is written by ken ham, an australian born, young earth creationist.
briefly, two children go back in time using the bible as their "time machine" and discover that dinosaurs of the entire mesozoic era coexisted with adam and eve:.

Some great albums already mentioned on here - the Cure, Marvin Gaye...wow
The album that towers in my life - simply because it unexpectedly came at the right time and its lyrics set off a chain of thoughts that ended up with me eventually breaking free mentally from the chains of the JWs is Darren Hayes' very electronic 2004 album The Tension and the Spark. One of those albums I bought then never actually listened to until a couple of weeks later. Couldn't believe it from the opening lines of Darkness ("been spending so much time underground, I guess my eyes adjusted to the lack of light...I was covered in darkness") to the spiritual/fleshly war described in I Like the Way ("the decadence of giving in to desire creates such entropy within - looking for love in spiritual faces, blind to the art of fabrication..."). This was an album speaking to ME!
To this day I'm still not sure why I bought the album in the first place - I always found him and his group Savage Garden as saccharine and whiney. It's a shame he went back to the whining and the saccharine with subsequent albums but for a moment Darren Hayes had something genuine to say and he said it very well.

I ran into an active JW...surprised
by nolongerconfused inso as you all know, i have fully faded...i'm completely out and have not told the elders or da myself...just faded 100%.... so i run into an active jw, different congregation, and as i walk past him i say, "hey so and so, how are you doing?
"....he looks down, doesnt dare look at me in the eyeball and keeps walking...then a split second later he turns around and says, hey man, aren't yuo disfellowshipped?....
i was like wtf?...lol, i said "not that i know of"...i asked him who told him such thing?...he wouldnt tell me who, but he had "heard"...so i just left it at that and told him if he wants to know then to contact my ex-elders.... my thing is, could the elders have df'ed me without me knowing it?...i have not been accused of their so called "apostasy", nor have i received a letter requesting info or to set up a meeting, nor a call...the coordinating elder (formally president/presiding overseer) still texts me all the time saying hi etc...no religious texts or anything like that).

Hey Parakeet - if your Mum didn't hear it yet then she probably won't- it was probably about a year ago. I got the impression it was an aside rather than being in the outline - you know how some of these COs like to sprinkle their talks with lots of personal opinion...but wouldn't surprise me if this is the way things go in future.

Are homosexuals born that way? The March 15 Watchtower seems to say so.
by matt2414 in15 one brother who was raised in a christian household wrote that for as long as he could remember, he struggled with homosexual tendencies.
he said: i always felt awkward.
it seemed that i didnt fit in anywhere.

Don't get me started on that Your Youth book chapter. If there's one thing I don't think I could ever forgive the WTS for it's that book. I think I was about 8 when I went through that chapter with my Mum. that chapter explicitly stated that homosexuals aren't born that way (consider that a WT two-fingered salute, Gaga) but that they learn the behaviour. I spent the next 20 years feeling nothing but guilt and shame over how evil I was and waiting to grow out what must surely be a phase...
