i'd like the legal ramifications of a disfellowshipping to be examined. The mental anguish it causes by the "kangaroo court" style of trial by hearsay! The people conducting these "court martials" are neither qualified or in a position to administer these cruel sessions. And the public shame they dish out when the poor soul is "Publicly Reproved" is probably more damaging than actual disfellowshipping. Shurely you could sue for mental damages, having to recount in sordid detail to the comittee's predilictions. When I was publiclly reproved, i made a point of being there at the meeting it was announced, and stood up and clapped, said Bravo, and walked out! Bastards never saw me again! luckily for me i was so removed from the herd, that i didn't feel the guilt trips they laid on you, and i prety much despised the vast majority of oxygen stealers anyway. No great loss on my part. Although i did feel a bit for my family who still went at that time, although my dad had been DF'ed shortly before.

Poor "artist formerly known as Prince know known as Prince" he didn't quite make the minimum height limit for the Scientoligists so had to make do with the Dubs! I bet he gets backroom "talks" with the elders in his congreagtion about driving a little red corvette, OMG its a 2 door, how will you drive all these tight arse sponging "pioneers" around! would be cool to have him rock up at your door though! I would invitehim in for some tea and biscuits, and when he goes into his spiel, ask him to excuse me for a minute, then go and get dressed up as prince and scare the shit out of him!!! crazed fan!!!! not that i like prince, i always thought he looked like midget covered in glue and dipped in pubic hair!

Is there anthropological evidence proving the Nephilim's existence?
by truthseeker ini've had this question is my mind for a while now, but has there been any skeletal remains discovered that could prove the existence of the nephilim?.
there's so many unanswered questions about these giants - first of all, were they really hybrids?.
secondly, if the demons could materialise and procreate, how do we not know that they gave their children the same reproductive powers?.

No one has touched on the fact that we are probably Nephilim to our ancestors! The average height of an adult male now, is considerably larger than it was back in the days of Noah (David Attenborough circa. 2000bc) But then the bible is just a book of folklore anyhows, I find Tolkien a better read personally, far more beleivable!

IS THIS WHY ELDERS ARE SO EGOTISTICAL??
by chuckyy ini have this theory.. someone once said to me.....' its no good coming into the truth if you are a sensitive person.'.
i have found in my experience as a former elder that a lot of elders have very large egos.
my theory is this:.

Definately agree there, the elders in my old congregation loved the power! The most morose dumbass blokes around, given this perceived power, shit yeah they abused it! And for the Cheshire set here, does anyone remember from the mid 80's early 90's perhaps a Circuit Overseer called Tom something or other? he looked a bit like Benny Hill, but less amusing. He was the most obnoxious arrogant SOB i have ever met, far worse than anyone i have ever met "in the world" He lambasted the congreagtion, called us all spiritually weak the whole week he was there! I remember my dad doing an impression of him and he was hilarious! He was originally from Bath, and all he harped on about was how wonderful the congregation was in Bath, most people in our hall were muttering "well eff-off back there then" under their breaths! He was a prick!

Do members of GB go from house to house???
by zagor ini've always wondered this.
does anybody have first hand information if they do and how much, or is their service sort of like when co comes and goes along to book studies to give "encouragement".
or even more so, do they stand with magazines on street corners?.

Its probably more likely that they would be assassinated by kerrazy apostates! So they keep them sheltered back at the hive! Imagine the scenario, sniper rifles trained on to Columbia Heights, popping them off one by one as they go "from house to house, from door to door"
That would make a great RPG computer game, "Ministry Militia - Service is Rendered" 100 points for slaying the Boss at teh end of the stage, a huge, shuffling Fred Franz raining down mumbling quotes at you, as you reload the winchester, special tip, aim for the ragged patches of suede on his wingtip brogues, its his weakness................ -

How many are still in the "I want to argue scripture stage?"
by free2beme inwhen i left the witnesses, i picked up a bunch of christian books on what the bible says.
isn't it weird that you have to have so many books, just to tell you what another book is saying?
anyway, i went through this phase where i still wanted to argue scripture with people.

lol hey tetra, remember this, its the gift that keeps giving!
I discoved that the spine-insert also makes good roaches. At least the dubs used quality materials in their literature manufacture!
I found that the weightier chapters, ie: Leviticus and the latter chapters in the OT provide the best cathartic smoke! -

ha! i always found the bible the most boring read ever! all that wacky fire and brimstone Revelations ending, "and so and so begat so and so" Why argue the merits of it? its poorly written, the editing and continuity is spurious at best, and the paper its printed on? its good for making rollies! I would rather discuss and argue the merits of a good Shakespeare play!
If the bible was released today, freshly written, it would never sell!
