Religious Fanatacism
by drahcir yarrum inif there was ever a blatant display of the dangers of religious fanatacism, this is it.
the hi-jackers of the airliners that crashed today no doubt thought they'd immediately be sitting next to allah this-afternoon.

Kent-How 'bout we discuss the sanctity of life?
by drahcir yarrum ini remember how the society used to drone on and on about the "sanctity of life".
your recent thread on god ordering killing got me to thinking about this concept again.
i also know that the anti-abortion people like to use the sanctity of human life argument to support their position as well.

Imagine
by drahcir yarrum inin the words of the late john lennon, "imagine".
imagine that the jw's were right and armageddon made bird feed out of everyone except jw's.
imagine that you survived into the "new world".

Australian Ethnic Purity
by drahcir yarrum ini for one appreciate australia's efforts to prevent undesirables from entering their country.
i once heard the story of a british businessman, who upon arrival at australian customs was asked if he had ever been convicted of a felony.
to which the brit replied, "no, is it still a requirement here?

Ray Franz Books Left People With No Where To Go?
by drahcir yarrum insomeone reported in another thread that ray franz has grown concerned that his books have not helped those who have read them because it left them with nowhere to go.
i'm reminded of a phrase that i heard repeatedly during my 30 years as a watchtower toady.
"if this isn't the truth, then there is no truth".

When and where baptized
by drahcir yarrum ini thought it might be interesting to see how many here remember where and when they were baptised into the borg.
for some the memory may be too painful, but i'm curious.. me.
it was 1966 in vancouver, bc.

Does Anyone Else Remember
by drahcir yarrum init's been a long, long time ago, but i remember as a youngster attending the meetings and there was a huge bulletin board next to the platform and every month they would post the field service statistics on it, i.e.
hours, return visits (back calls), mags, books, etc.. i was wondering if this was common practice in all kingdom halls back in the 50's and 60's and if so, when did the practice end?
given nathan knorr's interest in marketing the jw teachings and putting a guilt trip on those who didn't perform up to snuff this recollection makes sense.

Exorcising Your Demons
by drahcir yarrum ini wish i knew how to add links in here but i don't.
in drudge report today, there is a story about a faith healer who claims he can exorcise demons from women, but apparently he needs to have sex with them to make it work.. i think this might be a good pick up line for witness men to use.
"sister smith, i think i can help you with those terrible feelings that something is coming between you and jehovah's blessing.

Isaiah's Prophecy
by drahcir yarrum ini visited my 77 year old mother the other day and noticed she had a new jw book on her kitchen counter titled "isaiah's prophecy".
having just started visting this forum i thought i might be able to pick out some gems from these books to pass along.
well, two things have resulted from picking up this book: 1. my mother has told my sisters that i am thinking about coming back into the borg and 2. i have realized after reading a few pages that this book it is nothing more than recycled bilge from the past 50-60 years.

True Bethel Story
by drahcir yarrum ini arrived at bethel in december of 1968 on a cold night.
i had the taxi drop me off at the old columbia heights building.
the door was locked so i knocked and was reluctantly allowed in by another bethelite.
