WBTS- Choose Absolute Truth or the Search?
by alliwannadoislive ing e lessing 1729 - 81. german dramatist and critic.
if god were to hold out enclosed in his right hand all truth, and in his left hand just the active search for truth, though with the condition that i should always err therin, and he should say to me: 'choose!
' i should humbly take his left hand and say 'father!

"WT = Occult Org" due to oaths & ...
by alliwannadoislive inhmm ... all this freemasonry posting has sent me off on a trail.
found a bit of a spooky site at http://www.newnetizen.com/globalelite/bloodlines/russellbloodline.htm which has page after page about the watchtower and especially c.t.russell.
they reckon he is from a long line of russells who were masons.

DA or not DA or continue slipping away ?
by alliwannadoislive infor weeks now, i've been trying to put together a disassociation letter - incidently, it's you lot that have put me up to this - and it's nearing completion but i'm feeling nervous about sending it.
the fast approaching christmas celebration thingymajig is kinda egging me on as i want to blaze christmas lights everywhere and not feel nervous about the possibility of a visit from the po who drops the mags in to me fortnightly (i'm generally 'not in' ... ahem ...).
i would appreciate your for's and against's - to either convince me to go ahead, or to think again and stay the execution ...

help - orwellian 'DOUBLETHINK' kicking in
by alliwannadoislive inreading the watchtower 'readers ask' article (which so clearly is not a reader asking) about 'should we pray for disfellowshipped ones' and i had the horrible feeling of 'doublethink' kicking in - twisted reasoning trying to take me over and allow me to accept the incorrect thinking.
isn't this like a conditioned disgusting habit ?.
is this posting like i'm taking it to the elders ?.

Fred Franz Picture in Watchtower Nov 1, 2001 ! ! !
by alliwannadoislive inbrowsing through the watchtower of 1st november and i was reading the story of russell kurzen.
on page 23, there's a picture of him with albert schroeder, eduardo keller and fred franz.. your thoughts on this plz - is it a softening of attitude ?
i would have thought it (policy wise) would have been inappropriate for them to, in a sense, acknowledge mr franz as a 'brother'.

'You Know' the Devil's Advocate ...
by alliwannadoislive inhey c'mon - doesn't anyone get the joke here - 'you know' is the 'devils advocate' - he is no more an active jw than any of us .... i have a similar 'alter-ego' on a work-based site i visit - call myself 'stzak' and i am a self righteous overtly religious bigot !
... does this sound familiar ?
- my guess is that 'you know' is an apostate, and is having a fantastic time winding everyone up and ... gulp ... we swallowed it ...

"Kingdom Hall" Sit-Com ... add a char...
by alliwannadoislive inyes - it's friday night - it's peak-viewing time and a brand new sit-com is about to hit the small screen .... set in the local kingdom hall, all your favourite characters are here - wacky, wonderful, cuddly, humourous and also the nasty ones who (by the end of the half-hour slot) get their come-uppance .... how to play .... take inspiration from your fave classic sit-com and mix it up with some real-life person you have known and loved and maybe not loved at all .... eg ... father jack, from the classic 'father ted' - stands at the back of the hall with a mike, ignoring all the eager hands waiting to answer up and instead shouts out 'feck!
' and 'arse' ... .
awh, go on ... go on ... go on ... go on ...
