I like Wha Happened?'s idea about Charlie being rescued from Rose's place where he's been her prisoner for a year. Priceless! I bet Charlie Sheen would come back in a New York minute. Maybe he'd even behave this time. The show needs him...

What a shame - but fortunate for the org
by Mickey mouse inas referred to in this thread, ray franz's book crisis of conscience, arguably the most important book for ex jws to read - has been out of print for months but is available from amazon at $100+.. internet explorer, probably the most commonly used internet browser - is not compatible with this website.. most young jws probably access the internet via a smartphone but good luck trying to post to this website on one.. .

Even though these books may be found on pirate websites, it is in fact STEALING from Ray's widow to get a copy that way. Anybody who has a computer and can afford internet service can afford to BUY a PDF version. They're certainly inexpensive enough, and that's the only honest way to download a copy.

Not only is she blowing smoke about the reason she needs to fly to New York, she is being dishonest by using sick days to do so.
Using sick days for anything other than their intended purpose is tantamount to stealing from and lying to her employer. Kinda negates any "brownie points" she might have received from being so "spiritual," don't you think?

I, too, would like to thank everyone for their help on using the iPhone and Ipad to access JWN. After work requirements and email, JWN is my most frequently visited site.
Particular kudos to C of C for his invaluable advice. Using Atomic Web set to identify itself as Firefox 5 works great! Pure genuis! Thanks, friend.

I have personal knowledge of one case in northern MS about 20 years ago. A young single sister confessed to an affair with a married brother. He denied it vehemently. She was disfellowshipped on the basis that it had continued for some time and she either was guilty as claimed or was a liar trying to cause someone else problems. Either way, she deserved to be disfellowshipped (according to them). Nothing happened to the brother at the time because there was no "proof." Later, it turned out he was having yet another affair, but this time there was proof. His wife divorced him, but he was disfellowshipped. I don't know if he ever confessed to the original affair.
I am long gone from there (and the Truth®), so I don't know whatever became of him. The young sister finally figured out everything she had been taught and believed all her life was a lie and she just left. Good for her!

Hey Cofty,
That story is true. The pilot was Jim Lovell, astronaut of Apollo 8 and 13 fame. His cockpit lights actually shorted out. He didn't turn them off intentionally. But it was seredipitous. He had not been able to contact the carrier and was not sure of either his or its actual position. With the lights out, he could now see the phytoplankton trail caused by the carrier's propellers and follow it "home."
He tells this story in detail in his book "Lost Moon." Enjoy.
Regards,

The WT, the Millerites and Orson Wells
by Aussie Oz init is well known of course that ct russell was a fan of william miller and the mans teachings.
indeed his colaboration with millerite nelson barbour cemented russells love of all that was millerism.. i recall some time ago a thread wherin it was mentioned that fred franz had a library stuffed full of millerite books and so on, and that he himself modeled his own style of address and writing after william miller himself.. with that sort of impact on the doctrines and teaching methods adopted by the society at that time, i am also wondering about orson wells book 1984.. could it be plausable that this book also has its place on the shelves of some locked away private library?
published in 1949, the wt leadership has had plenty of time to study the methods of the novel and try them out.

Hey Oz,
Not to take away from your point, but the author of 1984 was George Orwell, not Orson Wells. Easy to get the two names confused, though. Pretty similar sounding...
Plenty of weird stuff going on in the Borg. Not much would surprise me about the goings on there...

How many JWs does it take...
by TheWanderer in...to change a light bulb?
actually.... ...i have no idea.
what's your best punchline for it?.

It takes about 8 million (however many JWs there are). Seven to change the light, and all the rest to stand around talking about how bright the new one is and how much it was needed and how it was changed at just the right time.

Funny you should bring that up. As a matter of fact, the Society used to teach that urination and defecation would no longer be necessary once humans achieved perfection. Perfect bodies would completely use whatever nutrients were taken in and there would be no need for elimination. Somewhat along the lines of believing that blacks would all turn white as they approached perfection. Are you kiddin' me???
Like many of their other teachings (then and now), they were the products of a few jerks sitting around dreaming up their own ideas of how things "oughta be," without any Scriptural basis at all. So many of their earlier beliefs were idiotic and embarrassing, it's no wonder the Society discourages perusing older publications, or heaven forbid, the internet (!), and anybody who does so is automatically suspected of having apostate leanings.
