  It's been so long for me it's hard to remember. Looking back I'd have to say the Revelation and Ezekiel books studied in the 1970's were pretty crazy.

  This one came out long after I was out but just the title of it would rank it high on the crazy list: "Revelation. It's Grand Climax Is At Hand" I think it's also known as the God gets of book.

  I never saw any of his movies. They didn't look that interesting to me of course back then I thought the Watchtower had all the answers and Jehovah would correct any social injustices. Great memory Terry. I enjoyed learning something about him.

  July 4 th Independence Day... Do You Know Any Witnesses That Celebrated?

  by minimus in

  i knew of a ministerial servant that was called out because he used fire crackers on the 4 th of july.

  we had to have an emergency meeting as to his qualifications.

  i remember imploring the body to not make a big issue over this and it was decided to just “counsel” him about being involved in a patriotic holiday.🤨.

  I never knew any Minimus but I thought this was hilarious: "We had to have an emergency meeting as to his qualifications"

  Amazing what they focus on.

  Repercussions over Whiskygate?

  anyone any idea if there have been any repercussions over whiskygate and if anthony morris was ushered into the backroom after a meeting?

  i am pretty sure if this had been a member of the r&f and the video was all over the internet, something would have been said about being careful not to bring jah's organization into disrepute.

  i am sure the local elders in the congregation he is assigned to wouldn't have the balls to do it and there would have to be a mole pretty high up to find out if the gb got involved.. we can but speculate i guess..

  I don't see where this would be a big deal to witnesses. Drinking, even heavy drinking has been a part of Watchtower history going back at least to Rutherford. It was totally acceptable when I was a Jdub. We had a person in our congregation who was a respected member of the "anointed". He liked brandy so every so often I'd buy him a bottle. When I went to dinner with witnesses we'd order drinks. Sometime I'd meet other Jdubs in restaurant lounges for drinks. If anything being seen buying alcohol might increase his status. At least with type of witnesses I hung around with.

  Were You A Gullible JW?

  by minimus in

  i think every congregation has their group that sees everything as a sign that they are god’s chosen people.

  if a witness didn’t go to a meeting and a storm came and destroyed their house and killed them, and only the kingdom hall was saved, that was a sign that we should be in jehovah’s house.

  if russia persecuted jws , it’s proof we are living in the last days.

  Minimus: I would think anyone who joins the JWs of their own free will as I did has be somewhat gullible. I think it boils down to not learning any critical thinking skills.

  jp: I'm not sure if the ones that stay in but don't believe it are gullible maybe they just don't want to deal with the consequences of leaving or lack the courage take a stand.

  I didn't know the audible version was out yet. I think I'll download it and give my eyes a break from the Kindle version I'm reading on my iPad.
