hmmm, they must not have appreciated "lurkers"... they've set it up now that you have to be a registered member to read the posts.

too bad - it was worth a laugh (or too), and it served as a big reminder why a person would never want to go back!!!

talk about control

Edwards & Brown... what do you think???
by Tashawaa in
1. jw
2. friends
has anyone seen/watch "crossing over" (john edwards) or seen sylvia brown?

i do believe there are scam artists out there, and i'm not prone to believing in psychics, but these two are very convincing.. i don't believe its demons, because quite frankly i think they have better things to do then get to know someone's life so well they can "mimic" them after death .

part of me is very attracted to "their message" - even the animals "cross over"... but the skeptic in me .

just thought i'd share this email, i recieved.

in light of the many perversions and jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: this is not intended to be a joke, it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.. .

billy graham's daughter was interviewed on the early show and jane clayson asked her "how could god let something like this happen?

i'm getting that religious people realllly get on my nerves - no matter how "well meaning" they are.

i read in one of the posts some advice to the newly "ex'd" and i appreciated it, especially the point how other's may want to "save" you now that you've left your religion.. get this... i work with 2 born-agains and my boss is a mormon.

they've all made some comments about that "i shouldn't let this experience destroy my faith in jesus" (tolerable, assuming i believed in him) however, one co-worker has a new zeal for her born-again faith and has raised many topics with me because she respects my opinion.

i've always wanted to know.... why were there prostitutes in isreal?

why weren't they "stoned", and who were "visiting" them... hmmm, and why didn't they have a test for adultery for men?

i think its pretty obvious.

UN & Df'ing

i'm curious... does anyone know of situations where jw inquiring into the un have been df'd?

i did all the research and got info from the original sources (so when i show my family there's no doubt).

i wrote the society once, then got the "usual" reply (2 weeks later) - wrote again, this time pointing out specifics and wanting answers, but instead i got df'd (hmmm, 3 weeks later) for living with my sister (who was disassociated for some time, and was no big secret here in my congregation).
