Kwin,
I sincerely hope you can be at peace now and let this matter rest.

i was just wondering if you had any doctors, lawyers, pyschologists, psychiatrists, engineers or any highly educated ones in your congregation?
.
This congregation I attend (seldom) has a couple of nurses, a doctor, a couple of CPAs. However, many janitors and CNAs, a couple of car mechanics, painters, and plumbers.

scripture?
i know it may be hard to narrow down just one.
how about what is or was one of your favorite scriptures?
Philippians 4:6,7, which reads...
" 6 Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let YOUR petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard YOUR hearts and YOUR mental powers by means of Christ Jesus."

I remember 1975 vividly. I bought into it line, hook and sinker, as many others did. NOTHING HAPPENED!
I remember the early to mid-80s vividly. Once again, my family and I bought into it wholeheartedly. NOTHING HAPPENED!
I remember the mid to late 90s vividly. Yet once more, all of us JWs bought into the hype big time. NOTHING HAPPENED!
Lately, the WBTS is making believe once more all its members that this New System is coming yesterday. I mean, they're all in such a frenzy these days! NOTHING WILL HAPPEN ONCE AGAIN!
I've given up the dream. Soon I shall make it official.
