Fair dinkum thats what it says. I realise that when I went to meetings it was done by some people but was frowned on but now here it is on page 21 "Our publications need not be quoted verbatim. Jehovahs Witnesses do not simply repeat what their publications say. Will this be new openess in the witness religion. Barry

Stone the crows. The Bible Society of New South Wales has launched a book that uses the language of blokes and sheilas to a fair dinkum story.
The Aussie Bible well bits of it anyway. The story of the good Samaritan becomes the story of the 'good bloke' for example.
Reverend Peter Jensen, the Anglican archbishop of Sydney and the president of the bible society in New South Wales joined Mr Richards and singer Colin Buchanan at the launch in Sydney on August 21
John Anderson, the deputy prime minister of Australia, writes in the foreword of the book about the importance of Australians familiarising themselves again with the teachings of the Bible.
The books a great read, says Pastor Ray Coombe assistant to the president of the South Pacific Division of SDA.

Shocking or funny experiences at the memorial
by Dimples ini remember at one memorial one of the sisters invited someone other than a bible study.
imagine as they passed the wine and the kingdom hall (you know at this time the place is always silent) to have this person stand up, hold her glass of wine up in the air and at the top of her lungs yell out... i drink this wine for jesus christ who died for me!!!
another time with the passing of the bread, i had the aisle seat and handed the brother the plate so he could start another row.

Before I knew much at all about the JW religion I was asked to the memorial by a JW who was a bricklayer who did a lot of work for my dad. I told him I would go to the memorial and also I asked my minister to come too. The bloke that invited me wasnt very impressed with me for asking the minister to come . Ive wrote about it before on here Barry

Why Aren't Jehovah's Witnesses Allowed To Freely Express Themselves?
by minimus init's a simple fact.
jw's cannot freely express themselves.
they can't freely tell another about a doubt or a question that they might have for fear they could be exposed to the elders.

The witnesses do have an opportunity at the WT study to answer and give there opinions its only a matter of time before this will happen and when it does the witness religion will change in and even the GB wont have the control they once had. Barry

Is there one thing that convinces you that the JW's are wrong ???
by run dont walk indoctrines, people, elders, family, beliefs, is there a certain thing that convinces you they are wrong ???.
had a discussion with my mom the other day and she asked "how can you be so sure they are wrong ?".
i picked two topics that i had not talked to her about ( already said the pedophile, un, generation stuff.).

gday dont run walk, im an Adventist and when the JWs call I like to tell them all about the relationship of doctrine with the two churches it has a way making them unsure of themselves they dont get from the ordinary householder. I tell them about Adventists that are Arian just like the witnesses, soul sleep, the events of 1844 and 1874 as you mention it becomes obvious to them that the Adventists and the witnesses are like a sister church. We allways part friends. Barry
