Michael Jackson: The Irony
by Stephanus in.
i imagine there's a gleeful rubbing of hands in bethel, and lots of self-congratulatory statements circulating about how right disfellowshipping is and how how it keeps the congregation clean.
meanwhile, silentlambs files continue to grow in number, thanks to the protection of paedophiles within the org because of the application of the insane "two witnesses" policy.

I grew up around those times as well. My baby sister need not go to school, now her son starts school next month, etc...
The 'This Generation' was pushed, a lot of people thought 1984 would be the time, 70 years and so on. I guess we really believed it at the time. I remember the local council building a new sports centre which was scheduled for completion in 1989, I remember thnking that it was a shame we would never get to use it.

Iraq Al Qaeda link apparently is there
by Yerusalyim infox news is putting out a report that the senate intelligence committee has a sixteen page memo detailing the links between iraq and al qaeda going back before the first gulf war.
this includes monies...weapons...and training going to aq, atta meeting twice with iraqi intelligence (1994 and 2000), and a possible visit by ubl himself to baghdad a few years back.
it'll be interesting to see how this pans out...even more interesting to hear what the oppossers have to say if this all proves true...you know...the ones who keep saying there's no link between iraq and a q.

by yxl1 inmy wife had a long drive home from north yorkshire with her younger brother (who is a dub) last night.
she was asking him questions about his social life and was very surprised at his response.

Holiday decorations on the Kingdom Hall
by NaruNaruChan inyou know... last year i chickened out... but i'm thinkin there's these two trees in front of my old hall... and they look just like xmas trees... god, wouldn't it be funny if...?
if we had a mass movement and bunch of apostates went to as many kh in their cities and threw some decorations up?
i wonder if the dubs would think it's the end of the world!

in the UK at least I think it could be construed as inciting religious hatred, which is a big NO NO after 9/11, and lead to police involvement. Be careful.
I know this scheme does sound very amusing and I am tempted, however...... there may be a point here.
It would be similar to placing Pork sausages in a synogoue, Beef in a Mosque, defacing any place of worship.......
Unless it was done tastefully... Hmmmm

Watchtower Officials Spill The Beans!
by Voyager intwo high ranking watchtower officials admit to quite a lot in these official committee hansard documents.
if you are one of jehovah's witnesses, perhaps you would like to read how two senators take the watchtower officials apart piece by piece.
especially on the blood issue, several times the watchtower officials walk right into a wall.. the watchtower officials admit that the tax imposed by france could cripple the entire organization.

I wonder how the government of AUS would feel now that the WTS said in print that everyone could vote if their conscience allowed it? That would be a 180 position from their 1999 statements:
Have they !!!!! when was that? Where is that?!!!
Difficult to keep up with all these changes?

If the music scene is anything to go by this could be the next fashion accessory. Religions go in and out of the scene.
A few years ago many Muso's were into the Kabbalah, I read an interview with Maddona and she had a very superficial understanding of the subject.
The Beatles were into Buddhism, Satanism was in vogue in some styles in the 70's, Paganism was in about 5 years ago.
Perhaps, Book Bag's and Nylon Suits will become the 'new look'.
Everyone will get on the band wagon, then 6 months later something else will come in and all the muso's who got around to being baptised will be DF, leading to mass CD burnings.
I have a small recording studio, perhaps I should make an album while its the 'in' thing?

This is why I'm Disappointed....
by Nickey init's a public board.
i was still a jw.
i came here looking for answers to my questions and doubts.

Nicky, (everyone)
I agree, and have felt the same myself, even though I have been out for more that 10 years now and only recently started visiting this board.
My initial visits to Ex JW sites I found two categories that I did not wish to associate with.
- Hate sites. Negitive vibes, there are a lot of JW's I grew up with, very few I still visit at times and are good people, there are hypocrites of course but a lot of them are good people. I will not tolerate this and hatred of ex JW's is as bad in my view as hatred of Jew's, Gay's or other races.
- Petty Sites. I really do not care what the WT June 15th 1895, half way down paragraph 15 on page 20. When compared to the scripture about the colour of jesus sandles says. I dont have time for it.
On the other hand..... There are some good sites out there with a positive attitude and can be supportive. I generally find this one on the whole to be good, although at times I do get concerned. We must remember We do have some responsibility.
- We must consider how first timers will see what we say. We do not wish to confirm all their fears.
- We must consider that the posting guidelines clearly state.... Inciting hatred on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexuality or other personal characteristic. Religion applies to JW's as well.
- We do ourselves a dis-service if we post lies, If I read something that I may later wish to mention to my JW family, I want to be sure of my facts rather than be accused of reading apostate lies.Lets not fall into the apostate stereotype. If we believe we are right in our decision to leave the JW's then lets prove them wrong by posting with respect and honsty.
Sorry to get all heavy..... A
