Jehovah punished me when 2 Witnesses knocked on my mothers door in 1971. He blessed me in 2001 when I realized that I didn't want to be in the organisation anymore. If he's out there he will understand.

If Jehovah has all the money let him pay for it! Before giving a donation I would throw my wages in the air and say: "Jehovah take what you need and the rest is MINE!" This system served me well for many years.

Court sentences rape victim
by Bumble Bee inreport: court sentences rape victimfri nov 16, 12:27 am et .
a saudi court sentenced a woman who had been gang raped to six months in jail and 200 lashes more than doubling her initial penalty for being in the car of a man who was not a relative, a newspaper reported thursday.. the decision by the qatif general court came in a case that had sparked rare debate about the kingdom's justice system when it surfaced more than a year ago.. in its decision wednesday, the court also roughly doubled prison sentences for the seven men convicted of raping the 19-year-old woman, the arab news reported on its english-language web site.. according to arab news, the court said the woman's punishment was increased because of "her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media.".
she had initially been sentenced to 90 lashes after being convicting her of violating saudi's rigid laws on segregation of the sexes.. under saudi arabia's interpretation of islamic sharia law, women are not allowed in public in the company of men other than their male relatives.. the initial sentences for the men convicted of the gang rape ranged from 10 months to five years in prison.

Someone should Atom-bomb Suadi Arabia off the map, damn backwards country stuck in the dark ages. Islam justice for women is pathetic and an insult to Allah. The koran makes good toilet paper.
Like the old 1960's Witness rule if a Sister doesn't scream when raped {fear} she is guilty of fornication and disfellowshiped.

most disturbing movie scene you've seen?
by knock knock ini haven't seen this topic on here so i thought i'd.... hmmm, maybe it's because it's just too disturbing?
to me, the scene in saving private ryan - the two soldiers in the small upstairs room fighting hand to hand to the death (by stabbing).
i think that is the most disturbing thing i've seen on screen and there were plenty just in that film alone.

moscow (reuters) - at least 30 members of a russian doomsday cult have barricaded themselves in a remote cave to await the end of the world and are threatening to commit suicide if police intervene, officials and media said on thursday.
"they have covered the entrance and refuse to come out and are threatening to blow themselves up," an official in the local prosecutor's office told reuters by telephone.

We should send in a crack commando Jehovah's Witness team to flush them out with Watchtowers and public talks...{Knocking on the cave door..."Were not home, go away!"}

The two brothers that used us, both became sick and gave up pioneering after 15 years of service. I heard the last congregation they were at bought them a newer car when one of them hurt their hand. They visited me at our new assignment and boasted asking: "What car are you driving now?" I still had the same old bomb. Most of my pioneer friends are, 15 years later either sick, disfellowshiped or very dis-satisfied and quit.

Growing up my mother always told us "jehovah will provide." We didn't have a car, we pioneered and did our best. When I left school I pioneered full time with my mother and sister, we were a single parent family living on government benefits. My mum was always generous cooking a big meal for all the pioneers every Sunday...those were fun times. She also invited many brothers and Sisiters to dinner thinking this was "good association." I often wondered why almost none of these well off brothers invited as back to THERE HOME for dinner but I guess they were too busy with preaching and meetings, and morgages and car payments. I bought a cheap car after much window cleaning, and many a brother would park his new car in the shade and then get in my old run down, car for field service..Oh well. My mum the pillar of our congregation, she invited two pioneer brothers to live with us in their mobile home. They stayed a few years, and even though we were poor used our phone alot, and power without ever offering to contribute. They taught me a valuble lesson in Watchtower politics. These were the most arrogant, rude, two-faced brothers, I have ever seen. The congregation helped them financially buying them a used car with free machanical services by a brother. When they moved on the congregation gave them a generous amount of money. A year later we decided to move where the need is greater...the congregation gave us nothing except a nice card...oh well. Decades later I ve become in-acitive, I"ve paid off my house and new car and am planning a family at a late 36 years old {thanks to Armagedon not coming very pissed off!!} I have a great career and am well respected at work. For the first time I'm STARTING to feel good about my self...sometimes I look back in dis-belief at my former life.

Yearbooks= Does Bethel "worship" new Watchtower buildings and branches?
by Witness 007 inthe yearbook is always beaming with pictures, descriptions, and glowing testamony of the new buildings the watchtower purchased, renovated or built.
is this in fact "building worship"?
i mean do the poor 3 million witnesses who meet in shacks on dirt floors, really care or understand these pictures, from their rich western society brothers?

The Mormons have some incredible buildings...and the muslims...and all religions in general. It's funny how poor Witnesses scrounge and save money for a Kingdom Hall...and then give it to Bethel, rather then keep it in the comunity.
