For WTBT$ to outright lie to the world like that is unbelievable to me. But that Vincent Toole, really is a 'tool'. But I LOVE Snarky's video....

JUSTICE #13 - Praying to the Devil!

by Amazing in

jw
friends

a little history: prior to 1971, the jw congregation government was organized around the congregation servant (cs).

he was considered the sole elder, having attained spiritual maturity, and qualified to serve.

our cs was considered a highly respected elder in the region.

Oh, we know these thigns happen all the time in congregations. We come from a small congregation in Central AZ that was well known in the circuit as the 'Peyton Place' of congregations. From Elders wife-swapping to drunken parties put on by MS's and serving alcohol to minors. Every 3 months a large group would go down to Mexico to party and every time they came back there was a month full of judicial meetings. Once even had every single elder removed except one older one [in his 70's].

Thanks for the post Amazing

Oh Yeah, metal pipe it is! That's what was so scary because the entire area by the back door reeked of gas. That would have been a movie sized explosion! Capt Kirk [ Love the name by the way] usually 13 is my lucky number. The last Friday the 13th I won $100 on a lotto scratcher.

So, this week has been HELL!!! It's been bad enough that all of our JW friends & family having been shunning us, 'unfriending' us on Facebook and sending nasty emails to Gojira... So I have a dog, Zoey that likes to tattle on the others, even humans. If they are doing something she doesn't like she comes and jumps on me whining and tells me. So Zoey starts raising hell and scratching on the side of the house, so I opened the back door to see what she was pitching a fit about and I hear hissing, so I noticed the other dog, Abby had dug a hole beside the sewer pipe so I thought we had a leak since I was running the dishwasher. So I went to investigate and HOLY S#!T, Abby had dug up the propane gas hose that runs from our tank to the house and had chewed it all up and propane was spewing out. So I had to run around the house and hurry and figure out which valve to shut off on the tank. Thankfully Zoey is a tattletale and let me know. I could be dead and where the house is a big hole in the ground. So I called the gas company. $60 an hour + parts. Good thing it's not the middle of winter and we would desperately have to use the furnace because he cannot get here until tomorrow. She's lucky I don't hurt animals other wise she would be dead.

When Real Life Becomes Fiction

by TD in

this is a spin-off from the argo thread.. who here has read the 'little house' books by laura ingalls wilder?

were you disappointed when you realized how much could not possibly have happened the way it was told?.

Newly Enlightened

Yep. So boring, I only got to the 3rd chapter of the 1st book.

I know I'm going off topic here..... I just noticed you are in AZ. We used to live in Central AZ. Cottonwood to be exact. The infamous 'problem' congregation.
