  I need help destroying witness bastards!

  by dawg in

  ok, so everytime i'm around my crazy as hell witness family, they always say that all the false predictions and stuff is in the ancient witness past... we all know better... anyone that can provide me current dumba** things that the witnesses have changed in the last say 15 years gets to have wild sex with me as a reward.

  ok, maybe that's not much of a reward but will you please help me destroy the idiots anyway?

  I was growing very disenchanted by the end of the 90's. I resigned as an elder in 2000 ( after over 30 years) due to a lack of respect for the elders, circuit overseers, and the Society.

  But, I still kept going, stayed in the ministry school and went in service, faithfully.

  I don't think that I would have left except for the revealing power of the internet. It was the UN thing that was the final hammer. I just could not tolerate being part of an organization that hypocritically condemned all other religions for association with the UN and then when they did it, it was 'just for a library card'.

  I am grateful to Robert King, my first internet apostate, and later to all of the great folks that are on this and other forums.

  Hooray for the internet. Long live the exposure of the WT Society for what it really is.

  Scholar,

  I was a JW for 45 years, never met a "celebrated scholar".

  How about names?

  Mulan--I tried to read "The Source" and Hawaii, but could not pull it off (probably about 25 years ago--Should try again) But I did read "Chesapeake" and loved the first half, but hated the modern part. Michener is great, I'm sure but not quite my cup of tea.

  The saga type novels makes me remember, "The Thornbirds"-- Great read by Kathleen McCollough (sp)?

  Eclipse I agree with you that Intensity was the only Koontz book that I enjoyed too.

  Parilipmenon--I am going to put The Alchemist on my list.

  I also intend to read the Tao since so many of you recommend it.

  1 day= 24 hours= 86,400 seconds=1 thousand years

  86,400 divided by 259.2 seconds=333.33333 days

  I have no earthly idea the significance of 333.33333 days.

  Looking forward to your revelation.

  My two favorite novels of all time were:

  The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, by Herman Wouk

  Fascinating account of the War in all its theaters, Pacific, Europe. Great read.

  Recently read "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton--Liked it a lot.

  Also, read the entire Louis L'amour series,--"the Hacketts". Real easy and relaxing.

  Just finished "Enders Game" and Enders Shadow" for a little Sci Fi by Orson Scott Card

  Read and enjoyed all of John Steinbecks books, Cannery Row, Tortilla Flat, East of Eden, Red Pony, Of Mice and Men, etc. Loved his writing.

  Hate Hemingway. All of em.

  Lord of the Flies--William Golding--Very good book

  Animal Farm--George Orwell-- a must read

  To Kill a Mockingbird--Harper Lee--good book

  Count of Monte Cristo--Like Loruhammah I really like Dumas

  Intensity--Coontz--Very scary

  Dune--Best Sci Fi ever.

  All of Dickens is good, but you have to get into them. Sometimes hard to start.

  Painted House--OK---Grisham

  The Testament--OK--Grisham

  Rainmaker--Real good--""

  A time to Kill--Excellent--""

  I read both of Franz's books--Liked them both very much

  I am now reading two religious based books, "The Myth of Certainty" Good so far, but still early to say

  Also--A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible by Steven Hairfield--First 60 pages very good, from 60 to 80, I want to run and hide rather than read.

  Good luck on finding something you like.

  Were Wrong Motives Ever Imputed to You?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello all, mr. flipper again.

  when i was a witness, a lot of times i saw situations come up where someone was trying to be helpful to someone in need either spiritually, financially, emotionally or otherwise, and people would try to find fault with the good individual for helping someone.

  what causes people to do that to others, jealousy of their goodness or what?

  It is a rarity that Jehovah's Witnesses EVER attribute a RIGHT motive to anyone. (except the GB, Elders, CO. DO--you get the picture)

  Would Witnesses Go Out in Ministry if They Didn't Allow Counting Time?

  2. friends

  hey folks.

  mr. flipper here.

  when i was a witness , like a lot of you, remember we'd all scramble around at the end of the month asking each other, ( or your book study conductor would remind you) to turn our time in for field ministry ?
