I think I`m catching Ally Mcbeal sickness.....
by Sparks in....and it`s great!!!
over the past few days, when ever i start to think of the witnesses,i hear bob dylan...i`ll try to explain.
when i was still attending the meetings and still regarded my self as a witness.i would often hear very nasty remarks from other witnesses, mostly elders and full time pioneers, about those that only came to the hall for the memorial or c.os visit.the most memorable time was while out on the minestry with an elder.a young couple went by pushing their baby in a buggy.

Just got virus mailed to me
by ballistic in.
hi, i have never been the victim of hate mail or a virus since being a member of this community, however i have just received an email from lman [ [email protected]] entitled "hi,some questions", it contained an attachment target.exe which was infected with the w32.klez.h@mm virus.. the virus may not have originated from iman (whoever that is) but may have used his mailbox.. i feel i should mention this in public so we can see if it was indeed here that was the source as there may be no connection what-so-ever..

WARNING! The Elders are coming.....!
by Sparks inhi gang.
if you live in england, be exspecting a call this month from the elders of your local kingdom hall if you have been dissfellowshiped,dissociated yourself or had any contact with the congregation in the past.....no it`s not coz they want their mouldy old books back; it`s some special effot ordered from bethel to get you back.....( obviously because their numbers have crashed since that panarama program last year,`suffer little chidren).
i was out shopping, when an elder from my local kingdom hall rugby tackled me.the sod had me cornered in a shop doorway for ten minutes...he told me that this special effort is for febuary only, and because he said it`s come down from bethel, i assume it`s only england.

Logically, the DA'd should not be shunned!
by metatron inif the bible sez that shunning applies to "anyone called a brother" who engages in serious sin,.
then logically, if a person made clear to everyone - congregation, neighbors and community - that he is.
not one of jw's, no shunning would apply - over and above any 'worldly person'.. likewise, it would not apply to any df'd person either - if they made clear they are no longer a jw in any way.. of course, such logic cannot be grasped by the watchtower - who would voluntarily submit to their dominance.

do you think that there is a big exodus due from t
by dannywalsh ini dont know about you guys but im starting to get the feeling that a big fallaway is on the cards in the wt world what with all the recent scandals and the advent of the internet , information is so readily available to those in developed countries ,i feel that especially in developed nations the wt will suffer huge losses due to apathy and their extreme stand on so many issues, that many will become sick and tired of the wt treadmill of life which is so far away from the simplistic beauty of biblical christianity what do you think?
