the recent thread about the 5yr old baptized got me to thinking....... i learned to read at an early age.

i was also in all the gifted classes in school.

i remember a great deal of the witness kids were in gifted classes.

one of my witness family members agreed to take a look at crisis of conscience, and after.

perusing the first couple of chapters, said that she thought it could be all made up.

agreed that the documents presented could be legitimate, but as far as franz's personal.

Kaytee & Twink's "Resignation" letter
by twinkletoes in
1. jw
2. friends
this was the second letter given to elders that turned out to be a "resignation" letter.

this was, as you will see, because they chose not to answer any of our questions.

the reason we are posting our letter, is because it is now obvious (by personal experiences) that ones who we thought were our friends are now choosing to shun us.

Psychology of prayer
by Introspection in
1. watchtower
2. medical
it seems there has been much talk on prayer lately, and i thought it would be helpful for us to discuss the psychological nuts and bolts, without getting into the realm of religious belief.

regardless of whether the source of change is human or divine mind, i think we can agree that the mind is a powerful thing, capable of affecting real change.. my guess is most of us don't pray for money or material things, but those of us who do basically ask for two things: direction and strength, or you might say knowledge and power.

i recall that as jws, we were taught to be specific in our prayers.

Pink Songbooks - Green Bibles
by nicolaou in
1. jw
2. friends
those of us who've been around long enough will understand the title.

what we are looking for here are examples of the society's lack of taste.. for example, i'm sure our kingdom hall wasn't the only one in the 70's with dark brown carpeting that rose halfway up the walls and a nice trendy rubber plant in the corner of the platform!.

R U disfellowshipped 2

hi people.

i am a df'd person hoping to return to the fold.

i am not critical of the decision to df me nor of the loving organization i believe to be in the palm of jesus hand.. i would find it most encouraging to hear from others who feel the same and would like to "hold hands" on the way back.. this board is hailed as a supportive respectful place so if you do not fit this description may i ask you to move on and not hinder the participants here in following their god given right to pursue their goal.
