dear newbies and others somehow unaquainted with our resident grandma,.
"...the watchtower is determined to doggedly hang on to the lie that the time of the end commenced in 1914. there is no other explanation for the watchtower's persistent and seeming incurable interpretive schizophrenia.

Love you Grace!
Thanks for being there for my daughter while I was still in the dark shadow of the Tower!

it does no good.
i don't understant it - who do they think they're foolin'?.
i have just been listening to the judicual committee that disfellowshipped rick and laverne townsend and it is cringeworthy, to say the least, to listen to them cover-up, distort and outright lie about the sources of their information and the real background to their dissent.
So why then the perennial insistence by so many apostates (such as is clearly the case with the Townsends) that all the problems in Watchtower history and chronology and history you spotted yourself, and never borrowed any of it from apostates or opposers? Why not just admit you read Jonsson and that that is where you convinced that the Witness chronology is wrong for this or that reason? Why not admit it was apostate literature that alerted you to the Kingdom Ministry that commened people for selling their homes before 1975. and so on? I have seen it so often from apostates that they really want to hide the fact that they got their new ideas from apostate literature. They are desperate to pretend that every point against the Watchtower they thought up themselves, every damning quote from 1906 - no matter how incredible that they actually sourced it themselves - they are adamant they found it through their own "research"? Why is this? Why not come clean and admit that you read some apostate literature and that is where you got the quotes and were alterted to the discrepancies? Where is the shame in that? I think it would be in the interest of all concerned.
Why are you making such a big noise about the avenue of research used?
Can you say "Smoke Screen"?

just watched it about an hour ago.
i know that it's old news that he got involved with the organization while his career was basically in a free fall, but now that he is enjoying some success again, i am very surprised that he is still claiming to even be a jw.
Seems like a Double Standard to me.
If memory serves me correctly one of the reasons publishers are not to celebrate birthdays is because it brings honor to the person.
How are music and video awards not honoring the person?
what if you were df'ed for apostasy - yet you continued to show up at meetings with a big smile, slapping folks on the back and shaking hands with them, raising your hand to comment on every paragraph, even being visibly annoyed when you are not called on?
file a restraining order?
lock the door?
I resigned as an elder in 94 so this may not be up to date information but at that time the instructions from the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society was, ask them to leave if they don’t call the police.

i'm worried because i sent a christmas card plus had a gift sent by ups over the internet about 7 days ago and haven't heard anything.
i would feel really feel bad if my person didin't receive their gift or card.
so i think we need to have an official post place.
I got mine but the username was not on there so I don't know whom to thank.
I just sent mine yesterday but I sent it priority mail and it is staying in the US so it should make it on time.
Cal
ok, i got him an mp3 player.
a) open it and upload his favorite play lists?.
he's not computer savvy.
I agree with those who say let him open it and load it, which is definitely part of the fun. But be ready to help him if he asks.

someone told me that the wtbts has software for witnesses that blocks out "apostate" sites and enables them to track sites their children visit.
this somehow does not ring true to me and i have dismissed it as rumor.
i know there is software out there like that but is the watchtower publishing a version of their own and making it available to the publishers as this person said?.
The other whack cult uses that software - Church of Scientology.
Interesting, another Possible source of the rumor.

Thank you Dave.
I was 99% sure it was rumor but one never knows.
