hello all, i've been reading your site for a couple of years now, and have found, for the most part, it to be very helpful.
i must say, at first i was very "scared" at what i might find, but contrary to what i grew up learning, there is a "wealth" of information outside of the watchtower organization.
i haven't attended meetings for about two years now, and like many i've read about, have spent many hours researching, telling myself "i'm not wrong for searching", and doing more research.
EF-
Excellent! I would add one more to the roster for room mate - Gordon from 'The Lord's Witnesses', Scholar, and BrownBoy. I wonder if that triumvirate would encompass Nicholson at the State Hospital. I would sign up for 30 days to see surreal again. You in for this one?

Been watching these posts for a while. I read Hebrew and Greek, and I truly detest any man calling Fred Franz a genius and greatesT of all scholars. The bastard was a madman, a lunatic, a false prophet, and full of crap. That man was a menace to the Holy Scriptures.
Scholar think twice! We can't follow your reasoning.
at least the rural folk had the green and blue they had always known, their fall cushioned by the dewy grass, onlookers nothing but nature itself.
there is a kind of fulfillment to go that way, to die as one lived, the soil's fool, in the softness that humanity craves at the end.
the city dwellers had no such comfort at the last; their end would be filthy and harsh, we knew it, we who had seen the wickedness that their spaces had bred.
Amen! These men are murderers and rather confident in their butchering style. Mad bastards and lunatic seers running a gold mine into the ground. Their flocks are spread on every "internet hill."
early christianity: what was it like?
did the early christians ask the public for donations to fund their ministry or other works?.
did the early christians encourage believers to distribute communications from the apostles and older men in jerusalem to the public as a primary part of their ministry?.
Mind you, the apostles had the gifts and were not passing out tracts, so obviously the "numbers swelled." The apostles had real power, not DF decrees from micro-managers, bozos, and common goons. The apostles taught, these bastards "lord over." The Pharisees were a step above the WTS (that's piss poor). These bastards have always used Armageddon better than the Inquisition used HELL.
i just got a sneak peek at a letter to all congregations.
it will be read at this week's service meeting.
i can't remember it word for word but the gist is: .
Maybe the congos should recommend that the millions sent to the WTS be invested in Phillip Morris stocks, like they already have made millions off.
KILROY - loved the comment. Then again, who would buy slaves who were self important, holier than thou, and disgustingly lazy/ugly?
looking back at all the sacrifices that you had to make to be a jehovah's witness, which one was the most unreasonable??
?
Too busy pioneering as my "fleshly brother" cried out in pain (I was too busy with the congo activities) and then killed himself.

we have a visitor to these fair isles, during the week after englishman's bbq .

Van is the Man! 'No teacher, no guru', I heard after it was too late. Van's bass player once played with a former musician I collaborated with (Forrest McDonald) - check out his web site. 'Astral Weeks' was a bright light in music when everybody wanted a sound like the Stones. Then again reading Jack Kerouac changes one from a ripoff like Mick Jagger to a poet like Van. Love the tune 'Wavelength.' G-L-O-R-I-A.

the lws claim to be the successors to the jws!
they have their own chronology, disfellowshipping rules, etc.
Don't worry about trousers sweetheart, we're almost home baby! Look at this...
The Second presence was restarted at 3 pm PST on Sunday 10th in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. Jesus is again present in the flesh. Which has got to be a good thing so Praise Jah you people!
You can dance naked now!

But it is the Good for nothing slave of Matthew 25, (GNS2) the present administration of the Watchtower, that placed the Abomination themselves in their own temple on 2004Elul14. We are not sure precisely what this Abomination is, but we do know that it ends the constant feature of the Watchtower which was continuous true worship, and we know that it is in place 1290 days before Armageddon. (it must be an unclean thing in the temple, and this presumably is the outsourcing of priestly duties to non sanctified brothers, who are unclean in the spirit, dead judicially). So the two criteria of Matthew 24, that are necessary for the Great Tribulation to start were met on 2004Elul14, 2004September1/2 (the abomination was placed and many mothers all over the world got really worried for their kids as result of the media coverage of the Beslan atrocity).
These people are wonderfully mad! Another bottle of ether and rum and I'm ready to join. Somebody please get me a stack of tracts for banging the doors and street witnessing.

i remember in the kh i went to there was always at least one desperate singleton who would sniff around the single women particularly the ones which were his own age...he was mid 40s i seem to believe...never had a girlfriend and would have married anybody who wouldve had him.
there was no real harm in him...just lonely i expect but i think he made most women skwirm.. what about you...did your hall have its own resident 'single sister stalker'?
At one of the congos I went to we had a sister who would attack visiting brothers, bible studies, and relatives of meeting attendees. The assemblies were her feasting times. 3 kids from a former marriage and a mean temper - wonder if she's still looking for the perfect dub.
