I love reading these stories! God is truly using you to reach your friend. Even if she is not showing it on the outside, she is probably having a lot of nagging questions that she can't deny. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

my jw neighbor wasn't able to come on monday after all, but we rescheduled our meeting for today (wednesday).
on monday, i had a bit of material around, and my next-door neighbor stopped in.
i found out that she was in a bible study with some jws!

for the past two months, i have been fighting one cold after another, but what seems to never leave is the burning in my nose and throat.
six days ago my doctor perscribed cephalexin 500mg (antibiotic), but so far i am still miserable.
while looking online, many websites want to sell their various cures, usually for about $35.00 us.
Have you tried Zicam? It is homeopathic, over-the-counter. It has worked well for me.

as i was cruising the internet one fine day...i happened upon a local radio station website which contained pictures from a local charity event.
low and behold...to my utter amazement...many of the pictures were of people i knew in my past life as a jw...people who still are active jw's and were always considered among the "spiritual" and "good" jw's.
so my fine friends...i took two pictures and would like you to tell me who you would say were the jw's and who were the "worldlings"???
I'm guessing the one on the left, just because they get all "wild" and stuff when they think no one is looking.

looks like the letter writting campaign has paid off !!!!!!!!!!!!
the jw's have dropped costs, and there will be no exchange of money.
(which, yes, means i still will not receive my huge $5000.00 judgement) (thanks judge molloy!?
That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Great review, Blondie. Thanks again. My mother once confided that she would try to "Draw close to Jehovah in prayer," but often she would give up because it was just too hard (too hard to follow all of the WTS rules I guess). Very sad.

back in 1972 the wtb&ts published a new translation of the bible, "the bible in living english", otherwise known as byington's translation.. who was byington?.
the publisher's note tells us that steven t byington was born in 1868 and studied languages at a university and a theological seminary.
he was a member of the congregational church in massachusetts, usa and the translation was almost his lifetime's work.
I have two copies -- available as a controlled stock item through a Kingdom Hall only
Any chance you'd want to sell one?

Does anyone own a copy of that translation, or know where I can get a copy?

by how many people
even more so how many people you meet here and after getting a chance to know them, learn they know some of the very same people you do?
(for example i met a woman here on the board whom i have never met personally but she knows some people that i grew up, even the 'brother' who gave me my first kiss..
I would be so happy if one of my family members turned up on this board. Hope their curiousity gets the better of them someday.

did anyone else see this show last night?
it was on the more obscure bbc4 (available in the uk on satellite or cable).. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/listings/programme.shtml?day=yesterday&filename=20031029/20031029_2200_4544_28579_40.
the programme looked at recent media preoccupation with the end of the world (asteroid collisions, global warming, etc.).
I would LOVE to see that! It would be cool if someone could record it and make it available.

how can i get my hands on a kingdom interlinear?
a jw friend said that they weren't in print any more, so he made a special order to get the book, but he said that he couldn't give it to me, just lend it.
is there any way i can make a special order for that book?
Try looking on ebay. I've seen them for sale on there.
