  FYI, Trump's pick for U. S. Army Secretary is Vincent Viola. What's Viola's connection with the Watchtower?

  @jwleaks: ghosts at 124 Columbia Heights would never happen, what with all the HS oozing out of there, the demunz would not stand a chance

  i found this little jem this morning .

  it's a little dated but describes the self-proclaimed jesus of nazareth by the name of a.j miller.

  he was raised in the jw religion and was also an elder and pioneer.

  JW Spirituality is measured by the quantity and/or quality of "worldly" pursuits that a JW gives up in favor of WT approved activities. Give up an Oxford University education-get a seat on the GB; quit university to pioneer, then get the privilege of giving your experience at the next convention; quit your well-paid corporate gig, receive an invitation to donate your professional services to the Branch. The yearbooks are filled with examples of the truely "spiritual".

  "We also ask that you temporarily do not use any printed literature in your own preaching ministry, use only the Bible"

  Use only the Bible, what a concept!

  the remarkable sister pettifog.

  this morning i arrived on my bicycle at the local starbucks early, before the intensity of the texas sun boiled to full blaze rendering me a soggy, wrung out mess.. i took up my perch on the outdoor patio in the shade, eager to work on my book of short stories.

  this will be my 3rd book and i’ve been enjoying the process daily.. .

  Terry, I'm sorry to hear that Johnny shunned you even though he never shunned his DF/DA'd sons.

  To encourage unflinching faith when facing persecution from secular authorities just like Daniel. Just look at the expression the elder makes as he faithfully stands in front of his service group when the police come through the door.

  it really stands out to me just how phoney the bonds of forced brotherhood are.

  the smiles are paper thin when they see each other in hotels.

  the laughs forced.

  Observing the behavior of the brothers when the doors are opened in the morning during the RCs and the thin veil of brotherhood are quickly shattered.

  Who ever committed this crime (JW or not) will be in serious doodoo if caught by the authorities. Damaging or defacing artifacts deemed by the Mexican government to be part of the "Patrimonio Nacional" (National Heritage) is more severely punished than crimes committed against an individual if I am not mistaken.

  i give it 3 thumbs down.. the video starts with an ambulance in peru.

  the ambulance people look at an id and a no blood card in spanish.. quick flash away to now and a happy family of a couple with 2 young boys.

  all good kids it collages their everyday life, all centered around theocratic activities.

  Ethan: "It just got to be too much..couldn't handle it." (Elder privilege). "There's more to it than that (lightening the load).  There's more to it than that, it's complicated.  This is something you really wouldn't understand."

  Cut to medicine cabinet scene with Ethan hooked on painkillers.

  That about sums up Witness life.
