tha birds and tha beez - ADULT content
by bonovox inok, lets see if i can do this without getting carried away...lol.... allow me to pose a hypothetical situation:.
you have known john and jane for a couple of years now, and so far they appear to be the perfectly happy 'normal' married couple.
they seem totally into each other and when in public usually can't keep their hands off each other.

ARE YOU INTERESTED?
by D8TA inhello watchtower monitors and people of the board....here's the game.. somewhere, in the united states, there is going to be an apostate showing up at one of your district assemblies, he will be sporting a rainbow wig and a john 3:16 sign.
inside the convention.. now now, before apologists and dissents come my way.....i got a protest permit to be on said premis, and also, once i wear the wig and show the sign....as soon as they tell me to leave, i will comply...therefore i cant go to jail(saaay all you want, i already have an "ace up the sleeve" on this, so guess what?
you're wrong if you even think otherwise hehheheheheh).

My idea for a book.
by TheContagion in"even if an organized religion is formed with good intentions, it is only a matter of time before the organization becomes greater than the members.
once this happens, the priority of the leaders shifts from the well-being of the members to the well-being of the organization.".
(this quote from elsewhere inspired me to share an idea that i have had running through my brain with the intention of one day writing a book about.

by TheContagion ini was half dreaming one time before i fell asleep last week, you know where your daydreams start to get more real as you get more sleepy.
i was listening to an interview with bill and imagining myself at the big assembly'n what it would be like to go back there this year, how i might get treated, who would recognize me, and whether i would bump into my dad.
found my self getting angry from what i was hearing in the interview with bill.

Time for Silentlambs to address blood issue?
by Pathofthorns ini just wanted to say that perhaps now is a good time for the silentlambs group to add a fight against the society's blood policy to their agenda.
i think the society's latest actions in response to their pressure could be considered a reasonable victory and unless the attack is broadened to include child abuse and blood, i think their 15 minutes could be up.. i see the molestation issue and the respect gained in media circles for the silentlambs group providing a "limited time" opportunity to use this issue as a springboard to launch another offensive.. the society's recent actions regarding child molestation make the issue increasingly difficult to convince the public and active jws of the need for future major changes to their policy.
valuable time spent on the issue of molestation and trying to force the society to bend on the last few remaining "demands" while probably hundreds of witnesses die each year due to lack of blood might be better focused in another direction.. i think the common understanding that witnesses should be able to personally decide their healthcare without influence and threat of sanctions or reprisals from the congregation will be much easier to form a more united effort against the society.
