  was doing some searching today and came across this information:.

  http://www.state.nj.us/dobi/acrobat/lhsplist.pdf -- a permit was issued by the state of new jersey to the wtbts on nov. 14, 2002 allowing them to set up a charitable gift annuity.

  the way you can tell this is for a cga is to go to the website's site map and then click on the charitable annuity special permits link.

  Has anyone ever actually met MINIMUS?

  i've been having several outbreaks of conspiracy theories lately and a wierd one that came to mind was if anyone has ever met minimus in person before?

  think about it....what better way is there to gather intel on a rather large group of ex and current jw's than to ask detailed questions on every facet of your life?

  typically, someone that has over a few thousand posts has been to a meetup of some sort, even a small one.

  Time to come out?

  for years i've been wondering if i should do this or not.

  there are only a handful(ok, maybe more than a handful) that know who i am and what i look like and who i used to post as.

  let's just say that i got my start here on simon's board roughly a day or two after it opened and was associated with h2o even further back.

  Circuit Overseer visit ---- Why do we have to change the meeting schedule??

  by catchthis in

  this has always been a personal thorn in my side for years upon years.

  let's say that your meetings took place on monday-wednesday and that other congregations had the tuesday-thursday slot.

  let's also assume that you just happened to go to the mon-wed meetings due to personal circumstances and that tue-thur meetings were not possible.. now here comes da man on his bi-yearly visit.

  The Apprentice - Watchtower version

  by catchthis in

  1. jw

  being a fan of the tv show the apprentice, i love to "play along" to see if my ideas would work with what the teams are tasked to accomplish.

  many times, their ideas are totally off.

  other times, the executives they are tasked with providing a presentation to feel that they had 'hit a home run.

  i noticed the website below here on the google ads and wanted to see what type of people were advertising themselves on it.

  lo and behold, someone doesn't think too highly of the ones who are looking for a mate!

  just read the "general information" section.

  2/3rd's vote to elect a new Pope, sounds familiar

  by catchthis in

  yesterday, my wife told me about a comment someone mentioned at the meeting on sunday.

  supposedly, they said something about how the cardinals elect a new pope with a 2/3rd's majority vote and that was funny considering the new pope will be next to god himself.

  if god knew who he wanted, shouldn't the vote end up at 100%?

  DF'd/DA'd, Death, Resurrection --- Future new light?

  by catchthis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  years ago when i first started to question the organization and i knew at some point in time that i would eventually da myself or be df'd for some reason, i always wondered if my family would, in time, accept me once again after shunning me.

  the 1995 generation thread brought this back up in my mind and i was interested to know if anyone else used this same line of thinking.. for the sake of those who still have jw relatives, let's put on their thinking caps for a minute.

  jw's understand that just about everyone that has ever lived upon the face of the earth and have died, will be resurrected.

  April Fools joke on JW wife that will land you in hot water

  i was sitting here at work thinking what could i do to my other half this morning.

  my brainstorming concluded that i should repent of my sins and make a request to get reinstated.

  instead of calling her at home, i figured she was probably in front of her computer doing bills and such so i shot off an email.
