why did jehovah have to protect the enterence to eden with a flaming sword after kicking adam and eve out when all one had to do to get back in was to hop over the fence further up the road?.
one of the bible's mysteries..
Edmond Dantes>>>>>What is the purpose of your visit, how long do you intend to stay and what is your interest in 2 naked people.
That was really funny. lol

Terry, You are such a good guy.
My Brother was in prison for 2 years, less a day. The few brothers that were with him, that I knew, all left the Truth(tm). Life after prison, without help, was dreadful.
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society are cruel villains, masquerading as up-right Popes and honest. What a laugh! WTB&TS, Pope and honest in the same sentence? lol
My Brother and the other brothers that went to prison were really treated like scum, when they returned home. It took a marriage to the presiding overseer's daughter, and a few more years as a regular pioneer, without making any real money, that finally did him in. His wife's ambition was to be a missionary. My Brother, after being in prison, needed a less stressful and structured life. After 2 children, the marriage was doomed.
Are you writing a book about JW life?
Have you ever read, or has there ever been put together, any journal of JW brothers that are taken by the FBI to the County Jail, then Prison, and has there been any follow-up after their release? I don't know of any.
In behalf of my Brother, I would like to send you a small gift. Where might I send it?

Awakening, Welcome. I wish you every success in your exit.
I hope the Love of Your Life wakes up to TTATT and escapes with you.

Edmond Dantes...The Count of Monte Cristo. What's not to love about him. He was the original Superman. lol
Just Lois :(
what would you tell or ask these group of men if they called you in for a meeting?.
.
Chuckle-chuckle-laugh-laugh.
"Tell us about your annointing experience". Yes please.
"Tell us what the Bible really teaches". lol
All these comments are so funny.
It is disgusting how self serving these creeps are .
Christ like? No. Pope like? Yes.

good day...so this is the conversation i had with a co-worker of mine i mentioned in an earlier thread...shes a jw and doesnt know that i was associated with the jws before and that im a fader.
This is interesting. I hope you will keep us posted.
It is so weird knowing TTATT and hearing how your Co-worker is trying to explain it to you.
You know she is a sweet-heart and trying her hardest, give her points for that.

this article explained a great deal.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/shortcuts/2013/jan/14/cant-read-scientology-book-uk.
now i know a main reason why it is so difficult to get uk newspapers to pick up a good jw-related story.. it's not just because jws are a tiny religion.
after all, scientology is arguably even smaller than jws, and they get more media exposure than we do.. it seems the extreme libel laws may be predominantly to blame for the watchtower's successful evasion of newpaper and television reports in the uk.. .
Thank you, Cedars.

freedomlovers post about her dads letter got me thinking about my dad, in fact, it sounds like it could have been written by my dad.
every once in a while it really hits me that he is no longer here to talk to.
unlike most of you, i wouldnt have been afraid to approach him with questions or doubts.
Great story and Father, Coffee_Black.
