Pedophiles in your congregation??
by ziddina ini'm listening to the "six screens of the watchtower" broadcast from october 25, 2008 [yeah, i know, i'm waaay behind...], discussing pedophilia... that broadcast caused me to look up the current status of 'pedophilia notification' in the u.s.a..... rebel8 posted a link sometime back that gave locations of pedophiles in one's (u.s.a.) neighborhood... that portion of the link is, unfortunately, not working right now.... i decided to check out my [old] site, http://www.nsopw.gov/core/offendersearchcriteria.aspx to see if it still functioned the same way.... again, unfortunately, that site is also no longer giving out maps of one's area.... but, as pointed out in rebel8's posted link, pedophiles tend to move around.
this was also mentioned in the six screens broadcast by a lady named "lilly".... the new versions of both sites simply allow one to input the name of someone suspected to be a pedophile... not as effective, imo, but perhaps the cost of updating the maps due to pedophiles' high mobility became prohibitive.. so, here's my suggestion... using the 'name' search function, check out every name in .
your congregation, starting with the elders!!!.

Ex-JWs, How Many People Have Left the WTBTS Due To Your Efforts?
by ziddina inand, while we're at it, what did you feel was the best technique/were the best techniques for 'awakening' jws to the problems/threats within the wtbts??.
i was initially awakened by the realization that the bible writers had no clue about how the earth really worked - which meant that their god had no clue, either.
when exodus 19: 16-19 was read in the kh, i realized (as a young child, 7 or 8 if i remember correctly...) that those bible verses were describing a volcanic eruption - and the isra-el-ites - and their 'god' - were totally clueless as to the true nature of that eruption and mountain.... that was my first eye-opener... then there was the fellow - a householder - who said to me when i was a cute kid at the door helping 'spread the word', "those people are using you!".

"RAIN" - 1932 Movie starring Joan Crawford, Walter Huston
by ziddina in(hate posting this under 'entertainment' because the movie - though old - speaks volumes about "reformist" mentality and the hypocrisy that frequently accompanies it...).

So If Someone's been Pagan they can't be RE-instated???
by ziddina ini noticed this comment by awen on cyberjesus' thread about needing help because the elders were going to call and he wanted to perform an intervention.... awen wrote: "i was informed by one of the elders (not the po, but someone with "pull") that because i had been involved in paganism after i was disfellowshipped, that i would have to wait longer for reinstatement than for the immorality i was originally dfed for 10 years before that.
i pleaded my case that i was no longer practicing that and had been out of it for a year prior to seeking reinstatement and that it shouldn't matter.
i came to learn from this elder that because of my pagan practices, in his opinion i would never be reinstated....".

What?!? NO-ONE's speculating on the WTBTS getting any of Michael's $$??
by ziddina inwhaaaat?
no - one is speculating on michael jackson's mom donating, say, 30 million bucks to the wtbts if she gets her grubby little hands on all that money as the kids' guardian???
i pity those poor kids - they're doomed to be beaten - er, 'raised in the truth' - by grandmumsy dearest.... wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall at a governing body meeting about michael jackson's money??

Hiking and Trail Safety tips...
by ziddina ini've done quite a bit of hiking on mountain trails, semi-arid prairie trails, and desert trails... i'd like to pass along a few tips for survival.... first and foremost!!!
i've seen so many people blundering down the local trails with music blaring in their ears, 'bluetooth' hands' free phones in their ears, and so on.... these people are just asking to be taken down by some sort of predator.
the first time i was stalked by a cougar, my ears alerted me to the fact i was in danger!!
