by The in

i was reading some of the first " topics " on this db and i noticed that a few former elders and publishers .

were stumbled by this date.... i was born after 1975 and i'd really appreciate any comments from brothers and sisters who were around .

what i've noticed from personal experience is that many brothers and sisters feel that only " a few " were stumbeled .

I can't understand why they would bring this much money?

by Gary1914 in

i just noticed that the bound volumes of the watchtower and awake magazines for the year 2004 are now up to $80.00 and $70.00, respectively.

the beginning bid was $8.00.

why would these bound volumes be going for so much?

I think the WT's got a picture of "da Judge" with his "buddy" Jack Daniels, and the Awake shows an interior pic of the UN Kingdom Hall.

Calling all activists

hi, boys and girls!

and all you wicked, naughty apostates out there!

have been lurking for several weeks and posted once on freewilly's excellent thread about witnessing for newbies.

I don't know if public demonstrating is the way to go. It hasn't seemed to generate a mass exodus of JW's from the Borg as far as I can tell. Considering the mindset of the R&F JW, I would think that a more non-confrontational approach would work better. After all, weren't we taught to walk by the picketing apostates outside our assemblies with up-turned noses and blocked ears? I think informational discussions/seminars at bookstores, colleges, etc. on a local level which are advertised in the media, as well as a hot-line set up specifically to allow for anonymous inquiries, would at least provide an approach more amenable to the inquisitive JW. In addition, links to various informational websites can be posted on handouts/mailouts (excluding the WBTS website, naturally). Just my 2 cents.

Another Martyr on the Watchtower alter........

by Gill in

every so often, i think, perhaps i'm starting to let go of any interest in the wtbts and what it's poor deluded followers continue to do, or to suffer because of their misguided interpretation of the bible and, well....life in general.

however, my mum called me the other evening to tell me about a former jw 'friend'.

she is 48 and has just been diagnosed with a blood cancer.

But with die hard JWs it is impossible to reason. What do you think of tactics?

Send 'em to alternative therapy. The body's ph has to be almost 8 to work against the cancer. http://w3.bluegrass.net/%7Ejclark/alkaline_foods.htm

The cancer has changed my wife

by outoftheorg in

we found out that she has pancreatic cancer that has spread to the liver and blood vessels.

she opted for chemo.

although we have good insurance, we still have to pay quite a bit towards the $17000.00 bill every three weeks for treatment.
