i'm being hassled by american companies tele-canvassing me from across the pond!
i'm registered with the uk telephone preference service which theoretically stops unwanted canvassing calls.
also, my caller display reveals whether or not a person is witholding their telephone number.
Special K many people do not know it but the WMD Bush is looking for is here in Canada...shhh...Its Poutine..causes clogged arteries and heart attacks.

" The U.S. takes FRAUD very seriously in their court systems, the jail time was significant"I heard they even jailed seven guys in 1918 for fraud but left them out a year later when they figured out they weren't frauds... just nuts.
i knew i had a bright mind, i had been told that my whole life.
she hated going out in service but since i hated it myself we didn't go do the door to door work much.
i look back now and i can't believe how controlling and un-loving that religion had made me.
I had kinda figured you were a smart ass..you and Freddy Brown shoes
The point from myself and my perspective is that I have been unable to tell anyone my thoughts and feelings for a long time now because my family and so called friends are all dubs. Every time I've been open and honest it comes back to haunt me when an elder drops a bomb and repeats word for word what I've shared with someone in confidence....it's to the point now I don't share too much.
You have certainly come along way and hopefully some day soon I'll be able to share without fear of crucifiction or even caring what others say.....but as of right now it still pisses me off when I see someone persecuted for being honest....even if it doesn't bother them.
Anyway...enough of this stupid BS from me....You miserable prick get back to your story.

the august, 2003 issue of electric space craft, a scientific journal, contains an amazing series of images taken from nasa footage included in the tv program, nova: to the moon.
the significance of the images has only recently been noticed.
Jesus, Joseph and Mary...I never thought about the housefly thing like in the Ring, and I watched the clip...huh...my phone is ringing....somebody about seven more days to the end...must have been a JW.

I took a little time to look through your past posts and your attack seems a little out of character....You mention in your posts how the forum is a place of healing for you and for all of us. A chance to open up and express our feelings and try to help each other in different ways.
One of thoses ways is by sharing intimate details about ourselves which often does not paint us as a person we may look back on with much pride, yet that's who we were at the time.
Dave's account is part of his, mine and your healing if you want it to be. I'm sure you noticed all the comments from the forum thanking him for sharing his life so openly. From your years as a Catholic and a Dub especially, you could have applied the scripture to settle a matter privately first.
Why didn't you PM Dave if you had such strong dislike of Chapter 5 or at least not turn it into a rant.
Cheezes Panda please never attend a support group for AA or visit a person who has contemplated suicide because you may mean well but all that comes across is the mean part.
Go back and read your own earlier posts, I want that Panda back.
Dave don't let one person sway you unless that's what you really want.......Remember the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few...I can't remember if I heard that at an Assembly.....OH yeah it was Spock when he shut down the Warp core breach.
i am still around, just dang busy... hope all of you are doing well.... the new bride is keeping me busy (plus summer is "chore time" here in the great white north)
Where is the Great White North?
Congrats on the new bride Hillbilly
got this in an email today.
good question for everyone to think about.
--vm44"if you want to know who really rules and/or controls you and/or your.
VM that could almost be a short e-mail to make a JW think as well.
Take out the society and put Organization instead.
i never thought that i would ever say this again in my life time: it's good to be back in radio!!!
i suppose i will be staying late today because of settling in and all that.
you should see the shambles the former ops man left my office in.
Cool...Robdar
Do you have one of those sexy radio voices too?
What's the radio station, I'll check it out on the Web if it's possible?
this was sent to me when i stopped attending meetings after the "sunday' show went to air in australia regarding sexual abuse of children in the wt organisation, of which one of my children was victim of.
the bold print is my added comment.. .
so, how was the rest of your day yesterday?
(((((((Bliss))))))) from shotgun
Sorry for pain bliss....I know if I ever hear of any JW's molesting children I'll report it to the elders right away...The elders of the Local HELLS ANGELS chapter so they can form a judicial committee.
Was the show in Australia dealing with cases from down under or was it something similar to the Canadian show Fifth Estate and Dateline NBC show?
the more i think about things, the more i believe that i have been, as the society likes to say, "courting sin".
for years, i've questioned internally, the policies of the watchtower, the teachings, the directives of co's and do's and the overall "attitude" of jw's.
mind you, no one would have ever thought that i didn't believe this is without a doubt the "truth".
I think the Halls are full of potential apostates....It's the fear of man that hold them back...same thing that held/holds me back.
Whenever a person has to dismiss his own thoughts and feelings as most in the borg they become potential apostates.
people who've been reading my posts will know i've been trying to get reinstated so i can get back together with my girlfriend/fiance.
the more time goes on, the less i feel able to do that.
all the things i hear from the platform, and the things that elders have said to me just reinforce the fact that i want nothing at all to do with this organisation anymore.
Gadget I have found that for most people the signs are there before they get married it just the rose coloured glasses we often wear which prevent us from seeing them.
If she states she'd rather you sleep with someone else than leave the Org I'd say that's a bad sign...my wife says that about me for the simple fact it would make leaving me easier.
It may be a time to re-evaluate your relationship with her and see if she is not willing to leave the org are you willing to live a lifetime with it......not just a few years or months...a lifetime.
Tough choice Gadget.... but easier made now than later.
