nice to be part of the board at last.
been reading here for around eight months.
very warily at first, but now my mind is out of the org.. i was raised in it and never would have dreamed at looking at internet sites for fear of being misled.
Welcome to the board, Wary.
You said your wife is starting to see the hypocrisy? Then have her do a search on "Organ Transplants" on the Watchtower cd library, and look under W67 and W80 for one of the biggest hypocritical decisions ever announced by the WTS.

it is one of my guilty pleasures.
i love music and i think this year's contestants are quite good.. some have said the show is fixed.
but i love the singing competition.. what about choo?.
My wife and I watch it every week. I call my daughters to remind them it's on, also.
I also feel that towards the end of the competition, the young people vote for who looks the best, and not who is the best singer. I usually don't watch it once it is down to four, although this years finalists are all quite good, so I think it won't matter to me who wins.
Although I hate Adam Lambert's style of music, I feel he has an awesome vocal range, and I did actually like his version of "Ring of Fire". It showed everyone what he can do with his pipes. Anything, and everything.
So even though I don't particularly care for his kind of music, I think he should win.

hey everybody!.

she was only 45. she's the daughter of vanessa redgrave and wife of liam neeson and sister of joley ridhardson..
Gregor, she fell back on her head. I hope they do an autopsy to find out what happened. and why they couldn't save her.
A real tragedy.

Oompa, you could have attached a chain on it, and wore it around your neck.

Then, If I was you, I would DEFINITELY get a metal detector. I'd be there every chance I got. I love that kind of history.
You lucky bas...d.

That's really neat, Oompa!
What were you doing in a tree?
Do you live close to a civill war battlefield?
Hubert ....and what's a gpas?
i just finished reading "captives of a concept" i thought it was a terrific book.
has any one had any success studying the history with a jw?.
Cawshun, That's an excellent book. I read it, too.
Between that one and "Crisis of Conscience", they prove that the Watchtower Society isn't the "Faithful and Discreet slave", and isn't "God's channel of communication".

i was at a local laundry mat this past sunday and i found an awake from 1995 and a watchtower from 1989. i was amazed at how old these magazines were.
back in my day, the magazines i left behind were rarely over a year old, let alone 20. i have noticed this a lot lately and am wondering where all of these old magazines are coming from.
as i stated on a post a while back, i was in a laundry mat some time ago and i heard a man say "why are you looking forward to 1975?
Donny, you should grab those mags ! They are classics!
Especially the one about "Why are you looking forward to 1975. There are people on this forum that would give an arm or leg for that magazine, me included. Will you take my left arm? I am right-handed.
While at the V.A. Hospital two years ago for my eye exam, I found two Awakes from pre-1995, the ones with the "God's promise that this generation will never pass away...." and I still have them. To me, they are worth their weight in Gold !
I hope you go back and find them. You may have an opportunity to use that when talking to j.w. loved ones, like I have. I also wondered why they would still have old mags to place like that, but I'm glad they do.
