Great letter. Wish my sister would read it... her 16 year old daughter is about to be baptized at the convention in two weeks. But there's nothing I can do, they will never read things like this, they will not even read anything coming from me... It hurts me to know my niece is in for a horrible life of slavery in the service of nothing but power greedy men.

WITNESSES CAN STOP REPORTING FIELD SERVICE!
by The Searcher inthe lawyers acting on behalf of the wtbts/g.b./'mother' during a paedophile case a couple of years ago, have stated on record that - .
a) "field ministry is not controlled or monitored by the elders, the congregation, or watchtower".
b) "an individual publisher's field ministry activity, including the time and manner it is carried out, is a personal matter between the publisher and his god.".

I did it !!!!
by snare&racket in7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.
i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.
i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.

Congratulations Dr. Snare! Really hope you're going to help lots and lots of people. One thing I do hope as well, and that is that you'll be a doctor that is willing to listen to people and not just prescribe medications for the fees to support Big Pharma instead of your patients. Heal the roots of their sicknesses, not just the symptoms! Just saying
Well done you, now go and celebrate your achievement!

American inventions in since the 1890's
by Bella15 ini just read one of your posts on how the watchtower corporation always focus on the negative side ... then it got me thinking ... we have always have murder, rape, stealing, lying, idol worshipping, hatred, men laying with men, woman layign with woman, but we have never ever ever in the billions of years of the universe and don't know how many of human history have the following (some perhaps are reinventions but nevertheless) -- did i mention facebook people?????
these are only in america, how about around the world.
there are thousands of inventions that have make life better for us, as far as the wicked heart and mind of men, that's old news ... lol ... there is nothing new about war, murder, lying, homosexualist, rape,.

Trust, of course, and friendship. My hubby and I are together 24/7 in a house that is 5 times smaller than what we were used to, and we're working together in the same (internet)business... If we weren't each other's best friends, we wouldn't be able to handle this situation, since there's not really a way to have some privacy (well, in the bathroom maybe haha)
We have the same weird sense of humour, we like each other's strange habits and also like to tease one another with that... We have always lots to talk about and love to make plans for the future and then work out ways to realize them (we call ourselves 'the A-team' hahaha, "we love it when a plan comes together!" tatatataaaaaa ta ta taaaaaa ) and what happens in the bedroom... stays in the bedroom . Oh and another thing is that we have learned really well how to fight and argue, so every now and then we have a quarrel... like a summerly thunder and lightning, a little bit of fresh rain to clear the air.

Bizarre comment about jw.org at SAD
by sir82 inrecently attended a sad.. bethel speaker was gushing about the wt's embrace of new technology, in the part of his talk warning about "apostate" web sites.. a loose summary of his comments:.
"and the brothers at headquarters have made it very safe for you to go to our website.
in fact, the brothers talked to the folks at google, and they made a special arrangement so that when you type in 'j w period' into the google search engine, it automatically shows you the jw.org website.

When I search 'JW' in Google, with or without period, JW.org is on top and number seven (last on the first page) is JWfacts.com.

Rip's inspiration is lying here... R.I.P.
Oh wait! There comes a Jehovah's Witness... and you know what? He just told me that your inspiration will be resurrected in paradise... SOON!
Time for a dance, arms in the air, jumping a singing... what emotion does one need for that? Oh wait... JW you said???
Kkggggggrrrrsssssgggggggg.... *scratching record that got cut off immediately*
JW talking => "I'm so sorry Rip, of course your inspiration will be resurrected... BUT... first you have to follow some procedures and reach some 'spiritual' goals... so uhm... I'm not sure about that dance... of course you can dance, but uhm... it might be best if you keep your arms down, and jumping... well, if it doesn't make the JW's look bad, well you might wanna reconsider... you know... uhm... the bible says... well... it says... let me think what did it say again???... you know... things, about conduct or something like that... and bad association... well that could be a prophecy about jumping... sort of... I think... So about your inspiration... you uhm... sure you want it back? 'Cause in the paradise you'll be able to have a lion for a pet... you see... so, why would you need inspiration anyway??? You will be soooo happy to be in paradise. And you know what? All of my brothers and sisters, you know, all the other JW's that are so joyful and happy like me, will all be there! To join you! Now isn't that some inspiration??? What do you think? Oh do you by any chance like to read one of my magazines? This one is called the... Washtowel... or something like that anywayzzzzz...."
Sorry guys, is just happened... it wasn't me, my fingers were typing. No idea where it came from. Bruja had nothing to do with it. Seriously!

@Humbled: Hahaha, will write an addition tomorrow! Have to go to sleep first. Goodnight Oh and unfortunately I don't draw... but a children's book... hmmm, sounds like something I would like to write! Hubby has asked for a short story for his website as well, so I've written one for him tonight and he was delighted. Maybe I've discovered another talent...
