  AAARRRGGGH!!! That pisses me off SO MUCH!!!!!
  
  I can just hear it all over again,
  
  ----"Mommy, why doesn't Grandma come over any more?"
  
  ----"I'm sorry sweetie...Mommy misses her too but Grandma doesn't love Jehovah anymore!"
  
  
  
  
  I would SO LOVE to spit in the face of those home-wrecking-bastards on the GB!!!!!!

  You HAVE to laugh at them!.... either that or the criminal stupity and needless suffering will simply overwhelm you!

  The very thought of not getting to spend time with my grand daughter because I didn't agree 100% with my daughter on some stupid issue would put me in an institution!

  UN-F#@%IN-BELIEVABLE!!!!

  Perhaps your friend could use the law to her benefit (the Apostle Paul did with his Roman citizenship) She could easily file a suit for Grand-parental visitation rights.... I'd love to hear the son's defense argument for why she's being denied this relationship. My parents had to resort to this after my brother's death. My mom was DA'd but my dad was in good standing. It wasn't until the case got heated that we decided that there would be too much trauma on the grankids to pursue it any farther .....so we dropped the suit.

  "it is vital that we ... respond to the directions of the "slave" as we would to the voice of god ..." (the watchtower, june 15, 1957, page 371).

  "then we will no longer be babies.

  we will not be tossed about like a ship that the waves carry one way and then another.

  Seems funny that witnesses are quick to dismiss anything that an Apostate says if it come from really old WTS publications yet they are more than willing to quote from publications from the 1800's when it supports their case! Freakin' Hypocrites!!!!

  I was lucky enough to have a friend at Bethel sneak me an early release copy of the New, “Revised Edition” of the “New World Translation” That is scheduled for release at next spring’s District Conventions.
  
  Obviously, I haven’t been able to read ALL of it yet but I did glance through it and found some of the subtle changes that the FDS has seen as important revisions.
  
  Here are some of the more notable ones in our new Bible:
  
  Starting in Genesis….
  The “forbidden fruit” is now a guy (with really nice shoes) named Stuart.
  
  Enoch “went with God” and came back later with presents for everyone.
  
  After Hagar and Ishmael were disfellowshipped, no one would even say hello to them or even make eye contact….. finally, dejected, they went into the desert.
  
  Moses went before Pharaoh and said, “Let my people go… door-to-door”
  
  After descending the mountain with the 10 commandments, Moses had Aaron go back up with him to help carry the 64 “Codes of Christian Conduct”
  
  Elijah, while be taken up to heaven, tragically fell out of the chariot, to his untimely death.
  
  Job’s (previously unmentioned) 4th friend accurately addressed the reason for the curse that Job was under… helped him fill out all of his late “time slips”, and then everything was restored to him.
  
  Proverbs 4: now reads, “The light will grow brighter…sometimes it flickers a little but if the wise man will just tap on it a few times it’ll usually come back on and then it’ll be really, really bright! Like, you can’t even look right at it bright!”
  
  Nebuchadnezzar became like a beast for seven years and then took 20 years to get cleaned up, compose himself, and stuff…. (Kinda’ helps explain the whole 607 BCE thingy)
  
  The three “Wise*by worldly standards*Men”, who came to Christ’s birth, bearing gifts, were given a good, stern, talking too and decided to return their Pagan gifts (after the holiday rush) and took Joseph up his offer for free a in-tent papyrus study.
  
  John the Baptist is now referred to as “John the Non-Denominational Dunkin’ Guy”
  
  Jesus now died on the “Wheel of Mis-fortune”
  
  Paul did not go into Asia Minor as it was a “gated community”
  The Ethiopian eunuch replied to Phillip’s question about understanding by saying, “How can I understand unless someone sells me a lovingly prepared, companion booklet?”
  
  The twelve disciples are now referred to as the twelve “Regular Disciples”.
  
  As the 12 Regular Disciples gathered in the upper room… everyone passed the wine and bread around until Judas ACTUALLY took a drink! Three of the disciples immediately went into another little room and asked Judas to come in and explain his behavior.
  
  Before leaving the 11 still active disciples, Jesus said, “No one knows the hour or day of my return… not even I. But if you look REALLY hard, I bet some of you guys can figure out the week! Here’s a little hint…When you try to “measure-up” it will pucker your “Sphinx-ter” when people call you a “Mummy’s Boy” but you will be in “Da-Nile”…..*chuckle-snort-snort*

  You know... I haven't had a visit in quite a while.....
  
  I've heard rumors that some people's houses have been "Red-Flagged" but never actually seen that practice in effect.
  
  Does it really happen?
  
  I never went to the KH that would cover this area so wouldn't presume that I've been labeled as a trouble spot.
  
  IF I HAVE.... Who would I need to call to get taken off the "Black-list"???
