Out 25 years and my family still invites me, as if that will jump start my faith or perhaps save my soul (pun intended). And the name, the Memorial just absolutely turns me off. Yeah, I'll celebrate Christ's sacrifice, I think I'll do it on that day in a Catholic or Orthodox church where they actually seem to know what to do with the bread and wine, emblems I never read that Jesus broke the emblam, or drank the emblam. I can't think of a more depressing place to be.

Leading double life
by JustTickledPink ini ran into a young jw i hadn't seen in probably 12 years, anyways, she was the presiding overseer's daughter, perfect little jw... she's now 25 yoa, she is still an active witness and in fact a sympathizer to their crap but dressed in a low cut top, belly showing, carrying a beer, trolling for guys out a hot spot on a friday night with a "worldly" friend.. she talked to me for 5 mins and told me she had been df'd for a year but how horrible it was, she is reinstated and doing good..... but everything about her looks said she wasn't a good little jw.. i think more and more hypocrites are being raised in the organization.
i wouldn't be able to stand leading a double life, i would much rather be honest and not hiding who and what i am... but there are more young jws, including ones i would never suspect, that are jws by day, and regular people at night.
i think they are falling into the "sunday morning christians" mentality and carrying tons of guilt around with them.. i just wish they would wake up.

You know tickled, I don't know if i would call what i and some of my contemporaries did as leading a double life. i mean i never put on any airs at the KH, every pretty much could tell i wasn't with the program, i went because i had no choice in the matter and being a good kid i didn't raise hell and rebel in real loud and obvious ways, but neither did i stick my hand up at the meeting and tell everybody the things i did that weren't according to WBTS teaching. i would call it suffering in silence until i was old enough to do as i pleased.

What was actually printed about 1925?
by confusedjw ini've seen folks reference 1925 concerning "end of the world" claims from the wt similar to 1975.. i've read quotes from the wt about "the 1925 date is even more fixed in the bible than 1914".
but what did they really say was going to happen?
something about moses was said i think.. can anyone with references post them?

It just boggles my mind how anyone can read that stuff and still think that the borg has the "truth". Now if they were to say, well we have what we think are some good beliefs and we aren't so sure about some things blah, blah, blah I could almost stomach it. But to still claim divine direction, and to (and this as has been pointed out countless times but I just need to vent) say if you don't believe every utterance of the borg you will be disfellowshipped is just insane. To me that is the greatest difference between the borg and other religions, the other groups allow a fair amount of latitude among their ranks which I can deal with.
I need to break something.

Dragon,
Yeah, she had some interesting stories to tell about Mr. Manson. It would seem there were some indications of his future when he was still a tender lad.
