  about seven weeks ago i posted here for the first time.

  in that post i said i'd like to be reinstated but felt it likely wouldn't happen because the shunning was too much for me.

  well, my prayers have been answered and i am reinstated.

  At least you have heard another side of the story and are making a free choice -- like I am still doing by remaining a witness -- I trust you will still visit this site to get the other side and hence not to be force fed what the WTBTS want you to hear

  blondies post on an earlier thread re the gate crashers at the assemblies running to "save" the best seats got me to thinking..

  just what constitutes a "good seat" at an assembly?

  i've never quite understood that.

  Is it a seat, that has a higher back on it, that if you actually slouch down in it, you can catch a few winks without anybody noticing, until you start snoring, or do the head bob?

  This works for me - especailly during the Public Talk sunday afternoon

  i havent been responding to many posts lately, ive sort of had my hands full.. i haven't been to the meetings in about 4-1/2 months - my mother has had two strokes and been in the hospital and doing rehab.

  (before that i was occasionally going in order to bring her to the hall, my mother is in her 80s and the dubs are her only social outlet.

  no one has a clue that ive had my eyes opened about the borg.

  Well, you can keep your card here for now.” (I’ve been handing in fake time reports for a year! I love helping to distort their precious annual report.)

  Brilliant -- I have never thought of it that way -- I will continue as a witness a carry on putting false reports in -- as was also well said -- I am using theocratic warfare strategy --not telling lies -- wonderful

  it is evident that publishers are growing in the us branch, but pioneers have not kept pace.. consider the km reports from january this year:.

  2002/03 service year (pubs include all pioneers).

  sep - pubs: 971,346 pioneers: 88,341. oct - pubs: 972,450 pioneers: 91,101. nov - pubs: 973,067 pioneers: 89,083. dec - pubs: 895,241 pioneers: 90,654. jan - pubs: 986,419 pioneers: 89,325. feb - pubs: 983,963 pioneers: 89,251. mar - pubs: 1,003,431 pioneers: 87,878. apr - pubs: 991,499 pioneers: 87,377. may - pubs: 992,412 pioneers: 86,884. jun - pubs: 963,000 pioneers: 84,900. figures for jun are approximates as i only glanced at the sep km and do not have it yet.. but there is a clear indication that despite all the talks to do more and pioneer, and the aug km talk on.

  If someone does not report one month or even two or three months the secratary will chase them up -- especially at the end of the service year in August -- and they can then put a report in for that month and the thre previous months -- this will be counted as 4 publishers that month - I kid you not -- trust me on this one -- that is why I use the year end average publishers -- you can not really tell what is going on with month by month figures -- Randy always does good year end summaries with graphs if you go to www.freeminds.org

  Daniel 11:37

  daniel 11.

  37 neither shall he regard the god of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all..

  i'm leaving this up for interpretation.. this verse is speaking of the coming anti-christ and it gives a bit of some detail about his background....note it states that he will have no desire for women.. so what does that make the anti-christ be???.

  i would like to know if anyone here ever tested the water when it came to dabbling in spiritism and then were "bothered" by demons later on.

  the wts would write articles about how using ouija boards would be asking for trouble.

  any true stories you can share?

  When I was coming into the truth, I did try the occult to prove that demons exist and hence that the witnesses were correct -- some sisters in my congregation still obsessed by the demons and everything that goes wrong is them/satan. The demons never visited me but I still got baptized and then became an elder!!
