hi to all who defended me on that other board.. i came home today to nine pm's, all defending me from the personal attacks on me, on another board.
i am still in shock, but i do appreciate the words of those who defended me.. one gal called me and told me she had five phone calls from others expressing shock over the way i was being maligned on the other board.. i am fine, and dealing with it.
i guess we all need to expect to be criticized.
Well I discovered the other board today. The new lurking place of my old nemesis TrollHound... Same ol' Charlie... at least he applied his anger against people who were smacking Mulan around.
It's just ranting nonsense. It means nothing. Who is this chick? What is she talking about? Who cares? I don't know.
I noticed that jjizro is over there as well - wow, that board seems to be a kind of drain grate that collects all kinds of debris. Next stop, Hell's Forum...

in the october 15 watchtower (the one dmouse used the cover of for his competition...) there is an article on how to make decisions.
this picture was part of it:.
note the image on the right.
If the WT runs the New World, we'll NEVER be naked and marital relations will take place "decently and by arrangement" meaning the dubs will have to make "return visits" to their wives and then fill out a "filling the earth assignment" slip and send it in to Paterson so they can keep track of their God-given mission to "be fruitful and multiply".
Hey, that's a good idea for my Jehovaq mythos.

this is an article describing why evangelical christians are universally disliked.
the jw's could learn a thing or two from this examination.
i have repreduced the article here and highlighted in bold certain points.
I am fascinated by this article - it seems he has done a lot of thinking about the role of religion in human life. I like that. Actual thought, not mere fanaticism disguised as faith.
Good eye, greven, thanks for posting this.
The commonality between a certain type of religious mindset in all denominations has been well documented, and yet still people imagine, "Yes, but I'm different because I have the right religion." God is more amorphous - whimsical, almost sometimes, in my almost Deist view...
The Buddhist viewpoint is amusing - if these people had a genuine conversion experience, wouldn't they become ministers or monks of sorts?

did you ask or recieve help from the elders?.
if so, were they helpful?
i did once... they're help was more troubling than not.
I think the average dub is so overworked that they don't have any energy to spare with "good works" or "charity."
Nah, I didn't really get help. They just got annoyed and diffed me so they didn't have to deal with me or my problems anymore.
My revenge will be sweet success in this life as they diddly away their time in their vain pursuits and soul destroying club.

i was just a little kid when the 1975 thing came about, didn't pay much attention to it, after it was over, my parents told me it was just some people being over anxious, and being about 8 at the time i believed it, now when you research you find some amazing articles.
what do you remember being told about 1975 as the year got closer ?
maybe it did happen, and God's kingdom just sucks as hard as all the governments before it.

please be reminded of this alternative now that the watchtower society has brought horrible reproach upon god's good name.

Hey, he's trying to grow beyond the tower.
However, mockery might make him think about the ridiculousness of his position. He's got an untenable set of beliefs, and Phantom made him aware of it.
church of jehovah, because he's trying to start his own church, just might be another one of those charismatic mystic descendants of the old shamans that have buggered us before. In fact, given the overwhelming majority of negative religion in the world, I would suggest that he probably is, and therefore, if he is sincere, he won't take ridicule personally, but will try to "win us over" by his conduct and effective preaching techniques. However, since his second comment condemned someone's words as "unchristian" as a perjorative, I suspect that he's skilled in the arts of guilt manipulation, which is an old shaman's trick.
Not interested. Rode that merry-go-round before.

another fluff special, i've been warned off the jw stuff, so here goes....... would have to be.... 1. jesus christ (just to watch from a distance).
2. aesop (i loved his fables when i was a kid, and still do).
3. my grandad (sentimental, but i never got to see him before i could say goodbye).
Marilyn Monroe.

Hey Donald,
I posted my review - you can read it if you want. I just wanted to add a personal note that you are very courageous to spill so much of yourself out on canvas.
Good work, lad.

the latest watchtower, dec 15th 2003, is an out and out attack on the rank and file for dropping into a drowsy state spiritually.
ok, so armageddon didn't come before the generation of 1914 grew old and died.
but does that mean that the big a isn't near?
I agree that they are trying to get the slightly smarter than average dub, one with a good memory and a head for figures, to work out the date of 2034, and then they are banking on him swaying the ordinary rank and file with persuasion and forceful delivery from the platform.
I know. I used to be that guy. The Bethelite-in-training, the geek with perfect hair and a penchant for colorful ties, the one who never dreamed of doing evil things, who KNEW that the Society was right, that got a genuine feeling of pleasure from discussing the "deep things" with his fellow "sheep", from sitting there and working out just how many angels each witness had following him around in the preaching work, who trembled with fear and wept lest he accidentally bring home a demonized CD that would turn on his stereo in the middle of the night, who wouldn't hang out with anybody that missed the meeting that week, who missed out on many plays because of conflicts with rehearsals and meeting schedule, who consistently gave up the "things of this world" and waited expectantly for the paper that would announce the end of organized religion... god... what a dweeb I was...
