Are you sure the state isn't run by J.W.'s .. they baptize them 12 and under.

the florida supreme court has ruled that as long as they can pay for it, children as young as 12 can receive elective plastic surgery without parental consent.
sound far fetched?
not really, considering that the florida courts have indeed ruled that 12 year olds can get an abortion without parental consent.

cnn is reporting that saddam's sons, oudai and qusay are confirmed to be dead.
.
It was just on the radio that they are testing DNA samples as we speak to make sure they are the two sons of Sadam or not... Hold tight then.

i was reading "run dont walks" topic on "when the governing body dies off then what happens?
" great post.. what we need to do, since there are alot of just "faded" members of the j.w.
organization here with us is this... next year, all you just faded ones, (the ones not disfellowshipped or disassociated) go to the memorial and "drink the wine and eat the unleavened bread"... .. brilliant isnt it.
Hey shotgun.
Ye..ah.. Kind of gross replacing the wine with blood, but a good laugh at the thought of it.
I Liked your thought about the "whole donation scandal and what they are doing in third world nations...I didn't know that.. and I'm really mad at them now... I was mad and now I'm stomping mad.
The magic pill... ooohhhh! if it was only possible. you could slip one in sleeping beauty's drink. Daydreaming is good. It's healthy and helps one's mind to escape.
Hey Latin Assassin from Manhattan
WOW!!! you have got it all layed out, Man. I think you have been thinking about this before.
#2 Create material that exposes the failings of the WTS on all fronts.... That's do-able isn't it?
There are so many eloquent writers on this forum, that I'm sure they could write it up.
#5 develop a mass mailing in communities frequented by J.W.'s. That's do-able.
I think we may have something here!! Something worthwhile.

Do you think a phone call to local papers would Help.. or writing one letter with 10 copies to send to local government.
your other thought I liked was "minimum involvement could be to send one well written letter.
I remember sending ONE well written letter to the government in Malawi back when persecution of the JW there was going on. If we couldn't write a letter, then one (a form type letter) was provided for us to send. Again, couldn't one of our member on this forum give us an example of how and what to write in it. I'd send some. not a problem. I am disfellowshipped, what else can they do to me? I already lost my family.

I suppose your right, of the "faders" who drank the wine and ate the bread" would be thought of as nut cases.
But, on the second hand .. look at the upset it would cause in so many congregations.. Think about how much upset this would cause for them. Nice THOUGHT TO ME! Also, alot of ones who are attending and going in service who don't believe are on this site too... would they be thought of as a nut case.. not necessarily.

i have been on this site many times and i didn't decide to post anything until this past weekend.

I can't tell you how glad I am that you posted that...I AM GLAD YOU POSTED THAT!.. It has built me up and made me feel better... the part about the 3 elders... was magnificently said..and made sense, too.
Look forward to reading your further postings.

if there was someone you were crazy about who went back to associating with jw's again and they asked you to come back too, only because to live dividedly for the rest your life would be just too hard and awkward.
keep in mind your role would be very limited, few meetings a month, couple hrs service a month etc.. i know "if" this was before me i would feel that i would never ever want to come back.
i don't believe it is the truth, can't stand the control among other reasons.
NO!! NO! NO! NO!... let me spell that for you a 'N' and then a 'O'.. spells NO!!
run don't walk is right.. there are 6 million people out there.
JH.. hit it on the head with the word "unconditional"..
What kind of unconditional love is that... if you have to go back in order to get your love..
Seems to be conditions attached to me.

THEN, after that, work your way up to being replacements for the governing body... and we'll be home free.
Gradually we will replace the members of the governing body as they die off.
TA..DA!!! OOOH ... I'm feeling so clever today.
i am presumming that all of the governing body are of the "annoited class" and up there in age.. so what happens when they can no longer look after things, which should be soon, there are no other annoited really to take over.
and 10 years from now all the supposed "annoited ones" will be gone.. whta will become of the governing body ??????.
the watchtower must be a bit worried.. will there be "new light" and make up a new body ?????
run don't walk
I HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT HOW TO CRUMBLE THIS JW ORGANIZATION..

Hey Maxwell
so true about what you said.."But I know that in some areas elders and others in authority continued to discourage college aggressively"..
It was agressive here, .. and still is.
I wouldn't mind reading that in the 1995 wt.. can anybody post it here for me..I'd appreciate reading that for myself.

to anyone who clicks on this thread and cares to post upon it.
i have a few questions for you.
do you value this forum on its ability to keep newbies/recent posters to stick around, therefor: stay.
HEY, RAZORBLADE
What DREW me here?

What KEEPS me here?
For now, since i am new.. I'm am AMAZED that I have found people who think like ME!!!!!!!.
SMACK:
I concur with what smack said. ONce disfellowshipped "No one in will talk to you, and no one out knows what the hell you are talking about"
It's lonely, when you have no one who speaks your language or no one who thinks about things the way you do.
