for those of you who may not be aware of who bobby is better know as "you know".
allow me to share some things about this man that may help to shed some light on his mindset as a jw.. one of the most important things i have found when dealing with "loyal" jw on the net is to find out thier status with in the org, esp if they are male- .
you see this organization is a "position" driven organization, esp for males and if they have no position within thier local congo - other than mike handler after being a jw for years then that means in most cases the male jw is considered a flunky- we have seen guys as young as 17 being appointed as ms-.
Wow! I've been wondering about /You Know lately! Truly this is spiritual food at the proper time! Thanks for the info.
Are you going to do a sequal thread about FredHall? I am still wondering why every conversation with him degenerates into a thread about cats/kittens/litter boxes/ etc . . . What's the deal with him and cats?
just wanted to say "welcome" to all the new people who have joined recently whether or not you've mustered up the courage to make your first post yet (it can be daunting).
glad you found us and decided to sign-up!.
i'm the tech guy behind the scenes so if you have any problems or questions then you can either email me (use the 'contact us' link at the bottom of each page) or post a question in the technical support area (unless your problem is that you can't post, lol) and someone will be able to help.. there are a lot of good people here and i'm sure you'll have fun as well as get some good answers.

I've been lurking here since for a couple years and finally took the plunge and signed up a couple months ago. What motivated me to sign up was all those juicy chats with / You Know and FredHall haha j/k
Looking forward to talking with you all!

i have a friend that is of the anointed and dear to my heart.
"i do feel it is time to reveal my heavenly hope.
i am a young anointed jehovah's witness and i have long observed what is going on in the organization.
Fred,
I hope you have a litter box the size of Mt. Everest to hold all of that kitty litter.
.
this is so horrible and unimaginably cruel.
i'm usually a very laid-back, easy-going guy, but if i ever saw people doing something this cruel to a helpless little kitten they would get to find out many painful things about the pointy end of a stick!
I can't say this article surprises me that much. Here where I live (midwestern United States...next to Missouri) they shoot/kill/ram/hit/smash/torture/drown/electricute--you name it--just about anything they can. I've saved I don't know how many turtles from the road before they met a near certain death. In fact, while trying to save several of them they were ran over and smashed right in front of me on purpose. I know several people that speed up and hit anything that they can with their cars. I hear speed is inverse to IQs with people like this. In fact, the small town I live in made national news 2-3 years ago when a dog was tied to the bumper of a pickup truck and dragged all over town. The police arrested the bastards.
It's kinda summed up by a person I know that works for the SPCA and recently moved to where I live from California. She said she was "shocked" when she moved here in terms of "they kill anything that moves."
Hope this wasn't a thread hijack. Just giving my thoughts upon reading the article. Hopefully the people that did that will get what they have coming to them. It sure as hell won't be as bad as what I'd do to them and a crapload of other animal abusers.

1000 were asked to leave brooklyn bethel (actually, this includes the farm and patterson) "voluntarily!
" only 6 replied to the request in the last 3 weeks.
it looks like the "waters" of bethel are drying up, or rather, their revenues are drying up!
What a beautiful blushing bride!

i've done a quick version to watch in windows media player format .... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/media.asp.
select the bbc programme from the drop-down list (it's in two parts).. the first programme starts at about 2 minutes (you get to see our weather report first) and has a good intro by the newsreader.. let me know if you have any problems ... i'll probably put a better quality version up when i have more time.
I think this thread is worth a BTTT.
this is just irritating:.
pay special attention to:by rewriting wiretap laws, csea would allow limited surveillance without a court order when there is an "ongoing attack" on an internet-connected computer or "an immediate threat to a national security interest.".
doesn't that sound lovely?
Don't even get me started!
There's the guy in Georgia that is facing 120 years in prison and a $415,000 fine for sticking RC5 on the Dekalb Technical College's computers. That's .59 cents per second they are saying it cost. What a bunch of morons. A lot of rapists and murderers get off a heckuva lot easier than that! I hope he countersues them to where those idiots are forced to live under a bridge overpass.

Then there's the DMCA. I tell you where to get DeCSS and I could go to jail. Nice.
Oh, and don't forget the CBDTPA(formally the SSSCA)! Here's one this nice bill will do:
may make it impossible to:
-Play your CDs on your desktop computer
-Create legal copies or mp3s of the music that you own to play in your car, or listen to while you exercise
-Create mix-CDs of music you've paid for
http://action.eff.org/action/index.asp?step=2&item=1521
and also:
Legal experts said on Friday that the CBDTPA regulates nearly any program, in source or object code, that runs on a PC or anything else with a microprocessor.
That's not just Windows media players and their brethren, as you might expect. The CBDTPA's sweeping definition of "any hardware or software" includes word processors, spreadsheets, operating systems, compilers, programming languages -- all the way down to humble Unix utilities like "cp" and "cat."

Oh, and don't forget them wanting to clamp down on *everything* copyrighted! Here's an exceprt from the EFF article: "The MPAA proposes that every ADC be controlled by a "cop-chip" that will shut down the device if it is asked to assist in converting copyrighted material. For example, your cellphone could refuse to transmit your voice if you wandered too close to the copyrighted music coming from your stereo. is a frightening peek at Hollywood's vision of the future." Nice

Don't forget about UCITA either! Quote: "the right of a publisher to remotely disable your software if, in their opinion, you are in default of your contract with them -- is the single most controversial provision in the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA)." Nice.

There's lots more but that's enough for now.
When the computer industry goes down the crapper, I won't even know who to blame! I mean the entertainment industry already thinks EACH AND EVERYONE OF US are pirates! Don't believe me? http://www.2600.com/news/display.shtml?id=1113
while he directs it at PVR users, we all skip commercials so don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what he means.
nuff said
of 3 that straightaway spring to mind:.
dg (m) 64 e (f) 27. bm (m) 49 d (f) 18. pl (m) 43 e (f) 18.
2 of the above were also 'arranged' marriages, do you know of any other instances of extremes in jw marriage age ranges?
Pretty much the same thing here, although not to such an extreme as invisible's cases (that I recall). I can't recall many examples other than ppl rushing to get married like there's no tomorrow. A woman I know was dating a guy and told him no and he married another woman two weeks later lol Another one met a woman at the assembly one time and the first phone call after the assembly he proposed to her and they got married a week or two after that. wild huh Mainly this and people marrying the first one that comes along.
Me? well, I was talking to girl that was 18 and I'm in my middle 20s and she informed me that I was "too old" and stopped talking to me. What's with that?
this is on sunday 14 july 2001 (sorry)2002 uk bbc1 .
bbc 1 (01) 22:15 - 22:55 .

There's a link on the top-right of the page that says "Latest programme" (it's hard to notice since it's mispelled haha j/k ) I just need to get a program that can drag down the realvideos and save it to my hard drive.
Edit: took me TWO tries to get top-left changed to top-RIGHT. :(

would someone who was a jw all his life (24 years) know he's not suppose to be giving/receiving oral sex?
is it possible he might not have heard about this rule?
does it not apply if the person is disfellowshipped?
oh uh...I have nothing to add either. I registered several months ago and never posted and thought this would be a good first topic to reply to.
please....carry on.
