LB,
If you ever head your truck west a few miles I'll print you out one personally.
Tatiana,
I guess I didn't think about somebody's mother looking at this. Maybe I should crop it up a bit.
Dutchie,
Since I don't know any gray people who are willing to pose for me naked I had to do this as an illustration. No, it's not a photograph. How many gray bald naked women do you know? Personally I can only think of three of them and they all live on the East coast.
I need another drink
I'm in a real pissed off mood tonight and I just wanted to take a jab at the morons in Brooklyn.

sharon like her sister janet was also raised a jw.
she left the religion three years ago just about the same time as robert and janet.
her husband is not a jw but did attend the occasional meeting.
I am bringing this up for those who may not have seen it. I will be printing the messages out tomorrow night and sending them to Sharon. For those who have not posted to her please do. She needs to know there are a lot of people who understand how she feels.
Thanks,
Dave
i reeceived an email today that said:.
we visited my parents in fl last weekend, and though they're still .
technically witnesses, they consider themselves double agents.
Randy,
I do not know if this is true or not but it wouldn't surprise me. When I was asked to go back to Bethel to do some consulting for the graphics department I saw a lot of wasted equipment not being used. One was a Hell drum scanner that at the time cost a million dollars. It was sitting under a large plastic sheet and not in use. When I asked why it was covered and not being used they told me that they did not have a brother at Bethel who was qualified to operate it.
One of the problems that I pointed out to the elder who was in charge of the entire publications department was that most of the people in charge of the graphics, art and photography departments didn't have a clue what they were doing. It was explained to me that the first and most important qualification for someone coming back to Bethel to work was their spiritual qualifications. This left little room for people who could have the expertise to run any department or complicated piece of equipment efficiently. Anyone who had advanced to the level of top management in a company that could do the equal job at Bethel wouldn't be interested in taking the 95% pay cut.
Basically as I saw it, they had a lot of spiritually strong total fuck ups running the key departments at Bethel. They didn't like my synopses of what I had seen and my suggestions to fix it did not get put into use. Using an outside printer might keep the cost of scrap and out of register printing at a minimum. The watchtower is the largest, if not, one of the largest users of paper in the USA. When you buys millions of dollars worth of paper a month to run your publishing company even a small percentage of waste due to mistakes made by unqualified people can run into millions of dollars
BTW. I have been working on some of the graphics for your site and should have a 3D illustration for you to look at within a day or so.

it would have taken more much more time to tell it all.
he told us the meeting would began as soon as the other brothers arrived.
danni: i will give you two.
<<<seven, what have you got that the rest of us don't, that these people love you so much!!!! I'm jealous!!!!>>>
It's simple. I eat the green M&M's

-This damn thread's never going to die! Ya ya, I know,...........so quit posting on it stupid!
got a call late this afternoon: "your daughter was in a car accident along with four other girls.
you need to come to the emergency room.".
daughter not there yet.
Leave it to Alan to try and simplify his life by marring a woman who has the same name as his daughter. Makes yelling out "hey Julie get me a beer" a lot more efficient.
Thanks for the call woman. You know I love you guys, (well, except for Brian).
Cars and kids........what'ta ya gonn'a do?
Big hug

I stated weeks ago that this was a hoax. I have not received any information to change that view. The person claiming to be Mark emailed me several times and in response I emailed back saying all I needed was to know what city he said this all happened in so I could call the department and check to see if there was an officer named Danni working for them.
After repeated emails the name of the city was never given. All I got was repeated excuses why the name could not be given. After a while the strong smell of coffee became quite apparent and I got a good whiff of it.
My concern was for this board and it's members more than it was for a slight chance of it being true and hurting an alleged police officers reputation. That's about it.
One certain poster on this forum seems to enjoy stroking his insecurities by continually pointing out that I had been fooled for a while by this issue. I have given my apologies and stated what I thought more than once. I have also told this poster that he and he alone is a member of this board that I will never respond to again. I do not need to play his games or be used as a tool to stroke his low self esteem and lack of intelligence. Some people cannot stand it when others may know something they don't. They have to try and point out mistakes by others as a way to make themselves look superior and gain some attention. It is a childish game and I will not play it. This person knows exactly who he is and if he responds to this post I will not comment back.
I hope this helps.
Dave

Do you believe in God?
Do you believe the Bible provides explicit instructions for how to spend your life on Earth? Will you follow the edicts of men who interpret those instructions, even as their interpretations change over time and conflict with basic human values?
If commanded, will you remain silent about your doubts?
Can you accept, without question, any proclamation, any theological theory decreed by your church, and withhold your friendship and loyalty from members who don't show total allegiance? If demanded, will you reject, rebuff and shun all contact with your mother or father, your son or daughter, your best friend in life, no matter how sick or distressed that loved one may be?
Welcome to the world of Robert Bryant, a world in which a perceived mental illness and his known religious conflicts came crashing together to produce a terrible crime against humanity. Welcome to the world of Jehovah's Witnesses, a religion that many consider a cult.
But before you judge the members of Jehovah's Witnesses, remember that judgment is the weapon this religion uses to control the minds and souls of its followers. Before you judge Robert Bryant, remember that his mind and his soul were shaped, then cast aside by the religion that dominated his life. His unthinkable response was to leave this world, and take his family with him.
Perhaps, as spoken this week by his surviving sister-in-law, Robert Bryant's purpose for being on this earth was to deliver the message that comes from this tragedy. That message, said Sharon Roe, is that you have no right to judge men in the way that the Jehovah's Witnesses judged Robert Bryant, in the way that this religion and others have judged and damaged so many people throughout history. She wants to believe that something of value and consequence can come from this act that stunned our community, our state, our nation.
I want to believe that, too.
I know that our Constitution gives the Jehovah's Witnesses, and others, the right to judge men in any way that they choose, and that our forefathers died to protect that right. But we have another important right, that of free speech.
We have the right to speak out when a religion produces astonishing levels of psychological abuse. We have the right to say that it's wrong, dead wrong, and to ask for a change.
I join Sharon Roe in exercising that right.
