what is the source of this photo?.
was this printed in a wts's publication?.
although i know this photo well, i'd like to have persuasiveness when i explain to other people.. .
I read in Barbara's Story on her site that she had found a picture of Rutherford in a swimsuit. He was romping on a large patio overlooking the ocean, others were laying in chaise lounges. The picture she said showed a closeup of Rutherfords face and he had his tongue sticking out as far as he could and he looked inebriated.
Her stories are amazing. I couldn't stop reading until I was finished.

we're happy to announce that now all 5,000 pages of court records from the nine child sexual abuse lawsuits involving sixteen victims, settled by watchtower in february 2007, are available for free download from our website, www.watchtowerdocuments.com.
there are a total of twelve files, besides a file containing a commentary explaining the lawsuits, and each file can be downloaded separately.
due to the fact that many people purchased the cd, "secrets of pedophilia in an american religion," thus, reimbursing us for the expense to buy, compile and publish the court documents, there is now no reason to sell the material anymore.
One of the witnesses that are on my facebook page has this posted in her "Likes" on her info page.

The video says that this is the Bible Verse/Quote for the video:
"Those who love their children care enough to discipline them."
For some reason I just don't see that in the song ( You raise me up) played in that video. I see love and caring and compassion..not discipline.
I wonder why a active witness would post a link to that site and post the comment about "Discipline you children " as one of her likes? (The WTBTS would not take kindly to her promoting a non-witness religious site)...
Barbara's thread reminded me of seeing this on my witness friends page.. I was reminded of the mindset of a witness . The first thing they think of when hearing such a beautiful song is "If you love your children you will discipline them." They seem to thrive on that word discipline (And action). I read a lot of stories here where the witnesses carry their "Discipline" a little too far.
If someone will post the video so it can be accessed with a click I would appreciate it.
Thanks, Snoozy
me and my hubby went to town today to do a little shopping.
we stopped at a little place we like for lunch.

So you're still a witness then?
You might want to check your tires after the next meeting you all attend together...
Just saying...
If you just said that for fun, (Patting you on the back) Good one!!!
Snoozy..
i'm from the south los angeles area and i was wondring who were the '''star'' elders, ministerial servants, pioneers, in your hometown or area?
they could be good or bad too..
aqua, I also have nothing nice to say about the KH "Elders/Servants" that my hubby attended in his last days either. How they can treat a terminally ill person the way they did and think there is any chance in Hell they will make it into their so called New World is beyond me.
They better say a lot of prayers for forgiveness if that will help their butt kissing souls..
Snoozy
ps, the list I made were from when I first went to the KH in the 1960's. ( All good) Things were a lot different then. When hubby went (alone) it was in the 2000's.(All Bad)
They were :
Ken Raybine
Tom Quinn
North county (St louis) area..

don't get me wrong, this isn't a call for help or anything like that.
i'm not about to do anything stupid, just feeling a little down and exhausted tonight.
i feel defeated, even though i don't feel as if i'm battling anything.

i keep hearing this song on the radio, top 40's type of station.
i think it is a song from a new movie soundtrack, either "the dilemma" or "just go with it" or "no strings attached.
" i heard it when i was in the other room when the tv was on, and it was one of those movie trailers i think....let's hope i am not going batty here.. the song is done by an african american singer i believe, and it has that 70's funk, stevie wonder type of sound/vibe to it.
My daughter showed me something she can do with her new phone..she just holds it up to the radio/TV and lets it hear the song and it does a search and tells you the songs name and who sings it..It's amazing!

My 52 year old daughter is having severe empty nest syndrome right now. Her one boy entered college last year and her daughter entered this year. her husband travels a lot so she is left alone. She used to be quite active as they have a Limo company and a tanning salon on the side besides his regular job. She had to quit because of her illness.
She is the one that has Lyme disease and it has torn her emotions up. She finally is seeing a therapist but only every other week..I wish it were more often. She has a horse and loves to ride and groom him but he is in a stable that is almost an hour away and the weather hads been too bad.. The lyme disease stops her from doing a lot of things she would like. She is finally considering taking antibiotics by injections as she has been on orals for over a year and her progression has been slow although she had become to me at least 60 percent better.
I can understand if you have been Ill and how it can play on your well being and even affect the way you think. Give the meds some time to work and see how you feel then. And maybe a sunny day or two..
We all have days where everything bores us, at least I have, but it always changes a day or two later. If it continues more than a week or two then I would seek some help. No one should have to go through llife feeling that way.
We here have 10 inches of snow on the ground and are expecting snow tomorrow, the next day, the day after and so on. To excape the boredom I may go clean my car off ..just for the fun of it..or possibly the bathtub..
Maybe you should take in one of those homeless people, seeing their eyes light up at all the food you probably have and the soft bed and covers and heat/warmth and TV and computer..he will probably be so happy he will cry.
Snoozy..who lives alone and talks to herself a lot...
as a child i had many cats and delighted in putting my doll clothes on them and rocking them in the rocking chair..i would even make a tent on my mom's bed and put them in it like they were in a cave..i had a great imigination... they would tolerate it for a while and then decide the fun was over..picky cats.... so if you have animals do you dress them up now?
or did you or your kids dress them up?
they looked so cute!.
