I mean, really. Even IF the representatives from, say, Texas, Loisiana, and New Mexico had the best interest of Texans, Loisianans, and New Mexicans in mind when passing laws (instead of, say, their own personal agenda), what good does that do for Alaska?
The problem is that the country is too big for a small group of people sitting on the east coast to make laws that will fairly manage all of it. The agricultural states have VERY different concerns and needs than the industrial states, to show one very obvious conflict.

Well, this is certainly borne out if you look at the final electoral results map of the last election. 'Ag' states voted primarily Bush, urban/industrial states voted primarily Gore.

I WAS a hopeful supporter of Bush, but now he and his admin are starting to give me a headache re: energy and environment policies especially. Big Oil tail wags the dog.

There were those who flocked to Nader too: but he sold out as well.

Everybody has a price it seems.

Ahhhh....Thank goodness....I was beginning to think my posts were being abducted by the Grays or Lucifer! Anyways, I try to shoot straight from the hip as it were, and tell it as passionately and sincerely as I can....I can understand the frustration with some, though, who channel their negative energies with the WTS toward all who still deal with this organization. \

BELIEVE ME, I left here too back when many here were on H20, had a timeout to clear some issues, and have come back to share my experiences and thoughts here again. I much thought similar to you now!

Thx for responding.

Violet? Hello? Fourth Time!

As long as "valuable feedback" that you consider is hard evidence and not necessarily stuff that tickles your ears...like at Beans' WTS Quotes site...and as long as YOU VALUE that feedback for the truth that it is.

Regards.

Well, fred, mavman, friday as far as I'm concerned are probably ex-JWs too, or at least afflicted with the need to post contrarian opinions just to ruffle a few feathers. Nothing like the anonymity of a screen name and the Internet to implement this madness.

Hey Violet, am I invisible? You had 2 chances to see my posts yet fluff right by them while making generalized negative comments toward those you label "apostates." My points were honest, from the heart, opinions...and you said you wanted to hear Opinion?

Was I bitter and self-absorbed, Violet, when I said:

An organization is as only as good as the MEN in it.
That being said, your baptism will signify that you understand that you will be associated with "Jehovah's Spirit-Directed Organization", and are expected to abide by such with your whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. When you say "Yes" to that, you've signed the dotted line, so to speak.
Interesting, you did mention becoming "stronger" and "wiser"; this is true, certainly in the context of any suffering and tribulation, etc. In taking your own spiritual journey, on this earth, never forget that.
Personally, my experience IN the JWs has made me stronger and (I hope) wiser as to my spiritual life-course. One aspect has been the struggle between loyalty to God, and loyalty to one's religion.
If you ever come to this Crisis of Conscience, I'm sure Ray Franz could help. In my mind, he is the epitome of one REALLY searching for truth, and struggles not to compromise, while not trashing what journey he already took as a Governing Body member for nine years.
Like you said, it made him too "stronger" and "wiser".

Did you even hear out what I had to say?

basically we're all open minded right?

so lets put aside our negative comments and throw a cyber-space send off for violet's up coming baptism into dubdom.

she said she's planning on getting baptised soon and clearly our advice and negative thoughts are hurting her feelings.

Statement That All should Read!

jehovah was peace before he made "man", jehovah was peace after he made "man", and jehovah still is peace, so why do we continue to fight?

people who engage in violence/war are foolish, and they knoweth nothing, cause if they knoweth anything they would'nt fight.

when people go to war, they is not killing their enemies, they are only killing more & more of god's children, for the simply fact that we all is god's children...millions fight over lands, but as i mention before this life is not suppose what it's suppose to be, visions of the earthly paradise that was plan from the beginning was jehovah plan, in reality, all of mankind is suppose to enjoy each other visits, from one part of the earth, to other.. why you be so ignorant of the visions of the armageddon messiah?

2K you said:

Visions of the Earthly paradise that Was plan from the beginning was Jehovah Plan, In reality, All of mankind is Suppose to Enjoy each other Visits, From One part of the earth, to other.. Why you be So ignorant of The Visions of the armageddon Messiah

Well, if your Watchtower Vision (tm) includes an Idyllic New England American Paradise (tm) with the Celebration and REJOICING over the destruction of innocent babies along with those that made Jesus their Savior, etc., as they look back and see the earth swallowing up Will Smith and the destruction of the WTC and NYC buildings as Part of Jehovah's Plan of Har-Magedon (tm), you have a lot to learn, son.

Your version of "Jehovah God" is a Hitman In The Sky, and agape love takes the back seat.
