Pardon my ignorance - I tried downloading the file from Send Space, then it asks for my email address. Do I have to give it? There doesn't seem to be any other option.

Latest SAD--More Higher Ed Bashing. Did you know it's one of Satan's False Refuges?

by Cadellin in

well, folks, this little mermaid just got back from the sad she had to attend w/her husband so as to keep a measure of peace (we're in the process of working out compromises...you know how it goes) i was pretty mad by the end of the day (thank god it ended at 4:00) mostly because i learned some new things that i would never have guessed in a million years.. did you know that satan is setting up artificial "refuges" as a counterfeit to jehovah's "true refuge"which is...his organization???

now satan's "false refuges" are pretty damn bad, like, for instance, "independent thinking.

" no, siree bob, we don't want none of that!!

More KS-10 'Shepherding' instruction LTR

by yknot in

while i at this moment don't have my hands on a scan and very dear 'anonymouse brother' wishes for the forum to know as a 'heads up'!.

here is the 'gist' of the ltr until we get an actual scan ..... apparently some elders want to have their books spiral bound.

the branch has sent out specific instructions that it can be done only by an elder for other elders.

Bonnie_Clyde

A baptized brother can perform the binding work if an elder is watching him. However "outside companies, unbelivers, and sisters are not permitted to perform this work".

Interesting that they would allow a non-elder (baptized) brother do the binding as long as there is an elder watching but not even a baptized sister would be allowed to do it.

was there a 1975 "scare"

by Lotus65 in

ive heard through different research ive done along with people ive talked too that there was a 1975 "scare" in which the time was supposed and the end was at hand

is that true

Bonnie_Clyde

No wonder the Witnesses deny it happened. Many today just do not want to remember. Talk about having a selective memory

Another term could be "Collective Amnesia."

Selling homes and property - pre-1975

i just had a discussion with a relative who attended the district convention.

he gave me the booklet, "keep on the watch.

" according to him, the speaker who introduced the booklet talked about the people who were stumbled because of the change in understanding regarding "this generation.

In hindsight do you regret having this conversation with your son in law?

Yes and no. Up until that day, I had kept my mouth shut, but I think eventually something would have come out, and the results would have been the same. A good thing that came from it was that the son mentioned above and his wife both left the borg (our other son was already on his way out). Clyde and I both have a even stronger relationship with them. We all live nearby and we see each other almost every day, looking after each other's needs. We know that our grandchildren will never have to endure the torture of growing up in the "truth."

But there isn't a day that goes by that I think about our daughter. I don't have any idea how she is doing. And I have a touch of guilt knowing that I raised her in the religion. I guess that's why I keep coming on this site, knowing that others have had similar experiences.

I didn't reveal it at the time, but the relative I had this conversation with was actually my son-in-law and my daughter. The result of our 10-minute conversation was that I completely lost the good relationship I previously had with them along many other relatives including my father. I have not seen or talked to my daughter since my father's funeral in 2007 even though we only live 10 miles from one another. Even though I occasionally send an email or a card, I get complete silence.

In a conversation with her brother (my son), she brought up what I said about 1975, and my son reminded her that he remembered when he was 7 years old (1974), she told him she wanted to get baptized before 1975 as she knew Armageddon was coming (she was age 9). She denied ever saying that.
