a court case by jws was dismissed b/c they ruled that abusive/insulting languague was not protected by the constitution.. the new york times website has over 1,000 articles in its archives.

last night i was snuggled up in my overstuffed living room chair, sipping wine by candlelight with bob seger tunes playing on the cd player.............it evoked quite a mood in me that followed me into this morning at work................two songs that touch/ed me deeply are posted below............how about anyone else.................anyone love bob seger?
if so, which of his tunes is your favorite?.
bob-seger's lyrics - her strut lyrics.
Sunny -
"Her Strut" is my most favorite Bob Seger song - in fact, I like that whole album (Against the Wind)! I also like "The Horizontal Bop"... (I know where some minds are right now!)
Sounds like you're feeling really good about things right now..! Good for you!

recently i have noticed mentionings of charles taze russell.
some have said that he was a freemason and was mesmerized by the great pyramids of egypt.
in fact he created a chart called the "plan of the ages", others feel he was a nut and yet others to this day follow closely the teachings and prophecy interpretations of scriptures.

I know you can see the picture you posted because it is on your hard drive, however, I can't see it. Here is a thread that can help you get it up so we can all see it! It sounds fascinating!

i've been out for about 10 years and, to be honest, i have begun to worry less and less about what that org.
but in eman's recent post, "you have one shot", sirona mentioned about all the lies that the wtbts have told.
i have read c of c, but my memory is fading on what some of the more blatant lies that i recall from that book and other articles.. just in case i have an encounter with a jw who may actually be considering leaving but wants more support/reasons to leave, can people help me by refreshing my memeory on the biggest lies that they have told, that would catch their attention the quickest?
Wow! Excellent post!
dustyb - when you set your mind to something, you just take yourself to the limit! Is this the same guy who didn't realize any of the things you listed (other than 1914) just a few short days ago?!!! You have been studying hard and it shows! Great job!
Gary - I agree with you that one can not see what is wrong unless one begins searching for one's self. Seeing through someone else's eyes is a whole different animal than seeing through your own.
Nathan - As I was never a baptised witness, every now and then I come across a particular doctrine that either I've not heard before, or is described in jargon I am not familiar with. Of your list, numbers 1 through 4 don't ring any bells for me. Since I don't want to hijack the thread, if you wouldn't mind, would you or someone else please pm me on this, or point me in the direction of where I can research this on my own? I'd sure appreciate it!
There are some really good points here - but I also think that the absolute biggest lie - and the lie on which everything else is based - is that the WTBTS speaks for God. Everything else stems from there.
