I think it is time all of you met XENU
by Terry in.
http://www.xenu.net/archive/leaflet/xenuleaf.htm
isn't it interesting how easy it is to see the ridiculous in other people's beliefs; but, never in your own?.

Thanks Terry - great post. Can't wait until I reach OT III and get the rest of the tale.
As for Xenu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. He is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and Xenu is still alive today.
Excellent! I'll be praying tonight that the "eternal battery" doesn't fail due to an intergalactic wind storm. Then again, some of the garbage we believed... 1918/1919, Cedar Points, Da Judge, and of course Russell's pyramids and Fred's 'Tales of the Cosmos.'

Internet Dating......has anybody tried it?
by JV inwell seeing as my social skills are severly limited or it's just really really hard to meet women i thought i'd get everybody's opinion on "netdating".
i think it's worth a shot, i think it gives you an opportunity to meet people that you'd never meet in the real world, well it's 2 am and i'm bored, i guess i'd better hit the sack now

I have never internet dated but my ex-wife (she's "committable") has each year a few guys going wild, then targets one. One poor bastard from Oklahoma City met up with her and in the end she drove her truck into his kitchen, hit his car repeatably, and tried to run him over. She purports to be one of four people to these guys, and has different looks/pictures for each of them. Her name is Crystal, hope you never meet her.

A controlled zombie for 32 years
by JohnHag inthats right a controlled zombie-how could i have so stupid?
how could i give up my father & mother-how could i give up all my friends?when i look in the mirror i see an old man that is no longer young--and they still are not out of my life--they still come by and leave magazines---i dont want to be mean--but they just dont get it--after reading about the 2 books by ray franz and reading diane wilson:s book---there probably is a few more bomb shell books that will come out--maybe we havent heard anything yet--who knows whats around the corner lol..you might be in for a shock-i heard that in the hall i used to go to no longer announces the attendance--could it be a trend that will go throughout the world?
i have even heard of kingdom halls beeing sold-also in their new book- they wont be having all these investigations of the flock--they will just announce from the plat form that john doe is no longer a jehovah witness---that is better--it saves a lot of stress and nonsense--maybe the jerks are doing something that makes sense for a change--that will break my heart to say i am no longer a jehovah witness----thanks hag

John-
Life can begin anew today for you and everybody else on this board who feels the regrets that Luna2 does regarding children raised in that madhouse called the WTS. John - my mother (non JW) always said, where there's life there's hope - no need to look back, be thankful for being able to think on your own today without a JC asking questions or a few elders snooping.
peace and blessings

As Evil Force said, spike the Shasta every 15 minutes and:
Bring a gas grill, cooler, and boom box and start setting up during the drama.
Take a few fake falls down the steps and just lie there moaning - make sure they smell the alcohol on your breath.
Bring a friend, or 2, get into a brawl during the main talk shouting obcenities about the WTS rendition of John 1.1.
Stand up, scream out, and start speaking in tongues.
Walk on stage in a zoot suit and ask who is presenting the award for salesman of the year.
Just start pissing on the wall and tell the on-lookers that Joshua left one man to piss against the wall.
Bring your birds and cats, bring your crazy neighbor, bring the lonely derelict, bring a party.
This thread has made my mind up: I can't wait for the next D.C. - anyone have the Canadian schedule? This will be fun, maybe I'll tour a few of them, like years ago going on tour with the Dead. After 2 or 3 DCs I should be able to go up on stage and give the damn talks. Life is looking up! I'll take an attendant job, and maybe clean up after the sessions, fellowship with the flock, and have plenty of pictures and stories for everyone.

Hi you all.
by chrissy innew to the forum & simply introducing myself.
i've enjoyed reading some of the posts here.
it is so nice to know these forums exist for poor ex-jw girls that suffer from post tramatic sheltered-from-the-rest-of-the-free-world syndrome.

2005 Convention Lowlights
by inbyathread inthought i'd start a thread for those who have attended the 2005 dc.
you don't have to say what the releases were.
i'm more interested in how the talks or if the talks highlighted the r&f to blindly follow the organization.

Richie-
Get some pictures of the faithful guarding the Donation Boxes, the apostates outside, and the Bethel heavy there for giving legitimacy to an unholy convocation. Pictures of the frazzled mothers with 3 or 5 kids, and brothers about to lose it in public are always good too. You may become a photographer before you're done. Loved the pics of Barber in Brooklyn, drooling and farting. Excellent work!

Elder Criticizes Going To Get Together If A Worldly Person Is There!
by minimus inmy mom told me that an elder said in his public talk on sunday that we need to stay separate from the "world".
evidently, the buzz is that there was a part being given by an unbelieving husband that has been recently attending meetings with his wife.
the issue was not that this man invited most of the congregation and they went (including the elder and his family) but that one fellow unbelieving husband who is being studied with did not get invited because he was "worldly and still smokes".

Loved this line:
"number of people are pissed that the uninvited man and his Witness family were hurt........"
This is somewhat new, maybe this will begin a trend. Then again with the Inquisition in full bloom, just hand out reproofs to the whole lot and that will give back control to the BOE. Beat up the flock and that will stop the bleeding. Piss off more people and that will improve the loyalty and morale. Sounds like the call for a congregation Special Talk on associations.
