  I just got access to a HUGE WT library...what do I want to get?

  my brother and his wife (still very much in) just inherited a library of wt publications dating back to the 20's.

  the best part is, it's complete with both the original watchtowers and bound volumes, in many cases there are 2 of each of the bound volumes, which i can have one of.

  i plan on doing a lot of research on here to figure out what all i need...still a "newbie" you know.

  There are so many... just look at the qoutes website!

  I would suggest you get what you can. All of it. Then take your time to sift through it all. And make a couple of buck off of us. I know there are a couple of mags I'd like to have.

  Hello Franki,

  Wow, tough spot to be in, I know. It sounds like you have a pretty good support group there with your boyfriend and two siblings. I personally like the up front and honest approach. My father and step-mother have not spoke to me in almost 10 years (not that I care, long story). My twenty year old daughter has not spoken to me in almost a year (though she does allow us to write each other).

  I suppose, I just like everyone to know where I stand. The effort of hiding and lying causes too much stress, and sooner or later, the truth will come out.

  I hope you can make a choice which will bring you the most peace.

  Elders stepping out of bounds

  by homme perdu in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was very young the elders told my mother that my unbaptized teen sister could not go to the public park on days that brothers would socialize at due to her lack of morals.

  three years ago my brother moved in with my grandmother.

  he is baptised but faded from the organization 10+ years ago.

  In the 70's, my father was an elder. Some of us used to go to a German Beer Garden after thursday night meeting to eat and dance. One night when we arrived, there were two elders standing at the door of the restaurant like Cherubs! They told my father and everyone else that we could not enter. I was very young, probably 6 or 7, but we left and went home. I have no idea if dad complained about the vigilant elders.

  last week my ex husband sent a letter to the elders telling each and every one of them just what he felt about them.

  as they were d/f him he figured this was his last chance.

  in his letter he stated that as i had scriptural reason for divoce, so did he.
