i just received my watchtower of december 15th, 2001. .
qfr is "how can a christian wife balance loyalty to god with submission to her unbelieving husband if he shares in religious holiday activities?".
[btw, the german edition does not say "unbelieving" but "who is not a jw].
hey germ !
your comments on the years text is dead in line with my thoughts - they strain out of the gnat and swallow the camel - it's so hard to believe that at one time we couldn't see the irony of their words - how they accuse and yet are the most guilty
i like the JWish reference !

i caught this on a link from a link from a link.
the group known as the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses disavowed corporal punishment as an acceptable way to discipline children, said j.r. brown, a national spokesman for the jehovah's witnesses.. "it has nothing to do with the religion,'' brown said.
how can you stoop to trivialising this poor childs death by bleating on about weight in such a purile and perverted way ?
it has been proven that your choice of favorite cher song is an indication of your iq level.. song related iq.
believe 140+.
if i could turn back time 120 - 140. dark lady 100 - 120. half breed 80 - 100. i got you babe 60 - 80
from what i read ... d'oh ! ... but i dun like any cher stuff so i guess i can't read at all ...
hello all, i think you will find this interesting:.
well the meeting took place and i have to say it had a few surprises.
one of the biggest surprises was that it was truly non-confrontational in every respect.
hey freeman!
welcome to the world of people who actually do care - it's hard not to look back, but there are people there who will never see the real truth - i hope your family join you in living the real life - free of prejudice and scorn for anyone daring to challenge the false prophets that are the watchtower ...
thanks to good friends on this board, the november kingdom ministry 2001 is now online on the watchtower observer.. i'm sorry i used a few days to publish it - but i had a lot to do the last week..... promise to be quicker the next time.....
hey kent !
thanks for taking the trouble to obtain, scan and post this - i truly appreciate reading through it as i don't get access to it anymore - it's good to see what i'm 'missing' every thursday evening
having said that, the thursday meeting was always my least disliked ... if you follow my meaning ...
take care and thanks again for your hard work
well, i've made it through the first year!
one year out and still surviving - despite the fact that they said i would come crawling back with my tail between my legs!!.
i cant believe a year could go by so fast and also that you could achieve so much.
hey iw - and individual too - am still writing my DA letter - waiting for a cool date to use as my anniversary ...
so glad you are happy - wishing you only the very best ...
i am an active jw and was raised as one.
i have been watching the site for a while and thought it could benefit from the opinions of someone who is happily a member of the jw's.
i will not get into any argumets that lead to nothing except name calling, and will not talk with anyone who is just plain mean (plenty of them in here).
yoyodubba - interesting statements and questions ...
((Will millions even billions perish? Yes))
is this the same prophesy as the one in the 1920s about 'millions now living will never die' and they did ?
((How many died in 70 C.E.?))
does this also apply to 'how many died' in 1975 ?
((More that a million Jews. Who's fault was it? Their own))
good thing you're not in the uk as the law is soon to change to make hatred based on religion unlawful - anti-semitism is an inheritance from rutherfords days !
thank you for reminding us why we don't frequent the dark places such as kingdom halls

hey name - lay off with the music - i started that because the stuff i listen to has bad language, references to the occult, 'degrading' sexual acts, self mutilation etc etc etc - and it has to be said that impressionable people could be misled by it
the job of any minister would be to warn their flock about how damaging that could be - c'mon man !
even so, i just like the music - dun wanna go acting out the lyrics in real life ...
hey scum - yes you are correct - alliwannadoislive is from follow the leader - 'children of the korn' ... well done

hey a fear factory fan ! - or was that just your pal ? - i was constantly frowned upon by elders for my choice of music - if i liked celine dion then it wouldnta been a problem, but i go for pitchifter, korn, my ruin, one minute silence etc etc
scum - might i suggest you withold any info that might help identify you - loadsa people surf here and you never know when someone with a grudge might make the connection
good to hear from you - i speak only for myself when i say i have found more fellowship and consideration here than any kingdom hall i ever visited
oh and finally - my name comes from a metal track too - any guesses ?
reading the watchtower 'readers ask' article (which so clearly is not a reader asking) about 'should we pray for disfellowshipped ones' and i had the horrible feeling of 'doublethink' kicking in - twisted reasoning trying to take me over and allow me to accept the incorrect thinking.
isn't this like a conditioned disgusting habit ?.
is this posting like i'm taking it to the elders ?.
um ... i see ... well thank you for enlightening me blondie ... eek !
