Perhaps you could make use of the WT CD-ROM. Short of that, try eBay and second hand book stores.

i really wish i would have transported the library of information i had, when i moved here.
but alas i didnt, even if i did, i'm sure i still would not be able to back as far as i'd like.
i wanted to know where i might be able to find literature ranging from the mid 1900's up to present day?

in the final installment of my story, i am done with my local congregation now.
in the past month, i have been df'd, un-df'd attended a meeting where i shook everyones hand and smiled ... and now i have sent everyone in the hall this letter, roughly 60 addresses:.
open letter to the north congregation of jehovahs witnesses.
After that one call, I haven't recieved any more, and the Theogarbage Ministry school and Service meeting is tonight, so I'm sure my letter will be the topic of discussion between at least one or two elders. Perhaps there will be some sort of special announcement about the letter, but then perhaps not. I don't expect to recieve any more calls on the matter though, quite unfortunate, but what can you do?
Carol, thank you so much for your kind words. ((((hugs))))

did you leave your sense of humors behind as well?
Yes. Because I found out my whole life up to that point was a joke.

this is an update for any who have kept up with some of my former posts and have taken time out of their lives to give me advice on dealing with situations like having a wife who still believes and a child starting kindergarden.
these situations can quickly turn into a life crisis when a person doesnt know the proper way to deal with these things or know where to turn for help.
i am indebted to the internet and also websites like this for helping me to break free.
That's great Panicattack! Enjoy your freedom! I'm so happy your family it together, out of the org.
Our little guy started his first year of school this year too! He's absolutely loving it! It's tough watching them go that first day, but he gives me a big heartfelt hug as soon as school is done, and that makes up for the day he's away.

haha i hope this doesn't come across as mean or jerky or libelous... but i can totally see defd becoming apostate... he posts here a lot which means he reads even more.
to me it's just a matter of "seeing it when you're ready to"... kind of like those 3d art things that were popular in the mid-90's... it's invisible until you make deep focus and at the same time blur your eyes to what you would normally see.

Oooo I am so tempeted to call up a friend of mine who can track and find out where Derrick is and who his employer is. I think Derrick's employer is unaware how Derrick uses company property and money to waste time posting on a message board.
I don't often comment on these things, but I find that statement to be threatening and invasive of Defd's privacy. I would request that it be removed.

goldman is struck by the surge of religious intensity throughout the world.
he mentioned the rise of fundamental islam in the middle east, political power of the religious right in america and the dedication to faith of israeli settlers.
"this is something that is happening on a global basis," goldman said.
It's the rise of the King of the North! Or is it the South ... hmm, gotta go check my WT CD on that one!

i'm not looking fwd to going to the grocery store this evening.
i imagine that by now, most of what we should have on hand will be empty shelves in the stores.
we're gonna try and get some shtuff in here and begin cooking tomorrow.
...it's just the possibility of power outages for indefinite time period that's looming ominously
Nothing worse then losing your power, especially when there's a list as long as the powerline from the pole to your house of people waiting to get their's back on.
2 years ago we were hit by Hurricane Jaun, it was a low Category 2/high category 1 when it hit, but did the damage of a 3 or 4 because it was the first one to hit here in over 50 years. The amount of tree growth around the power lines an poles blacked out the city for days. It was almost two weeks before our power was back on again. One of our neighbours house burnt down a week after because of a candle.
We lost about $500 worth of food in our fridge and freezer, but thankfully we had no damage to our home, car or ourselves.
I was actually working during the hurricane, I drive a bus for the city transit department, and driving down a hill where I had a complete view of the city, it was amazing seeing explosions of blue and purple and green all over. It was quite the light show! It unfortunately was power transformers exploding, after each explosion, a neighbourhood would go dark.
Keep safe, really.
