blondie and others.... an elder just gave me a print out of an old question from the readers.

i don't have the month and year, but it was the one that said.... "is jesus the mediator of just the spirit annointed or all mankind...".

is it possible, for blondie or anyone else to please help me out and give a "play by play" of the article similar to what blondie does with the weekly watchtower???.

Why do most brothers work in the cleaning business?
by JH in
1. jw
2. friends
when i joined the jw's many years ago, i couldn't get over how many were working in the cleaning business.

i know this permitted them to go to the meetings, out in the field service, and work without any conflict.. where did this trend start?

is it like this world wide?

Watching an elder sh*t in his pants... priceless.
by confuzcious in
1. jw
2. experiences
cable modem and monthly service charge - $39.95.. paperback copy of ray franz "crisis of conscience" - $19.95.. watching an elder sh*t in his pants... priceless.. one thing i learned is that elder's hate to look bad in front of the c.o.. after numerous attempts to ask the c.o.

for a shepharding call to go over injustices in the congregation, i finally ran into the c.o.

while having his 11:00 coffee break with the congregation.. till then, the elders would stone wall everytime i would ask for a shepharding call from the c.o.

"You disfellowship yourself - cop out..."
by confuzcious in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i was talking to an elder today and called him on several points.. one of the points was that the org disfellowships people for unscriptural reasons.. i gave examples of a gambler (yes, the bible talks about greediness, but it's silent on gambling.

) being involved in boxing.

etc.. anyway, he said that, "well it's not the organization that disfellowships... but in actuality, the persons disfellowship themselves.. what is your guys response???.

My first "Wordly" Funeral...
by confuzcious in
1. jw
2. experiences
hey guys, .

i just attended my first "worldly" funeral since i've been out of "the truth" tm.. anyways, i thought it was nicely done.

it gave honor to the deceased, it drew me closer to jesus and it evoked emotions within me.. i'm just contrasting this to the jw funerals which always seems like way to peddle products rather than honor the dead.. no thoughts in particular for me, but anyone have any similar thoughts???.
