"Witness" health disorders
by Pathofthorns innot to demean any who may genuinely suffer from the following conditions, but it seems that every time the society puts out an article on certain "illnesses", coincidentally there is an increase in the latest fad medical condition among witnesses.. the illnesses i'm referring to are chronic fatigue syndrome (cfs), fibromialgia, burnout, depression, and the latest from awake, multiple chemical sensitivity (mcs).. while there are many who genuinely suffer from these illnesses, it almost seems that people (usually sisters late 30's and 40's) delight in discussing which of these sickness they have.
i figure, either a) if they genuinely have these conditions, a large contributing factor is the "truth" and all of the politics that go along with it as well as the routine.
also stress from things like poor financial planning, also due to past policies of the society.. or b) these illnesses are often conveniently self-diagnosed or difficult to prove and provide nice excuses for staying away from meetings/service, and to take frequent vacations.

One for the road
by Pathofthorns inso i've been trying to slowly fade away, just going to meetings on sundays, and even then its been hit and miss.
i figure the daniel book is a write off with 607 figuring prominently along with all the "fulfillments" based on it, and since i'm not going out in service, the tms/sm is a waste of time.. even sundays play out like a broken record, the wt study articles show no sign of real change, but a clinging to power and a re-defining of wt history.
the public talks are sheer fantasy.. the sad thing is, i like the people, and perhaps even the concept is attractive.

The Tale of Five Officers
by waiting inthe tale of the five officers (2000) by mark.
i. vuletic.
when ms. k. was slowly raped and murdered by a common thug over the course of one hour and 55 minutes, in plain sight of five fully-armed off-duty police officers who ignored her terrified cries for help and instead just looked on until the act was carried to it's gruesome end, i found myself facing a personal crisis.

HORNED WILD BEASTS AND STUFF
by Zep inthis really hasn't got anything to do with sex, but i figure if you can have a masterbation thread in the bible research forum, why not bible research in the sex forum...besides, its groovey down here and bible study is such a turn on sometimes!.
luke refers to the gentile times, when jerusalem will be trampled until the times of the gentiles shall be complete.this is 607bce to 1914.
" jerusalem" here refers not to literal jerusalem, though you wouldn't know it from reading luke if the wt hadn't told you, but actually refers to "spiritual" or symbolic jerusalem..so the trampling should stop in 1914.well.....according to them(wt) the trampling does but it doesn't.. rev11:2....they holy city will be trampled on underfoot for 42 months....this is from 1914-1918...so the trampling of jerusalem stops in 1914, but at the same time also continues past 1914 to 1918 according to the wt.....what do the witnesses or russelites do during this peroid, well its supposed to be a peroid of persecution, thats why jerusalem is trampled...well, it must have been some peroid of persecution because while all this trampling is going on they are doing this:.
