  G'day evil apostates,

  Prisca is right Stephanus, security is non-existant and cameras are welcome. It's much easier now that peopole don't mingle as much as they used to - all you have to do is walk the walk and talk the talk (the first bit is much fucking easier than the second .. oops .. yeah .. see what I mean? ;)

  We could beam back pictures of apostates in the stadium .. very funny .. I'll print some scarey tracts to spread about.

  Safe4kids - you're in the club! .. come on down .. Australia has a lot more to offer than zombie stirring You don't need to pack lunch Dana, there's a cafe below the super bowl where beer and cappicino flow like water. I've dubbed it 'The Armageddon Cafe' .. last decent refreshments before entering the narrow path leading to eternal boredom .. (I sure got funny looks ordering a beer ;)

  My sweat Prisca - We could disguise ya as a nun .. how about it sister of perpetual eros? ;) I gotta hear your story one day.

  cheers unclebruce

  R. FRANZ UNWITTINGLY TELLS THE TRUTH

  by Yadirf in

  raymond franz unwittingly reveals the truth insofar as the comparability of todays jehovahs witnesses and those who were true worshipers in queen esthers day.. raymond franz said:.

  raymond franz, a high-ranking jehovah's witness who was disfellowshipped and then wrote two books about the inner workings of the faith, said he doesn't believe cases of pedophilia are any more prevalent in the denomination than in others.

  but the religion's insularity leads to problems, he said.

  Kent - Bravo - I think you're photo is one of the best peek shots to make it out of Bethel. (you know this joke was first carved on budhist temples around the time the baby jesus took his first smell-free dump to show the disgust younger budhists felt for their governing body.) .. time moves on but human nature doesn't change much it seems.

  .. now take your head out brother Adams and give me a go!

  this is a question my df mother would like me to post for her:.

  would it be morally right to go back to the jws, even though she doesn't feel it is god's org?

  she would do this in order to speak with her life long friends and her youngest daughter, all of whom are quite emotionally distraught due to her dfing.

  Spinner - You have more friends here than you realise. People here will believe your story. My life seemed pretty bizzare looking back at me from the computer screen. Even if people have trouble believing you don't let that stop you telling it how it is. (I was called a liing yarn spinner the first time I revealed a little of my background .. truth is often stranger than fiction in the land of cult mind control and, if you're honest and forthright, most here will understand and empathise with you. (even if we're a bit slack at saying so and offering a shoulder)

  best wishes and happy posting, unclebruce.

  PS: Danny is a great bloke. (he sometimes makes me cry too - usually with laughter

  Are You 'Unevenly' Yoked?

  by AGuest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  may you all have peace!.

  in the minds of many bible scholars (the wtbts 'scholars' as well), the term 'belial' means 'without benefit' or 'good for nothing'.

  that is incorrect, however.

  Yadfluff - I don't have a bible handy but do think spending a night sleeping in a dungeon full of hungry lions would send a bloke a bit bonkers or paranoid at least.

  Yes, I am all too familiar with Jehovah's cursing folks with the roids and threatening to rub shit in their faces (scriptures banned on the old h20) What this has to do with Lisas mom's reinstatement I can only hazard the guess that her face rubbing in the kingdom hall back row would be equally distastefull to the one threatened in old testament times. (when Gods were Gods and women knew their place)

  I'm always ready to meet my maker Yadfart, Old Jehovah and I have an agreement - he doesn't get in my way and I don't kick his arse for all the trouble he's caused. Very simple really, a win/win situation to make deBono proud.

  LOL Ffuday,

  Waiting for a watchtower prediction to come true eh? Get yourself comfortable, I think the church steeples are safe for a long while yet. As for comming to pick me up, swing 'round and grab Farkel first .. or better still send old Jehovah himself around. I could do with a burl in the Golden Chariot (I can help him with his golden rain from there)

  don't go worshiping anything man made now will ya .. satan walks about like a roaring mouse seeking out who cut the cheese .. unc who's wary of pre-packaged religions made in amerrycar.

  G'day Yaduff,

  Would you believe me if I told you that I just got back from one?

  Yes I would. You have personal integrity. Is that what you're telling me? Now what did you wanna start going back there for? Better you than me ol' fella - if I wanna feel all smug and superior I just go for a walk with the hound, it's cheaper and doesn't involve too many many mind games or bible gymnastics

  You have personal cred yaduff but please don't equate that with knowledge of ultimate truth in this garden of good and evil. God knows what the ultimate absolute truth is .. or does she? ;)

  There are many different types of spirituality backwoodsman. A neigbour of mine is an old hippy and we've spent the past week collecting rocks together in the surrounding forest. Each rock has a beauty of its own, some are blue, some are red, maroon, yellow, pale greens, orange, white the colours and textures are amazing and we're pretty excited about what our houses are going to look like .. Neville and I are becomming good friends and stop to marvel at the beauty we see, wether it be weird insects and mosses (not to be confused with moses) cloud formations, tree bark, birds, wildlife, colors in the fire, whatever .. we all make choices .. give me days in the bush over hours spent on a hard chair, doomsday book on my lap, listening to some ignorant sod drone on about times long gone and the pety triumphs of a jealous God over imperfect men and Jehovah's promise to let Abrahams seed rain down blessings from above .. real soon ... god bless the brooklyn know it alls .. blah blah blah ..

  greetings from the happiest unc in the jungle.

  Yaduff - You're right - I respect no mans authority, worship gods of my own making and believe all organised religion fatally flawed. I fail to see how this invalidates my advice/encouragement. (PS: When did you last attend a meeting? ;)

  TR - While I'm butt-kicking .. how about giving that tired old 'head up arse' joke a rest and putting your head above the parapet. Had any original thoughts today? Jokes are often funny the first tine, rarely the second and never the 83rd.

  G'day yaduff,

  I think, if anything, the ratio of child molesters to straight folk is likely to be lower in closed religious societies such as the JW sect. However the only similarity I see between the Old Testament Patriaches and the New Order Overlords is their common belief in the 11th commandment. (thou shalt not get caught)

  This is an interesting topic - where does the religious give way to the secular authority in situations of law breaking and criminal activity? Do you believe the secular authorities are put in thier places by God to administer justice till he gets back from the throne? (ala Paulian pro-Romanism) or are JW pedophiles to be packed in cottonwool and protected lest 'the world' see all is not well in Jehovah's Kingdom?
