the other night i was over at my jw parent's house.
my brother-in-law (who is not a jw) and myself started discussing michael moore's movie.
(he brought it up i swear).
Soooooo.... what they are saying is they knew 9/11 would happen because the WT predicted it, but it's not in the bible --
and ----
it is something they knew about in the past (9/11) which will be proven by future events (i.e. Jehober using Bush)?!
Sure! That makes sense!
NOT!
LOL! How do they think this stuff up?!

the moon.
you'll see it's silver shimmer.
you'll see it's craters, honey.
Wow.
That was beautiful, CRR. I'm sorry about your dad passing away - it sounds like you miss him alot. I understand about putting your feelings into poetry - I do the same thing - it helps ease the pain, doesn't it?
I wish there was more I could say....

amos 3:7 does say that the living god will make his impending judgement known to a select few so that they can in turn make a last appeal to those who are reasonable at heart.
daniel chapter 12.....1260+1290+1335= 3885 days/years.
you gotta know which it is, days/years in order to even begin making sense of it.
Well, Godsmouthpiece, welcome to the forum.
You might want to look up JCanon and Brownboy. Honestly, they would probably be the only people here who might be interested in your predictions (sorry, but thought I'd warn you now). Most of us don't believe the "Armageddon" story, and next to zero of us believe the drivel of the WT.
Although you are a welcome member, just thought you'd want to know what you are up against. I wish you luck on getting your message out.

the other day my mom and dad called (
my mom called a few minutes ago...
) and i have been thinking about sending them a letter in responce.
Wow, Elsewhere. A very thougtful and powerful letter.
The next time the Watchtower Society tells you about discrimination that Jehovah?s Witnesses are experiencing around the world, I want you to think about how you are discriminating against me and spiritually abusing me because I am not a member of your religion.
I remember when I was growing up I was always being told stories about how Jehovah?s Witnesses have been threatened, even with their lives, if they did not renounce their faith as Jehovah?s Witnesses. The stories would speak of how wrong it was for people to harass and threaten Jehovah?s Witnesses simply because their beliefs were different from other peoples. What you have done to me is no different. You have informed me that unless I renounce everything I believe in you will shun and reject me. This makes you hypocrites.
This sums it all up. Hopefully they will see themselves in these two paragraphs, because every word you said in here speaks volumes of truth.
Good luck. Please let us know if they finally wake up and realize the turmoil they are putting you through.

steve and joy were just in the area, and we hooked up for lunch.
they are the best people, and we had a great time visiting.. they are on the road again, though still having troubles with some of their tires.
they are headed west and we mentioned that they should see drwtsn.
Sounds like fun! Be sure to post those pics when you get them!

the recent superstition thread got me to thinking.
growing up i was terrified of "demons".
sometimes when we would have witness gatherings they would start in to "demon" stories.
And Six, with you, we know which one to credit with any of your "demon problems" - so lay off the carbonated, fermented beverages, k?!
growedup who stays upwind from Six!
i am a 48 year old good looking fart.

P.S. Are you planning on keeping in touch with us after you leave?! I hope so!
this quote is taken from the movie fight club, spoken by edward norton's character "jack.
" tyler, who is jack's imaginary friend, responds by saying: "no, i think you'll find that you're insane.".
the reason tyler says this is the fact that jack is the one who is imagining tyler into existence, and taking him as real.
