I've saved the article for later when I'm not so tired, but in scanning I did notice "Republic", not Democracy, for starters. ..."and to the Republic..." Too, CFR, Federal Reserve, International bankers, etc...should be interesting reading.
Thanks for posting

my lost new posting topic made me think of this question:.
if the wts was more normal, how many would have stayed?.
was it in fact the teachings that made you leave?
I was quite young and very immature at the time of my df. Looking back it was the best thing (turning a negative into a positive) because it forced me to look at religion/Bible outside the constraints of my up bringing - thus I'm convinced the Bible is man created for controlling the masses with fear and guilt - no matter what name they call themselves.

due to my dad's occupation, i had the experience to live in various n.e.
states and that meant attending different congregations.
traveling become a way of life for me since childhood even though i spent my early years in beantown.
Yeapers, they are certainly out there. But as BG mentioned, I'm not the doormat today and that just tends to piss those control freaks right off.

i got this in my email today from my zealot jw aunt.
this is the first time she has ever sent me anything of this nature.
she is completely aware than i am not a jw and that i celebrate holidays.
What's funny in an ironic sorta way - how these diehard Christians think everyone should have their "insight" into whatever it is they are against (JW and holidays) yet refuse to listen to issues that has much more impact upon the child...hum, like pedophiles running amuck.
Give me a break, Auntie. But you summed it up...her life has been one big indoctrination. Might as well save your breath for more important things. Just my thought.
Granny; who doesn't like seeing kids eating so much candy, but oh boy! what fun is had by all!
earlier this month, the supreme court of the northwest territories rendered judgement on this case, involving grandparents rights of access to their grandchildren and their right to expose the grandchildren to their religion.
practising jehovahs witnesses.. tracy ewanchuk (respondent): the mother of asia and alecsa.
a second is that he views their exposure to his religious practices as something that is healthy for them.
Thank you for posting this. Whew! I was holding my breath just waiting to read the final outcome. Thanks goodness there are some judges who are concerned about protecting the children.
My opinion only, but how many people really believe that a non-believer in this Christian god and all that entails lack moral character? Of course we desire our grandchildren to develope a healthy attitude towards gratitude, sharing, reaching out a helping hand to our brethen, but when confronted by religious idealogy that surpresses the inquisitive mind - instilling a robotic state of thinking; well, I'm glad that not all children have to go through the process of being mentally enslaved to a man made dogma.

i will not be on much in the next couple of days.
just found out that my aunt passed away yesterday morning, after a long battle with cancer.
she defied doctors diagnosis for years.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I also have an only aunt who is my favorite relative aside from my son and his children of course. We have had many discussions about her passing since she is 74 and not that good of health. Her sister and only sibling is my mother, a JW.
But I know I'm blessed for having a wonderful relationship with my aunt. We usually end up laughing and always agree that we can make the other laugh through the many heartaches. Well, I just wanted too extend my heart felt condolences because losing such a loved one is never easy.
Love,
Granny
a crafter!
i have sequins glued to my forehead, paint on my legs, and various craft articles strewn about me.
i think i may have sewn some ribbion to my shorts...*spins in a circle to check*.
Lady Lee, my thought exactly. And it would have been my mom, too.
I tole paint.
And yes, Jo, do enjoy the holidays!!!!!!! You ain't seen a bargin until you shop in January for the next Christmas. I don't understand all the crazy shoppers that wait until the last minute because I'm GOODand have such organizational skills that waiting until December would make me even more neurotic. I did say "more" right? as in, I'm already neurotic - especially when it comes to my painting. Ssshhhhhhhhhh.

no teaching in the bible is clearer and more consistent than the one which holds women to be inferior to men.
below i show that it is taught that the woman was created from man, for man, that man--not woman--is the glory of god, and that women are not allowed to teach or control man because the woman, not the man, is the one who was deceived by the serpent.
" (1 corinthians 11:2-9) "for a man...is the image and glory of god: but the woman is the glory of the man.
Hey there, Joseph.
Like what you post...
I'm no lover of Christianity, that's for sure. And I'd agree with silverleaf - I could care less what Paul or any of em' wrote. People who need to feel superior, and those who have a need too be dominated. And it ain't always the man doing the dominating either.
Actually I prefer balance in a relationship...I like my man doing the more physically demanding work who is also capable of compassion, tenderness, and letting me have my way. OH, I got one. Lucky me
Attitudes such as expressed in the Bible could very well explain why those guys were not married. Or were they? Oh well, I really don't care about the prophets of old. Give me a Goddess any day.

i'm going to share this quote that what was told to me by a fellow golfer.
"a women is something both evil and good, but to complicated to be understood.
an angel when loving, a devil when mad, a women can make you both happy and sad".
What a nice compliment so early in the moring.
Granny, who likes men, too.
