Mr Moe,
How terrible!!
I just heard on CNN that a second case of anthrax is confirmed in FL.
This was another man who worked at the same place as the first case.
They have shut the place down and have discowered Anthrax spores on a computer key board there.
Take care,
Ranchette

The Painting-Do You See It?
by messenger inhow do you feel after seeing the truth about the truth"?
perhaps the following illustration posted on wol might help you to define your thinking.
a brother and his wife were visiting the holocaust museum, and from a little distance, they spotted a nazi-era painting hanging at the end of a hallway.

Messenger,
Excellent illustration!
I sure identify with these words in so many ways.
Especially now, because it describes so well my frustration in trying to get JW friends and family to just open their eyes and look!
I've never seen a group that uses the word truth so much yet are so disinterested in making sure of,testing, or finding "truth."Ranchette

Supplementary meeting: synopsis
by Moxy inthe meetings were held in michigan (bibleexaminer), long island (nytelecom), san diego (elder families only), and here in toronto.. the stadium we used is the same we normally use for district conventions.
unlike the dc tho, which is spread over 2 weekends at the stadium, it was packed absolutely full.
it was very hard to find seats anywhere, just a few singles here and there and lots standing in the halls.

Moxy,
Thanks for taking the time to fill us in on the not-so-special,
special meeting.I know this must have been painful for you.
I got a kick out of your "goosebomps" comment.

Apostates responsible?
by TweetieBirdAtWork innote: i originally posted this under the un/ngo thread, but decided to make a new thread.. while the board was down yesterday (sunday) i wandered over to h20's site to check out the discussions about this whole un/ngo-wtbts connection.
someone had alluded to the fact that perhaps apostates were actually the ones that forged lloyd barry's signature and filled out the paperwork to get the society signed up as an ngo.. here's the link:.

Hi Tweety,
I went over to H20 last night too and after this retard acused the apostates he then basically hinted that Barry was struck down dead right infront of an audience!Heres that portion of his post.Date Posted: 10/05/2001 9:51 AM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you also noticed that the Watchtower Society’s application to become a Non-Government Organization of the United Nations was signed by Lloyd Barry of the Governing Body who later was suddenly struck dead while giving a talk in Honolulu in which he said that Jehovah will destroy all His enemies? This reminds me of how Herod sought to give himself glory and also suddenly expired by the hand of God although Barry died of a heartattack while Herod was eaten up by worms. See, Jah does take note of those who oppose Himself and sell out by linking church to state.
----------------------------------------------------------------------This person is a major trouble maker!He also started a thread over there where he tries to smear Simon and Silentlambs!

just one question
by beepers ini am an inactive witness.
the problem i'm having is that i have a 1 year old daughter.
not that she's the problem, but jw's believe that only jw's will survive armageddon.

Beepers,
You have gotten some good advice so far. I just want to add that when I quit going to meetings I was terrified because I was so confused even though I was resolved in my decision to leave the organization.I remember that fear you describe. We as parents take our responsibilities seriously and would never want to be the cause of harm to them.Also If your like some of us your fears are compounded by what JW friends and family say to you.
What you are feeling is normal. You were taught that Jews have all the answers and when you realize that’s not true and you find that Jah really isn’t behind them your still scared because you feel God expects you to have all the answers or else! Also you were taught not to trust yourself.
That simply is not true. That is left over from what you were taught before.We were also taught conflicting things about God. We were taught he is a God of love and understanding and also a harsh and demanding one.
What helped calm me down the most was this discussion board and reading. They have both been a life saver as far as my mental and emotional state.Someone already recommended one or two great books but one I’d like to add to your list is by Steven Hassen called Combating Cult Mind Control.
This book will help you deal with those fears and destructive thought patterns.If you continue your journey and not get paralyzed in one-place things will get much better for you.

This doesn't sound like the Beroea I remember.
Hopfully he's just messing with us.
Also FYI Beroea is not from this country and has execellent english and spelling for someone who speaks another language.Hello Beroea,
How are you?
Please catch us up on whats been going on with you and your family.
Also I urge you to read the UN threads if you haven't already.
Hot stuff!!!

PARADISE HOPE FOR THE NON-RELIGIOUS APOSTATE
by Ranchette inyes, we non-religious apostates have our paradise fantasies too.
most of us let go of the fantasy of living forever on a paradise earth for another hope.
the one we hope in is a little more realistic than the one we have left behind.. we have accepted that we dont have all the answers about god and an afterlife.
