Truth is not Always what it Seems
by ThiChi inas we have learned by our jw experience, truth and facts are not always what they seem........ gun control science misfires friday, april 13, 2001. by steven milloy.
gun control advocates used to claim that more guns meant more crime.
research demonstrated, though, that more guns meant less crime.

Thichi,
It might not be causal in nature, but it is certainly true that statistics indicate a far lesser gun-crime rate in countries where handguns are either not legal for possession by the general public or are severely restricted.
Notwithstanding that fact or Constitutional issues, it's too late in the US for a gun-ban to have any effect on crime. Eliminating the right to have guns will result in criminals being the only ones who have guns other than the cops. This might have the effect of making criminals bolder and result in an increase in crime.
Reasonable restrictions on guns are necessary. Too many times, wackos are getting their hands on weapons. Waiting periods, etc., are the reasonable approach to dealing with this. But these restrictions must not be so broad as to infringe upon the right of the people to "keep and bear arms" as guaranteed by the Constitution.

Do the 144K have "Beautiful Minds?"
by Mindchild indo the anointed have a beautiful minds or bicameral minds?.
as you sit here quietly reading this post you are probably not aware that im about to expose you to an intellectual shock.
using published research material from perhaps one of the ten most important books in the 20th century; i have come to the conclusion that the anointed or 144,000, sometimes known as the faithful and discrete slave have only marginal consciousness and frequently experience auditory hallucinations.

Thanks for diagnosing my problem, Skipper! I've always known I process reality different than others, but now, I know the reason for it.
BTW, are you using those sears catalogs or can I borrow them?

Do you ever feel secure?
by flower intoday i had a thought and it sickened me to think it.
i thought to myself 'it is possible that satan has blinded all of us and led us away.
so i started to list the reasons why i know that the truth is a lie.

Flower,
It sounds like you are experiencing the lingering effects of the brainwashing you've been subjected to. What you've said is exactly what the JWs want you to believe. They need a means for keeping their folks in line, and fear is a very effective tool utilized by them in their quest to control you. Don't let them succeed. Stand strong and keep fighting it, one day at a time. Good luck Flower!

How will Gen-Xers contribute to the fall of WTBS?
by LDH inis it because we're a cynical lot?.
maybe because we were the first generation of latch-key kids who learned how to raise ourselves?.

Bravo, Reborn!
I have a similar story, but I was out at the age of 14, and never ever thought of pioneering. I hated my "internment" in the JW cult, and the slavery (i.e., among other things, forced marketing for the corporation cult without compensation)and abuse that accompanied it. Education helped keep me away from hell on earth aka "being in the truth." I've been out for 22 years now, and only regret that I wasn't able to get out earlier.
It makes me happy to hear of stories like yours. I have no problem with adults choosing to worship how they please, but I really resent the treatment JW kids are subjected to. Good for you!

35 is the cutoff? I don't think so. Billy Idol was the lead singer of a band known as "Generation X" when I was in junior high school (1978 - 1980). That was before his successful solo career. BTW, I'm 36.

Thanks Simon and doinmypart for the elder letter!
In addition to being one of the annointed, I'm now interested in becoming an elder! "A woman in such an emotional state may be more vulnerable and may be prone to develop improper feelings toward an elder meeting with her." Hoo haa, I'm going to do some sheperding calls and cultivate some of those improper feelings with those "vulnerable" women!
I knew there was some benefit to being an elder!!!!!

Thi Chi,
I think I overreacted a bit in that thread, so I'm also sorry.
I agree with your view on asset forfeiture. Here in Cali, we had a case of a landowner in Malibu who had a large ranch (I don't recall size, but around 50 acres of some of the most expensive land in Cali). His last name was Scott. His live in girlfriend was spending $100 bills around town, which allegedly led to suspicion. The park service began running title searches on Mr. Scott's land, salivating at the idea of an asset forfeiture. Law enforcement conducted aerial surveillance, and based on such surveillance, a search warrant was obtained to search for a large marijuana crop Mr. Scott was allegedly growing.
Law enforcement raided Mr. Scott's house, and Mr. Scott, who was drunk at the time, viewed these officers, who were clad in black, as intruders, and armed himself. He was shot dead, and the raid turned up absolutely no marijuana (or any other contraband), not even a seed. The decedent's girlfriend filed a $5M lawsuit against the county, and the case created much controversy due to the absolute lack of contraband and the title searches performed by the park service prior to the raid.
Many in the community viewed Mr. Scott's death as a very unfortunate result of the asset forfeiture laws in this state.
