Hey LB, just another stitch in your coat of integrity. "Apostalua", I love it. Sounds great, would be great. BTW, on a thread a while ago you mentioned a cong. in Shady Grove. I was through there in August on my motorcyle, stopped at a rafting business on the north end of town. Witnits aside, it seemed like a neat little town.

When is it really over...................???
by inaweout ini am a newcomer to this site, and a curious one at that.. i have been dating a guy who was / is to some degree, a jw.
although he no longer attends meetings, and does not share jw's beliefs, he is active in other ways.
for example, he is active on this site; he spends a good deal of time referencing his past life as a jw; and, he gets very angry (but not towards me) every time he hears or thinks about the jw's.

How long does it take to "get over it?". It's like that old backpacking answer: thirty miles in, thirty miles out.

JW/HLC visit to our hospital
by ScoobySnax inyesterday jehovahs witnesses and the hospital liason committee visited our hospital to donate a blood cell saver machine which had been funded by the local congregations in our county of kent in england.
a buffet lunch was provided, along with 4 talks to a large audience of surgical and medical consultants, anaetheologists, paedatricians, and obstetraticians (sp!
) about the future of blood and the transfusion of such products.

Scooby,
Thanks for the story. I try to see the positive in most situations, so it was nice to see a machine donated that will benefit others. As for the Witnesses being able to "conscientously" use this device as opposed to the restrictions of other just as viable proceedures, I'm sure those in the medical field will just write it off as the rantings of any other religion based on Pyramidology.

Wow!!!....though it's only been a few short months since I "resigned", it seems so strange that we fell for the power structure of their abusive cult. "Disfellowshipped, Disassociated, Public reproof, Private reproof, Privilidges with-held, Privilidges returned", what a bunch of man-made mumbo-jumbo. Educate yourself, and run as fast as you can from that cult, and try not to look back.

By The Watchtower's Fruits, You Will Know Them
by minimus inthe society has for years loved to quote the scripture found in mt.
7:20...."by their fruits you will know them".
christendom and its clergy has been denounced because of their "rotten" fruitage.believers of the watchtower truly believe that the fruitage of jehovah's witnesses is the finest available.

1) False prophecy, most of which was based on Pyramidology.
2) The rampant inability to be accountable.
3) Incongruous, whimsical teachings.
4) Disparity between what is worth teaching and what is actually done; or, in other words, just your average, everyday, run-of-the-mill hypocrisy.

Perry and Nathan Natas
by footprints inperry and nathan natas.
both of you need to enroll in a basic political science class at you local community college.. perry if you think that george has never had a blowjob from women he is not married to you have your head up your ass.. nathan natas if you think that anyone but the us put sadam in power you need to do more with printed material than jack off.
the us and big oil companies are a major reason there is only one democracy in the middle east.

Quickest witness ever
by Jesus Christ ini was eating breakfast this morning when i heard a knock on the door.
i went to answer it and it was an old guy that i used to know.
he didn't recognize me (i have a goatee now) and he handed me the "do you want to know more about the bible?

Just a side thought..... a Witness in our area said that more emphasis is being put on "informal, casual witnessing" instead of door to door. Perhaps explains why, when driving around our little berg, I hardly ever see 'em out and about.

Ozzie,
What a well-done piece on "Sunday". We need a bit of that type reporting here in the States. How can one get a copy of that show? Please respond.

Back in / out of the hospital
by Amazing ina week ago thursday, i realized i was developing an upper respatory problem, likely bhronchitis, or maybe pneumoina.
i have suffered with this and asthma all my life since i was 2 years old.
however, after my heart attack in may, i dreaded this happening, as the reduced oxygen can mess up an already weak heart.
