BORING!!!!! This religion is the antidote to the adverse side effect associated with Viagra use known as a "priapism." One dose and you're softer than a McDonald's local! In any event, the sights and smells of the kingdom hall are sufficient to cause psychological castration, if castration is one's objective.

JW sighting while shopping
by Scully ini was out today at the grocery store, picking up a few things for the weekend, when just beyond the pineapples, i spotted a jw lady i was once friends with.. i wasn't interested in engaging in conversation, so i just continued picking out fruit, when out of the corner of my eye, i see her look at me and recognize me.
she looked like she was panicking, and then darted behind a pillar in the store, trying to hide from me!.
my dd was with me and noticed what happened.

Martha Stewart Indicted ! What do you think of her now ?
by xjw_b12 in.

it seems martha's stock value has gone down, as well as her status in the eyes of her fans.. any opinions ?.

I think she's innocent until proven guilty. Assuming she is guilty, the crime she's charged with is insignificant when contrasted with the Enron scandal and other recent corporate scandals. But Martha makes a good scapegoat and distraction from Enron and other scandals that are too close to Dubya for comfort.

If the recent posts attributed to Mr. Bowen are indeed his words, then in my opinion, Mr. Bowen ought to change his name to Gilligan.

My username is meant to parody the concept of the 144,000. Who is keeping count of these folks? Arthur Andersen? Given the likelihood of error, I figured I should be entitled to an arithmetic immateriality variance to mitigate any inaccuracy in Witness counts of these "special" people.

What happens when the Governing Body dies off?
by truthseeker inmost of the gb members are in their 80s and 90s.
with the passing of milton henschel (82), one wonders if they'll all live to be nearly 100, like freddy franz.. so let's take a theoretical look into the future, 11 years from now.. the year is 2014. the last gb member dies.
the faithful and discreet slave class are no longer in existence.

Last night I asked about getting reinstated...
by Gadget inafter the meeting last night italked to some of the elders in the car park, and asked what more i neede to do to get reinstated.
they commended me on the things i've been doing (?
), and said the main point for reinstating would be how much contact i've been having with my fiance, who's still a wittness.

Tell the elders you need to speak to them in a health club, then take them in the steam room, lock the door, and let the effects of a diet of beans, broccoli, beef heart and Heineken flavor their nasal passages with a scent that symbolizes the value of the faith they follow.

Please don't wear underwear...

Princess,
Bike shorts are designed to be worn without underwear. Quality bike shorts have special stitching in the seams to prevent chafing and other irritation. About 15 years ago, I thought I'd never wear bike shorts because I was too "cool" to wear those tights. Then I went on my first serious mountain bike ride, with my surf shorts and grape smugglers on. By the end of that ride, I had no skin on my butt. The seams of the underwear acted like sandpaper and severely irritated my posterior. I quickly lost my need to be "cool" and bought some high quality bike shorts.
I ride my mountain bike on mountain trails pretty regularly; about 3 x per week. My butt thanks me for using the proper shorts.

Hawkaw said, "There are many more accounts as well as BOE letters that prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the WTS by its policies tried to hide these cases. The victims opinions are not biased. They are factual. They were told to be quite or face dfing. The pedophiles denied the accusations and nothing was done because the elder hide behind clerical privilege as instructed in BOE letters from the WTS and the two witness rule. These are facts and they are out there for all to see - Erica, Heidi, Berry girls etc."
This is a very dishonest effort to falsely characterize my previous statements. I have never accused the victims of these cases of being "biased"; please provide a quote to support this implication. You stated that the victims in these cases would agree with the characterization of the Watchtower as a "pedophile paradise." I responded that these victims would likely be biased in expressing such an opinion because the extreme harm they have suffered would likely taint their ability to be objective on this issue. I have never expressed an opinion here or anywhere else regarding the Watchtower's conduct in these cases, as I believe such an expression of an opinion would be inappropriate given my ignorance of the facts presented at trial.
"And quite frankly you by using a questionary style hinted that Bill may not be on the up and up. All I ask is that if those truly are your questions why didn't you contact Silentlambs and ask for a copy of the statements rather than making those questions public the way you did. If you don't get them then come back and tell the board. Last time I checked its a toll free call and seeing Bill doesn't post here unlike the certain Counsel you refer too then maybe you should contact him."
A question is not a hint. Go back and read the original comment. gcc2k said, " I'm sure that Bill's mission (or mission in life?) is genuine and heartfelt . . . " Seeing as how no evidence has been presented to support that assertion, I questioned its basis by asking whether anyone knew the extent of Bill's compensation, if any, from Silent Lambs, and whether there were audited financial statements available. Questioning the validity of an assertion for lack of basis does not equate to "hinting that Bill may not be on the up and up." You are the one providing such hints by your extraordinarily defensive posture on this issue.
Additionally, when I read a quote such as the one attributed to Bill Bowen at the inception of this thread, I can't help but question the motives of the person who made it. Sensationalizing the WT's use of routine discovery tactics and stating that these acts are for the benefit of Paul Berry (the convicted molestor) is dishonest, in my opinion. Their purported payment of Mr. Bowen's expenses are for their own benefit, not Mr. Berry's. According to the quote attributed to Mr. Bowen, he has already been convicted. The case at issue will have absolutely no effect on Mr. Berry's conviction. I'd like Mr. Bowen, you, or anyone else here to explain to us exactly what sort of benefit Mr. Berry would derive from the Watchtower escaping legal liability in this case.
"I think if you applied Calf. law to the Bowen/WTS service department call you would note that Bill as the PO was phoning on behalf of the elders in the congregation to see what would have to be done in the case. The WTS person was expecting Bill to pass the message on to the other elders and thus, even applying California law, Bill was still okay since the response was to be relayed ot others - http://www.rcfp.org/taping/"
Your interpretation of the California statute is absolutely inaccurate, but debating that point is moot since the matter is not subject to California law. Also, criminal liability is not the only issue; there are possible civil implications as well (e.g., invasion of privacy). But putting legalities aside, do you believe it is proper to use deceit to accomplish your objectives? .
I think it's safe to assume that both of us would like to see the Watchtower punished for the grief we've personally experienced or seen others experience. However, it appears we differ on the approach that should be used to accomplish that objective. I don't believe ethics should be compromised to achieve this goal or any other goal.
