did being a witness hurt, hamper, or help your dreams?
did you want to be a dancer?
an actor?
I often said that my problem is I am still young enough to have dreams....but old enough to know better.
However I am stll trying to accomplish mine...seems as though I dont learn.
Of coarse I am single and dont have to worry about hurting the one I care about....If you feel that strongly about her then..I say she is one lucky lady.

here is a song to down load off of kazaa, new orleans ladies, by louisiana leroux
jehovah's witnesses proclaim the good news of the kingdom under the power of god's holy spirit.
jesus commanded his followers to preach in the most distant parts of the earth and promised them that the spirit of god would guide them in this life-saving work (acts 1:8).. without the spirit of god, one cannot continue preaching about jesus and god's kingdom (matthew 24:14).
one surely will not have god's spirit if one preaches a negative message (against jehovah's servants) from door to door.
Comforter - Can you please learn how to use the quote button...Actually it doesn't matter because you really haven't backed up any of your arguments with any fact. The only arguments that you have pursued have been grammer ones. Do us all a favor and back yourself up with something substantial. Plus the only thing you are doing is managing to prove how ignorant you are about your own religion. Maybe you should think for yourself, give YOR own opinions not the WTTS and then, only then we would have a smidgen of respect for the things that you post.
BTW - my original quote that you soo took out of context and started this flame thread with, was indeed a joke....so get over yourself already.

PS - I noticed that you never responded to me after the accusation that we dont put our real names or pictures up. I proved you wrong and didn't even get an acknowledgement. (If I was wrong I would freely admit it...however you on the other hand..I guess we shall see the type of person you are and whether you will own up to that or not)
without going into too much of my personal life here cos i really do have great sex!!!!!
basically, being brought up to believe that masturbation was wrong i think has affected my adult sex life!
hard to type this without being physically sick but whenever i masturbated wen i was young,i always felt if i didnt cum,i hadnt sinned as much!
Lineguy - yes I have and it is even better than the physical act dare I say.
Also FYI - I ahve known guys who could as well.......tantric baby...heehee

we all know how the wts works and how they have built up a clever lebelling system which they can use to prevent having to address the real issues.
one word and someone's arguments vanish into dust and all credibility is shot:.
"apostate".
Heh...I didnt know we had an "official" name for them. Hmmmmm. Just kidding! LOL
I don't believe that calling names leads to anything constructive...and I do like the "constructive" debates you allow us to have.
Thanks Simon.... will take you advice

And last, most people here (many df or da ones) do not use their real name or show their real picture. But you expect jws to do this. Now who is hypocritical?
I post my real name...and also my homepage that has pictures of me. You are the one who has even your email restricted.
IMHO you have skirted around all the completely legitimate issues that many have posted. Where are all your answers. You asked me a question and I answered it back w/o any skirting. I was raised as a JW, my parents and sister still are so believe me I have all the resources at my finger tips If I really wanted to embarass you. I just choose to go the high route and not debate with someone who really isn't interested in listening to anybody else and merely wants to preach(yes...that is what you are trying to do...we are not fools...do not treat us like one).

i follow the threads on legal questions with interest because somewhere inside me is this voice yelling at me to get back at those bastards that lied to me and my family and all the other good people i have come to know here and abroad.
i too carry a lot of anger with me from my experience as a witness.
however, another poster raised the question "what is your ultimate goal?
I want...no better make it...NEED...Closure.
When that will come I have no idea...its really hard to achieve closure when the rest of your family is happily involved.

of course, as we knew would happen, the supreme court voted in favor of the dubs.
just off fox news live.
they can go door to door without getting a permit.
we have the freedom not to listen to them.
we also have the freedom to close our door, to tell them to leave, to ask them not to come back..etc
I can think of alot more but I think that sums it up for the most part!
Spice
thank you to all who responded with their comments and suggestions.. we need the assistance of individuals who were raised as jehovah's witnesses.
in gathering some data.
to participate in this activity you need to have personal.
I was raised in it....
you can count on me
I will email you when I am off work.

There are more efficient methods.
Mustang - I was really only half joking but please email me with some of your ideas. Maybe we could collaborate.
