  I'm writing a novel!

  by punkofnice in

  2. friends

  i'm up to about 30k words at the moment and still going strong.. i don't expect it'll ever get off the ground.....at least i'm going to try though.. i'm thinking of 6 months time and looking at the route of self publishing.

  yes, i want to be a publisher.. it's very violent in places, has violent sexual scenes and very strong language.. it's everything the watchtower(r) said i should avoid.....i wonder if my authentic self has exploded into freedom?.

  if you want more info or wish to read a snippet let me know.. i can't think of a title and have changed it several times, at the moment it's called 'boomshot.

  I'm a strong believer that no matter how evil someone has been in the past, they should be given a chance of rehabilitation and forgiven if they are truly sorry, have stopped whatever evil acts they did and tried to make amends. So on that basis I do not blame the WTS for reinstating him if he was genuinely repentant. But this raises questions in my mind. I don't know all the facts of this case but what were his "works befitting repentance"? Did they include telling him to go to the police to confess his crime? Surely that should have been a minimum requirement.

  Coming soon to a District Convention near you, it's the Aposto-Blimp!

  coming soon to a district convention near you, it's the aposto-blimp!.

  be on the lookout for the latest technology for telling the truth about the truth: a five meter long, helium filled blimp which will cruise about the hapless fools at a district convention.

  made from tear-resistant mylar with propellors powered by lightweight lithium power cells, the blimp will be guided by a small computer with gps assistance and will follow its flight path in and around the stadium for hours at a time.

  A static blimp (or barrage balloon), moored nearby the stadium and high enough for many in the audience to see (Ideally behind the speaker's stand), with JWFacts.com emblazoned on it could be very powerful in all seriousness.

  Kicking the "Gay Habit" at the IC

  by breakfast of champions in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  heard from a reliable source that this was part of friday's program.

  they even interviewed a "former gay man" who "kicked the gay habit".. evidently kicking the "gay habit" is difficult, not unlike quitting smoking or avoiding sugary snacks.

  the persons who related this to me found the whole thing to be laughable at best, but honestly seemed quite disturbed by it (which is good!

  That kind of crap from the WTS actually makes me feel sick. Next my mum and others will be saying, well it worked for him, gays can be happy if they rely on Jehovah and stick with his organisation and their spiritual "paradise".

  I get what you mean about the inconsistency. I can kind of understand that some alcohol in moderation is supposed to be good for you in some ways. Moderate red wine is supposed to be good for the heart, though any amount increases cancer risk. Ok so the jury's out...BUT.....

  What about sunbathing and sunbeds? - as in lying out in the sun all day on a beach in Greece or going to a salon regularly? The amount of JW sun worshippers is unbelievable! I have read secular articles that say the cancer risk of lying in the sun is greater than the risk from smoking. Ok I'm a big hypocrite here. I have been the world's worst sun worshipper and my doctor tells me I should probably expect to get skin cancer as a result - but it always struck me as odd that I could deliberately put my health at great risk like that and no one would raise an eye brow - but have one cigarette and you'll get caught in a rugby scrum of elders pouncing on you and your congregation friends shaking their heads at how worldly and rebellious you are...

  I hope that's not hijacking the thread. I think it's kind of on the same lines as the OP. But basically, I totally get where you're coming from...

  I went to nudist beaches quite a few times while still in - UK, Mykonos, various places. Ironically never been to one since i've been out. I do occasionally worry about what damage the sunburn did during those years tho haha
