DO U BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER DEATH?
by Mary ineven though we were all raised with the firm doctrine that absolutely nothing happens to you after death, (except for those baptized before 1935 of course), does anyone here think that maybe something does happen after we die?
i've seen some programs about people that have reported having near death experiences.
while this doesn't offer proof, i find it very strange that one individual, during her nde, repeated a conversation she heard on an entirely different floor in the hospital while she was clinically dead.

FAMOUS QUOTES...........
by Mary injust to lighten the mood, let's all try to think of a famous quote and apply it to something in the organization, see how it turns out....just in case someone's not familiar with the quote, i've put where they're really from at the bottom.........
"i did not - have - sexual - relations - with that woman!
" --------charles t. russell at his divorce hearing when asked about an adulterous relationship; .

I DISTRIBUTED 1,000 FLYERS!
by Mary ini'm tired as hell today.
yesterday, i typed up a flyer saying how jehovah's witnesses' protect pedophiles, and how many who have spoken out trying to protect children from wt policy have been excommunicated from the church.
i didn't want to make it too long, but i ended by saying "how would you feel if on saturday morning, a knock comes to the door and your 6 year old runs to open it.

WHAT'S THE WORSE THING YOU DID AT THE MEETING?
by Mary ini would have to say the worst (aka: funniest) thing i ever did at a meeting was when i sat with the circuit overseer and his wife (many moons ago......) .
anyway, he was really prim and proper and she was of course, a very submissive wife who barely spoke without her husbands permission.
anyway, he goes to the platform and starts off by asking th audience: who was ahab?

WHY DO THEY IGNORE PEDOPHILIA?
by Mary inwhy do you think the organization, the governing body in particular, are so reluctant to deal with the issue of pedophilia head on?
after all, they'll disfellowship elders without a moments hesitation for adultery, fornication, smoking, doing drugs, gambling, homosexuality, even murder........what makes the issue of dealing with elders who are guilty of one of the worst crimes of all, raping young children, so foreign to them?.
my own opinion is that the organization is just starting to learn how to live in the 20th century.......forget the 21st century; they won't be there for another 80 years.

ANY CHANCE THE GB MEMBERS COULD BE SUBPEONED???
by Mary inif any of the child molestation cases actually go to court, or if any of those witnesses that get disfellowshipped sue the society, what are the chances that some of the governing body members would get subpeoned to testify in court?
to me, this would be the best thing that could happen: these morons having to testify in open court and having to answer some pretty tough questions about their absurd policies and why these people have been disfellowshipped.. they'd look as stupid as freddie franz did when he was in court and said that jehovah was the editor of the watchtower since 1931..............i can see these bozos saying the same thing:.
q: who decided that nothing would be done to pedophiles in the congregations, if they are elders?.

CANADA DAY vs. INDEPENDENCE DAY!
by Mary in.
i was coming home this evening from some ex-witness friends of mine (after part-y-ing), and i had the windows on my car down, playing one of elvis' tapes..........i was stopped at the stop light and i noticed several people sitting on the street giving me dirty looks and i couldn't figure out why at first.......then it dawned on me: they were waiting to see the canada day parade and i was playing "dixie" on my car cd.........(hehehehehehehehe........) i guess not a smart thing to do........ the parade sucked dead rocks and i was just wondering if it was only in my locale, or if other canadians also experienced a crap-o-rama parade.........seeing as this is the first july 4th party since 9-11, i assume that americans will be going all-out in their display of patriotism (i can't blame em) and i wanted to see what others had to say about their country's celebration.......hell up here, all the stores, malls, everything closes up like a ghost town - nothing's open on canada day............
