LOLOL...so, now, both HS and waiting have 'said' the "magic" words...and who the heck is Al Stuart, anyway??? -Barnie

No no no. I was asking HS about his grammatical error - repeating back to him what HE said....so I actually never said "Al Stewart is a plagiarist." And he never said it either - as he was saying that a person would have to say "Al Stewart is a plagiarist." So actually, no one ever said "Al Stewart is a plagiarist." And no one could ever say "Al Stewart is a plagiarist" on this forum because it's a written forum....thus, no speaking. Only writing - which is my now belabored point, that, and HS was wrong (I love that point too). But, we now know, that if anyone ever says - or writes - "Al Stewart is a plagiarist" well, then, they better watch out, eh? Is Al Stewat a plagiarist, btw? I liked that duo he sang with that black guy of the old song, something about "this old heart of mine." Anyway, good song.....and Al was just remaking, not plagiarizing, that time. Right, Hilliary? waiting

Ok, lets try again : To get deleted you must say after me : Al Stuart is a plagiarist.

Wouldn't a person on a written forum have to write "Al Stuart is a plagiarist" to get deleted?

WTS Addresses Child Abuse - er, kind of...

by iiz2cool in

my wife, who is intent on re-activating herself as a dub since i da'd myself, went to the convention this past weekend.

she showed me this new publication entitled "learn from the great teacher", and placed great emphasis on these two pages i scanned and am posting.

it makes a poor show of telling children what to do when confronted by a child abuser.

By mentioning the demons, they are trying to put distance between themselves and the subject of abuse.

good point

News from Silentlambs on Erica Garza (Washington State)

by blondie in

recent newsletter from silentlambs.com updates.

i wanted to give a couple of updates for silentlambs and let everyone know we are busy behind the scenes.

new reports come in everyday and many are being helped with their situations.

As some of you might know the case was dismissed on 9-17-03. The judge stated before the court the actions of Watchtower were egregious and outrageous regarding what they did to Erica. Watchtower once again used a loophole to get out of it. The loophole was the statue of limitations being three years for civil lawsuit after she testified in court against her molester. Erica testified in 1998 against Manuel Beliz, the lawsuit was filed in 2001 which missed the statue by about eight months. This is according to Washington state laws.

No, I didn't know - so sorry to hear about this - particularily for Erica.

I watched Erica testify in court against her molester, she is a small person but inside she has the heart of a lion. I admire her courage and willingness to put herself and family on the line in the interests of protecting children. Erica was one of the first to go public with this matter she was the key interview on Dateline that helped to see the truth of this matter.

Erica is a true hero - no matter the outcome of her case. Millions of people heard her truth of abuse by the Watchtower and Jehovah's Witnesses Cult.

Worldwide Work money was given to premium law firms to defend the pedophile policies of the organization in what is estimated well over $100,000 in order to see Erica never got one penny for the injury caused by this policy.

It's a shame the WT has so much money. But the continued "Advertise, Advertise, Advertise" that the WT money includes Worldwide Preaching Work Money may hit home with jw's - many of them working low income jobs just to support their families.

Thank you Erica, your actions in speaking out has helped thousands to understand they are not alone.

Amen! Amen!

We have now moved silentlambs to a new office that is outside our home. It helps to separate things a bit and get the hotline out of our bedroom. It also lays the foundation for future work and assistance. This of course brings on additional expenses so please remember to support silentlambs through your donations. -silentlambs

Waddago, Bill. I think that's a great move.

Research Linking Wealth, Religion Shows JWs Among the Poorest

here is a very interesting article from today's local paper.

a reseacher from ohio state university is showing that american jews develop substantially more wealth than christians, including jws, based upon education and early investments...... .

WT until about 20 yrs ago didn't even encourage finishing high school. Pioneering was more important.

WT has always encouraged being self-employed....but not going for any more education than was absolutely necessary. So that left a lot of men & women in labor type of employment.

WT has always discouraged 4 year college. God forbid (pun intended) if the person went for a Master's Degree or Doctorate.

WT has always, through the elders, quietly discouraged any investment in the stock market.

WT has always, through the elders, quietly discouraged any investment in retirement funds. lol - the world's going to end "any time now."

So Jehovah's Witnesses get a double whammy - in general, no investments and no education.

Are you a lady or a real woman?

by happyout in

subject: are you a real woman?

ladies - if you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up.

real woman - if you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too bad.

waiting

Real Woman - Buy boxed mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

lol - I have some up *yonder* in my cabinet that's over a decade old. Figured they still might be good some day.

My son's 25. He came home one day & was browsing my freezer. He commented that we sure did seem to eat a lot of shrimp because everytime he came home - there was always a package of shrimp on the second shelf of freezer.

Then he squinted his big eyes at me & said.............."or is that the SAME package of shrimp."

I am a Real Woman............"What leftover wine?" To be sure.

And I have no idea how to get black print back....and I don't care.

I just got an email from an xjw who's going to court soon against her xhusband who's a radical jw - fighting over the right for her children to grow up FREE.

STAY STRONG, SWEETIE! - and eat lots of pizza!

But that's not the reason for this post.

She told me that her attorney's paralegal told her that they had received the above children's book from another xjw. The lawyer's library of xjw material to fight the WT is growing - and their thankful.

It's something we might all think about - keep those damned WT books and *place* them with people who can use them. And if we can get others to receive them for us, or buy them ourselves - get them.

I believe it was Vicki Boer's case where her lawyer was using the Flock book - but it was challenged as it was a different printing date. Something to keep in mind when going to court - the right book during that appropriate time.

This literature is valuable in the hands of the right people. Lawyers need an intense education in the Jehovah's Witnesses Cult - quickly & concisely. And they need evidence.

Who is your favorite author?

by Happythoughts in

.

ayn rand is mine.

just wondering so i can find a new book or books to read *smiles*.

waiting

Tom Clancy - never read one of his books I didn't get involved in.

Michael Crighton's book Timeline is really good. I like the book for all the quantum ideas - but I'd like to see the movie for the actual time travel (which is explained, it's actually NOT time travel).

Read half the book the first night I opened it.
