it has been a while since we have heard from the circuit overseer, carlo.
i'm glad to see his website is still up although it is missing some great stuff.
please check the aritcle "are cats for true christian", for new light.
OK, I need to know....This is a parody right? To show how easily the society can demonise and paganise anything. Right?
THIS article, I remember...it was one of the first "apostate" essay I read when I was still a JW. And everytime I would read a Awake article, I would be reminded of that parody. And then I realised that the WT was really doing that...and I started laughing at myself for being so gullible for all those years. Beginning of the end.
i've commented before that the watchtower goes out of its way to label groups of people it doesn't want you to like -- "worldly people", "apostates", "christendom".
there are scores of these labels.. people in general use them too: "spick", "n*gger", "trailer trash".
once we allow ourselves to refer to people by a label, we automatically change them from an individual to a member of a group.
i was df'd in 1985 and have not been back since.
of course disowned by my family.
at that time they rarely called or came over because i had small children and they called just enough to semi maintain a relationship with them.
If there was any change, I would be one of the first to know. My father has sent a letter to Bethel to inquire about his being supposed to talk to me. (I DAd but I'm very close to the family so much that it would qualify as close family circle...) I would make quite a rant about it if they changed that too. Not that I wouldn't be happy, but I would be sure to let him realise how many people's lives this has ruined. It's been two months and he's still waiting. I hope this shows him how much Bethel cares for rank and files. (Very busy, they say. Probably busy firing old-timers.)

.
when you were a dud (i call it 'dud' not dub..lol), ok how can i put this.....were you 'always on'?
meaning did you always have something to give to people or witness to them at 'every' opportunity or did you look at it as a 'job' where you only gave things out in service?
are the `verses' mean to make the magazines more academic looking?
