  recently someone asked for a pamphlet to leave with a neighbour that started studying with jws.

  i noticed that they was not a lot available, so have put together something.

  please let me know your opinion and any errors.

  I would link to articles, not websites, if you are talking about actual Watchtower articles. You stand the best chance of the dubs reading them.

  happy new year one and all!,.

  the local elders sent a letter home with my hubby, pretty much stating that after "many" attempts to visit and speak with me, this letter is once again asking to meet because it came to their attention that i voted in the last pres.

  election.

  Have "true" Christians always been neutral as far as voting is concerned.

  A letter to my parents stating I dont believe in the Org anymore.

  by cyberjesus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just sent this letter to my dad 3 days ago.

  i roughly translated it from spanish, so it has many weird sounding sentences but i just wanted to shared it with the board.

  practically i just say good-bye to my family.

  Who Was Your Favorite Speaker?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no brag, just fact---i was the most requested speaker in my hall(s), i was often requested to give talks in kh's all over the place, not just in my area.. i personally enjoyed speakers who taught you something, not merely recited something.

  we had a district overseer, paul illingsworth, i loved his style.

  he delved into bible words of the original greek and hebrew.

  i think i've figured it out.

  being raised a jehovah's witness, it's like my life has been "on hold" for 50 years.

  pathetic.. while we've been hoping.....the rest of the world has been living..

  I am living better now...just in a sort of parallel universe. Some people call it a "double life." Some family are in so deep, I don't want to break hearts. (Waiting for thrashing from Wing and Moshe)

  CO admits from platform that "we were embarassed by 1975."

  by watson in

  said with a smirk/smile/grin.

  this one is the most glib i've seen.. actually, several times "75" came up.

  maybe they feel the more they bring it up and make light of it, the more of a non-issue it will become..

  We were ALWAYS looking for "confirmation" from traveling overseers, Assemblies, Conventions, new publications, new hall dedications, special Bethel speakers, rumors, friends of "friends"......and we got it! Constantly. It WAS the push. If you didn't believe it, leadership would at the very least look down their noses at you, you were looked at as if you were weak, etc., blah, blah, blah.
