i was asked what i thought when i saw all the bad things going on in the world and about how close we are to the end.
i replied "jeff, i simply do not believe that it's going to happen in my life time.
" he was momentarily stunned and said "well, when have things ever been this bad before?
Just called in to see when the memorial is to be held. Good job Mary. We had a visit today, but sadly we were not home ;-( but out youngets son was, they didn't leave him an invitation. I now send them back in an unstamped envelope so that they have to pay the postage!!
Take care all
just supplying a link to a newspaper article that was sent to me by a friend.
this guy [not the friend] conned them all.
worse still he was obviously believed by the spirit appointed and spirit directed, until it was too late.

Why cant the JW's see the need to hand this stuff over to the police first, then handle it when they are finished?

Me out, peace to all.
i remember with some jw family's during prayer every one would hold hands around the table.
i think it is like a cult or some pagan practice.
now that i am out of the box looking in, i find this practice weird.
In the mid seventies we were in a small country cong and it was almost mandatory that people in the same row hold hands...you were almost viewed as an apostate if you didn't... my brother used to hate having to hold my hand or my fathers!!!
Lame... like it made you more holy than others.
i am looking for volumes of the watchtower from 1950 1959 in pdf.
please somebody can help me?
Are there any sites up these days that have a place to dl the wt library? A pm will do as a reply?
Thanks
i haven't been paying much attention lately to anything much jw.
a recent look here on this site, and i have noticed that there have been heaps of changes in dubland.
i am wondering what i have missed?
Thanks for the updates so far... how can any plain dub keep up with all this?
Swallow...swallow harder... put aside all of your previously inculcated, mind control, we are changing our systems...

We haven't sat in a k-hall for nearly 3.5 years.
Let me start: Only ONE Awake! magazine a month.
One Wt for the public, one for the R&F.
Anyone else care to add some more?
Many thanks
to hell with the god-given book study arrangement, screw the spiritual table of food, and end the "brotherly fellowship".
the wts lawyers dictated, "end the home book studies, minimize our liability.
" and so the arrangement ended with an imprimatur by the wts lawyers, a boe letter, and a km article.
Thanks for the continued input. I haven't been paying much attention for a while... new CO arrangement? Whats that all about?
Also, I think that experience with this lot tells us that they never change any arrangement unless they have some other agenda. They aren't concerned about saving the Br and Sis money. If that were the case they would have dropped witnessing in rural territories years ago.
I think that there would have to be a hidden agenda. Maybe it is to do with the molestation cases, but it will be something that reduces the liability of the gb at some point for something. There is always a reason and it is usually to save them money, not the r&f. IMO

Wow!!!
The things you find out when you visit. Is there anymore to the official reasons why this is happening? I noted the comments from sir82, is there any letters that can be "quoted" from?
What is to happen with the "free" night that they all will have?
hi all, yes it's been a while since i have posted.
mostly traveling ok, with normal stresses and strains.
so have a question about funerals.
Hi again to all and thank you for taking the time to post replies. I get the feeling that what i said rang true in most places. Ozzie, i wonder if you had any copies of the correspondence you refer to? Or know if there is any on the web anywhere? I would love to be able to refer to that! My wife has an aunt who is dying. The whole family except for an uncle are dyed in the wool dubz. We told the uncle about the "funeral" custom of no coffins in the hall. They then mentioned it back to my wifes parents who had to "correct" them on the matter and then they told us that they had to correct them about it too. I have somewhere a copy of the funeral talk outline. It is a preach in disguise. If so and so were he they would tell us that their hope was blah blah paradise blah... and they would show you the scripture here in Revalations..... we all heard it many times. I wondered how the non dubz ever thought it was nice service? Beyond me. Maybe i could sell the a bridge? Thanks again
