  Over 160,000 Simply Left The "Truth" Last Year

  by minimus in

  that was the comment that a former elder made at the local meeting today in his comment.

  evidently, he and his wife heard a bethel speaker's comment during his talk say that (i believe the figure was) 167,000 people did not get disfellowshipped but simply left.

  the ex-elder made it a point to say that the elders should be watching to help out the flock before they up and leave.

  I think the title of this thread is wrong. There is nothing simple about leaving the "Truth."

  jw's & Christmas cookies

  by carla in

  due to my jw eating most of the christmas cookies and having to remake many, many batches, people ask me how it's ok for a jw to eat christmas cookies considering how they feel about christmas.

  i don't know how to answer other than , 'i guess they pick and choose what's ok'.

  how do they justify eating christmas cookies?

  Feeling a little silly this morning, I can picture a jc where they are sternly asking, 'and brother joe, just how many cookies did you eat? Did you enjoy them? were they offered to you or did you take them off the plate yourself?'

  Were you wearing thong panties when you ate them?

  i was watching law and order last night at 10pm when the door bell rung.

  i was in my red long underwear and jumped up to put on my jeans went down stairs to answer the door, i always turn on the light and look thought the peeper to make sure charlie manson is not knocking, no manson but two of my local elders from the hall.

  i have not had any one from the hall take a run at me for at least a couple of years.

  they then said that they would have to take the display of the flags and Darwin sticker as evidence that I did not believe in hovah any more

  The after 10:00 PM visit didn't shock me as much as the presumptuousness that they could sieze your property as evidence!

  I would have said "You do and you will get an 11:00 PM visit from the cops to explain why you stole my property!"

  roast is baking, the house smells great.

  we have our little tree and a fire in the fireplace.

  the dog is wearing sleighbells, and there's a wreath on the door.

  I HATE THIS DEATH CULT!!!!

  by avishai in

  2. friends

  right now my cousin, who has'nt even been a dub for years is likely dying because of the blood issue.

  she signed no blood stuff likely due to her parents and a likely hlc member, jim rife.

  she signed it apparently in a drugged or severely stressed state right before they put her into an incuced coma.

  Damn that bloody cult and their bloodguilty leaders to hell! If there is an afterlife, I'm sure Knorr, Franz, Rutherford, and Hitler are on the same chain gang shoveling coal up Russell's burning ass!

  The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. Henry David Thoreau

  by jst2laws in

  desperation.

  the evidence mounted that your faith which you mistakenly built upon men, your entire spirituality, your life, was standing precariously high upon the wobbling foundation of an artfully contrived fraud.

  remember the quiet desperation?
