    How is your house? Jeff



    Hi, Jeff.

    As you enter the great room, everything appears jw squeaky clean. To your immediate right is an oak bookcase that stretches from floor to ceiling. Its shelves are lined with WATCHTOWER and AWAKE! bound volumes, almost 100 192-page WTBTS books, several weathered copies of "The TIME Is At HAND",Proclaimers book, several different language translations of the NWT Bible, several red REVELATION - ITS GRAND CLIMAX! books, etc. Just what you would expect in a "spiritually mature" servant's home.

    Things gradually change as you enter the dining room. There you find a computer running with "BIBLE NAVIGATOR" software, complete with commentaries, dictionaries, bible translations, and the complete works of Josephus and Fox's Book of Martyrs. Next to the computer are the "Knowledge" and "Live Forever" books. Still pretty antiseptic jw.

    Moving on to Honesty's office you find the door locked (and for good reason, I might add).

    Moving cautiously due to the locked door, which has your "radar" sweeping the area directly ahead, you see a pretty blue and white room with appliances.

    Breathing a sigh of relief because your "radar" has gone silent, you boldy step forward.

    Almost immediately you realise that you have ventured into the lair of an apostate because the Christmas card Jeff and his wifey sent Honesty last year is on top of the fridge.

    Clasping your hands over your ears, you remodel Honesty's kitchen in less than a second as you make your escape through the dishwasher and wall.

    It's a good thing you never made it into the Master Bedroom where you would have come face-to-face with CRISES of CONSCIENCE, IN SEARCH of CHRISTIAN FREEDOM, 30 YEARS a WATCHTOWER SLAVE, THE GENTILE TIMES RECONSIDERED and KINGDOM of the CULTS.

    Doesn't make any difference in my case. I could have the Satanic Bible on the living room table, and since the elders don't come around.............................

    I get a kick out of that. We just a few weeks ago took down your card and those of a couple dozen others from JWD. I haven't figured out the correct timing for such things yet - and just enjoyed having them out in plain sight to remind me I was no longer under their spell.

    Bob - you mention Kingdom of the Cults - is this a good read? I have heard of it - seen it in my Christian Book sales brochures, but never read it. Should I order one?

    Blondie - good point about the more liberal witness ideas. I think that is truer now than it used to be, some areas seem to be worse than others.

    Crumpet - you really have left the 'truth' haven't you? Cock ring - sorry not familiar. Is this a piercing job? [ouch]

    Honesty - you have some complex bed time reading there!

    AK Jeff - yes I have! I don;t think I can say what a cockring is here and although you;ve probably been inundated with explanations from other board members by now - I shall drop you a quick discreet pm explaining blow by blow! hehe !

    The last time I catalogued my books, I had over 500 books on Metaphysics and such related topics.

    I do have a full shelf of JW books, but they are mostly 'old light' by now; I like to have the ones I grew up with as reference for such discussions as could arise on JWD and such. By this time eLDER Bust-yer-A$$ will put 2 & 2 together and figure I'm up to no good.

    I'm sure the 500 LD's and 100-odd DVD/CD's would net some disapproval. If nothing else the sheer number of pieces and the number of players would scream 'materialism'.

    And the worst item is the computer portal/gateway to the I-Net: a certain mark of the beast in eLDER Bust-yer-A$$'s book.

    NO, my home is not eLDER-proof by any means. That is why I rely on traps at the front door.
