  if you were not born into the organization.

  my prediction is that the majority were catholic or catholic lites (ie.

  episcopal, lutheran, methodist).

  appeal for a meeting to the presidents of the czech and slovak republic .

  in may 2000 the cosmic people of light powers appealed to the presidents of the czech and slovak republic for a personal meeting on any airport or bigger grass tract.

  cosmic people did not specify any limiting conditions.

  Another Melbourne Bomb Scare!

  the rialto building located in the city business district of melbourne has had another bomb threat.

  all those who work for the law firm we work with who are located in that building, have been given the day off.

  the authorities are treating the threat as a hoax....but to be on the safe side, some are taking precautions.

  were you forced to give up your fleshly family

  please take note.. when i first started studying with jehovahs witnesses ,over a period they lead you to beleive that your family are serving satan ,therfore hidden pressure is put upon you to ditch your family ,if your weak you will do as you are told but as allways they make you think your doing it for god,its so they can start to control you slowly ,your familys gone your old friends are gone you have nothing else be warned then comes the reliance upon every single word the elders say to you hypnotismn comes allso through the literature ,.

  i kept my family at a distance i never allowed man to dictate ,pluss i had no opposition from my family in times of need i was there to support my greater family and now i still have them if needed why make yourself miserable.. thank god i never bowed to the presure of relinquishing my family ties

  Yes,very slowly.When I began studing I lived with an inactive family,the people who introduced me to the meetings...( why did I listen)

  They were a nice family tho,but they smoked and drank.When I was living there,some "loving" brothers and sister would say suttle things about my sprituality(sp?) I moved out because I felt they would put a damper on my relationship with Jehovah.I moved back with my mother and a few yrs later they started with my mother...She is one of the best people in the world...she is soooooo GOOD!So I moved out with my daughter..quit school ,went on welfare(how stoopid..didnt need an education...blahhhhh)

  Had to keep me away from my "worldly" mother...lol When I think of that word...worldly...how stoopid it sounds to classify people like that.

  Can we really fade away for good

  i was wondering how long an inactive witness can stop going to meetings before the elders can disfellowship the person?

  some are saying that the elders will visit inactive ones in jan,feb,march.

  is there a strategy up their sleeve?

  It ticks me off,that the elders "think" they still have control over us,in their minds,that is.If they ever come to my door,I'm going to tell them with "tact".To get out of my life.

  Do they make visits to DA persons?
