NOTIFY YOUR HOSPITAL & DOCTORS ABOUT JW SPYS
by MadApostate ini am sending this letter via email to both my local hospital and to several doctors (different version) who have occasion to treat my immediate family.. i thought that i would post such on the db so that others here could also do the same.
however, i would ask that you do not completely duplicate the letter, in the event that the same hospital or same doctor receive this more than once, and discard it as a hoax.
please take the time to change some of the wording, and personalize it to your own circumstances.. i will post any received replies, and i ask that others please do the same.. *****************************************.

Stupid CamelJockies
by MadApostate indetails are still unclear, but it seems that one or both of the groups of arabs arrested today at laguardia and jfk were using tickets for cross country flights to lax which had been cancelled tuesday morning after the airlines had been notified of the hijackings.. looks like there were two additional planes that were to be hijacked/crashed.

OVERFLOW KH MEETING TONITE!
by MadApostate ini just drove by the local kh on my way home, and the parking lot was overflowing, almost like at the memorial.
there were probably 50% more autos than are normaly at the average ms/sm.. is this just a local "phenomenon"?
anyone else here live near a kh?

More Bethelite Table Crumbs Please!
by MadApostate inin a controversial post in a separate thread, janh makes an extremely good observation that a certain former gb member will likely carry many, many wts "top secrets" to his grave, for whatever reasons he does not wish to divulge such.. then, on this db, former bethelites constantly exchange posts where their word choice is "cloaked" so that many of us who were not insiders are left guessing at meaning, people, etc.
obviously, even individual members of this fraternity have unique experiences and insights.
if such info is not disseminated, it is lost if that person dies naturally or in an accident.. would you folks please post more elaborately so that the rest of us can benefit from your knowledge and experience.. the statement that motivated this post made a silent reference to the author of the happiness book.

Electronic "Fun"!!!
by MadApostate inno, you perverts, this thread is not about sex toys!.
all of us have probably experienced sitting in the kh listening to some boring talk when all the sudden the sound system picks up a shortwave, cb, police, ambulance, other type radio transmission.. do we have any electronics experts here that can explain how/why this occurred; what types of stray signals sound systems are most susceptible to pick up; can filters be used to prevent such; etc., etc.. can you imagine the "fun" one could have by driving slowly by your local kh during the public talk, and blasting the sound system with: "if you want the real truth about jws, call 1-800-why-1914.".
of course, i'm sure this violates some fcc reg, but if you only did it once a month at different meetings, you likely would never be id'ed.. bored and ornery.

Vietnam War Pioneers
by MadApostate induring the same weekend conversation which stimulated my recollection of "1975 stockpiling", i also recalled the "vietnam war pioneer" phenomenon -at least that's what i call it.
i thought i would post something about it to see if others remember this.. during the 1960s, when the draft started to supply troops for the vietnam "conflict", a phenomenon developed in our area, at least, and i'm wondering if this occurred nationwide?
(i can't remember if this was officially handled in the mags and from the stage, or if it was just another one of those things that was affected quietly behind the scenes.).

Apostasy DF'ing On Hold?
by MadApostate injust read the latest posts in the "just got home..." thread, and the posts regarding "no repercussions for apostasy" jogged my memory about something i posted about a month ago.. if you will recall, i posted that an old jw acquaintance had recently obtained my email address from a relative, and had sent me an email which i quickly interpreted as an attempt to get me to put my "apostate" beliefs in writing, so there would be "hard evidence" for a judicial committee.
there were 2 or 3 other posters who related that the exact same thing had occurred to them recently.. well, i haven't heard anything since, and i even encountered an elder at the supermarket over the weekend.
we didn't exchange conversation, but we did exchange quick greetings as he hurried pass me.. the funny thing is that my own family refer to me as "the apostate", with some totally avoiding contact, some only making contact for family business, and one or two fluctuating back and forth from normal to shunning.

1975 Reaction
by MadApostate inthis past weekend, one of the few remaining jw relatives who will still discuss jw stuff with me told me about his recently attending a home bible study being conducted by an elder.
evidently, the study had been told or had picked up some info about the 1975 fiasco.
the elder totally denied that the society had stated or even led people to believe that armageddon would occur in 1975, and he naturally blamed some individual jws for misinterpreting the society's materials.
