  Most of us were members of "The TRUTH". Or, as some here state, "The truff."

  When I realized it wasn't the truth I tried to run a vehicle into a tree (unsucessfully) - it is quite a shock to leave, and still believe one day... or things will change in Crooklyn... or he'll gather the remnant... it is quite a shock to realize each day for itself after the pie in the sky falls.

  As Gumby said - "being honest."

  It's so great not having to kiss the asses of old and ignorant power brokers.

  As well as the hookah, good rums, and porneia with someone special.

  New KM, With New Procedures!

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  in the newest kingdom ministry publication comes the information of how they're combining the 'no blood' card and the 'health proxy' document into only one card.. the card will have pertinent information according to the region where the person lives.

  publishers will only need to change this card if personal information changes, otherwise one can keep the card forever instead of the nonsense of having to fill one out at the beginning of each year.. the wtbts sure is simplifying matters as time goes by.

  good!!!

  XQs-

  Sounds like if someone needed a place to fade, you have a great environment. A person could tell their family they're going to XQs congo, and nobody would ever say yes or no whether you go.

  Maybe you could print up some bootleg blood cards and distribute them and we could flash them for discounts at the local beer hall.

  There was a brother, former cop, who became an elder. He would be called on to pray, and two brothers could tell by what he said and what he didn't pray for (forgiveness) that he was guilty of something. So somehow (followed him and snooping) they caught him having an affair, and the circuit said that even the prayers can be examined by Spirit and revealed.

  since you hijacked jez's thread, i borrowed her words for the title of your very own "welcome back brownboy" thread.. this can be fun.

  everybody can ask you questions about bible prophecy and such, seeing as you and him are so close and all.

  oh, waitsatan misled you...eh?

  Come on BrownBoy let the Rabbit know, "have you told the elders about the 300 posts?" As far as the prophetic interpretation, leave it to Swedenborg and his "left handed Bibles." Gracias.

  Strange disfellowshippings!

  by AK - Jeff in

  a few years back a 'sister' in our hall was df'd for marrying a disfellowshipped man.

  they were both free to remarry 'scripturally' - in their late-middle years of life.

  i asked one of the local pharrasies why?

  I had a middle aged male bible study and a sister got friendly with him on the drive home from a meeting, slipped him her telephone number; they both were lonely. Three days later I got a call from the elders wanting to know when I was seeing my bible study next. Seems like her son called the elders and she had been shacking up with my bible study and they wanted to talk with her and him. He pulled the phone out of the wall and the two of them humped until the elders arrived. They didn't answer the door and drank more. She was disfellowshipped and reinstated the next year. He stopped his study and pined for her. I was "spoken to" about bible studies and worldly people. I hope they got together one day.

  Love to rent one of the pads on my way from Holland. Think they'd mind me bringing my own hookah and a few cases of Jim Beam, German white wine gives me the runs.
