watchtower sues website .
no (i believe) they threatened to sue him for lost revenue because he printed their material for free,
but they are non profit.. hence no case.
i think watchtower observer is down due to hosting that blew out $$$ wise which ive been meaning to email kent about....
also it is very time consuming for the Big Kahuna who has been working hard for years, only a stubborn viking would keep at them soooo long. nice work
I know he has all the info saved tho so us younger crew should get together to get it back up. power to the people.
i got the hosting covered
Simo if ive said too much please remove this post.

don't jws who say they are the only true christians want to know christ?
blondie,
you must have quite an archive of 'Comments You Will Not Hear' is it all on the web or just posted on jwd.
hey y'all,.
i posted a few months back that my first novel, "what a sista should do" had been published and is now available in stores.
my very first booksigning was in june at a well known bookstore in our area.
Wow sounds like the signing was a big deal, hope it makes you some coin.
The elders treated it like a big deal too, just shows that despite good intentions they are truly not qualified for their responsibility. Thats sad about your sister and your kids so sad i bet the elders would cringe if they ever become exjws and realise what they had done. At the moment they feel they are doing gods will, very frustrating.
Hope all works out and your sister comes round before too much time is lost.
Cheers
young people ask - how should i deal with my doubts?
awake: april 2002. .
we live in a world of many philosophies and many world views and young christians might be tempted to have doubts about the loving guidance set out by the faithful and discreet slave.
I thought you were making that article up (or adding to it a bit) I didnt think theyd be that blatant, so thats actually what they said about the 'newspaper article' from satan to mislead, what a mind control cult. Im so glad im out and thinking for myself.
Ive read what the UN printed and the JWs letters to reply and jws holds no water its just them believing they cant be wrong, oh man thats heavy.
i gotta get my fam out.
i can't drive, mow the yard, wash the car, change oil, work on the house, lift anything, all a part of recovery from the operation.
it's driving me crazy.
tvs lost it's interest, computing isn't keeping my interest, can't have sex, drink alcohol.
I bet you cant wait for the new world where sickness pain death blah blah blah
Go sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
not an apostofest, just a beer and a sandwich.
is anyone up for it?
Ill have beer and sandwiches hold the sandwiches.
I work in central london so maybe a weekend
lifes a garden is now heretic crumpet
i have been thinking about this because of another post where the question asks have any of us ever been blackmailed to stay in the watchtower organization.. no, i won't say i was blackmailed; however, after i wrote my note of disassociation, the congregation overseer wanted to visit me in my home with two other elders.
i repeatedly said no, that i would not allow them to chastise me in my own home.
therefore, all of my conversations were over the phone with the overseer.
Of course they feel they are right cos they believe it or have told themselves they believe it. Its heartless but they can justfy it by saying its the 'truth'. They can give you reasoning on why disfellowshipping is loving, I know cos i would recite it to my worldly friends when theyd get pissed seeing what they were putting me thru.
A JW can justify disfellowshipping somebody the same way a terrorist can justify suicide bombings. but at the end of the day its goes against human principles and is totally wrong.
and warped.
So glad Im out now, I guess disfellowshipping has 1 good side effect. it lets that individual see how disgusting it is.
not an apostofest, just a beer and a sandwich.
is anyone up for it?
I live at amersham and work in london. If i can get there im keen.
let me know when where
i have known some people (i dont' know if it's true or not) [and i am the kind of person that doesn't like to cause trouble] who have said that jehovah's witnesses keep tabs/records on people.
all the things they have done like if they got babtized, personal problems/experiences, arguments they may had with people, and just their general conduct as well.
have any people here found out about a "black book" where they keep records on you?
i mentioned at an 'encouraging' meeting with the elders (just a routine visit) that i thought i could improve my drinking habits, he said its a disfellowshipping offence and organised a commity hearing. in it he brought up that i had a history of heavy drinking??? i said i didnt, he said yes in your last congregation you had an instance you wanna tell us about that? i was 23 at the time i was baptised at 19 and he was bringing up something that happened when i was 17!! i told him the truth, i was driving, a friend of mine threw up. some one came to the house and saw him and we got a talking to by our parents and an elder... i said this wasnt even me but even if it was it was 2 years before i was baptised and i thought you got washed clean.
it was clear they were just looking for anything. which pissed me off but they were representing Jehovah so i tried to work in with them as best i could, what i didnt think of at the time was how the hell did he know that!! he was new to the area and the elder who sat in with our parents 5/6 years ago had moved interstate so how did this info exist?
i still wonder...
im getting pissed off thinking about it.
