Naeb's right, just because they were wrong isn't the basis of a legal action. I wanted to do something similar years ago when I came out of my own cultic abuse cycle. An acquaintance who knew something of the law suggested that about the only way it'd see the light of day was perhaps to approach the Human Rights Commission. But there'd always be the fact that I submitted to the crap that was laid on me to impede any such action...

Wrong! Berfday is today (10th) - party is on the 12th. We were going to have a BBQ, but the weather has been unpredictable and what with all the fires and the fire bans in place, we've opted for cold meats, salad and quiche. To quote the Incredible Bullshitting Man: "Salads are alright for women, but men prefer something more substantial".

Outlaw! My main man! It's not too late to get on a plane to get to my party, it's on Saturday (two days from now, not 3!). You might even get to meet the Incredible Bullshitting Man if you do!
Naeb: Wot, me hairy? But thanks!

Firefighting is actually the ideal career for a Dub, believe it or not. Here in Oz, you do 4 shifts of 12 hours each over 4 days and then have 4 days off; can you see how that situation would be seen as a good thing by the Dubs. Not only that, but the time spent at the Fire Station can be used quite profitably. You can only do so much maintaining and cleaning of equipment and paperwork in a 12 hour period, so many firefighters use the lulls to pursue other things. Many have gotten themselves University degrees by correspondence; studying while waiting for callouts! As for dangerous, only on certain types of jobs, and they aren't that often.

Oooooh! They are detestable! This January 8 Awake is a fulfillment of my prophecy of September 12:
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/post.asp?id=139863&method=reply&site=3My predictive abilities compared to those of the Watchtower, especially about what depths they are capable of plumbing, are infinitely superior, it appears. You'll never go broke betting on the depravity of the WBTS, it would seem!

How the Tower Will Write Up This Tragic Event:
by Stephanus inhere is an extract of the awake!
article on the port arthur massacre some years ago in tasmania.
a nut with an automatic weapon went around slaughtering people willy-nilly in this famous tourist area.

Well, it appears my post on September 12 was prescient; The January 8 Awake was every bit as exploitative of the tragedy as I predicted. These guys suck; their hypocrisy is even more detestable because unlike in Port Arthur, Watchtower headquarters is within earshot of help. Unfortunately, those hearing the cries were Bethelites, longtime advocates of the death and destruction of ordinary people like those killed and injured in the tragedy. What great comfort!

Nothing to stop the local businesses which benefit from the JW conventions from picking up the shortfall, is there? If the Dubs mean so much to them, you can have a "user pays" situation where those restaurants and hotels benfitting from the Dub conventions can pay for the privilege of letting Brooklyn be cheapskates, as opposed to making ALL taxpayers foot the bill.

Just an update for you all!!!
by HyTech inmy wife just called me at work to inform me the same 2 elders that paid us a visit the other night stopped by this morning ( while i wasn't home, of course!).
they said they wanted to talk to her about the way she felt about the organization.
she basically said the same things i did and they told her that there would be a letter of disassociation read at the next meeting.

I agree, Mrs HyTech kicks arse! I'll bet they breathed a sigh of relief that they'd disassociated you, considering you were armed to the teeth with all that scary stuff! How did you get hold of the Flock book, BTW? Ebay? Don't you love the arrogance? Imagine demanding she hand it over! Her answer is priceless! LOL
