there has been talk about wt imagery and the use of subtle hypnotism during meetings.. we had a co who very forcefully wanted the piano players axed and the canned music used for the singing.. has there been any studies done to find sub-harmonic messages hidden in the music?.
paranoia and conspiracy artists may now address.
thanks.
This line still makes me sick---------------------------------------

Ssbsong201RejoicingWithGod’sNation***3. In a land so good and spacious,
Free from strife and things vexatious,
Look! a happy crowd, vivacious
In God’s service that is efficacious.
They’re no longer sighing.
Truth from God they are now buying,
In their lives his Word applying,
And his name they keep on glorifying.
That is struggling pretty hard to rhyme if you ask me.

hope you are having a super weekend!!
" [1] it also said that the spirit that "dictated" the novel to mrs. smith was one of the fallen angels who desired to return to god's organization.
angels and women has a three page foreword.
LL,
You guys could find a (self-threading) needle in a haystack.
Keep up the good work.
Uninformed (less and less everyday)
when i was in the states, texas to be accurate, i attended some congs and got to speak to a few people, and i couldn`t believe how many times individuals were d/f, sometimes 3 or 4 times, and they were also married the same times as well, in the so called `truth`.
i did feel that it made a mockery of the `truth` as in england, most people are only d/f once, very rarily twice or more.
i know america is more advanced in many areas, good things and bad, but i was shocked at the ratio out there.
One day a couple of years ago, a bricklayer brother that worked for me was telling me about another ELDER that had been disfellowshipped 4 times and was currently an ELDER again.
He was laughing as he told the story.
What a horrible thing to even know, let alone, tolerate and laugh about.
How would you like an elder to sit on a JC with you knowing he had been df'd 4 times himself?
There is a cong in Nixa, Missouri, that has a brother in it named Stoops. He committed adultery a bunch of times and the end of the matter was that he re-married a couple of times. There are now his wife and two ex-wives in the same congregation. Can you imagine the consternation of morally balanced christians when two or three sister Stoops are called on at the WT study?
By the way, last I knew, he was a pioneer.

anyone seen this site and marvelled at the ignorance and credulity of the anonymous writer.
read the condescending letter on the last page.
we can come back to the borg.
W--couldn't have said it better myself.
Yes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that the watchtower is a lying, abusive, deceitful, skanky whorish cult that protects pedophiles.W

there was a post on the other day someone was asking about whether the wt monitors websites such as this and other "apostate" sites.. unfortunately i couldn't find it to add this to it.
i remembered a jw who worked on installing computers at london bethel, some time ago telling me that the wt did monitor websites.
this jw is gradually fading away from being one, so can't say to much about him.
Man this is scary,
I sure don't want them to find out that my name is Brant Jones, and they can kiss my ass. What do we do if they catch us? By the way if they knew I lived in Kansas City they could probably find me. I hope they don't hurt me anymore. 45 years of believing their lie was enough.

i recently obtained the 1995 wt library cd-rom and have been trying to get it to work.
it took a few attempts to get it to install but i keep on getting an abormal program termination when i try to use it.
i figure there are configuration issues since it's so old.
Cabasilas,
I will PM you.

I am technically an elder until later this week. Well, I resigned weeks ago, but my BOE was afraid to do anything without Mother's directions. They finally got permission to "delete" me.
OnTheWayOut------------------Congratulations. It is a tough thing at first to walk away. I admire your strength of character for doing so.
I resigned 5 years before I left. It was my first step out.

reading this made my stomach hurt...especially when the elder reminds the kids that the wedding is a "theocratic" event and restraint should be shown when doing the electric slide.
ugh.

thanks willyloman.

i'm moving on.
i want to express my gratitude to members here who have steered me right when my own compass was stuck.
i know i didn't put much effort into becoming friends with many of you and i'm sure that i'm the loser for it.
I understand how you feel.
With nearly 4000 posts you have surely done a lot of good.
I wish you the very best and life.

In my opinion, if you never take it seriously, there's not a lot to regret.
