Any Old Time Radio Fans here?
by El Kabong ini've recently started listening to old time radio shows from the 1930's through the 1950's.
shows like fibber mcgee and molly, the great gildersleeve, jack benny, lux theatre, the shadow, inner sanctum and tons more.
the best part is that a lot of these shows are available for download off the internet in mp3 format.

This has happened to others lately as well, is it because of placing personal photos in the avatars?
How else could little birds figure out who you are and then report it?

Strange Deaths in Bethel recently?
by GermanXJW infg, a member on the german boad read a private report of the most recent gilead graduation.
the report says that the jw in brooklyn are a bit disturbed about recent cases of death which included some younger members of the bethel family.
can anybody confirm this?

I thought the only things that died in Bethel were brain cells!
It would be sad if it's true about the deaths, I remember someone posting about suicides at Bethel which would have seemed like an impossiblity or apostate lies in my dub mind a few years ago.

the united nation scandal and all other Watchtower Society scandals
by booker-t ini was recently talking to a jw elder at my job that i have been working at for over 20 years(he knows that i am da'ed but still talks to me trying to get me to come back) and i brought up the un scandal and all of the wts scandals that are hitting the wts.
he said it does not surprise him that "apostates" would try and deceive many jw's with lies and 1/2 truths.
i told him that i can get a printed copy of the un ngo membership and that the wts was a member for over 10 years.

Booker-t...Elder bodies have talked and rehearsed these subjects and have nice short answers prepared to throw you off.
He just laughed it off and said that the WTS has done nothing wrong because they joined in 1991 as a NGO so they could use the UN library and used it for 10 years.(If there was nothing wrong with it why did they cancel their membership within one week of it being exposed in the Guardian Newspaper) But the UN started to change their policy and that is why they quit being a NGO member.(That may be true but it's not what is stated on the United Nations web site which placed information concerning the WT membership due to all the corespondance it had been receiving) He said that "apostates" don't tell the whole story only 1/2 truths.(He's never heard a whole truth yet so why confuse him now) He also said that they printed a whole article on the child abuse problem within the WTS and how they had to disfellowship over 36,000 jw's for immorality including wife-swapping and homosexuality.(Yes that's true as pointed out, this is an annual number who are df'd, the only other occasion of this happening was when Jah sent snakes to kill a crap load of his people and when he routinely sent a half dozen priests with swords through the camp to kill 20 or 30 thousand Israelites while they were having sex in their tents...man I hate camping..no privacy) I must admit this elder was sharp with his responses and it kind of stumped me. I have been out for so long I don't know what the society has printed in the pass years. Did JW's print an article in 1983 or 1984 admitting that they disfellowshipped over 36,000 jw's for child abuse, wife swapping and homosexuality? ( No sadly these are still routine pastimes among Jah's special people) If this is true than the JW's have covered their tracks and kicked out bad associates. Would not this be the honorable thing to do?(They do cover their tracks pretty well but it does not seem necessary because a faithful dub can be told anything and will turn bad into good whenever the Jah's visible org is connected to it) What are your thoughts on these answers(posters)? This elder said that JW's still feel that the UN is the beast of revelation and that has not changed. Is this true or was he just lying to me? (They have changed what they consider the various meanings and symbols in Revelation to be at least 4 times in the last hundred years so for that elder to say they still feel something or know something means nothing to me. If you were to say to him that a brother had just told you that the latest WT pointed out new light which identifies the Wild Beast of Revelation as (take your pick Jennifer Lopez, Maddonna or Michael Flatley Lord of the Dance) he would accept that as truth as well because it's from Gods chosen channel...no not PBS!)

Are JWs "Approval Whores"?
by Scully induring a quiet moment at work the other night, i picked up a back issue of o magazine, one of the current quintessentially authoritative journalistic voices of the modern north american woman.
it was the december 2003 issue, and i was intrigued by the title of the article: "the halo effect" which promised to examine the condition of 'being too good' for one's own good.
the preamble contained the phrase "self-sacrificing" and i was immediately zapped by that standard jw buzz-word and the article's suggestion that being "self-sacrificing" is not all it's cracked up to be.. you can read the article here: stop seeking approval.

The conclusion is such a powerful and accurate test, it's overcoming the fear of rejection or non-approval to try it.
Some of us fear that if we begin voicing disagreement, we'll lose our friends and family. If this is true for you—if these people accept you only because you agree with everything they say—they're not friends or family, they're just customers from whom you regularly obtain your favorite drug. This is a thoroughly unhealthy situation.
Next time someone voices an opinion that contradicts your own, don't play dumb. Voice your thoughts and see what happens. At worst, you'll weaken a bond that wasn't authentic. At best, you'll find that you can disagree with someone and still be loved. This is the way to build genuine relationships instead of tentative, bartered alliances based on the currency of compliance. -

What kind of JW response do you think I'll get?
by Bubbamar inin my moms last letter she stated that me, my sister and her should all just "move on" meaning put our hurts and anger behind us and work towards having better relationships.
however, in the same letter she clarified that disfellowshipping is "discipline" and she intends to continue shunning me.
so i wrote back asking her what "moving on" means for her.

Walter your really on a roll
But they have to realize that I have an equal right to shun them. If they choose to publicly speak ill of me, they have no right to expect that I won't respond in kind. If they want to express their beliefs to me, they have to realize that I will disagree with them. And I won't be nice about it; I'll use the same sort of language they use in their own condemnations of other religions, governments, and people. They call other religions whores - then I call them whores.
They need to learn that they're just like everyone else - their words and actions carry consequenses just as ours do
fleaman..I know from all your past posts that you have no love for the troof or it's regulations. Shunning is not a productive or mature way of handling any situation, most likely it's why the WTBTS clings to it.
