  MY B-I-L IS IN THE HOSPITAL

  by Mary in

  2. friends

  here's another update on my brother in law:.

  my sister and b-i-l went to the cancer center in toronto earlier this week to see about getting the stemcell transplant for his disease.

  it was actually an encouraging visit as the oncologist there said that they did not feel his condition had progressed into the acute myloid leukemia yet and that he had longer---up to 2 years---than what his local oncologist had said.

  Knowing the two Canadian lawyers fairly wll I admit to snickering at their experience. For John Burns not to even have a chance to say a word...that is amazing since he usually has more to say than most. Shane thinks of himself as untouchable and god's gift so for him to be roughed up a bit would do him good.

  Only trouble is this situation just makes him more of a hero in the eyes of the Witnesses. It will only increase his god complex

  I am content in believing that this life is all there is. I live my life with that in mind. Being worm food is guaranteed nothing after that is.

  If there is something else after this, I can just be pleasantly surprised ... hmmmm ... I hope pleasantly .... wouldn't be too happy to come back as a goldfish or the like

  I have to say the episode on Scientology had me in stitches. By far one of the most cutting and accurate renderings of that Cult and Tom Cruise too. LOL

  Hypothetically, If Someone Created a Fake Congregation to Trick Another...

  by OnTheWayOut in

  let's just stay hypothetical.

  if someone wanted to create a fake congregation in 7-miles-from-nowhere, north dakota (7-m-f-n, n.d. congregation) in order to trick the elders at another congregation, what could they get away with?.

  just assume that they use a p.o.

  At the time I left it was important to me to disappear. I did manage to have my Publisher Records cards forwarded to a family member including the letter of introduction. I was however in relative good standing at the time which facilitated the deception.

  I still have my cards and I did a successful disappearance. However later when I got involved in Child Abuse issues as an advocate and appeared on TV and testified in court the resulting shunning still happened even tho a formal Committee has never been formed against me.

  So disappearing while still in relative good standing is fairly easily accomplished (I've helped a few people do so). Getting reinstated so as to then fade is a lot more difficult but not impossible. Posting the exact details of how it was done is rather self aggrandizing and threatens the success of the initiative but people make their choices.

  A question for guys

  by keyser soze in

  1. jw

  when using a public restroom, how do you feel when a complete stranger pulls into the urinal right next to you and starts up a conversation with you?

  do you feel indifferent, slightly uncomfortable, or violated?.

  or are you one of the weirdos who does this?.

  It is a violation of the guy code to talk while at the urinal. Any recognition that a person is even standing beside you is pretty much off line!

  Conversation can begin or even resume once the zipper is pulled back up.

  Conversation while washing one's hands (yes guys do that once in a while) and someone is using the urinal is in the grey area but would not be met with the same scorn as doing so while standing side by side or even while in stalls.

  Sending Out a Letter to My JW Daughter - Give Me Your Thoughts Please

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some of you probably read my jw daughter's letter to mrs. flipper and me a few weeks ago where she tried explaining to mrs. flipper why she doesn't have anything to do with me ( says i talk negative towards the organization ) .

  in that letter though she showed some flashes of her authentic, kind personality and told us she loves us.

  but much of the letter was proselytizing to us about how bad the system is and how jeovah will bring a paradise, etc.

  When someone presents themselves as a pseudo pyschologist and one with all the answers they set themselves up for the kind of scutiny Vinny is persuing albeit to a strange degree.

  Flipper can come across as a very arrogant "all knowing" character. Such characters are going to be challenged,

  Have you ever had your palm read, fortune told, or read your horoscope etc?

  by restrangled in

  after reading the ouji board thread, i wondered if anyone had "dared" anything of this nature.. i was always too scared to even watch movies with any of this content.

  i do read my horoscope.

  my great aunt was into the occult and she was told she would die before she was 50 when she was in her 30's.

  I have had two readings. Both were almost exactly the same, stating I am a very old soul 2,000 years plus and that I will have an reasonable existance but will come into a money making venture later on in life.

  They both spoke of a spiritual turmoil but that I would come to rest in mid life with my spirituality.

  It was alll vague enough to question but close enough to make me wonder. Having two say the same thing either means accuracy or I give off the same 'tells'
