10,000 Line Up For a Walmart Job
by sammielee24 in10,000 apply for a jobat one new wal-mart!
by judith moriarty.
1-11-8 candidates having raised tens of millions of dollars and traveling around the country in luxury buses or private jets, arguing over who has the most 'experience' - who is a mormon (therefore disqualified) - who's not a 'true republican' (ron paul) who's picking on hillary (edwards) - who can grab the evangelical vote - who is totally ignored (kucinich) - who claims 911 makes him the protector of us all etc, (rooty)...meanwhile, the real story of what is happening in america - evictions, foreclosures, unemployment - is being totally ignored.

jw's view of dress code for women
by megaflower inthe dress code that the society imposes on the women has been a thorn in my side ( manner of speaking).
theses old men dictate how a women should dress and i do mean "a dress".
i can remember when i lived in connecticut and the temp would be in single digits and when it came time for field service you must put on that dress.

The subject of "modesty" for the sisters has had me hopping mad for years. They've stripped away the very femininity that defines a woman. I feel like they stole my and my wife's youthful vigor because of that bullcrap. She had to look like a nun at every assembly and every meeting and every field service meeting, etc. etc.... Dressed to the ankles and up to the chin.
I'll never get those years back!!

Moments at the District Assembly You'll Never Forget...
by integ ini'll never forget the assembly in madison, wi.
where some poor sap had to tell everyone that he had become addicted to porno on the net, but through much prayerful contemplation and after confessing to the elders he was able to come to "grips" with it.. good luck to that guy with ever getting a fine sister to marry him.. poor guy.
i really felt sorry for him.

Is the Watchtower Society in serious financial diffiCULTy?

Here's how I think that would happen; The WT would available over the web, with the password for access to downloading it would only be given to the elders. The elders would download a copy and begin printing it for distribution into the family "literature boxes". This would require each congo to purchase a computer, paper and a laser printer. Think of the tremendous cost savings that would produce for the Society!
I've thought this quite a few years but never believed I'd actually hear they were considering it.

Truthsearcher said: But....what is the fall-out going to be with your inlaws? And are you ready for that?
Well I suppose it's time for me to chime in, since Lady Liberty and I are husband and wife. Truthsearcher, you ask a very painful question. LL's family is all out of the org. and I love all of them dearly, just as if they were my own family, but most of my family are still in, except for my aunt and uncle. When my Dad stopped over last evening to "discover" our wicked, but very Merry Christmas ways, my Mom happened to call during his visit. We haven't spoken, she and I, for quite some time, and it bothers me that we don't comunicate. Anyhooo....she proceeds to tell me how much she misses us (LL our daughter and I) and how much she would love to get together again and repair our relationships. End of story there, he leaves, she hangs up with me, all is well....sort of.
Then the elders and the CO show up and that whole bit that LL told you about. Then..Dad calls back after they've gone, (kinda makes me wonder if it was all a set up) and says, "Son I have a last chance idea if you're willing to hear me out." I said "Sure." He said, "Would you consider talking with the CO as a last ditch effort to share your thoughts and concerns about 607 and other things?" I said, "Sure...... but we already talked about some things." He said, "You did?" I said, "Ya, he just left here about ten minutes ago." You coulda heard a pin drop........... Then Mom get's ahold of the phone, and all hell breaks loose. Now remember, just about 45 minutes prior she was spouting, "I love you son", "let's work on our relationships son". Ok, so then, she starts in on me cuz' pops musta told her, "They're celebrating Christmas over there, but it's really cozy and inviting too"
Now back to she gets ahold of the phone, she starts in on me and says, "How dare you? How dare you celebrate that pagan holiday, Christmas, do you realize that you're going to die for this?" She started screaming at me, now mind you, we had guests over, (brother and sister in law for dinner) and I thought to myself, I can let this affect either positively or negatively, I can either have a great evening or a horrible one. I'm thinking this as the wire leading up to the handset is turning red, so I just hung up on her. No more screaming, just a peaceful quiet.
A year and a half ago my brother told me never to call his house again, so that over. It's kinda sad since he has a daughter, and I'd like to have a relationship with her. His wife is a bitch, and he's a limp pansy, bowing to her every whim and desire.
So, dear friends, this is it. The end of a long era. I was born into the Organization, and now some 40+ years later, I'm out. No regrets, no looking back. I have some good memories and some not-so-good memories. I still love Mom and Dad and my Brother, but it will never be the same now. I've got a whole life ahead of me to love my God, Jehovah, my wife and daughter, her family, and to love my neighbor.
Love to you all,
BP
