side by side, on the grocery store magazine display, i saw two celebrity magazines with cover stories about scientology.
i purchased both.
i find it interesting, how similar this "church" is to the organization of the watchtower.. i thought i'd share some of the interesting quotes from the articles, which are both mostly about leah remini's new book, troublemaker: surviving hollywood and scientology.
I've been keeping up with Leah Remini from the beginning of her TV program. Since L. Ron Hubbard started all of this back in the early 1950's, I can't help think that he took JW doctrine and beliefs and twisted a lot of it to fashion his own religious cult.
Has anyone else noticed the similarities?
I thought the signs were taken down with all the property being sold or waiting to be sold.
chapter 19.
“look ma no hands”.
by the time the summer rolled around they decided to put me on the dryers.
Thanks for the stories. I am thoroughly enjoying them.
in the spirit of some great life stories i've read on here i'd like to share mine.
sitting comfortably?
good, then we shall begin.. i was born into a jw family in 1984. dad, mum, two sisters (twins) and two brothers.
Thank you. Waiting for the next post!

Being from Pittsburgh originally, our conventions were in Cleveland at the Convocation Center. That was 20 years ago. Is the same place used or is there another venue now? We used to stay at a motel in Westlake.
i live in nyc and dad jw called me crying about a hall that has about 500 jws going down to 2 congs
Ummmm........no such thing as 500 members in a crong.(congregation AKA Kingdom Hall).
the conversation soon got to spiritual subjects, this elder is company man all through and side kick well he's learning the ropes.
bang mentioned snake antivenin, blood factions, then big geoffrey jackson saying presumptuous, then vin toole in the arc saying he had never heard of theocratic warfare.

Chook was bitten by a brown snake. One of the most deadly in the world.

not my convention so no details..
I can't remember how many conventions I attended in Cleveland. Last one was in 1997. Since I lived in the Pittsburgh area, that's where we were assigned.
it's been 9 years and it would be nice to get them off the internet.
