  Public Reproof will be made as scheduled.

  i want to let all of you know that we have decided not to contest the elders decision to publicly reprove us tonight.

  after a lot of thought, we feel in the long run that by letting this go ahead it will only make the elders and the organization look guilty, not us.. the elders have basically ordered us not to talk about what our "crime" is with anyone.

  so we have decided that we will tell others what our crime was not, i.e.

  I have been led to beleive that the color and pocket choice is one part of it, the other being the way it is folded. Is that true?

  I would like to know the code. I would not want to mistakenly put a blue and yellow striped hanky neatly folded in my shirt pocket only to falsly raise the hopes of someone who was looking for a submissive cheese-and-rubber fan.

  LET'S MAKE A LITTLE WAGER

  by You Know in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  perhaps you recall the instance in the bible where samson made a wager with the philistines that they couldnt guess his riddle.

  as it turned out they wheedled the answer out of him by his fiancee, but the point is that they had a wager.

  since the underlying assumption of the apostasy is that we are not living in the last days of this system of things, and that this world is not facing anything remotely like the biblical apocalypse, at least not any time soon, in the spirit of such antagonism, i would like to propose a similar wager.

  "....it's just my normal way of life. Forever on the watch."

  Camera pulls back to show lone figure on the mountaintop, peering into the distance through binocculars.

  Majestic music rises.

  Fade out.

  here's a pot-pourri of quotes and stuff which shows the problem of declaring war, making promises of victory and committing resources....when there is little information about.

  bush pledges to "exact revenge, just as soon as we know who we're exacting revenge against and where they are.

  "america's enemy, be it osama bin laden, saddam hussein, the taliban, a multinational coalition of terrorist organizations, any of a rogue's gallery of violent islamic fringe groups, or an entirely different, non-islamic aggressor we've never even heard of... be warned," .

  It is taken from the latest issue of "The Onion". It is, of course, a satirical publication and not at all true.

  I think you should credit this collection of "quotes" to its real source, before anyone gets themselves too fired up about this. You DO know where this story came from, don't you?

  i got this message from jim moon:.

  talk show host meria heller (herself an ex-jw) has put out the following reminder of her upcoming radio program.

  you can tune in on the internet at http://www.meria.net/.

  I must admit that I also find the information on Heller's website, at best, kooky. I would recommend thinking twice about associating such an important message with such a fringe messsenger, and feel that presenting anything there or through her radio show may prove counterproductive in the long run.
