  Comparisons between todays Witnesses and those 40 years ago

  by truthseeker in

  loyalty, devotion, hardcore, willing to lose jobs to attend friday of the district convention.

  these were the witnesses who came into the truth or were born into it some 30-60 years ago.

  they could reason from the scriptures and hold their own at the doors.. today, i see a large mass of witnesses who have been in some 10-15 years who really don't know much about their own faith, could not explain 1914, are unwilling to lose jobs and sleep over attending meetings and assemblies and live double lives.

  Back in 1958 Yankeestadium, My dad set up the basement so the family lived down there. We had 3 families stay up stairs during the big 1958 Assembly.

  My dad had a basement bathroom installed just for this occasion.

  We all used one kichen in the morning and then went to the convention. I was seven my other 2 bothers were 5 and 2 years old. When we were driving home from the conventions during those days we would have the lastest book like that orange paridse book in the back window

  On the way home every one driving buy would wave and hook at us.

  Totaly diferant today.

  One time I was about 10 years old I wanted to impress my mother on how smart I was.

  I copied the words in one of the songs in the old green book. I wrote them down I read them

  to my mother as a poem. She thought I was a wonderful poet! However my father did not fall for it.

  I remember the circuit ass. the stale air it smelt like a locker room. I always walked around the building with my daughter when she was little.

  I remember writing a "secret note" and buried it by the trees and putting a wooden marker on top. My daughter always remembered wear it was. She is 29 years old now and I bet you she still knows were it is. Oh the old memories.

  How do you feel when you see groups of Jehovah's Witnesses in the ministry?

  by nicolaou in

  1. jw

  regret, anger, frustration?

  how about sadness, sorrow, sympathy, understanding, even compassion!.

  it can be quite confusing at times, especially if some of those witnesses were your friends.

  I think it is a good idea to tell everyone the truth about the Truth (tm). I do on occasions.

  I feel sorry for them. Yet 15 years ago I was with them doing the same thing. I never liked it from my youth at 10 years old to the day I walked out. I remember a brother said "the more you go out in service the easier it gets". BS Now I see them in the streets and I look at them I don,t even recognize one of them and I'm I am a stranger to them that's the way I want it. I waited a log time for this to happen and it feels good. Now just a distant memory.

  California appeals gun decision..

  by sammielee24 in

  the gun issue is constantly in motion..sammieswife.. california gun decision muddies 2nd amendment waters6:00 amapril 24, 2009, by bob barr.

  its been less than a year since the u.s. supreme court issued its landmark heller decision affirming the principle that the 2nd amendment does indeed protect an individual right to keep and bear arms, and that the right it thus protects is a fundamental right.

  the high court last june clearly established: (1) that we the people possess an individual right to own firearms; (2) that this fundamental right pre-dated the constitution (in other words, the 2nd amendment does not grant us the right, it merely protects it); and (3) that a state government (or, in the facts of the case itself, the district of columbia) cannot so restrict the right that it in essence nullifies it.. now, in an april 20th decision, the 9th circuit court of appeals (in a case out of alameda county, california) has already muddied the 2nd amendment picture clarified by the heller decision.

  Under my bed is were I keep pictures of the old times. Like 1950 -1980. Most of these are from my desist parents. 3/4 of the pictures are from assemblies and people that are JWs that I either don't know or I'd like to forget. It is really sad how there life was so watchtower like. So yes I do have demons under my bed. I have a hard time sorting out and tossing out 3/4 of them.

  " and.... a very nice person that at the last minute realizes there is no god and says: "i am an atheist now".... which one will go to paradise earth(tm)?.
