I have only seen the 2 minute taster that Stephen Lett showed once. I remember that I was not very impressed.. Mary is told that she , a single girl is to become pregnant and she hardly reacted at all. I would have had some shock horror at the news … that she surely must have felt..

I well remember this book and what a big deal it was at the time. It seemed that we had a God given duty to expose old Babylon for what she was …. Much of it was based on a book by a Rev. J Hislop, “ TheTwo Babylons” . It seems that F Franz took his ideas and ran with them further.
I just checked the online indexes and it seems that the last reference to the Fall of B the G was in 1988. So it seems to be quietly have been allowed to slip under the radar although not actually denied…

I went through it quickly, picking out the convention clips . No offence to Mike and Kim,, I respect the work they do, but I find their style just too much to take. I would rather see what they have from the convention and make up my own mind.
I found nothing remarkable in the programme. Why do they pick the most boring speakers for this stream? The only exception was the baptism talk .. that guy was animated and different to the rest .

the daftest one i ever met --in the UK --was John Blaney.…..
He was not daft. He was brilliant but also strange, bizarre. He had a gi- normous ego and truly a “one- off” . There was never another like him.
Despite his faults , I woould love to see someone remotely like him today to break up the blandness…
[edit.. sorry about the formatting and crazy quotes.. they came with original quote and I can’t get rid of them ]

“ Mike Seidler (absolutely beautiful human being, a true Christian unlike many other COs of his time, however Dodie his wife was an absolute dragon, most sisters dreaded working woth her on the ministry. The personalities of both didn't match, poor chap. Heard he died recently)”………….
I would not go so far as to say that, I never liked him much , very businesslike and the changes he made ruined our cong. … I would agree with your assessment of his wife , Dodie. The sisters used to call her ‘ The Terminator’ because so many studies were stopped after taking her along.

Current blood card?
by carla ini have a question regarding the current blood card- did the blood card always have a spot where the jw gives the elders the authority to pull the plug (so to speak) and to admit them to a long term facility?
as well as no blood, naturally.
if the elders have no financial responsibility how is this possible?

Thank you Atlantis, I have wanted an up to date copy of the blood card for some time. I should have come to you , all the best. ….

I grew up near a small sea port . There was a local brother who took it on himself to go down and Witness to the crews on the ships. Everyone left it to him as a specialised territory…..This goes back to the ‘60s

Know it’s not true but stay anyway
by Elena inhow many of the millions of jws know it’s not true but stay anyway?.
my guess is most jws know it’s not true on a subconscious level to an extent but they don’t want to think about it too much and would never ever voice it out loud.. but this is probably true with all religions around the world?.

They don’t dare to think to hard ….. that is what got us on here , and they know that.
They just pray for more faith, leave “it all up to Jehovah “ and go with the flow….
That is what some tell me anyway

Did God know adam and eve would sin?

Yes , “today it hardly seems fair”… We can often say that about parts of the Bible . I don’t claim to know the answers but I am willing to accept that since I was not there and we have only sparse information, I am in no position to judge.
