they warn the person actually reading the book that they should heed their warnings of armageddon, as it "will come in your lifetime".
since they now pin it on the life of anybody who reads the book, only one of those who read it needs to die to prove them wrong.. if i die it didnt come in my lifetime neither!
don t these clowns really think about some of the stuff they print?.
The WTS has conditioned JW to view (even a few years ago ) as old light the statements made. I believe that this has been pushed to allow the new breed GB to say and do as they please and if you dont agree then your not keeping up with Jehovah(WTS).

this is a sugestion i have to all members of this board ,members from all over the world, to let the victorian government in australia know that the world is concerned about protecting the children of victoria ,and theirby setting a precedent for the rest of the world, who are interested in the outcome of the criminal charges against the religion of jehovah`s witnesses in refusing to abide by the legislation to get "working with children checks"when required to do so.correct me if i`m wrong but i think if all of us sent letters to the newspapers here in australia ,the different members of parliment here,we would demonstate that the victorian judicial system here is under scrutiny to do the right thing in the eyes of the world.. we all complain that the wtb&ts/jehovahs witnesses is a cult religion that sucks,destroying family relationships,here is a chance to do something about it.
whether you agree with steven unthank or not,here is an opportunity to stick up for the children of jehovah`s witnesses and every other child that a witness calls on in their door to door ministry.. what do you think ?.

Todays letter from
Donna Bauer Thanked me for writting to her with my concerns. She agreed that the Vic Governments introduction of the"Working with children Act " is a big step towards protecting children and always more can be done to strengthen this law. She states she is a mother of four children and will always support any action that protects our children.
Again this is the response i was looking for especially a mother herself and she will be aware of the actions of the WTS who had ignored this protective law.

dear friends,.
it has been a long time since i have posted.
time heals much pain, and finally, my family and i have been able to move on with our life outside of jw land.. many of you became our friends, our support system, and you know very well our exit story...we were labeled, slandered and disfellowshipped for having questions regarding the date 607. we sent out letters exposing the elders and circuit overseer to over 200 families.
Good news indeed.
Just another example of what talent would have been lost to the world by staying a JW.

i wonder if some of you know the origin of the necktie?
i have sometimes heard people saying it's a fallos-symbol, but is there a valid background for this?.
.
well done poopsiecakes exactly correct.

some business opportunities unfolded sometime back that required my full attention and excessive work hours that ended up putting a strain on me.
i started taking the edge off by drinking alcohol, too much alcohol.
the cycle of working and drinking ended up destroying my spirituality and i eventually completely quit attending meetings and every other aspect of kingdom service.

in posting this quote i do not view JW's as my enemy but rather as skinned sheep being governed by wolves and may in the near future desperatly need the help of informed ex jw. I read so i know what the WTS is trying to indoctrinate my children with.
Celestial one thing i know in life is everyone is entitled to their own taste in music,literature and entertainment. As a kid i loved and still do the whole Dungeons and Dragons experience.My parents had sessions of book burning as they uncovered my stashs of "occult" books. At least my D&D books didnt pretend to be real they were just created fiction unlike the WTS.

i want to share a potential problem that could come up in regards to those that have left the watchtower corporation and no longer accept their doctrines concerning blood.. obviously step one would be to get rid of the blood card; however.... recently i was put in the hospital to have an apendectomy.
the usual occurs in which a screening process is performed and records are updated before a major surgery; at least if your conscience.. one question the adminstrator nurse asked was whether i was still a jehovahs witness member of that church and if i still refused to accept blood.
i quickly updated my files telling them my current status and said i would accept blood.. the blood card was an indicator in an emergency if you were to be rushed to a hospital you did not know.. hospital records are not updated unless we choose to inform them.
I had a minor op last year and on the admission forms i stated no religion. But because my ex had out 3 children there it automatically listed me as a JW and in danger of a HLC elder visiting me! thankfully it didnt happen they knew i was DF so i guess they didnt need to visit me.
Good on you smiddy for joining Probus , they have done so much to help others!
so today is my birthday.
one of my "worldy" friends invited me over his house cause he thought being alone on my birthday was horrible.
we all had ice cream sunday's and we played words with friends, nothing extravagant but a way to recognize that i was born today.
happy birthday friend.

Thx smiddy its the least i could do for our children. At times in my life i have wished to be filthy rich because i would hire as many QC's as Steve would like.He really is a David verse the Goliath of the WTS.
