It makes me sick how he has taken his own family along his sick ride of twisted denial and self pity, rather than man up to what he did. Also very sad for the children who lost both parents because of a selfish act of a psycopath.
......what in the hell is "the flying spaghetti monster"??????.
it's referred to here all the time, but i haven't seen it defined anywhere.. help me.
i'm dying of curiosity.. .
I think I could live with the beliefs and values of the pastafarians.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gospel_of_the_Flying_Spaghetti_Monster
Pastafarians' flimsy moral standards." The FSM's "commandments" (I.R.R.Y.D.'s) address the treatment of people of other faiths, worship of the FSM, sexual conduct, and nutrition. The morals and standards expressed by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the deity of Pastafarians, supposedly said that the simple language of the Eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts" makes them easy to understand for anyone while still maintaining an accurate portrayal of the beliefs and values he'd like his followers to keep in mind.

in your own opinion: do the governing board members believe their own prophecies, stories, and articles?
.
do you think they are true believers in the core religion or fakers simply behaving as profiteers?.
Yes, as equally as Jim Jones and David Koresh believed they were god's prophets.
im working on my exit strategy out of the watchtower org.
ive set my mind to be out by the end of 2010 or mid 2011. .
id like to avoid getting df and disassociating my self is also an undesirable option.
As you fade, go ahead and grow a beard, go out in service with it & give a talk in the school with it. It bugs the crap out of the elders because they have no biblical grounds for the ban. Oh they will try and guilt you, but really they have no grounds and they know it.
It also gets other publishers asking questions. I had so many pubs tell me the beard looked good on me & did not understand the ban.
After an experience like that, once you stop attending meetings, the elders are glad to see you gone and don't want you back pushing the envelope on their non-bible based rules and regulation.
Worked for me.

JWoods, Yes. The home page indicates that it is from family & friends. Looks to be home grown web-site.

another gem from the same edition - article to be studied december 28 - january 3 (which most will miss lol coz of summer vacation) entitled "what do your prayers say about you?
" page 6 para 19 reads:.
19 when we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of god.
Really?
No, really WTF?
So this is such a big issue that the the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witness finds the need to put this in print?
And how many brothers & sisters have been "stumbled" right out of the organization over the United Nations scandal?
The Governing body prefers to let those leave and continue to leave then to ever accept any responsibility for their actions.
Hypocrites!
when i first got on this site, i would bristle at the thought that i ever belonged to a cult.. do you believe that witnesses are truly "cultists"?.
SOM;
Next time your talking with God, would you ask him why the other 95% of humans that he talks to personally he tells them to kill someone?
mayan elders, that is.... .
2012 isn't the end of the world, mayans insistby mark stevenson, associated press writer mark stevenson, associated press writersun oct 11, 3:58 am et end .byline mexico city apolinario chile pixtun is tired of being bombarded with frantic questions about the mayan calendar supposedly "running out" on dec. 21, 2012. after all, it's not the end of the world.. or is it?.
definitely not, the mayan indian elder insists.
If Freddie was still alive, he probably would be all over the 2012 date. A good way to get new recruits. It worked great in 1975.
happified is a real watchtower word(tm), by the way!.
if you want to give the wts credit for anything, then at least give them credit for their remarkably simple solution to every ill suffered by mankind.. it is a "one size fits all" solution and might be part of the appeal the wts has attracting people who have a hard time with reason and common sense.. they won't specifically tell you what that solution is, though.
if they did, they would even get less converts than they get now, and currently they ain't gettin' many.
JWs are the most happifiedest people in the world, you know.
