Hi Barb,
Yes, you do. I will be flying out of your airport in two weeks. Going to Dan's convention and spending about two and a half weeks roaming California with my son and Dannie from near Columbus. We intend to visit Lost Wages also.

does anyone know of any good rumors about specific members of the wt governing body?
Insider said:
The FACT that anyone actually clicked on the title "Governing Body member rumors" and replied to it, reveals that all who did were curiously interested in such. There's a FACT.The reason I read the thread was, I was wondering if there was a rumor that any governing body member may have become a Christian.

hardly anyone has an honest opinion about anything of importance that wasnt craftily pre-packaged and handed to them by someone else whose job it is to craft public opinion.
the intention of the media is to present the illusion of impartially informing, all the while pandering to prejudice and ignorance in order to persuade to a particular point of view.
datelines presentation of the watchtowers child abuse issue was a case study in the black art of media propaganda.. from the very beginning of the presentation dateline was intent on giving the public a negative impression of jehovahs witnesses by portraying us all as oddball crackpots whose religion revolves around the doctrine that we dont celebrate birthdays and that all non-believers are possessed by the devil and that we want them all to die.
You Know, you said:
He is the one who hid the fact that he was secretly recording a conversation that the trusting brother would naturally assume was between two elders.I was told a long time ago that anytime you call bethel, or one of the WT departments, your conversation will be recorded. I believe it is true, since I have called The WT at times and always heard a "beep" on a regular basis. That beep is required by law when you are recording someone on the telephone (at least in some states)
I was never told "we are recording you" I just happened to have heard that was what the beep meant.
I wonder if the bethelite on the other end of the telephone was the only one who ever heard my conversation? What do you think?

i just wanted to take a moment and thank you for providing this forum.
of course, i realize that it's intended purpose is to serve as a stumbling block for jehovah's witnesses, yet at the same time it also serves as a platform for me to defend my faith in a public forum.
over the years i have appreciated the opportunity provided by this and other forums to confront and refute various challenges that apostates have presented to our precious faith.
You Know,
I know this thread is directed to Simon, but if you do not mind I would like to make a small comment.
Even though it is very rare that I agree with you, I am glad you are a part of this forum. I think Simon has set it up as a discussion of ALL thinks concerning JWs. I am glad to read your views even though as I said I almost always disagree with you.
MHO.

g'day cyber junkets.. now this personality test is good, very good.. i would be very interested to see the results from most posters.. i came up a type 5, the investigator.
so accurate.. i can see simon as type 9, englishman as the definative 7, alan .
fur-burger is a natural 8 ( with a definite twist of 6 ), princess is a 4 through and through and naeblis, well....he thinks he is a 3 but he is really a hardcore 5.. well was i close ???.
I was looking to see who else was a number 4. Since there are no other fours, at least yet,I guess it must be true, I am an individualist.

jesus christ said these telling words.
and he supplemented them by also saying that his followers would be persecuted as he was persecuted.
jesus's disciples were persecuted in the first century by a bitter wave of roman persecution.
non_trias_theos, You say:
So today. People may persecute jws and make up stories about them or exaggerate shameful acts that do occur in jw camp. But we expect this kinda treatment. We will rise in spite of it.If persecution is a sign of being in the "real truth" then I suggest ex-jws are in the real truth.
I don't think there are any more persecuted people in the US than ex-jws. And, that persecution is practiced BY Jehovah's Witnesses. Your statement (above) about making up stories about them, and exaggerating, fits exactly what the Jehovah's Witnesses do to ex-jws. AND that persecution is SPONSORED by the Watchtower Society and also practiced by the WT Society. Something was once said about "the pot calling the kettle black"
