Society of the 'Quiet and Unseen' Apostate Legends League?
Society of Underground Ex-witnesses of the United States?
C'mon - you guys can do better than 'UADNA'!

the time has finally come.
i am getting dangerously close to a situation where i will have to reveal to my gf's mother and siblings that not only do i not share their beliefs but the probility of them converting me to their religion is next to none.
relaying this information could cause one hell of alot of problems with the situation as it satnds.. in my country which is mainly christian the the jws eventhough not accepted are permitted to continue with their faith.
If I did that they would ask me how I knew where to look and more importantly WHO TOLD ME WHERE TO LOOK.
You've nailed it on the head here. They don't care WHAT the information is - just WHERE it came from. As soon as they here 'internet' or 'apostate literature', they immediately turn their ears off (can't help it - they have been brainwashed to do it their entire witness lives).
It's sick, sad, and infuriating, but once that 'off' switch is flipped you could warn them, standing on the road, about a truck about to hit them from behind, and they won't hear a word you say.

Hmmm...other suggestions:
Apostate Literature and Tract Society
(ALTS)
Secret Order of the Unseen Apostates (I like this one)
(SOUA)
Member of the Unseen Apostate Hidden Agency for the Hinderance of Apostles
(MUAHAHA)
Secret Undercover Emissary of the Theocracy Haters Everlasting Mission
(SUE THEM)
I just don't like the 'directorate' thing - makes it seem centrally organized, instead of a shadowy organization secretly working in the night with the Freemasons, the Illuminati, and Majestic-12 to see to the end of the WTBTS.
You know?

the memorial last night was nothing new.
the routine never changes.
two congregations joined together for the night in one building.
pull out a bag of doritos ...just point to the bag and give a big grin.
Oooh, better....picture the scene...corny 80s fun-pop tune playing as the memorial plates are passed among the people in the row in front of you. Suddenly, a loud crunch is heard! Everyone is up in arms!
Then, the person in front of you turns around - smiles and gives you the 'Mentos thumbs-up'.
Everybody smiles and has a good laugh.

so, how many of you woke up with this song in your head this morning?.
no matter how hard i try, it seems i can't get this song out of my head this morning.
"the bread stands for jesus christ body, he gave on behalf of us all.
I REALLY despised most of all was the fact the EVERYONE sang the soprano line
HA. Were you around for the 'singing kingdom melodies' CD? They actually recorded someone singing various kingdom melodies - the brothers giving the talks introducing it invariably mentioned it was to show us 'how to sing the songs properly'.
Of course, they picked a bethel brother to sing all the songs (save 2, IIRC, done by a chorus of sisters).
It was *AWFUL* - I can't believe I listened to it.
And, boy, how our COs loved it. Now, see, we had no excuse to listen to worldy music anymore - kindgom songs should be playing in everybody's car and home!!

could humans live forever on earth?.
since i was born i believed it was my destiny to live forever in a paradise on earth.. now that dream has been put aside, i question the whole concept of an everlasting earth.. of course scientists have long pointed out that the earth does not have an infinite life span.
and even if it did there are other factors to consider.
Hydrogen/Oxygen fuel systems for rockets
I was under the impression Hydrogen-Oxygen rockets were extremely inefficient for propulsion. The amount of time you could 'burn' the engine would be too short to make meaningful speed out of it (IE., conventional wisdom has it that you'd 'burn' the engine halfway to your destination to accelerate the entire time, rotate and 'burn' to slow down, or find some other means of slowing down - but a Hydrogen ship could not carry enough fuel to keep burning halfway to even a moderately distant destination).
And, yes, I am aware the "pollutants" break down over time, and we WOULD have forever [8>], but the message the society always put forth is that no pollution would ever take place.
electromagnetic propulsion systems
Ummm...unless I am horribly mis-informed, electromagnetic fields are a product of concentrations of metals in a gravity field. Planets, that is. Once you are outside of a planetary gravity field, the background EM fields of space are chaotic, random, and minimal. FAR too little to use as propulsion.
In any case, you'd need to make the ships out of metal (and TONS of it - it takes feet upon feet of metals to provide sufficient shielding against the hard radiation of deep space). I am not aware of any refining or forging processes that do not damage the environment. And, a fleet of ships big enough to move the population of Earth?
