greetings friends: .
this article, from june, is in today's god discussion.
The second time I went to Alaska I went with my best friend who was also a witness. It was my favorite vacation to date! I got out of the rental and we walked near it. That wasn't good enough for me. I had to climb on top of it and feel it. Next to the Northern Lights, it was the most beautiful thing in nature I have ever seen. That frosty blue color is equisite, and the majesty of it all is awe-inspiring.
I enjoyed the video..thanks
as you may know, victims from the nazi camps can get compensation, and the watchtower has naturally found a new way to get money - from the dead!
they propose that they will get the money - and "give it away to needy jws".
since when did the watchtower do anything of the kind?
Is this a frigging joke? There's no mention of allocating any of the $$ to the acutal FAMILY of survivors. And really, what they say they would use money for and what they would ACTUALLY use it for is probably two entirely different things!
I am so glad I'm outta there! Jehovah must be 'nashin his teeth alright, at the TRUE Apostates!!
as most of us here are aware the wt society is using the " kool-aid " , or witness only version as i call it - to indoctrinate and intimidate jw members through fear and guilt to avoid anything that takes their devotion and attention away from allegiance to the wt society's ambitions.
so the wt society is amping up it's control methods once again in various articles in this issue as well.. first off - notice this quote from page 14 , paragraph 16 , regarding how " dangerous " allegedly the internet is.
it states, " these desires ( of the world ) involve such things as promiscuity, prominence , and possessions.
just ran across this.
the last time i saw him, he was in a celebrity rehab program and looked incredibly horrible.
sad to hear of this news, and it doesn't look hopeful.
while on the subject of some wacko making yet another prediction, i found this info on time.com.. .
the onset of world war i freaked a lot of people out.
but it was especially trippy for the zion's watch tower tract society, a group that's now called jehovah's witnesses.
I heard on the radio today that Camping made a mistake. May was not the correct month, but rather it is 5 months from now. Oh, glad he was able to admit his mistake and clariy things. Dejavu all over again in 5 months ya'all

today i uploaded a new article to my blog comparing what a watchtower lawyer wrote in a medical journal with what watchtower had actually directed.
i think readers will find it of more than a little interest.

The medical directives were to be displayed in your wallet in such a way that if you got into an accident, that would be the first thing the EMT's, police, etc. would see. I shopped for a wallet that had a clear front cover, so it was dispayed on the outside of it. I was able to witness over it too, when someone inquired about the document
I also went to a bloodless seminar at a hospital, given by two sisters who showed a film on the new bloodless procedures. You could also pick up a keychain and decal for your vehicle indicating "no blood". I got the decal, and although I've drifted away from the "Truth" the last couple of years, only since I've been on this board, reading about all the hypocrisy and lies did I peel that off and throw it away.
Also, there was a living will document that had your wishes about non-blood issues as well as end-of-life wishes. Didn't the brothers keep a copy or the original? I know I had either the original or a copy at my house, gave an elder a copy and a friend. I thought that was a suggestion as well. Does anyone else remember this other document or details? Sorry if it has been mentioned above and I missed it. Thanku

Thank you for that information, Marvin. Indeed he knew full well what the WTBTS admonition was and how to get the witnesses to adhere. They didn't just give them out to anyone who asked. You were given one if you were baptised. You filled them out and signaures were witnessed at the book studies, if possible.
Anything else he told was total BS. When I look back, it confirms that no matter how hard leaving was, I did the best thing.
Keep up your fantastic work, Marvin!
i am using this as my very own personal therapy session to express some of what has been swimming around in my head~.
it may not take much shape, i'll be letting it flow.... there is nothing like feeling understood and accepted and loved for who you are.
but that's a difficult thing to really feel when there is little or no history with a person.
You are exquisite and your words move me, Faerie. Now stop it
