i just had an interesting experience today.
i ran into an old ex-friend that had just been released from prison.
he was sentenced for selling pot to the highschool girls he coached for soccer and for sleeping with underage girls.
Elsewhere?s answer is correct despite it?s sarcasm.
Boy ...are you good.I read Elsewhere's statement too and it just sounded like "The Plain Truth" to me (COG)
But you have rejected Jehover's Organization... that makes you MUCH more unclean than a pervert!
i am curious...what did you all do with your jw books and paraphanalia?
i carted mine around for years and kept them in boxes.
i was like afraid to do anything with them, even though i was sure i didn't want them.
I trashed some and threw some in the fireplace.(kinda suprised they burned so well)
I think if I had to do it over again I would box them up and send them to Randy... www.freeminds.org
He could sell them and make a few bucks to help keep his VERY GOOD SITE up and running.
this is for those of you who sent me a private message saying you dont believe me, your letting your old jw traits come out, you know, not believing things when the facts stare you in the face unless it comes from the org.
maybee you should go back and re join them.. to confirm what happened .
i was at a john denver concert in the uk many years ago, he asked all catholics to stand up, after he got them seated he did the same with church of england, then the same with a couple of other religions, after he asked all jw's to stand up he announced that the concert would not go on untill they had all left and he then left the stage.
I can't believe so many of you don't believe eye witness statements considering so many people have confirmed that this happened, how did you ever have the balls to question and then leave the JW's.
You seem to be a little touchy that anyone would question your statement even though at first you gave very little solid evidence to back it up. Now that you have stated a time and a place I am sure it will be a lot easier for others to independantly search old records,newspapers or "google" it to confirm your words.
Now I have to go and check my balls to see if they are still there...
Why would I or anyone else make something like this up, read his life story he was far from a "sweet man",
You are right...I have NEVER known anyone to make up stories around here esp

I would like to confirm what happened also. It would be helpful if you could be more specific as to the year and the location. I am sure since you were at the concert it would not be too hard to remember more and fill us in.
yep, i was at this website last night composing a reply to add to the comments on a question posed by a poster.
my wife tiptoed into the room and before i could hide what i was doing saw that i was on this website.
initially she lectured me on the danger of associating with apostates.
My wife ALMOST caught me surfing this site. I managed to close down before she saw the screen and kind of hinted around that I was looking at porn and was embarrased.....
I have become much sneakier since then. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/60015/1.ashx
the only wt publication i brutally destroyed was a brand new copy of the revalation book.
i was so frustrated with the religion that i ripped the goddam thing into a hundred pieces.
it was a great way to take my anger out on it.. years later when i was dating this one girl, she had a copy of that same stupid book.
I chucked a lot of them into the fireplace...I was amazed that they burned.. since god was behind them. LOL
I was a little sad finding out the prices on E-Bay you could get for this crap.
Another thing would be to donate to Randy at www.freeminds.org
i remember back in the lat 60's earlier 70's the international conventions.
i thought they were great and we always had dubs from around the world who would stay at our house for the assembly.. .
one of my best memories is about a group of young sisters from the mid wet who had never really known any black people who stayed at my house and stayed in our guest bedroom during the 7 day assembly .. .
Can you imagine us in our dresses on a rollercoaster? It was the most fun I ever had at an assembly.
Yes I can.......

**********************************************************************************************************ambulance services.
I wonder how they would deal with an accident victim who needed blood.
Ambulance services would not give blood due to the problems with compatibility.
They may have problems in the near future if products such as polyheme and hehopure are widely approved.
did anyone else watch the first two parts of auschwitz on p.b.s.
tonight at 9 p.m. ?
i found it very informative.
But *do* you think it was *stupid* of other groups targetted to not renounce their ideology too?
They died for following a flawed cult...They were brainwashed (stupid?) to die for their religious god...much the same as Jim Jones cult or the Branch Dividian. They had a choice to live or follow their cult to their death. The suicide bombers of today follow their ideology also. They are fighting against the "great satan" the USA but I do not commend them for following their religious ideology to their death.
As far as the other groups.
Jews....no choice
Political...no choice
Homosexual...no choice
I see you have strong opinions on this subject as I do also.You will not change my opinions and I am sure you will not be moved to change yours. This is my last post on this subject.
i am just interested in if the books are ''closed'' - or may a vacancy arise if one drops out?
(this is what i understood from my youth) - if so, and a ''new'' anointed emerges, is it ever known who he/she is replacing?
if not, then there could always be those professing to be anointed on earth this all seems a bit vague to me...does anyone understand my ramblings?
I am just interested in if the books are ''closed'' - or may a vacancy arise if one drops out?
Yes indeed...The books are never closed. Most of the 8500 or so "anointed"? now partaking are in fact replacements since the "calling" was closed in 1935 (?) and most were not even born then. There will be in the future replacements for the replacements as many turn to apostacy and drop out.
All this does not matter to the WT.The fact of the matter is that they do not care or keep track personally of those who profess to be annointed.In spite of the"fact" that ALL the remaining annointed are supposed to be in charge of the organization no imput is allowed or tolerated from "annointed" not in the inner circle of power.
