I can't believe someone else said "That's All Right Mama"!!! My favorite---well---along with "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You", and his version of "Old Shep" that was on his first album.

elvis is the king baby!
it is hard to believe that 25 years have passed since elvis' death.
most his songs are "dated" imho, however, his "style" truly lives on.

yesterday morning i emailed o'reilly and hannity/colmes with the press release re: cnn program.. today, i sent this:.
when will you interview the watchtower society and start helping those kids too?
you have a lot of media power bill.
"This must be CONFRONTED, not just reported. We cannot allow the WTBTS to keep running from the CONFRONTATIONS."
Hmmmmm...............I LIKE the way you said that. I'll get on it tomorrow, it's almost 6 AM here (YIKES---I DID IT AGAIN!!!!) but this WILL be on my "agenda" (giggle) for actually, toDAY!!!! (sigh)
Hugs,
Annie................who wants to GET'EM GOOD!!!!
my disfellowshipping
as with anyone associated with jehovahs witnesses the worst possible news anyone can have is being df.
it means a loss of everyone and everything you have known all your life.
Well, it certainly seems as if our "resident David" has extended a mighty blow to the "WTS Goliath"!!!!
What courage it must have taken to stand and face all the familiar, loving "Brothers", and tell it like it IS! (courtesy of Aaron Neville)
All of Bill's "proceedings and actions" were appropriate and dignified.......
UNTIL ...... the final departure revving up the truck......
YAY!!!!! (Ya GOTTA love him!!!)
THE BIGGEST HUGS EVER.......................to you, Sheila, and the kids~
Annie
PS-----Bill..I hadn't looked at the pictures yet when I sent the private email about the COWARDS!!!
i'm curious to know if anyone has noticed different behavior from their dub family and friends since the aug. km about disfellowshipped ones.
i've noticed that my mother is no longer emailing me, nor is she responding to my emails.
i really wish that she would just come out directly and state that she will no longer talk to me instead of just ignoring everything, thinking i will go away.
LovesDubs said: "it is not a coincidence that this falls in line with all the adverse publicity lately. They never do ANYTHING by chance. "
Sadly it's all about making the PUBLISHING COMPANY look good and weaseling around their "uncomplimentary publicity" to make themselves "APPEAR" to be upright Christians.
Too bad that so many unsuspecting sheep are caught in the brambles of deception.....

watchtower pukes: .
i find it humerous that you, who have successfully put out "information" to folks for 123 years that after those 123 years, other folks are putting out "information" about you.
in your own words.
"You have sowed hate and lies and hurt and injustice and more lies and guilt for decades and you will face the results of your "fine works" that you frequently glorify yourselves with, while ignoring what you've REALLY sowed. In short, you will reap your own whirlwind. And it is coming like a tornado, my ex-"Brothers".
And this "tornado" (We aren't in Kansas any more, Toto) will continue to expose ALL the hate and lies and hurt and injustice---and MORE LIES and guilt...to the far corners of the earth for ALL to see........
THE TOWER IS FALLING;
and you deserve the PAIN you have deliberately caused----100 fold!
i'm in california and just tuned in to cnn @ 8:00 and there was 1/2 hour of connie chung about kidnapped kids, but nothing about bill bowen, the two girls, or the wts.
anyone know what happened?

What a mess!
Usually, Chung and King are repeated (AFAIK) intact each night from 11PM-1AM, but things are different tonight :o(
Had to wrestle the remote away from Hubby who's watching the Red Sox vs Seattle on ESPN.......and found that CNN was indeed different! (sigh)
GO SOX??????

BLEEP said; "Some people seem to have way to much free time."
That's for sure!
Haven't you got a lesson to prepare or a presentation to rehearse?
GOTTA get that "ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE" (tm) out to the Peeps (gag)
the watchtower society, in its prime teaching publication the watchtower magazine, loves to discuss jehovah's "undeserved kindness.
" comparing their bible, the new world translation , with the king james version, we see an interesting difference at romans 11:6:
nwt: "now if it is by undeserved kindness, it is no longer due to works; otherwise, the undeserved kindness no longer proves to be undeserved kindness.
Sorry..maybe someday I'll get the "art of editing" down better......I still had a dangling sentence to complete---but I guess my message got through despite the messups in the letter content....
The "complacent" and "yawning ones" need to PAY ATTENTION to FACTS!!
Annie............who is ANYTHING but a COWARD for realizing what the WTS has done........and able to ADMIT IT!!!

"You're simply resentful over the fact that you finally became so infatuated with the world that you no longer could remain loyal to God's righteous requirements whereas the Brothers you left behind are still out there faithfully doing what they know is right."
Yadirf;
I find this "statement" cowardly and disgusting.
a) because ALL "professed" Witnesses on ALL discussionboards spout this SAME
tired "reasoning" as if it was REHEARSED and NOT from the HEART---where, as
I'm SURE you know---IS the "seat of motivation!" (And THIS IS bible-based [tm]is it not?
You and all the "others" who HIDE behind this monstrous nonsense spouted by the precious GB, are SO (unfortunately) blinded by the clever WTS "spin-doctors" that you are more to be pitied than censured. We all know where you stand--and WHY---but it does NOT make YOU or the "GB" or "the Boys-in-Writing" that MAKE UP and PRINT this CRAP ........right!!!!
YOU... are just too cowardly to SEE what the WBTS has DONE (and hidden to YOU and other "Loyal Sheeplike Ones") and ACCEPT that there are MAJOR errors and tragic mistakes they have made over the years........
b) I was NOT "resentful" or "disgruntled" when I went to "H2O" to ask a question in ALL INNOCENCE, and was STUNG by all the negative replies. The MORE I tried to "defend" my faith, the more extremely angry and defensive I became....but I was beginning to realize that my "defensible JW beliefs" were becoming increasingly UN defensible, and there were SO MANY seemingly "little things" that had meant nothing to me AT THE TIME........were merely well-constructed Public Relations tactics to save the WTS face.......with NO regard for the "sheep" they so often attested to protecting and nurturing (i.e, "Proper Food At The Proper Time"(tm)
I DIDN'T "go there" out of ANY sense of resentment (let me make THAT crystal clear) but to defend the things I was taught as a JW and to show'em all where THEY were wrong!
Yadirf; the BOTTOM LINE is----------that as terribly painful as it is to accept (and it IS that and more) the Watchtower Society in all it's clever doubletalk----has NOTHING to "do" with the "Christianity" that Jesus spoke of.......and their ability to twist scripture to their own ends unfortunately borders on the scope of remarkable. (About the kindest thing I can SAY about the Society)
ALL these people who "differ" with the edicts of the WTS are not evil, Satanic,
Apostates, whiney crybabies, unable to fulfill their "dedication" due to wanting to
be "in the world", or any other concocted description that is pounded into those who
still remain as Loyal Ones....
edited for spelling
It's HELL to wake up and realize that you've been duped and lied to....and even harder to ADMIT that the Watchtower Society has had you in it's slimy control for however long you've been baptized....
COWARDS don't confront their relatives with the horrors they have learned about the WTS, and COWARDS don't stay loyal to an organization that thrives on lies, and COWARDS lose family members because they KNOW what the WTS is doing, even though it hurts like Hell....
The REAL cowards (who DEFEND the WTS--not those who are fighting "personal demons" but KNOW the WTS teachings are crap) STAY IN the Organization because they can't FACE what they know will happen to them if they are honest with themselves and the facts presented, or those who REFUSE to LOOK at the FACTS about the "Truth" they so wholeheartedly and blindly defend.
No...we're NOT whiney crybabies who "love the world more than we love Jehovah", we're gutsy and courageous people from all walks of life, who NOW see the Publishing Company that we dedicated our LIVES to.......a total crock of S**T and deserves to be exposed as such.
Sorry, Yadirf.......your "argument" just doesn't "wash"....and never will.

You are so complacent and

hello all i am posting this for windchaser a fellow board member, 17 years ago today she lost her son to death.

Dear Dottie,
May your sorrow be somewhat soothed by the warm sentiments on this thread, although NOTHING will erase that pain and anguish completely. I'd like to add my thoughts of sympathy and extend my love to you as well..........
