i want to compile a list of all the things the witless death god wastes his inexhaustible energy on.. (other than resisting the temptation to save starving children or protect them from pedos).
the first thing jehoobie hates on my list (at least since the coraline dvd for witless kids/victims).
magic!.
Reminds me of a line from that new Gotye song:
"You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness."
i was recently invited to join some friends for a meal.
they had a family member visiting from out-of-town who was older, and knows personally a few of the governing body members.
this individual went on about how wonderful those men are, and how happy they are to be led by the gb.. it was mentioned how telling it was that they have not been filling empty spots on the governing body, and how that the men now serving on that body were "just like us" - that one of them had been divorced (i did not know this), one of them was a vet from 'nam (i think i had heard this), and that one of them had several children, etc.

What?
hey peeps,.
it's been a long while since i've posted (i am completely out - wife and kids still in) but thought you might this interesting.. they came home from the district convention yesterday with the new dvd intended for kids.
they popped it in right away and this is what happens:.
I want to rescue Caleb
i have a well educated friend (who happens to be african - american) and i love our discussions because i can talk to her openly and honestly, with less guardedness than others.
on one hand, i feel i'm right - but on the other hand, i acknowledge that she may have a viewpoint that i haven't considered.. we argue about obama - she, that he may lose due to racism, i , that racism didn't prevent him from being elected.
as to 'justice for trayvon' being a reason for black on white violence, let me ask the following:.
In my family, the grandchildren, neices and nephews represent: Italians, Austrians, South Americans, Ukranians, Phillipinos, and Swedes.
I used to be proud of our multi-national family, but the JW's have stolen that from us, as well. The religion divides us now.
Tal:
We also had a shocking episode of cross-burning and racial persecution happen right here in Nova Scotia last year. These heinous acts were committed against a bi-racial couple, who lived in the country, and were perpetrated by a group of red-neck youths. It was a humbling lesson that racism and white supremacy have a hold here as well.
The Maritimes part of Canada is unique in this - they are the shame of Canada when it comes to racism against Blacks.
And just to show both sides of the coin, my personal experience has been of being physically assaulted by youths of colour while walking through 'the hood', and having the neighbourhood cheer them on, in broad daylight. Why? Well, I remember hearing these words "Get the white bitch!"
See above. Also, I am appalled that this happened to you (((Tal )))

The whole thing just screams, "We've never raised children and have no idea what we're talking about!"
You are welcome Palmtree & BabaYaga...
Look, Baba....our names together again......
i've been in the vale of deep shadows, but am feeling more and more like myself.. i'm grateful to my doctors and modern medicine.. sylvia.
i've uploaded a new blog article that addresses the latest dvd release at the current district convention, namely "become jehovah's friend!
" - the tale of young caleb and his brush with divine wrath over a plastic toy wizard.
a link to the article, which includes the youtube samples of the production, is below:.
As a parent raising children in the Org, this type of information plays on the fears of parents, too.
It sends the message that if your children aren't obedient little robots, you are failing as a parent.
Remember years ago, the "experience" of the sister who would splash water onto her toddler's face to keep him awake at the meetings? Suddenly, anyone who let their kid sleep at a meeting or assembly was a bad parent.....
