sad but true.
my ex-girlfriend was raised mormon.
so i went to a couple of her church services.
So, why don't Witnesses disfellowship/shun those who eat fast food and are obese?
They're not going to enforce that rule, even though it's in the "Super-Top-Secret No Girlz Alowd Elders' Treehouse Club Manual" as Neat Blue Dog put it. They know that as soon as they do, there will only be a handful of Witnesses left.

for those interested to see how the free bible students conduct the memorial service for the lords evening meal.
also before there is an actual meal with lamb served and home cooked food where everybody gets to enjoy the meal and fellowship together.
Very interesting. I listened to the audio of the Chicago Bible Students' memorial service. I noticed that they used one of the same hymns. I also noticed that they don't use the name Jehovah when they pray. I talked with a Bible Student through email, and he said that they celebrated the memorial on the 18th of April this year. It's good to be able to learn about all of these things now. Even though I'm not interested in organized religion anymore, learning from an educational standpoint helps me to be a more well rounded person. I've even been looking for video of a black mass ceremony to compare it with a JW memorial. I still haven't found one. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
remember last year the financial video was leaked and subsequently taken down.
is there a copy anywhere available.
my dad says he wants to see it with his own eyes since it says many things about why they really got rid of so many kingdom halls and simplification of literature (such as magazine reduction).. i miss the leaks like that because you can't argue with your own peoples material.
anyone curious about our i.b.s.a.

Just joking Zindagi. But I must admit that those 2 old broads give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Something about them is very familiar, like a nice apple pie. Some older JW sisters also give me that feeling, but they'd probably look down their noses at me in judgement if I tried to have a slice.

I've been corresponding with a member of the I.B.S.A. through email, and from what I can tell, they're nowhere near as strict as Watchtower. I've asked him all kinds of questions, and what he says is very interesting. We were just in the wrong faction. If I had been born into this group, maybe my life would be better now. So let's all become I.B.S.A.!!! Well I won't go that far, but it's nice to know some of the real history. Are the dots necessary when you type IBSA (or I.B.S.A.)? The title of this topic was too short without them, so I added them and now I can't stop. What do you all think?

i have recently read in the news that an attack on iran is planned sometime after the olympics in beijing.
here's a bit of background to it:.
when irans fledgling democracy was overthrown with support of cia the shah of iran was giving israel free oil thru a pipeline that still runs thru saudi arabia to a refinery in the israeli city of haifa.
so my husband who was not attending meetings for the last four months, went to the special talk, the memorial and the meeting today.
he said he feels jehovah’s spirit is back and that they are all being so kind.. i am just sick to my stomach.
he just refuses to see anything as a problem.
Please try to show him these videos:
a criticism of the wt way is the practice of using 50 words when 10 would do.
this is an example of an aged speaking style practised in the 1930s 1950's.
just look at movies from that era, political speeches etc.
Well when I was younger, I would amuse myself by thinking about all of the great food I'd have afterwards. Going out to a restaurant that night used to be a big thing, but I don't care to do that anymore. Now I don't really do anything to amuse myself. I just grin and bear it. And the whole show is about watching a SELECT FEW pass their germs around. You know that 1 weirdo, maybe 2. They're the ones that have deluded themselves into thinking that they will die and immediately go Super Saiyan Ultra Instinct, ready to mercilessly slaughter anyone who isn't baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
