  I have it on pretty good authority that even George W. Bush let one slip out yesterday at the G8...

  But, I think he has already apologized to Condelleeza, Tony, Scully, and Simon.

  so thing's are going well in dubland and the call comes down that my bookstudy is to be moved to a different congo.

  instead of a 30 minute ride to the hall we will be forming a new congo and use the hall only five minutes from my home.. great because gas has just gone to $3.00 per gallon right?.

  we meet the new po and he breaks the real news.

  Maybe you should go visit him anyway...it seems to be a great day for forgiving others...

  For what it is worth, Harry C. Stutz (creator of the Stutz Bearcat in the "1914" era) died of appendicitis at the early age of 45 or so. Seemed that Penicillen was a few years yet to come in the 1930's.

  Who knows, maybe a chance to actually tell it like it is?

  i've been a member of the site for a month, but have been reading the posts for a lot longer, however this is my first post.

  i was raised a j-dub by my mother (my father wasn't religious) with my sister and brother.

  i was pretty much convinced by my dub friends, bible study conductor, and mother that i should get baptized when i was 15 and decided to go for it.

  Maybe you should take a little time to see if this is what you really want to do.

  It might also be interesting to see if they really want you back as a person, or if they are just wanting to make you a part of the numbers...

  James, of the hard-line "run away fast" class...

  But, of course, good luck to you anyway!

  Well, there was one big goodbye thread that made sense when I first got here -

  That great poster Seven006;

  If he had not said the words, we would not have known what was going on.

  I hope he is still lurking out there.

  A message for Rex, aka SHINING ONE!

  this is your response to a 16 year olds plea for help in http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/116852/1.ashx

  first you should cry out to god to demonstrate his presence to you and your situation.

  after you pray this pay very close attention to anyone who comes into your life or any event that shows god heard your cry.

  Did anybody notice (what I think is) - the real point of the matter?

  That 16 year old poster has not been back, according to my views on the post history.

  While I suppose that it may be a little fun to spout sheer and utter bullshit once in a while, maybe we should be a little careful until we know who the new posters are and have a chance to see where they are coming from.

  Shining one not worthy to shine boots of worst and dirtiest traildust cowboy.

  You may already be farther along than you think in getting free.

  You are thinking for yourself. You had the gumption to post on this site. I say - keep doing both! - also,

  I would suggest some "submarine silent running" until you are of legal age...and also to be making some serious educational plans. Don't let somebody force you into baptism against your will.

  James

  PS - don't make my mistake. I sort of knew what you know at your same age and let myself go through the motions another 15 years...and regret it to this day.

  i've seen little bites about this for over a year.

  i understand that somewhere there is a video in which a woman named pat garza publicly accuses wts governing body member ted jaracz of having molested her as a child.

  does anyone have this video?

  An apostate I know from the olden days (kicked out with the Franz mess) also says he was a pretty decent sort, especially compared with Knorr or Franz. Didn't he serve in Australian Bethel a while? Maybe somebody from down under can confirm on both.

  The word was, however, that the guy Greenlees could really be the tailpipe of the large intestine if he got it in for you. (Unless, of course you were a good-looking young man, in which case you were a room-mate candidate.)

  Japan poster makes the case: Molester or not, straight or gay, mean or nice, the problem with these guys is to take on the mantle of leading this religion and making life a holy hell for millions...
