hi gang, i would really appreciate if you could take a look at my blog about the book i've written re the witnesses.
i've aimed to have a laugh at all the madness that i experienced in the 20 years i spent in the 'truth'.. i'm using the blog to get some positive comments so i can get the book published.
i've already had lot's of help.

according to 2tricities.com, a "group of jehovah's witnesses saved 4 month old beulah from a watery grave" in old fort, w.virginia.. 17 year old autumn stoddard of marion said, "we just kept hearing this crying throughout the whole neighborhood.
i didn't even knock on the door because i could tell it was starting to go under".. the owners of the goat were very happy that the jehovah's witnesses saved the goat.. .
any comments??
I guess the fact the goat was mostly blind and not fully blind is the reason the JWs were able to rescue it. Satan obviously hadn't completed the job of 'blinding' it yet. No doubt the follow up newspaper article will be about these JW rescuers amazingly transforming this poor blind goat into a sheep with perfect eyesight.

well, some of you know that i have a 16 year old son who lives with his jw mother.
she has already mastered the art of guilt control on him.
i am most anxious that he not get baptized at all or at least unless he has really understood the whole truth, not just the watchtower truth.
Well done Aussie - so glad you are reaching your kids little by little. I'm sure those seeds you are planting will be remembered by your kids as they get older.
All the best

closure isn't needed.
in georgia recently, a religious "criminal" died.
this one had been brought to account.
not a captive - that was so well done. And thank you for helping expose the evil ways of the WTS. I hope that not only some JWs read this, but many non JWs in your area will read it and ask questions about it next time witnesses knock on their door.
All the best

parents went to a jw gathering to read the wt for this week.a jw said that only 5 people out of 125 in my congo will survive armageddon and then that elder said: "no,not 5 people,maybe 20".
damn i don't have words for him.
About 4 years ago around the time my husband and I were newly fading there was a CO visit (which we didn't attend) where the CO said that there were many in the congregation who could be termed 'the living dead'. Those that were slack about meeting attendance and field service etc who were all going to die at Armageddon anyway.
So of course after that visit the self righteous pioneer sisters in the congregation felt they had the right to walk around with their haughty, judgemental opinions and gossip about those they felt deserved the label of 'the living dead'.

just setting the record straight.
there is another thread that notes a claim on wiki that said that ray has died.. he had a stroke yesterday, and is in the hospital.
he is still alive.
This is very very sad news. Sending thoughts of love and strength to Cynthia to help her get through these next few terrible days.
I'm very grateful that this lovely, kind and brave man is leaving a wonderful legacy with his books - a legacy that will live on and help many many more break free from the WTS.

the camera was a nikon coolpix l22, it's a pretty decent little camera.
unfortunately it had a dust spot or two under the lens.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos with us upnorth.

france to fine women who don full-face islamic veils in publicthe french government decided wednesday to impose a $185 fine on women who wear a full-face islamic veil in public, pushing ahead with a controversial ban despite signs of tension between france's muslims and the christian-tradition majority.
president nicolas sarkozy said his government was forwarding the legislation to parliament because it had a "moral responsibility" to uphold traditional european values in the face of an increasingly visible muslim population, estimated at more than 5 million, the largest in western europe.
he called the course chosen by his government "demanding" but "just," and he insisted that the law was not intended to stigmatize the country's muslims.
