Gracey darlin', for us old-timers you are JWD/JWN. Nothing can take away those good memories of a few years back. My take on all this is that the faces change but the message doesn't, the hurt from the Borg is still the same.

The new generation may be a bit different but not all of the past few years was sweetness and light was it?

For Mrs Ozzie and I, we've become so occupied with other things that we're truly over the borg and its evil empire. They're an irrelevance to us. We lost all our children and relatives in the process but so be it, as i remind Mrs Ozzie, we all make choices.

Ours is a life of real freedom and we feel so free! If you need to take a break, my advice is, do it, you'll soon wonder what the fuss was all about! Truly.

Very best regards to you.

Cheers,

Ozzie

I remember!

owyergoinmate?

They were good times, eh?

Been real busy these past couple of years - the Borg is a distant memory although the pain is still there courtesy of the family shunning. Still we see how irrelevant the WT really is - and we thought we'd rule the world!

Stay well cobber.

BTW some of the friends here keep in contact on Facebook.

Cheers, Ozzie

Australians can you help this person?

by Gordy in

i received today an email from a friend who in turn where contacted by this lady in sydney, australia.. .

i post what she wrote, if any one in australia can help or know of someone or group there that can help.. .

i will let you have her email address.

Gordy, I'm in the Sydney Bethel area. Before 'jumping in' I would think that there must be more to the story. Has your friend told you any more details?

I DO believe that the dubs break up families but I know that they would not encourage a new convert to abandon his wife and children.

Another thing that makes me wonder at the veracity of this is the sentence:

He told me that I am not the wife he wants, he wants a Jehovah's Witness wife

That just isn't on! If he were to try that, he'd be DFed for adultery.

In short, more information needed.

cheers,

Ozzie

2010 District Convention - Some Thoughts on the Sunday Afternoon Session

by Olin Moyles Ghost in

out of a sense of morbid curiosity, i recently attended the sunday afternoon session of the district convention.

the session consisted of a drama and the infamous "remain in the secret place of the most high" talk.

overall, i got a sense that the wts is in damage control mode because the end hasn't come yet.

So as I understand them, the Borgmeisters are now saying that "the generation" comprises two groups. Is this another of their Bible-based™ teachings? Try as I might, I just don't find any scripture that even mentions it, let alone describes it.

How sad for those still duped.

Help with another 607 vs 587 question............

by thraxer68 in

ok, this is driving me nuts for whatever reason i cant get past the bolded part.

can someone maybe explain that a little?

if this even makes sense, im usually not t his dense, i've been reading this for ever and for some reason i keep getting thrown off track at that part.

ozziepost

Oh dear, I've been away a while and who do i see, like a blast from the past, it's pseudo-scholar!

OK, I'll bite.

Perhaps scholar can elaborate on this comment:

Ezra was a historian

Really? What is the criteria for a historian? Is that how he saw himself?

i just received word that ray franz passed away today at 1:37 pm eastern daylight time.

the cause of death is stated as head trauma, likely due to falling to the ground, and a stroke could have also been part of the cause or a result of the fall.

he died at emory university hospital in atlanta about 17 minutes after being taken off life support.

Mrs Ozzie and I were greatly helped by him. Along with a number of friends in the borg, we used to meet together and discuss various chapters from both his books. We all found it a very confirming experience. That was many years ago now and we have all moved much further along the paths set for us.

We rejoice that we have found real christian freedom.

R.I.P. Ray and thank you.
