ive been here less than a year, but ive notice that the majority of us have faded for various reasons.
we also read the stories of those who got disfellowshipped or disassociated themselves.
in the majority of the cases, their parents will not talk to the children for years and the children will not talk to the parents even if they are dying.
If I had to lose everything I ever cared for so I could look at myself in the mirror without vomiting, then those rat bastards living off the nickels of 8 million mentally blind victims should act like they have a pair and do SOMETHING to ease the pain for those left in their wake of their destruction.
.... if they were, in fact, awake.
10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.
12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.
15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.
Zoos: I was just having a conversation with an awakening JW two weeks ago using this same line of reasoning. I've seen a similar write-up on the subject... somewhere. Anyway. I fumbled my way through it, unsure about the effectiveness of my presentation.
In an effort to clarify, I just emailed her a copy of your post. Thank you! Your timing could not have been better.
UPDATE: Oh she's out. She is SO out. And her ministerial servant husband has stepped down but refuses to leave because he doesn't want to lose his VERY extended family still in, but has stated unequivocally that he will not let his two young sons (12 and 8) get baptized. He won't let the religion use that as a tool to separate them from their mother.

I put my money where my mouth is and have contacted my national newspaper with this information.and have a few more papers to contact.
Would you mind posting your letter so some of us can do a JW copy of it for our own local newspapers?
they just posted the simplified august study watchtower on jw.org.. paragraph 11 of the "expectation!
" article says this:.
"so even if we feel that we have been waiting a long time, this does not mean that the end is far away or that it is not coming in our lifetime.".
a recent wacktower had hinted that the year 2034 would be the final date for armaggedon.
if armageddon has not arrived by 2035 then will the wts close shop for good or will they simply accuse the past presidents of apostacy and regroup to form another daughter of the tower offshoot baseless religion?.

Can you imagine how righteous these men must be in order to be hand selected by the sons of God to serve in such a lofty position? Oh, how the thought of it doth maketh me quiver.
If only I could reach out and touch the pant leg of one of these men, surely my flow of diarrhea would stop.
i flew over this crate yesterday on my return home from las vegas.. .
they say this crater was created by an asteroid about 50,000 years ago.
then about 6000 years ago, presumably, god wiped out all life on earth with a global flood.. how much sediment would have been moved around during that flood.
Check out the Epic of Gilgamesh sometime. Babylon's side of the story for the great flood and many similarities and intersections with the Hebrew side.
I now have the Epic of Gilgamesh pdf.
Thanks!

The bible version of the tale of a global flood comes complete with a date - it was only 4,400 years not 6,000 as the OP postulated.
You're right. I goofed.

How much sediment would have been moved around during that flood. Would this crater still be visible like this?
