greetings, folks: so, it's been 40 years since 1975. and, if you were actively involved with the witnesses back then, the mindset of many was, that by early autumn of 1975, it would mark the anniversary of 6000 years of human existence.
and, the hope was then, that it would mark the start of the 1000-year of christ, from the heavenly realm.
but, looking back now, 40 years ago, in june of 1975, only 3 more months remained until early autumn.
We did the countdown starting in 1966. Our CO worked out that we would cover our territory just 9 more times before 1975. There was also the matter of us all bearing blood guilt if we didn't get the word out and our householders became a part of the "slain of Jehovah".
He'd kill them and it was all our fault!
i am looking for some songs that are in ref to celebrating leaving, seeing the light, realizing what you were told wasnt right, being happy w your life, etc etc.
all those emotions about being controlled and repressed, being told what you can feel or think or how to live, blindly following the "brotherhood ".
I think I may have hummed this tune just after the JC gave me the boot:

Forget armageddon. In 1975, this was what was really scaring the pants off everyone:
the latest controversy over the confederate flag just sums up to me the state of dysfunction that exists in american society.. in summary: a white supremacist nutter shoots 9 black people dead in a church.
he's clearly inspired by the messages of others which the confederate flag is often a symbol of.. it seems like a no-brainer to remove it.
not only isn't it removed, it isn't even lowered at all as a mark of respect.. and of course now there are the people who want to defend their right to have it.
this is a crappy letter from the watchtower.
i'm only posting it to show how micro-managers these fools are.
and at the end, they say: "we should avoid making specific rules about somewhat technical matters".
Pre- session music inspiring the eager audience..
the beatles - love me dough.
dusty springfield - don't sleep in the subway darling.
sausage garden - truly madly deep-pan.

i know you all are aware of how little knowledge people have about jehovah's witnesses and topics men like bob bowen and women like barbara anderson tried to raise the level of public awareness that "the jehovah witness coming to your door might be a pedophile or child molester!
" what's gone wrong, has the society outsmarted the media or do people not really care what happens to young children?
if you took a survey trying to ascertain how many people walking through the grocery store, a target or upper class stores nordstroms, your going to be shocked how little people know.. if it's about the catholic church, those numbers shot through the ceiling, is this because there is no problem in the new world watchtower order or their better at damage control?
My impression is that the general public tend to regard religious males, ageing popstars and members of the House of Lords as possible paedophiles.
JW's are simply a minor sect perceived as just being slightly nutty. There may have been a few oohs and aahs after the airing of Panorama all those years ago, but Jehovah's witnesses generally don't appear on most folk's radar.
So no. Only us ex's are really aware of what goes on.
