Notes from the Wallkill Printery Dedication - May 16, 2005
by acsot inyou will all no doubt want to upchuk your lunch be pleased to find out how jehovah has blessed the brothers and sisters at the expanded, updated printery at wallkill.
i have several pages of notes from that momentous occasion, but haven't a clue how to get them to post here.
one of the snippets that will make you want to vomit highlights mentioned how, in reference to one job out-sourced to a "worldly" company for the concrete floors, the foreman of said company told the dubs that "what he learned in his few months at watchtower was comparable to five years of college".

Please help me edit for correct facts. I want no misrepresentation here.
by AK - Jeff inthis is a draft of a letter to a dear friend - what do you think?.
dear xxxxx - .
i just spent two weeks writing, editing, and writing again, what i intended as a brief letter to you regarding our conversation two weeks past.

Your letter is great just as is.
The 607 issue and, of course, mis-treatment of victims of sexual abuse were huge factors for me.
I strongly feel that the mis-treatment of sex abuse victims is immoral and I personally could not sit in my chair at the Kingdom Hall appearing to condone it. (We were taught to pay attention to 'appearances' weren't we????)
I hope your friend reads your letter. It's a good one!

Hi and Welcome!
I know you will find so many of us who can truly relate to your past and current feelings.
I was 'in the truth' from age 10 until about my early-to-mid 30's. I feel a part of this community even though I'm not so 'chatty' here.
It's a great place to explore, express, contemplate and observe.
In the org I really found that by spending so much time and energy 'showing' the depth of my spirituality, I was actually killing it - literally - hour by hour. I found that the more I tried to show, the less was really there. (Did I say that right?? I hope that makes sense.)
Seeing how much more attention was placed on demonstrating our love and commitment rather than true feelings and real, honest, sincere heart-felt actions made me look more closely at other fascades within the cong. I was dying inside a little more each hour of every day. I thought something was wrong with me and the more I did, the less worthy I felt.
I have been inactive since probably 1990 or so but still behaved and, for the most part, believed as a JW. This site helped me sort out reality from fantasy.
Again, let me say 'welcome'. BTW, this was a real nice intro post from you.
Glad to have you along.

Sorry to hear about this. I would imagine it's a bit of a shock to the system.
I truly hope things go well with the other company and, hey, take a few people with you... You might be doing everyone a favor!!
Best wishes,

I haven't seen Brummie's little face around for several months but would sure like to know that he is OK.
LT made a comment on another thread right before he left to catch a boat to E-man's. That was, of course, before the blasts.
If anyone hears from either of these two, please post here....

jeeeez they gave me a part 4 talk
by tsunami_rid3r inand its over "why moral restraint...not removed when 10 commandments passed away".
so i think this is talking about why the people in the greek scriptures couldnt do their neighbors wife, or you couldnt kill your neighbor even though the 10 commandments wasnt there.
how many bible scriptures should i use?

I also liked the outline you presented. You will do SOO well in college...!!
