1. Why doesn't the Bible or the 'faithful and discreet slave' use this term?
Clearly these people cannot think outside the box that they are imprisoned in. If the 'faithful discreet slave" doesn't say it than it is satanic. Don't really remember fds saying to wipe your butt after going number 2, I guess that's satanic too then.
types of witnesses.
1. religious witness.
these are usually converts and seldom stay.
I definitley used to be a 12. A Real Witness for the longest time. But over the last year to year and half something just hit me and hit me hard. For the first time I let myself consider, what if the watchtower isn't right? And from there It just snowballed from all these things I have and am sacrificing may not even be worth anything at all, which by the way allowed my mind to question things in a more real mental atmosphere. Then from there I just said I got to get the hell out of here because this is not the truth.
i brought a top of the range lexmark 73 printer/scanner/copier about a year and half ago and got it covered by coverplan mastercare.
it cost me approx 230. .
the coverplan insurance told me that if it broke down i would get full cover for parts and labour or a brad new top of the range printer.. it broke down and without even looking at it coverplan told me to "throw it away" and they will send me vouchers to replace the value.

a few of us use our real names as our handles, but most of us use something else, such as a nickname or a variation of our real name.
iiz2cool - it was not my nickname (i really don't think i'm all that cool), but that of an old friend named mike prezelj.
i won't go into how he got the name, but it happened when we were all very high, and you had to be there to understand.
It means I am Micheal.
we wouldn't talk to any of the other angels or.
same with angels - we can tell jehovah how much.
so i figure jehovah can tell jesus and the angels.
That alone is enough to meditate on for hours!
Someone please pass the beer and doritos I need to meditate for hours about this one.
i'm sure this must of happened at least once in 125 years, but what if .......... you are working for brother a in his cleaning business (that's seems to be all jw's do) or any other business, and you get df'd lets say for immoral conduct or apostacy, would you be fired ???
and what legal course would you have ???
the freedom of rights must include discrimination against/for religion, just because someone leaves a religion does that give the right to the owner of the business to fire a person.. any thoughts ????????.
But with my case nothing was in writing. Plus when push came to shove he would lie his ass out of it anyway. By the way he's an elder, pretty cool huh?
if he came to earth, how would he be greeted.
locked up as insane?
strung up by the current leaders of christendom?
Even if the dubs looked j.c right in the face they still wouldn't believe it was him. It doesn't conform to their teachings.
pork chop and in_between_days seem to think i am the only one on this board who is bitter and feels occasionally violent toward the borg...what do you think?.
i have been called low life scum because i made a comment (after being provoked) about not caring if all jws died of antrax.
honestly, there are days i really feel that way.
I definitley feel hatred towards them. Not so much for individuals ( though there are a couple I would love to ...) but the organization as a whole. Most times I don't let myself feel this only because I personally feel this would set me back whereas I really want to move past this and never have that cult as part of my life, literal or otherwise. Though I can certainly understand if someone has this violent rage against this cult, I mean look how they have negativley altered the lives of millions of people, both those who have left and those that are in it. Bottom line is, I really don't think there is a hard and fast rule as to how one copes with this, just as long as you said it is within a reasonable boundry.
.
what makes the watch tower organization the authority of the scriptures?
the bible does not say any thing about a watch tower.
As long as people believe what they teach, that provides them with authority.
hellllllloooooooo!!!!!!!!.
someone out there who is just as bored as i am?.
can't think of anything funny to post.
Hey Viv, what's up?
