in my last meeting to be re-instated they said for next time figure out which person from the bible i'm most like.
and be ready to tell them what i pray about and how i feel about what i did to jehovah.
being honest , speaking from the heart about jesus forgiving peter and having a hard time answering the prayer question didn't work getting hysterical and nervous-breakdownish at the end didn't help, nor did running out of the hall after saying i could never do any better.
Christiandom opens up their doors to help people who suffer from alcolholism by hosting AA meetings free of charge.
JW's give you the boot from their ever so clean holy temple to suffer alone without support.
Wasn't there someone in Jesus day who acted that way too?
Best of luck to you Meadow.
i'm not sure how long it's been up, but jwfacts has written his own article discussing the sparlock debacle - and it's a great piece of work.. here is the link.... http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/blog/sparlock.php.
in the article he uses a fantastic quote from a 1994 awake!
magazine which reads as follows.... .
After watching the Sparlock video, I think the question for JWs at this point is, should they allow their children to watch the Disney Jr channel?
After all it's tag line is; 'Where the MAGIC begins' http://disney.go.com/disneyjunior
Mickey and Minney are trying to get our children to worship Satan at such a young age. Also note how they push pagan birthdays on that site.
The only imagination that the WT wants your children to engage in, is the imagining god killing 99.9% of the world population.
it is brought to my attention that some non jw's deliberately accept jw literature just to throw it in the bin.. their intentions are perceived as positive meaning these non jw's throwing their magazines away is a good thing.. what is your view on the matter?.
should they accept or not accept their literature, and why?.
is accepting literature benefiting or damaging the cult, and why?.
They are good for lining bird cages... and its free! win-win
i'm wondering how they feel about their likeness being spammed all over the internet right now?
i'll bet they didn't sign up for this kind of attention.. it reminds me of an article wired magazine did on youtube a couple years ago about people that had their careers or social life ruined by a viral youtube video.. anyway, it would be interesting to find out who these guys are and what may or may not end up happening with them over this..
Maybe Daniel Tosh will give them a web redemption.
as some of you have noticed the asl video warning against masturbation (another guilt trip) is creating waves.
this is not small fry.
1. it is humorous - most topics (like other policies) are serious/depressing (blood, shunning, pedos).
Isn't the 'finger sign' as called by KS really a universal language?
I can go anywhere in the world walk up to any adult, give them the 'finger sign' and they will know exactly what I am saying. I don't need to know ASL, they don't need to know ASL.
What other hand sign is so universally understood?
This has nothing to do with ASL and everything to do with the Watchtower organization.
well i figured i should give you all an update.
they will be dfing me soon for apostasy.
it is not a huge surprise and i am not afraid nor "shaking in my boots", however i will admit it is stressful right now.
It will be a great day when DF for apostasy becomes greater than DF for fornication. I agree with OLNS on huminizing the issue as much as possible so outsiders can clearly see the damage WT corp can do to families.
an experience told at the october 2, 2010 annual meeting.. sarah: she was raised in the truth by her mom in california, but a turning point was when she was 11. she had planned on just swimming and taking it easy that summer, but her mother suggested that she should read one of the older publications, and she chose babylon the great has fallen.
after working through some heavy-duty prophecies, she recalled thinking, this really is the truth!
no one could make this up.
That is the problem with the WT today. They don't have someone like freddy that is capable of making this stuff up like he could.

murrieta - a 40-year-old mother of two was killed in her murrieta home monday morning, authorities said.
coroner's officials identified the woman as isabelle jarka.
How far will a JW elder go to protect the image that is displayed at the Kingdom hall? $, boating, beer, good times, nice guy... Often the spouse and family are the only ones who know the true person behind closed doors.
The WT makes it so hard to end a bad marriage, I think for some, it is easier to just kill their spouse. They get rid of their problem while protecting their image.
Glad you got away Lois.
this weekend was the convention for the southern san francisco bay area.
it was held at the santa clara convention center in the silicon valley http://www.santaclara.org/conventioncenter/ which is an improvement over the old s.f.
cow palace which is still used..just not as much.
Classic good ol' boy network.
happy labor day all!.
tell us what your plans are.
i am heading to the cu/csu game tomorrow (go cu) wish you were with us quendi.
It will be raining like hell in the midwest USA, thank god we need it. Instead of door to door will do some telephone witnessing instead, practice my next public talk. Oh and have some of the friends over to study the watchtower lesson for Sunday and play Jenga.
Oh that was a hell of a flash-back.
Spending time with grand-twins and BBQ if the rain lets up.
