the finished mystery book from 1917, approved by jesus himself in 1918/9 resides at http://www.geocities.com/athens/thebes/5606/fm/r09.htm.
i am in the process of writing up my stuff.
so i thought i'd lift the highlights and get them behind me.. i just had to share this blooper with you.. call me crazy but doesn't current truth decalre the stinging scorpions to be the "faithful and discreet slave".
It's my understanding that the "Finished Mystery" book was in the process of being written by the founder of the WTBTS (forgive for not remembering the name, either having senior moment here or am blissfully finally forgetting much of what was taught to me) and the founder died before he could author/interpret the book of Revelation, SO-o.....Judge Rutherford, himself, authored the final chapter on the book of Revelation, which is probably why it's such a screwed UP "finished mystery"...

Hi, Ms. Tryst! Good to hear from you....I took the liberty of emailing you privately re: our close proximity after your Houston move...looks like we'll be in easy traveling distance of each other...and I can introduce you to Country Girl...she lives near Elgin, close to Austin...
So glad you're coming to our area....In what part of So. Cal. were you living? I lived in Escondido and made my exodus from the borg there in 1992...

not even a day after i came out of the closet, the co with an elder and his preachy miserial servant nephew (you know, the kind that's supposed to make good husbands and are supposed to be brainwashed beyond belief very spiritual and who believes the bible has the truth on everything from diet to nuclear physics?
) came over to visit me and my dad.
they wanted to know why i felt the way i felt about their cult god's organization.
Good goin'! I just love to see those circus serpents get their tails in a twist!

kay - nuff of the doom,gloom, flame wars & down right negativity - lets discuss women's lingerie!.
with the day of love coming up , i have a few questions for you folks (guys & girls - could get interesting).
seriously though, ladies, do you feel comfortable buying & wearing lingerie?
Either way, I'm just happy if I can reach the hooks on the bra and if the cups control those two blobs of silly putty on my chest, instead of letting 'em look like "charismatic boobies".
Auntie Flame
in particular it seems like every wt for the past year or so has a section or a paragraph pumping up the elders.
or talking about them being "gifts in men"?
or like the part on the service meeting this week, interviewing an elder and making him seem better or different from the rest of the cong.
The circus serpents would descend on yall's publishers only party and everyone would hafta go to the "B" room in the back of the hall....and then yall'd be publicly criticized for havin too much fun without proper authorization and everyone else would be jello-wuss.

i'm seeking to connect with anyone in southeast texas to mideast texas area that's disf'd or disa'd
it's always good to find others who understand where we've been without having to explain or rehash everything we've done or said that may seem eccentric to someone who hasn't "been there" .
it would be nice to meet others with an "in common" background and enough chutzpah to leave the xjw baggage in the closet most of the time.
Nawwww....I think we've just "come out" of the JW apostate closet as Humans, at last, Beans....an apostate is one who pledges allegiance to a faith in a deity or a cause and then reneges on his/her oath of allegiance....I, personally never pledged an oath of loyalty to a group of men....the borganized shepherds, on the other hand....HAVE sworn to loyally give TLC to their "sheep" or followers....and have reneged on that charge.....unless their oath was just to feed the "fleeced ones'.....in which case, we've surely become fed up...LOL! It's just a shame that most of the elders turned out to be circuitous serpents....

.
because of the connations(sp?
) of `mother goddess', a pagan super goddesss,should a jw use this phrase?.
Only if they're willing to admit publicly what "muthahs" they are...

hi everyone.... just abit of a fluff thread really.... in australia there is an 18 million dollar lotto draw happening on the 15th of february... .
it got me to thinking... what would i spend it on???.
i know that the first thing i would do is pay off all my debts, buy 2 houses, one to live in and one to rent out, buy a new car, put money in trust funds for the kids and give some money to my family.... that still lives at least 10 million dollars... i would have to go on an around the world holiday (first class all the way) ok take of a million... .
Find 35 people who would appreciate having half a million each to make their lives more comfortable and help others with a "hand up"....

i finally have the courage to come out of the apostate closet with my extended family and my old family friends.
i thought that day would never come, but i just got the courage today.
what ironically inspired me was a kingdom hall.
However you decide to make your "debut" I know how much courage it takes and I congratulate you....but know this....you/we are NOT apostate.....THEY are.....The reason I know this is because vows at baptism were not to render unquestioning obedience to men, but rather to God...and they are not God....it is most presumptuous of them to usurp God's position....which is probably why they're having so many financial and legal problems now, as well as the hypocrisy of their affiliation with the United Nations having been made public knowledge.
