reuters news agency states that tony blair has, at last, obtained a marginal majority in the percentage of brits who are behind the war on iraq.
56% of uk citizens now support the war and the numbers are increasing steadily despite the number of british casualties.. at present, the brits in iraq total forty thousand, almost a third of the entire uk army.. it's a strange thing, but i saw this moment coming 18 months ago.
it wasn't on 9 / 11 when the nytc was bombed, but on the following day.
I think he is certainly a man of his word
And I think he is a politician.
i have no argument left in me, and no desire to fight really.
when i was inactive i used to look at ex-jws with placard boards outside assemblies or conventions, i knew these people existed even if they were a bit "wacky".
i always used to wonder why these people did this, and to be honest i didn't like them, they looked creepy stood there with their flip charts outside a stadium.
Scooby,
Surely the only TRUTH you should be faithful to is that to yourself! The WTS has promulgated more lies than Pinocchio - and its nose is STILL growing!
As Outlaw said, we all know JWs and many of us still have family within the ranks. We DON'T wish THEM any harm. At the end of the day, however, you are going to have to decide whether to stay with the WTS and live a lie (a fact that is incontrovertible - start with 607BCE, or 1874, or 1925 to 1975 to "the generation", etc).
Many, many people here have suffered terribly at the hands of the WTS. Many were loyal pioneers, elders, ministerial servants, sisters and regular publishers. I believe you KNOW the truth about the WTS. So what are you dillydallying for?!
Show some guts and come and join some REAL friends. You will be made incredibly welcome. Seriously!

everyone probably has a slightly different experience when leaving the witnesses.the worst aspect about this for me is the realisation that my enteire life has been lived and directed by a false premiss, and the effect past decisions now have on my life.. it can make me feel sick in the stomach on occation.. also the idea that friends and family think i have tuned bad or evil to have left jehovah is qute disturbing at times.
See! Outlaw's even got me typing BIG now!

Hey Rebel:
The guilt is unbearable and I don't think it will ever leave me.
You’ve got absolutely nothing to feel guilty about. It’s the Borg that are guilty – BIG TIME.
I know how you feel, though. I had stomach cramps every day for the first week. Then, about two weeks after that, when I thought I was over it, they came back for a day or so. Now, I feel great, happy and free.
The point is, I was angry at myself for even feeling that way. Read my lips: WE DON’T OWE THE WATCHTOWER
ANYTHING!
Take each day as it comes (I know, an old cliché but true) and live your life like you want to be a friend to the world. Enjoy nature, meet with like-minded friends, chat away till midnight. You’ll soon be really free so make the most of it.
And as for those you "brought into the Borg", nonsense! Each of us would have been shown the WT teachings at our study, but it was our OWN decision to accept it. Similarly, it is up to each individual to check and double check the facts now. You've done that. Congratulations on having the guts and admitting that you were previously wrong. That says a heck of a lot about your character - and you may be pleasantly surprised. Those that came into the Borg with your "help" are bound to want to know why you left - which may lead them to look at the real truth!
Hang in there, Rebel. You're doing fine.

your just like a woman outlaw, always wanting it bigger.
ill try.
this is the form the elders fill out for a brother to be a circuit overseer.
HEY OUTLAW,
THAT PRINT IS SMALL, YOU’RE RIGHT, BUT YOUR POSTS ALWAYS MAKE UP FOR IT!
ok, whomever you are.

i have my ideas who it is simply because i dont know very many people who are competent on the computer enough to find this site and are jw themselves.. .
Hey JT,
Didn't know you were in to mooning:
