  Microphone "Handling"

  by SYN in

  what is all the fuss about?

  when i was still assimilated (i.e.

  still in the borg, but wanting out every second of that time), there was so much emphasis put on microphone handling that it was almost unreal.

  Mind Control in the Watchtower

  introduction .

  having been a witness for many, many years, about 15 to be exact, i just thought i'd explain a few things for new-comers to this site about what it's like to be a "dub".

  "dub" is just a convenient shorthand for "jehovah's witness", and is not meant to be derogatory, but i think i will stick to calling them witnesses here for the sake of people visiting during the furore upon whose brink we are sitting.. much of those early years i don't really remember.

  the earlier in the forenoon you take the sun bath, the greater will be the beneficial effect, because you get more of the ultra-violet rays, which are healing.

  Kitten Burnt on Hot Coals (Serious)

  .

  this is so horrible and unimaginably cruel.

  i'm usually a very laid-back, easy-going guy, but if i ever saw people doing something this cruel to a helpless little kitten they would get to find out many painful things about the pointy end of a stick!

  been reading some interesting threads here lately.

  there's so many new faces here that i don't know...*sigh*.

  does anyone else here who's been out of the "truth(tm)" for a couple of years feel like that part of their lives was surreal?.
