i just had a shock today when i realised that i had just paid too much tax for last year.
i had forgotten to add almost 1000 pounds expenses to my tax return.. oh yes i'm going to get some money back.but should i be so hasty, this money will go toward policing , education and many other important needs of society.. maybe it would just go to some corrupt official or politician who will spend it on a slap up meal.. so how do you feel about paying your taxes.
are they too high or not high enought.. are there any better ways for keeping countries running smoothly.. also what taxes do you pay in other countries?.
HEY LISA LISA & CULT JAM:
I had to throw that in for retro sake. Aren't office fetish people really cool? They are usually very very anal, extremely sanitary, prepared, organized, and intense. That's me!
I love folders, inboxes, bins, trays, desks, cabinets, files, paper, pens, etc.. I love STAPLES, OFFICE MAX, OFFICE DEPOT, etc..
Once I'm, it takes forever to get out.
i live in the u.s. and was brought up as jehovah witness.
baptized at 13, df'd at 16. reinstated at 23 and 1 month after reinstated...went inactive!
between 17-23 i found out what the "truth" really was, and that the wtbts did not have it.
Welcome Aboard!
i would like to say to all who care, i am leaving this thread for good.
the bible talks about the unbeliever and those are the true apostates.
even though there are many here who truly love the lord as i do and have shared and taught an awful lot of helpful information to help me fight the battle against false religion, i thank you and pray for each of you.

You sound decisive. Let your instinct and your conscience be your guide! The forum will continue, life will continue, even you will continue.
It's just a forum, nothing more nothing less. Don't lose sleep over it. Every day, in your basic interactions with human society, through school, work, recreation, you are going to encounter people who communicate dangerous information/behavior.
Leaving the forum does not change the number of "ungodly" unbelievers you will meet in life. They are all around you. Relax, settle down, take a chill pill, have a coke and a smile and forget about it.
If you believe in GOD, I am sure your GOD is not watching you right now and judging your future because you visit this forum. THINK!
guys and girls.
the society have now instituted carnivore - their data tracking system installed into the uk bethel to track all apostate email and activity.
the reason is the amount of "leaks" of confidential mail and facts.. they have tried and failed with legal blocking, so now they are plugging the leaks, these guys were brought into mill hill late last year after the leak of the june 1 letter.. their method is to use message boards and chat rooms for the "disaffected" and get them to go to other "society monitored" web sites.
The D.O. made another point that just jogged my memory. I forgot about encryption standards.
You can purchase key pairs or you can purchase software to generate public and private key pairs. Of course, if you generate your own keys, and want to encrypt messages and mail, you will also have to provide the key to all of your trusted recipients, or they cannot understand the message.
Most Microshaft Mouse Monkeys are familiar with MS Certificate Server, and of course there is Veri-Sign and many others. The higher the encryption, the longer it takes to break in. I don't think any adventurous hacker seeking to post his exploits on a hacker publicity page like: http://www.attrition.org is going to waste time chasing JW's.
Or, I don't think the society's robots would attempt it, even if they were told. It would cause a Bethel scandal. Who knows? Would they ever secretly hire someone from the outside to deface and destroy apostate web-sites? I am still waiting for the first defacement of the WTBS sites to occur.
I am sure they have written C++ & JAVA programs to "poll" their server's root document directories and overwrite all of the pages with replacements in case of unauthorized modifications. It's a common practice to protect the server's root. You hack the page, but every 30 minutes a daemon/script/executable is running in the background checking for the page version and date and overwriting with the original if it doesn't match.

You guys are correct, however I never said I love refunds. I love filing and completing the forms.
Inside IRS publications and in the tax code, you are reminded: "it is the responsibility of the individual taxpayer to pay the least]amount of tax possible".
I love doing my OWN taxes only, but the real pleasure is in learning how the system works, and structuring your financial habits to spend your money in deductible ways all the time. if it can't be deducted or credited in some way legally, I usually won't spend. It means I am cheap, but pay very little annually. I would rather write the IRS a small check in December/January, than wait a year for the government to return my money, interest free.
It's only fun when your ahead of the game (legally) and everything is in order.

Don't you think you would be more useful to society as recycled fertilizer?
i was sorting through my files today and found this piece from 1996 and thought i'd share.. ginny.
diary of an armageddon survivor.
ed thorn, our presiding overseer, told us that those who were missing should have spent more time in field service.. day 2. brother thorn called a special meeting this morning.
BEST POST OF THE WEEK!
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and blah.
monotone, monotone, monotone,.
monotone, monotone.. you were right, moxy.
Hey TR:
Nice account. Very funny when you think out loud on the web. Anyway, I think I am going to pop in and scare a few people next meeting.

Not bad. Clunky navigation.
my daughter was born at 9:05am tuesday morning.
she's a skinny little thing, 7 pounds 5 ounces, with a shock of black hair, her father's chin, her mother's eyes, and a fetish for sucking on fingertips that neither of us recognize in ourselves.
i'll post pictures when i have them up somewhere ... meanwhile, foxy and i are trying to catch as much sleep as possible, which is precious little sleep at all.
CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES!
