i feel sorry for y'all, it's a shame millions are turning away from the bible> make note: you cant not believe in god the father & the messiah if you do not believe in the bible .
jesus: surely i come quickly> christ time period is different than man eyes... same as jehovah, but know that armageddon will come!
u2k: changing the world this dec, watch how i help the world, doing everything for jehovah god & the messiah, continue to watch 24/7 and survive till the end of age, and to stand before the son of man- luke 21:36 *crying* .
Oh I believe very much in the bible. I do not believe however in the Magazine called the Watchtower or the man made organization behind it. You feel for us, but I feel sorry for you as obviously you feel that you need that publication to tell you what the bible says instead of the bible itself. If you believed in the bible itself without the aid of any other publications you would see what many and most already do.

i received a call from the baltimore sun today three jw victims came forward and they are doing a story.
evansville tv news crew doing a story today on jw molestation because a victim came forward.
more articles coming out in the tennessean due to more victims coming forward.
That is excellent. May they all come out and overwhelm the forces of the Watchtower!

viewing the tennesseans article today "disfellowship described as being 'worse then death'" one of my co-workers asked if this was true.. i told him that many have viewed it that way in different aspects.
some have been driven to suicide because of not knowing how to deal with the prospect of being df'd.
they are cut off from their family, and the only people they have really been allowed to associate with as friends.. this brought out a question from my husband on the way home from work tonight: "are jehovah's witnesses really a happy group of people?".
They are programmed to think they're happy regardless if they are or not. It's really an amazing thing.

"[jehovah's witnesses] have some ... very well-designed articles telling parents how to teach their children to deal with the molestation situation .
and in ways so that the child will feel secure about coming home and reporting it."dr.

Sure report it to the police so you too can be disfellowshipped for being a victim.
I hate to keep saying it but to the Watchtower jerkoffs out there here's to ya:
Choke on that ya lousy bastards!

i see 1.16 million witnesses world-wide.
the number of remnant will still be around 8000. the generation that saw 1914 will all be dead.
food shortages will just about be ending and the society will use the "earthquakes" logic to explain this.
That sounds about right. Of course by then this site will be so huge it will need 20 times the bandwith to work properly with the extra half a million apostates here
-Rick
i still cannot believe i found this site.. there are so many people here that sound so much like me (except.
the whole lesbian thang!

I too appreciate this board. It is people like yourself Katie that make it special

i have not been on the site for awhile.
i have been really busy with school and work.
but now things are calmed down a bit, and i am back... so hi again to everyone i missed, and also to anyone new.
I haven't wrote a talk since 1988. And guess what?? I don't miss it a bit.. hehehehe

in the new thread posted by obie fernandez,.
things look a little askew....imho.. as quite a few of you know, obie was the owner/moderator of witnet before he closed it and moved on to greener...um...apostate pastures.. he's a great guy, that's not the point...... however, i logged on this morning to see this new thread, it had an amazing 336 views in under an hour or so....and only 3 comments!!!.
i'm guessing there's a ton of wt watchers on here....they all know obie.
That is a great observation. So many views so fast and only 3 replies does not add up. Well once again I give the Watchtower police my thoughts of them as they read this post

there was some discussion here over the weekend concerning recollections of the australian branch engaging in commercial activities in the past.. the proclaimers book has a discussion of this and for those who may not have read it, i've 'cut and pasted' it here:.
a related problem arose in australia starting in 1938 and escalated during the ban on the society (january 1941 to june 1943).
in order to care for what at the time seemed to be valid needs, the branch office of the society got directly involved in a variety of commercial activities.
So what are they saying here? They sold donuts to the military and couldn't live with themselves or something?? LOL... Gotta love it though.
