  well, april 15 is fast approaching and i can procrastinate no longer.

  so in preparing the figures for the tax man, i started looking at where our money is going.

  something hit me as i was half way through.

  Startingover

  I noticed the same thing. Was in my closet today thinking about getting rid of most everything. It is really a joy not to have to put on a suit and tie three and four times a week.

  T shirt and jeans for me.

  JW's and sickness

  by Honesty in

  2. friends

  did it seem to you that a lot of congregations had more than the usual sick people in them when compared with their worldly neighbors?.

  could it be a common problem among jw's?.

  do you think it may be mold?.

  All---

  Just a short note and sad story,

  While in the maximum security prison in Springfield, Missouri, one of the guys got sick. His name was Russell Peters, and I remember him being from West Virginia.

  Anyway, upon examination, he had terminal cancer (20-21 years old). He was given "immediate release" and got to go home. 6 months later he was dead.

  God, remember him please.

  Hopelessly stained--

  Just a note, I was in prison first at the FYC (federal youth camp) on Mt. Lemon, Tucson, Arizona. Is that where you went?

  Who did you go see?

  Anyway in January of 1967 the gov't shut down the Mt. Lemon camp and sent half of us to Springfield, MO, via, La Tuna, Texas and El Reno, Oklahoma. We were about two weeks in transit.

  The other half were sent to Safford, Arizona, to the youth camp there (prison) to be available to fight forest fires.

  Do you remember if you went there or Mt. Lemon.

  I knew all of the guys transferred, a whole bunch of guys from California.

  Thought I was going to need CPR for a minute.

  Your post and the dissonance of the pentagram made me think maybe you were really going back.

  We were trained for decades on how to bash other religions for not listening to the Bible. I guess we're pretty good at it now that the WT isn't concerned about what the Bible says.

  Peter123,

  While I was in I wrote letters to a bunch of different ones in the congregation. Maybe got one or two letters from them the whole time.

  Didn't get any visits from my congregation.

  Carla,

  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the point of LDH's quote was to show there was no substance to the whole article.

  Why did they join the UN/DPI? Who gives a flying sh-ugar coated waffle?

  by AuldSoul in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  much has been made over possible motives behind the watchtower society joining the un/dpi.

  my response is currently the same as it was in my first letter to them, "who cares why [they] did it?

  " really, this matter is so simple it can be summed up by answering two teensy little questions:.
