an inactive friend just spoke to some elders who, not from the platform but one-on-one, said they believe the coming war with iraq will cause world war iii and armageddon.
has anyone else heard this?
it may be that some are using this as a tactic to scare inactives back into the watchtower society along with their needed donations, especially since the pedophile and wts-u.n. scandals.

previously, we considered what might go on at a judicial meeting.now, let's see what the reinstatement process entails.
let's use the example of fornication.
you have been disfellowshipped for this sin and now you want to seek reinstatement.
I never imagined that the reinstatement process worked that way. were you ever an elder minimus ? why does the person need to wait 1 full year? what happens after reinstatement? is the person eligible to participate in meetings, field service, pioneering, TM school?
Wanting to know Class

OF COURSE not all JWs are pedophiles or even pedophile protectors. I have family in the org too. What I posted was out of raw emotion and I had to vent, k? Watching the show affected me very deeply, more than I anticipated. So Im not made of stone. Do I always have to be rational in my thoughts and feelings? Am I allowed to vent a little here and there when I really need to? I think I should.
i had a terrifying experience this morning and i'm writing about it as a lesson on how we perceive things.
this type of thing has happened to me several times in my life, but since it just happened again this morning, and ghosts seem to be a topic of interest on this board, i thought i'd share it.. i was staying at a friend's house while she was away.
this place is an old apartment complex built in the 1920's in san francisco.
Thanks for sharing that rem. I occassionally had experienced sleep paralysis, and it is quite frightening when you dont know what is going on. Of course while I was a JW I experienced it more often and was convinced that it was a demon attack. Now I hardly experience it.

OHHHHHHH MAN!! MY GOD!!
I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest. I haven't even finished listening to the rest of the show Im crying my eyes out I FEEL PHYSICALLY SICK just by listening to the show. Words cannot even express what I'm feeling right now. I can't even BEGIN to imagine what the VICTIMS of these SICK, DERANGED child rapists feel like. I have NEVER gone thru something like that, I DONT EVEN personally KNOW anyone who has been a VICTIM but it's just something so so sick and so so sad. I will NEVER be able to even LOOK at another goddamed JEHOVAH'S WITNESS AGAIN!!!!
TO ALL YOU PEDOPHILE LOVING WATCHTOWER SELLING HYPOCRITICAL AND POOR EXCUSES FOR HUMAN BEINGS OUT THERE OTHERWISE KNOWN AS JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES: YOU ARE ALL GOING TO BE SEVERLY PUNISHED BY GOD HIMSELF FOR YOUR ACTIONS, FOR YOUR WILLFULL BLINDNESS AND FOR YOUR LYING, YOU WILL ALL BURN IN HELL!!!!!
i just wanted to let you know that i'm having my only son tomorrow at 4:00 pm by cesarean section.
i'll be away for a while and when i come back i don't know how much time i'll have but i wanted you all to know.
i'll post the details when i get home monday or tuesday..
CONGRATULATIONS
ok i know i haven't been around here much lately but i have been rather busy, kinda sorta.
well i have officially graduated from the florida college of natural health and have applied for my license to become an esthetician!!!!
i'm soo excited.
Congratulations!!!!
i remember baking in the hot sun, with the outdoor district conventions.
the only thing i liked about them was lunch time.
back in the day, then i could grab the little coupons, ten to a page, each worth 10 cents.
I remember making the hoagies....thousands of them
OH GOD dont remind me.....getting up at 2 am, drive two hours to make those AWFUL TASTELESS DISGUSTING hoagies!!!!
I remember those stupid flash bulbs too, seemed like people did it on purpose...sort of a non-violent protest
I LOVED Yankee Stadium assemblies.....I HATED Nassau Coliseum. But no matter where it was held it was all BORING.
can someone give their thoughts on the un attacking religion and the jw teaching, revelation harlot.
i have a newspaper article with the headline "un quietly wages war on religion" i talked with some reps from the un in my country and they were talking about religion and how it had to go etc.
it is a un mandate apparently, just has to be implemented.
do not read WT, I am not a JW, I only know what they preach, and have a very good understanding of the bible (if I blow my own horn
Well then you are a JW if you're blowing your own horn.
do the demons inside you still make you remember what you have been taught for so many years by the watchtower?.
and what if it all happens according to the plan of the governing body... the united nations decides to wage war on religion ; the witnessess carry on doing what they do best.
then the cry 'peace and security'... but uh-uh ..... here they are .....raising their ugly heads above the dock.... jehovahs witnessess .... now with a message more vigerous than ever .... 'you see !
NOT in the least bit iron. As much as I hate the UN, what's published on that website almost sounds like a good idea.
Please note that I said ALMOST. but not quite.
