Talking to two J dubs on a busy downtown street
by ldrnomo inso im out of town for a couple of days for a software seminar.
it didnt start until noon yesterday so i took a walk down a busy street famous for its shopping and as i got to the end of the stores and the beginning of apartments i noticed two women standing on the sidewalk in front of what i later noticed was a kingdom hall.
as i started walking by giving them a smile and a polite greeting the one that was older, they were both young based on my terms the older in her 30s middle to late the younger in her 20s probably late.

Actually, "murder" is more apposite. Killing is something more related to circumstantial death. Murder, on the other hand, is a pre-meditated act!
I suppose murder could be classified as pre-meditated killing. That has to be totally in violation of the Bible's written Laws.

Such sad news - never unexpected but so sad.
Where would I be without this information that was borne of a loving, kind soul with a conscience?
My thoughts and sentiments are with all related to Ray and Cynthia, a man who liberated so many from an ailing and sick religion - a lady who lovingly supported a truly worthwhile gentleman.

they are gettin better and better at ludicrous
by booby inso jesus regularly attended meetings for worship (they don't specify which kingdom hall) and may have been thinking about psalm 40:6-8 (in the new world translation i suppose).

If Jesus did return, I bet they'd expect him to humbly submit to governing body leadership. Probably start him out on the mics or something.
Nah ---- he'd have to get the beard off first!

This was plainly wierd. I'm telling this story to warn others of the power of mind control.
Not long after my marriage failed I met a darling photographer who has since become my wife. I walked away from the Borg, never to look back. We weren't living together (yet, we couldn't find anywhere) but we spent a lot of time and "evenings" together. Mrs. Hotspur suggested we visit this village in Dorset which was deserted druing WWII to facilitate D-Day training. The story is fascinating in it's own right but, so sad. Tyneham Village - Dorset.
Anyway, we went and had a good look around all the empty houses which was strangely eerie to say the least. Then we went into the church. I walked over to the lecturn and the Bible was open. Guess to what reference? Psalm 83! I was fairly new out so you can only begin to imagine the emotions that went through me. Here I was, with the woman who wasn't my wife and away from the Organisation that had been my life for 38 years! It was horrid. Mrs. Hotspur knew something was wrong but I just couldn't tell her. I've still not fully told her now, some 4 years later.
Don't let anybody tell you there is no such thing as mind control in this evil organisation - it's rampant and it's effects are deep and far-reaching. We've both hated that day. Neither of us really speak of it. I wonder if we should go back and put this 'demon' to bed.
