oh i used to pity the poor people, who wouldn't? 10am on a Saturday morning being talked to about JoJoba and them thinking your selling them shampoo blessed by God or something in their post Friday night bender repecussions. I used to cringe at the virtual Foot in the Door techniques, and waht amazed me was the fact when they got the door slammed in their face, it was business as usual! I hated the "knock" as we called it, always felt like an invasion of privacy. Plus some of the characters you would meet at the door step.... "shudders" almost all the looneys would be at the meeting a month after their first call, always!! Our hall had them in spades!

Looking back as the householder -- How well did you do?
by Jourles inyesterday i was thinking back to when i used to go in service.
i was never a shining example for the ministry.
in fact, i was never used on the tms for any field service "how to" parts!

A Perspective on Judgement
by bebu ini ran across this excerpt a long while ago from the world's last night, an essay by cs lewis about the apocalypse.
in it lewis gives a very interesting perspective on the concept of god's judgement.
it's very different from what jws and many christians (or other religions) think about judgement.

so if i get this right, ok.
I no longer believe in a supreme numero uno god, and on the day im am proved wrong and brought upto his prescence to explain myself, i can?
Awesome!
I would say something along the lines of:
Oh God, what a spiteful jealous god you are, you created everything, yet created us with a free will. What kind of sick twisted creature are you? Do you have issues? Tell me about your mother? Were you breastfed? With all the powers imaginable and yet you created us as your imperfect experiment and are suprised at the results? Where were you?
Is Satan here? He at least gave us something to look forward to! -

A funny way to stop the door knockers!
by caz inmy last 2 posts have been so sad that i thought i would tell you about something that i remembered once when the jw"s came a calling.
i guess it would have been funny if it wasn't so darn embarassing!
when i was younger i was trying to 'get fit' and had taken to doing aerobics in my loungeroom.

Nisan 14th, isnt that a japanese date?
used to make me chuckle that did!
I reckon we should all attend the 2006 Memorial and partake of the emblems!
"Yes, as a member of the Anointed, you can all shut the fcup, now got any moutarde for this unleaved ryvita?, no? some fois-gras then perhaps?
There used to be a brother in my old hall who lost his wife to breast cancer, she was a lovely women, and he went off the rails, started thinking he was Little J, and started taking the emblems at teh memorial, felt sorry for his daughters we grew up together, was a hard time for them. They married the usual moron wannabe elders and probably are dreaming of all the golden days we used to get up to! -

Email I received off mum
by Es inhey all, i usually pop into my folks once a week so that my son can see his grandparents.
anyway last week my dad asked if i wanted to go to a country show\fete with them on sat , so anyway a couple of days later i emailed my mum to see whether my fiance (non jw) could come too.. this is the email i received today.
as you are going to be busy over the next few weeks, we dont want to put added pressure on you, dont feel you have to come to the show.plus we have already explained the situation regarding mike we dont have anything against him personally, but the situation is difficult for us regards associating with him as your fiance because it would be viewed as our supporting your decision to marry out of the truth.

circular logic will be posted shortly no doubt.
The funny thing is Auld, that you can't fault these "3 Tenors" of the board for their faith in what is a Printing Company after all.
Kinda quaint i think, in this world of free information, they still cling to the belief that from 6 billion people only one religion will survive, including the peadophiles, wife beaters, homosexuals (no offence) and the rest of the detritus that make up the WBTS!
Theres more chance of me riding a comet to the afterlife than that happening! -

yeah i agree totally with you on that point champ!
Some people just can't be convinced, its hardwired into them. It usually takes a major event that challenges them personally for a window of opportunity to open to extract them from the fog. My mother for example, faded away after my dad was DF'ed, the only reason she dosent go back is becuase she is alone now (her choice mind you) and feels alone in the congregation. Shes not been a meeting in years but she still beleives the crap! after everything the congregation did to our familly pschologically, my younger sister having nearly killed herself 2 times and her getting reproved because of it, yet she still harbours feelings of going back! Thats what kills me, that shes still wired into the Matrix (on a wireless connection lol) Thats the reason why i hate the Society because it puts dogma first over family ties.
ITS A CULT, PEOPLE.. WAKE UP!
