what do ya think of that?

"Want to freak her out... tell her you heard from a BETHELITE that one person he knew actually had an item in the wall of the home he was renting and that the demons decided not attack at first to confuse her and not know it was there. Watch your mom get the hammer and go to town."
LOL, I know lots of JWS who are crazy enough to do this sort of thing!
i'd particularly like to stick it to the woman who gave birth to me by sending a da letter to her congregation, though admittedly i wasn't part of hers when i stopped going.. say i were to send the letter to her cult hall, would the letter be read during the announcement?
how does that work?.
Django I got thrown out of this cult before the internet existed it was a lonely time for me. I moved on but I was young, lost all my familly on both sides my mother's and father's and I still can't feel regret for any of it. Life will get better it always does, I feel sorry for my relatives that are still in.

i'm certainly not going to go out of my way to seek revenge. just not worth it for me.
As time passes you will absolutely feel sorry, not for you but for her. Trust me I've been through it, it is what it is.

"so i have every intention of living well. i now have the means to accomplish some long standing goals and to live the life i want. i can't get my childhood back, i can't change some of the past decisions, but i can make things better from here on."
Now thats a lot better than trying to get back at someone for a past injustice. Move on.

I don't understand this ?
The best way to stick it to any JW is go on and live a happy life without them. Happiness comes from living your own life.

Django I got disfellowshipped years and years ago I have never regretted it one bit. If I had not been disfellowshipped I probably would have just faded by losing interest in the borg. As for them reading your DA letter from the platform I doubt it, but I've been out so long and they keep changing, who knows?
have any of you been on this tour before ... specifically the met tour?.
some of my family went on this trip recently and everyone i know that has gone on it before has been "blown away" by the special witness tour of the met, specicfically the "woman and the seed" tour.
anyone have any details?

Anyone have any details? All I know is that it's a tour usually run by a pioneer where they take archaeological finds and somehow connect them to bible (JW) prophecy. I'm curious!
I am an older Dfd witness may I ask what a MET tour is?
simply for the money..
"What a strange thread. Why does anybody even have to give it a second thought?"
I agree Cofty, I could not do to my children what was done to me by my parents and thier parents and relatives for any price. Money is important to me just like it is to evryone else, but there are just some things I can't put aprice on.
the watchtower about cults.
does anyone have a copy to scan or upload or know of where i can read this in full?.
thanks..
The World Book Encyclopedia explains that "traditionally, the term cult referred to any form of worship or ritual observance." By that criterion, all religious organizations could be classified as cults. However, in general usage today, the word "cult" has a different meaning. The same encyclopedia notes that "since the mid-1900's, publicity about cults has altered the meaning of the term. Today, the term is applied to groups that follow a living leader who promotes new and unorthodox doctrines and practice.
Following a living leader sort of like the(meaning one) faithfull and discreet slave instead of a group of leaders meaning faithfull and discreet slaves.
plus you were not baptised but grew up in a jw family, stopped attending or studying for 30 years then attempted to go back for a couple years.
the attempt had serious negative effects on your marriage, and personality, so you decided to stop all studies etc, for the time being ( over a year).
but with the full intention to return later and be baptised.. this miraculous, unexplained escape from death was discovered to have occured during this time of complete detachment from studies etc.. what would you feel explained this escape?
"Time and unforeseen circumstances befall us all..."
"...those looking for signs and portents..."
"...the sun shines and the rain falls on the wicked and the righteous..."
So true glander I have escaped death several times in my life twice as a witness and 3 times after being disfellowshiped. I was even dead for over minute and there is nothing that could drag me back to that religion.
