  I know the feeling! I am slowly getting over it 20 years later. I sometimes get that feeling still when I put the tie on!

  Why quotes from old publications are meaningful

  by seattleniceguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most witnesses know that if you dig too hard in their older publications, you're bound to find strange, even ridiculous, quotes.

  but they are trained not to put too much thought into these older publications.

  if reasonable people could legitimately disagree with the wts at that time, then what does that say about "god's channel"?

  i received a message from quotes that he asked to pass on to the forum.i'll be posting to the board an update of my situation probably next week, but not before then.

  so far, the news it good.

  however, if you would like to post to let everyone know that despite this "watchtower backed persecution" (lol) i continue "faithfully in my sacred service" of publishing zany watchtower quotes.

  Zany is an excellent word to describe that topic, I am sure Quotes educational training made this a topic close to his heart ;)

  seriously, they masquerade as angels of light, with their dark chocolate minty taste (my personal satan being the thin mint ones) but in reality they are little fiendish wafers of fat and carbohydrates waiting to attack the weak defences of your tastebuds so they can defile the temple of your flesh.

  i think i need an exorcism....or another box of cookies *sigh*

  How did 1975 affect you?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i lived thru the 1975 fiasco.

  many here did too.. on another board there was discussion about the way the congregations were before 1975. some thought that they were like small country churches in some ways.

  we did our own work on repairs at the kingdom hall, like a family.

  I have been to Quebec city two times, once in Feb and once in March. Feb is freaking cold but an awesome party, March can be very mild and more enjoyable for ski'n.

  My daily routine with my buds, two hours sleep, two breakfasts, two pitchers each and off we go down the hill!
