Do it already!
by Gig inok bush, powell, and the rest of you...our us leaders and reps...quit using the weak in my opinion position that you don't want to compromise your sources or your tactical advantage at the onset of war to prevent you from offering up the necessary smoking gun.
nice job powell, the phone calls were telling, the pictures too but not so much.
we with the untrained eyes or light tables, the american public, want to believe your descriptions, but you have to know that the international community isn't so willing to trust you to the point of following you into war.

Qualified for stupidity
by Gig ini still can't believe it.
knowing that the jw's have a qualification system in place to evaluate the preparedness of teachers, publishers, and other positions in their heirarchy...schools in fact...having even to qualify for baptism:.
how in the world did this guy pass?

Not even once
by Gig ini've read my fair share of their pubs, and nowhere, ever have i seen a clearly stated repentance or a humble confession on the part of the wts.
i know that they have delicately admitted a mistake here and there, but it's always overshadowed by the self-praise logic that overall we should be thankful for the mistake.
the bible specifically speaks against that.

The proper time
by Gig inon saturday i had a full on, hate to say it, arguement with my jw friend.
i'm ashamed to say i lost patience and said many things i have previously avoided - knowing it would be too much for them, especially so much at once.. anyway, i know they went to sunday's meeting, so who's food was at the proper time?
mine or theirs?

The one that did it?
by Gig inwas there a single scripture that finally made perfect sense as you were tempted to leave and allowed you to do so in good conscience?
maybe it was the one that never made sense until you were out?
was there one that seemed to sum it all up after you left?

Another only one
by Gig init was just brought to my attention that herbert armstrong and the worldwide church of god are yet another "only us" religion.
have any of you ever studied him and his teachings and found similarities to the wt and gb?
this could prove helpful to me as my jw friend is familiar with armstrong having attended there as a child.

It's working...she's listening...what NOW?
by Gig injust the other day my jw friend, whom i love very much, called me out of the blue after having broken contact yet again a couple of months ago.
this exhausting cycle i'm determined to break.
she has never been able to reconcile the advice she gets from her elders and the sense i make.

Thank you Saddam
by Gig ini've never heard even the first good thing about the leader of iraq but i've got to thank him.
his highly publicised idiocy helped me to talk to my jw friend.
i got the idea after i watched him try to turn his whole mess into a religious matter, a holy war, then when he accused the un of spying i figured it was worth a shot.

The bigger the better
by Gig init seems there's alot of speculation about what may be introduced at the upcoming international conventions.
given that the wts depends on speculation, i would expect jw's are even more excited than normal...if i can use that word.
anyway, my thought is...let fly!
