What's the one thing you miss about the WTS?

there are times when ilook back fondly on my days in the witnesses, especially when i think on the congregation get togethers we would have every once in awhile (not too often) people from our hall and sometimes others would show up (not too many) and good times were had by all.

this is how the schedule usually went.. 8pm: arrive at the community centre.

8:05pm: scope the room.

just thought i'd share this with you.. back when i was in the gulf war, i saw some action.. we were on a chopper that encountered heavy fire, killing the crew and troops everyone but me.

i made it out as the chopper went down, grabbing an m-60 light machine gun, a field radio, and (what a suprise!

) a case of beer.. i radioed for extraction, and got to work on the beer while i waited.. wouldn't you know it, the dang iraqi showed up a hundred strong!.

Two Witness Rule Revisited

1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
...the dungbeetle way.. for the benefit of all the gazillion 'incoming wounded' we have here at jw.com, here is the watchtower molestation issue in a 'dungbeetle' nutshell.

and just to be fair, i will only deal with that information generally available to jw's.

the internal watchtower documents (boe and personal letters from watchtower) are extremely revealing, but they are not available generally to jw's, let alone the public.. 1)much before 1985, an adult jw having raped or molested a child, even a very young one, wasn't considered important enough to devote much time and space in watchtower's literature to the subject.. 2)in 1985, in response i understand to a series of scandals that rocked bethel and are documented elsewhere, watchtower comes out with this gem:.

Love, Marriage and Leaving JWs?

have you ever heard bitter divorcees relate their experiences about their former husbands or wives?

most of the time, if it is a wife telling the story, her former husband could not do anything right.

he was a terrible father, lover, provider, cook, gardener and he smelled funky and was abusive.
