A-M, How do we know that you are not a false prophet? The bible tells us to watch out for false prophets. Can you give us a sign that would prove without doubt that you are a true prophet? God will back a true prophet to produce a sign as proof, just as he did in ancient times.

The start of Armageddon
by Armageddon-Messenger in<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } p { margin-bottom: 0.08in } a:link { so-language: zxx } --> hi everyone:.
i am armageddon messenger, the one that jesus said he would send to tell "you" the things coming.-john 16:12-14. .
as it should be expected, the governing body of jw's are not willing and will not accept me as a "prophet" because according to them, jehovah only communicates trough them.... .

They just build a new hall a couple years ago where I live and it has windows. This could be due to the fact that they built in a subdivision that has restrictions and may have been forced to put them in. Not sure though, I was already gone when they built the new building.

by La Falta Habitacion Por Sr Hor-Hey!! injust wondering.

Oh yes, I made that mistake when we went to Yosemite and went up Glacier Point 7,000 ft they day after getting there. I got so sick it was hard just driving back down the mountain.
The highest point in the Smokies is Clingman's dome, almost the same elivation but have never experienced the same problem there as I did in Yosemite.
Maybe altitude sickness is like getting sea sick? I used go on dive boats all the time and laugh at the guys hanging off the back of the boat throwing up, then one time it happened to me too.
Edit to add: Field Service Sucks! (Just to stay on topic, I would rather get altitude sickness before going out in field service.)

Field service is usually the very first thing to go once folks become enlightened.
Miz, are you really that slow of a learner or just a glutton for punishment?

Medical Marijuana, Your opinion please?
by Greybeard indo any of you use medical marijuana?
i go to aa and there are a few who believe medical marijuana is an "outside issue" and they are ok with it.
i don't know... alcohol doesn't work for me but if it did, i would use it... i wish i could find a "new drug" that works lol.

Yes it can help with pain issues. There is no physical addiction. I have at times smoked on a daily basis for long period of time and then stop cold turkey to go on a buisness trip and have zero issues.
If used for medical reasons on a regular basis, you should vap it, not smoke it.
Edit to add: You can't over dose on MJ. If you get to much, you just fall asleep.
I also have never heard of anyone beating their spouse in a fit of rage after smoking to much pot. The same can't be said for alcohol.

Break every dumb rule thay have that won't get you DF. Grow a beard and start asking, why is it wrong, says nothing in the bible about it to others in the congregation if anyone says anything. Jesus had one, CT russel had one.. etc. But at the same time ask to work out in FS with the elders and MS. Get a tatoo, if anyone says anything, chalenge it, show them in the bible where it says you should not have a tat, next verse says you should not cut your beard. Start making comments at the WT study on any paragraph that talks about Jesus, really talk Jesus up, talk about Jesus all the time, not Jehovah. They can't DF you for that but they will get really uncomforatable with it all and the fact that others will start questioning their stupid rules that they will be more than happy to see you leave and never come back.
They may hassle you some, they would only let me give talks in the 3rd school in the basement, the elders and MS would stand me up for FS. Then just leave and tell everyone you were stumbled by the elders. If they kick you out of the MS, tell everyone you were stumbled by the elders.
It worked for me. I left over 10 years ago after taking this appoach, have had the same phone number since, so the elders know my phone number, they knew where I lived for 4 years before I moved and they never called to try to get me to come back.
They will be happy to see you go! And they can't touch you, because you never commited a DF offense.

The Path to FREEDOM
by SweetBabyCheezits ini realize i peddle carl sagan like christians peddle jesus but i think every one of us who has survived the watchtower, regardless of our current beliefs, should be able to appreciate this.
in the path to freedom (chapter from one of his books), sagan was discussing frederick (bailey) douglass's life in the early 19th century and his quest for literal freedom.
see if anything here sounds familiar:.

How true, it is amazing that the WT and other religions still consider the account of adam and eve as literal with all the physical evidence to the contrary. Keeping people ignorant with information control.
Glad you are still around SBC, I only have time for about one hour a week on this site, always click on your posts. good post!

My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.
