  Welcome and thanks for sharing your story Lady Liberty

  The way you describe and explain your exploration of the whole 607 thing really clarifies it so much for me. Until now I have pretty much disregarded it due to its seeming so complicated. There is no way I would have been able to discuss it with a JW. But now I am interested in looking over it again.

  I look forward to reading the rest of your story!

  paragraph 14 "administration" linked to "kingdom government".

  christians, those who hope to live in heaven, partake, whereas the majority,.

  the close-knit body of anointed Christian Witnesses that now serve as the faithful and discreet slave

  I can't help but wonder just how close-knit the anointed are...

  Do any of them, other than their "representative" governing body, know each other by name?

  How does the governing body represent them? Has anyone even asked them?

  How were the members of the governing body chosen to represent them?

  Do they all communicate with each other about what God is revealing to them as the light gets brighter?

  Crazy. If that doesn't make your scam alert sound off, I don't know what will...

  i have just finished crisis of conscience and it moved me to write raymond franz a letter of appreciation.

  does anyone know how to get a letter to him?

  i think i will send it through the publishing company unless there is a better way.. everyone should read this book, it is a real eye opener.

  It really is a good book. I could hardly put it down until I had read it cover to cover. Wish I could get my mom to read it. Maybe some day she'll be ready...maybe not. But I can hope. Do you think any of your loved ones will read it?

  "Happy Birthday" to you too

  Definitely make your first birthday as an adult memorable!

  Mine happened in my early 20s when a couple my then-husband and I were friends with found out I had never had a birthday party before. They made me dinner, a cake, sang happy birthday to me, and gave me presents and cards. It made me cry and my girlfriend hardly knew what to do. Birthdays were so normal for them, they had no idea how overwhelming it was for me.

  Do you have people to party with you? If so, tell them you've never celebrated your birthday before. They may jump at the chance to throw you a party....And, if not, do it up in grand style for yourself and invite who you will...of course, you always have usand we will be throwing you a rockin' cyber-party regardless...

  That IS what the "J" in J.F.Rutherford stands for, isn't it? Jehovah?

  That would have made me want to jump up and shout:

  "How dare you make a mockery of God's infinite love and grace and...oh, uh, sorry, you were talking about your CREATOR, Rutherford, weren't you? Nevermind..."
