Hey Grits, if you see the follow up to this story it'll probably claim an exhorbitant fee in damages for insurance claims. I'm sure a little paints going to cost at least $5,000 to clean up. LOL.

I don't know how many here have heard of Ernst Zundel. He's a German born white supremicist who spent many years living in Canada. He ran into problems with our laws sometime in the 80's writing his revisionist literature about the holocaust never happening. We've all heard this kind of crap before, it's considered a hate crime and Ernst got charged under Canadian laws.
One unfortunate thing about being Canadian is that our justice system really sucks because it is so enemic. Good old Ernst escaped with basically a slap on the wrist, fortunately his legal expenses were enormous. Thats one thing our justice system is good at, making lawyers money. Anyway after years of fighting court battles, Ernst finally got sick of Canada and went down south with a visa.
Ernst's visa has just expired, so the Americans ship this work of art up to the Rainbow bridge and put him on our doorstep. We don't want him either, our government wants to deport him back to his country of origin. Well Germany is known to have the toughest anti-hate crime laws in the world. so what does Ernst do? Applies for refugee status to stay in Canada. Right now he's sitting in the Thorold Detention Center awaiting a ruling from our Immigration people wich could take months, years to arrive at. In the meantime the tax payers of Canada have to pay for this guy. I say ship him home and let the Germans deal with him.

Did You Really Understand What You Were Getting Into When You Got Baptized?
by minimus inthe majority of people who become jehovah's witnesses, really have no idea what they've gotten themselves into.
did you truly understand those baptismal vows that you made?

Fortunately for me the shit hit the fan when I was considering taking the plunge. Not being baptised I was allowed to f-f-f-fade away and ride into the sunset.

spoken to my sister at long last
by nightwarrior inmrs nightwarrior here,.
well i have spoken to a couple of close friends about us leaving the borg, and now after quite awhile, i have told my sister... thankfully it came as a natural progression in a telephone conversation we were having..... i told her about the facts that we have found out over the last few months, and all the research that we had done, and she was not interested, in that she said, the same old thing, that we all seem to hear, well it is a perfect organisation run by imperfect man, oh that really annoys me..and that jehovah would deal with those bros that had been wrong in the way that we have been treat, and that i should stil go to the kh, and sit at the back and listen, and then leave, it was unbelievable.. then i mentioned about the un... she knew nothing of this, and where did i find all the information from...here goes, by researching on the web... well that was a red rag to a bull....she suddenly had to go and do her husbands dinner, after telling me initially that she had time to talk to me.... sadly me sister is a person that unless she has found the information, she does not want to know....and everyone else is wrong.... and yes you guessed right, she is not interested in what i had to say... i mentioned ray franz, and the reasons as to why he was disf.
her answer... well he must have been apostate!!.

Mrs. Nightwarrior,
I can relate fully to what you are saying. It's been many years since I left the organization and I never had any conversations with any of my family members about why I left. Actually they all thought they knew why, so they never questioned, when in fact they were totally clueless.
I too had come from a close family. Unfortunately by not talking these matters over with them 25 years ago has left a rift that never seems to heal. I'm not as close to the members of my family who are witnesses as I am to those who aren't. All I can say is try to maintain conversation with her, maybe one day she'll pay attention.
Steve.

Good News of the Kingdub
by JH injesus said the good news of the kingdom would be preached, and then the end would come.
if you believe in jesus, then you believe in what he says, so there is an end.
second, who is preaching the good news today, like jesus said?

Will,
I wish someone else would pick up this thread and answer your questions. I've been out so long that my understanding has faded both with time and possibly 'new light'. It's taken me years of alcohol indulgence to dull all these teachings.
P.S. still off the ciggies 12 days now.

What is your priority in life?
by JH inare you the type that measures success by the amount of money you have?.
people are all different, and all the same at the same time.
we all want to be happy, healthy and successful, but not everyone takes the same road in life.. what are your priorities in life?.

My priorties are fairly simple: to remain non-smoking yet still manage to stumble around most of the day in an alcohol induced stupor. (It's actually the one thing I've managed to succeed at for the last 20 years.)

Congrats Viv!!!
I'm at 11 days now. It's getting easier everyday now. The toughest was the third, after that it was all uphill. I even went out for a bunch of beers last night and didn't even want a smoke. Keep it up, if I can do it after 20 something years almost anyone can.
