i can't say that i have gotten to this point where i would want to do this, yet.. but for those of you who are elders and former elders can you answer this question, not this one the one i am about to ask?.

would you be willing to request a publishers card from his current congregation and then give it to him so that he could disappear easier?.

also, in this situation, does the congregation send all records ( besides any in ny ) with the card, do they keep copies?.

blondie : The things you mentioned I had thought of.....My thoughts were that an individual would tell their congragation that they were moving (preferrably far away) then once they got any records they needed sent to their accomplice and in their hands they could say that things didn't work out and they were moving back....but to a different near by congregation. It helps to live near a large city with many to choose from. I have used the excuse many times that I was visiting this or that cong. where I know nobody. When returning I would "shop" around offer excuses about how my card hasn't arrived...etc etc, and after awhile you can fade from thought. I have almost faded from thought from most in my "current/old" congregation. If I wasn't married I could pull off quite easily being an "apostate" and a JW all at the same time. You know the double life.

Oh well....If my wife ever decides to divorce me.

tsof, thanks for the comments, that is nice to know, buddy!

Is the WT lack of funds showing in the Wardrobe room (scans)

by kwintestal in

are these ladies wearing the same shirts?

these scans are from the feb. 1 2007 watchtower.. .

page numbers were left on the scan for those who have the articles to have a closer look.

It appears to be two different women.

Woman 1 - Long bangs - Darker eyebrows - Shirt is tailored - Different earrings - Smaller hands(?)

Woman 2 - Short bangs - Lighter eyebrows - Shirt is less tailored - Different style earrings - Different little Girl ;-)

I would say the first woman is younger.

I tried to some measurments but the different angles and low quality of the pics make that difficult.

Just wondering.....

Best Diet For Women

by sammielee24 in

ok..it's been decided..after mega studies it has been confirmed that the atkins diet works faster and is the best for women.

it lowers blood pressure and cholesterol and has been a factor in regulating blood sugar levels.

i'm not sure about for men but i do know both men and women who have used this diet and it worked really well for them.

rassillon

Everybody's different.

It is short sighted to think one diet will work for everyone.

How peoples body chemistry reacts to simple and complex carbs or protien or fat varies widely.

Calorie in calorie out is a false theory. Everybody has a friend that can eat 5000 calories a day and never gains an ounce. While you have a person eating 900 calories and gains.

Eat healthy. Eat in moderation. Eat foods as close to their natural state as possible. Eat what makes your body feel good (not what makes you feel good emotionally). Eat plenty of fiber. Drink plenty of water (but not too much).

The only constant is exersize. Get plenty, your body will tell you when to stop, this is a considerable time after your mind tells you to stop. Start by using the largest muscles in your body first.

Update on my mom

so i went to see my mom, and she was doing a lot better.

she was a lot more clear headed.

she was for the most part very much back in reality although she still thinks she was held down under a streetlight and beat by three black men just because she was standing there.

rassillon

I feel for you SP.

I can imagine this being in my future.

Hang in there!

hello chumz on the board.

nothing really to do with jwism but who prefers the american 'bourbon' type such as 'wild turkey', 'jim beam' etc or who prefers a fine single malt scotch such as 'glenfiddich' or 'glenmorangie'?

Shocker!!!---leading up to my plan

well folks, i started writing a big post and then the keyboard acted up on me, so i lost everything i was saying.

first of all amanda was right, this isnt anything i can just walk away from, it is'nt something that i can just put behind me and move on.

this involves my sexuality and my childhood experience growing up in the jw cult.

rassillon

Dave, keep your chin up.

Our thoughts are with you buddy!

I know there are some here who really identify with you.

I like whisky alot, i like whiskey not so much.

Single Malt is the shizzle. 10y/o Talisker is my favorite. Macallen18 is good as well. Lagavulin is nice too.

Irish, it tastes funny, I think the triple distilling is a bit too much and they use coal instead of peat.

I have heard though there is a new Irish Single Malt made like a Scotch, I would like to try that.

For me the smokier the better.

Neat no water at room tempature.

Regular Crown is piss ---- Sorry for those of you who like it, I am a bit of a snob.....They did make a special Crown for 2000 or something that was actually pretty nice.

Damn, now I have to go pour myself a dram!
