A great relief, no doubt. Never been through that myself, but I know the stress and fear that the Elders can inflict. I think a drunken orgy is in order, by means of a celebration

Vigil for my daughter, please.
by outnfree inas mentioned in my other thread, my daughter lena is having brainsurgery on monday, jan 24. the surgery will last 6-7 hours, so i'm hoping the board members will be willing to make a special effort tomorrow to send positive thoughts, healing energy, good wishes and prayers her way.
we are asking that the surgeon's hands be delicate and skillful and that lena does not bleed overmuch and that brain damage be minimal (if not non-existant).
surgery begins at 8 am eastern standard time (us), but we have to have her to the hospital by 6 am, so this is "good night!

High rates of depression in Org.
by chuckyy ini noticed after being a jw for a while that many members of my congregation were having to take antedepressants.
(i counted at least 30 out of 100).

Maybe starting your own thread would be better - a lot of people may miss what you have to say here, and that would be a pity

What was your turning point?
by jeanniebeanz inwhat was it that was the real eye opener for you?.
for me, it was after watching the video, "jehovah's witnesses; a non-prophet organization," and the point on how the org puts itself in a place between jesus and mankind.
a position which does not exist scripturally.

Gill - have only recently found out about the 607BCE thing - and have resurrected (is that copywrited?) an old thread I found...am amazed that it hasn't been questioned along the way - but I suppose JW aren't that educated generally (discouraged), if they were they could think for themselves. Is looking at History books considered apostate? Must be if History disagrees with the 607 thing - sad.

"Dubs For Dummies"
by Farkel indear brothers and sisters in the worldwide brotherhood of jehovahs witnessestm,.
there has been much public interest in our beliefs lately, so we have prepared a very brief summary of our core beliefs in a new pamphlet which you may offer to interested persons.
hopefully, this pamphlet will generate enough interest with honest-hearted people and enable you to start many new bible studies.

New 607 info?
by startingover ini just discovered something i have not seen anywhere before.
i was looking at my old "all scripture inspired" book, and i say old because it was the first edition from 1963 and i had used it for years.
according to the wt cd there were revisions in 1983 and 1990. i came across this little goodie under the book of daniel.

I feel so stupid. I always took the ''Society's'' word that 607BCE was an accurate historical date - historical fact. Only since coming on here have I discovered this isn't true at all - but when did this come to light? Out of all the JWs in the World, there must have been some over the years who have a sound knowledge of History. (Or is this another reason why further education is discouraged).
Have just done my OWN search, and all sources point to the year 586 BC, and more accurately, 9th av 586 BC
