Elder Comes To My Mother's House To Inquire of Minimus & Family
by minimus inmy mom told me yesterday that my friend (while growing up) who is an elder again, (after years of mental problems), came to her house and inquired as to how my family and i are doing.
he said we have become a subject of conversation at a recent get together..... of course, my mother started crying, told him to ask me himself and told him she did not wish to talk about this subject since it severely depresses her.
he backed off but shortly asked again.

mini if they corner you : you could just ask them questions for an hour, like some that you ask here, what's your favorite shoe polish, what your favorite kingdom melody, how often do you rotate your tires, how do you feel about buying a car from circuit leasing, do you like the new hoover vacuum at the hall or the old sears one we used to have. do you think sister green thumb is going to be selling her over ripe tomatoes again this year. i'm sure after an hour of this they will leave you alone. for a while. btw sorry about what they are doing to your mom. john

Now I know that only one on this thread has suggested that they got what they deserved, but do you really mean that?
yes i do , you think the police there only beat up jw's , i'm sure they beat up most criminals , and this is common knowledge, in that country , old style police work , right here in the u.s. alot of times meant you got a kick in the ass or hit with the stick a few times . then sent on your way . is it right? i can tell you from experence it has happened to me a few times. and i thank the cop , for letting me off easy. now i don't know the laws in uzbeckastan. but i'm sure if the cops wanted they could have sent these jw's for long jail terms. just like what happened in china in the 1950's to jw's getting 20 years hard labor. i think these jw's should thank the polce there for letting them go home and sleep in their own beds. maybe next tie they will get that 20 year prison term for not listening time and time again. i look at the bigger picture every country the wt/jw's get taxed,or thrown out of is a plus for human rights. john

1914 Generation Doctrine on their Website
by Sirona inhttp://www.watchtower.org/library/pr/index.htm?article=article_07.htm
how long a time period would these last days prove to be?
jesus said regarding the era that would experience the "beginning of pangs of distress" from 1914 onward: "this generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur.

FLASH I th ink you need to spend a few days in your local public library, and research famines, war , desease, earthquakes, etc over the last 500 years. i'm sure once you do this you will never again say things are worse since 1914. my jw dad tried this on me 5 yrs ago . till i spend less than a week researching these wt teachings. poor dad had to call the police to get me out of the house , because i made him look like an uninformed FOOL. . and the best part was i didn't use one apostate book all that since 1914 is as easy to make look ungodly, unscholarly, lying bull$hit, with a simple look atr history books . at that place of worldy lies. your neighborhood public library. john

good i'm happy they deserve what they get. they have been told many times there to stop their crap . and they don't listen.i would love to see some of the bethel heavies go over there and open their mouths. since they got these people in trouble in the first place , just like what happened in china in the 1950's the jw missionaries stopped their door to door work. but they sent those chinese jw's out to get arrested and many got 20 years in jail . while the missionaries went back to the u.s. . the so called fds talks a lot of $hit . but they will never go on the firing line. god bless the uzeb gov't. i know some here will scream . but if the united states gov't would have finished off the wt in 1918 , like they did to many groups. non of us would be here today crying about haw bad the wt screwed up our lives. and thats a fact. john

Mexican documents anyone?
by Bubbamar ini was wondering if anyone has any official documents from mexico showing that mexicans were never prohibited from engaging in religious activities such as singing and praying during the time period that the mexican jw's classified themselves as a culteral organization for the purpose of owning property.
(was that sentence long enough?jeez) or that what did change (when the mexican jw's were brought to tears over the new freedom to sing and pray) was actually the ability for religious entities to own property.. also, does anyone know how the rank & file mexican jw's rationalized the fact that other religious people were able to pray and sing during this time period?.
i hope that all made sense.. thanks

funny in the 2 article by catchthis the wt admitts it , changed their worship for land ownershp without coming straight out and saying it. . they have a lot balls. i know this topic has been talked about before, but i think this really shows the wts true colors, they will do whatever it takes to own real estate, just like what they did in germany in 1934-36 kissing up to hilter to keep the land. john

Tell us about your avitar.
by carefully faded ini loved the recent topic asking what each of our screen names means.
great question as i have always wondered about quite a few of our screen names.
as i was reading the responses, i looked at holey cheeses - king of the juice's avitar and thought about how i have been wondering for the past three years, what the hell that is a picture of.
