i hated ministry book bags.i hated coming out of my home with the book bags looking like i was going to a seminar.so,i starting going to the ministry school and sunday bible meetings holding only the required books for that day in my hand.. for the sunday meetings,i would just carry the song book,bible and watchtower magazine in my hand.
no book bag!
for the ministry school,i would just carry just what necessary for the evening.
I once gave a talk at the Kingdom Ministry school and I was lectured because I forgot to wear my tie.
As for book bags, I used to carry a huge suitcase like book bag in field service with a wide variety of literature. The Circuit Overseer advised me to carry a smaller one.
i need some advice.
actually my friend needs some advice.
a few years ago i moved about 50 km (30 miles) away from the nearest congo and have since tried to live a normal life.
so, some of you may have seen my thread from yesterday about my wife waking up.. we had further discussion yesterday evening after i sent her the pbs video on the abuse scandals plaguing the watchtower.
she was so furious and pissed off at wt hq.
apparently a close relative of her's was abused by an elder and the only reason he was reproved and removed as an elder was because he confessed.
@ quest81,
"Something is going on, either more JWs or those affected by the religion are becoming TTATT aware and buying it or the WT is buying copies in print to prevent people from accessing the book."
I don't think the Watchtower is going to be purchasing books at $100 or more. It's simply out of print which makes it rare and expensive.

@ Coded Logic: "I guess I just never thought they'd turn into Pentecostals."
Maybe they'll start speaking in tongues.
remember when we pointed out how bad child abuse was among christendom?
over the last few years, i haven't heard anything about the rampant abuse claims in christendom.
it's turning out that we have our own to deal with, a lot to deal with.
"It's turning out our religion is one of the worst offenders when it comes to child abuse"
I like this thread but why are you calling it "our religion"?
the two of them spilled a lot of blood and loved it....impaling people, cutting off heads.. you talk about being blood thirsty for your god..
