Hooray for Men In Funny Hats
by Uncanny indo any of you other lurkers or posters ever give a thought to the poeple - not publishers - who may have helped you learn 'the truth about the the truth?
' i'm talking about ex jehovah's witnesses like myself who have been there, done that, seen the light, and are trying to shine it on others.. just over 2 years ago now when i got banished to the bottom of our earth - to a dying mining town in western tasmania on my first and last mts assignment - yours truly started wondering what the heck had become of his life.
i got lonely - real lonely - then on the net, only to find, not solace, but salvation; by discovering all the stuff i'd swallowed from the wtb&t society for the previous 20 years had really been just a pack of dated, if even manipulative theories.

The Price For NOT Being Disfellowshipped
by Uncanny inthose two young american girl tennis players and supposed jw sisters have arrived down under again for this year's tilt at the australian open championship.
yes, the flamboyant venus and serena williams show is back in melbourne town.. after last year when sr venus triumphed at this event, i thought it would be hard for any jw sportsperson to top her ecstatic run around courtside with old glory.
or the way she stood so solemnly and proudly as her nation's national anthem got played after the big win.

Infinite Justice?
by Uncanny in'infinite justice'.. that's quite a title for a crusade against terrorism.. i would have thought that only a god has the power to administer infinite justice.. so i kinda wish president george w. bush would make up his mind about being either a texan cowboy sherriff - 'dead or alive'- or a god.. i also hope military action taken against people living in afghanistan - if it comes to that - will be ordered by the united nations and not just the pentagon.
.
we are all in this crisis together now.. uncanny

Sisters of the Stars & Stripes
by Uncanny ini have just tv-watched two very famous and very rich fleshly sisters, venus and serena williams, play out the final of the 2001 us open tennis championship for women.. venus, the older girl, won the match as expected after two regulation, rather ho hum sets of 'grand slam' tennis.
(maybe their dad had already done a deal with them on who was going to be the winner today.
) anyway, the big new york crowd seemed to get their money's worth, more maybe from the novelty value of sibling rivalry rather than high standard court play.

The Real Whore of Babylon
by Uncanny intoday i noticed on television via 'entertainment tonight' how that supposed, self-proclaiming jehovah's witness 'sister' and top rating professional tennis player, venus williams, is back in the news again.. this time she was shown cuddling up to her italian bodyguard.
she had quite a loving expression on her face, while he had a glint in his eyes which seemed to say he'd like to do more things with venus' well toned body than just protect it from intruders or perceived danger.. last year, i posted on h 20 how appalled i was on viewing sr venus running around courtside with an american flag after she won wimbledon in england.
then there were those stationary tv close-ups while she stood reverently at attention as they played the u.s. national anthem.. my gripe in all this blatant display of double standards not so much concerns ms. williams' antics, but rather how they continue to be tolerated by her religion's governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

Run, Watchtower, Run
by Uncanny ini watched an entertaining german film on cable last night called run.
lola, run.
the plot revolves around how a young woman named lola has 20 minutes to come up with 100,000 marks or her boyfriend gets executed by the mob.. the film cleverly replays a 20 minutes running scene in which lola reacts differently each time to things which happen on her run(s).. one incident has lola nearly knocking down an old woman pedestrian as she rounds a corner.

US to lose King of the South Crown
by Uncanny innow that the news is out the the united states of america has lost its seat on the united nations security council, one can only speculate if and when the old boys in the brooklyn writing deparetment will strip them of their king of the south title.. the us says it was because europe couldn't "get its act together.
" but the truth was they just didn't get enough votes.
not too many salutes from the middle east or the asian countries, especially after george w's spyplane fiasco over the chinese border.. i'd like to see china, the awakening giant, take on the role of the big bad bible bogeyman on the planet during these never ending wicked last days.

Joining the Tribe
by Uncanny ingreetings to all lurkers, posters and friends,.
like amazing, i, too, just saw farkel's h 20 post about the plusses of this forum and have decided to move camp or switch horses in mid-stream.
there is only room for one jw forum in my life, and after scanning the list of familiarly warm and fuzzy names here today, i feel like i've come home.. thank you again to farkel, surely, our own marquis de sade of anti-watchtower words.
