by TheListener inbacking away from 1914?
i think not.. may 1, 2006 wt third study article on page 27, paragraph 2 and 3 state:.
"2. almost 30 years after that pentecost in 33 c.e., the apostle paul confirmed that christ had not yet taken full kingdom power, but he was "at the right hand of god, from then on awaiting until his enemies should be placed as a stool for his feet.

Hey Leolaila, I think the graphs are great. A picture (or graph) is worth a thousand words. Your graphs certainly show a decline in emphasis on 1914 and 607 both. Excellent work.

Well I think that her desire to have a relationship with her Grandfather is a good thing and an opportunity that you should capitalize on. I agree with the poster that said that she may be trying to identify or seek out family that will be supportive of her and her new found identity.
If it were me I would persue the relationship and try to develope the connection with my bloodline. I know that I can benifit my children's children dispite what they have been brainwashed to believe. I would also be firm. I would make sure that they knew what I felt was acceptable behavior for a 16 year old addolescent. Most importantly I would share my love...my whole hearted, unadulterated love for my grand child, because in the end that's all that really matters.

Going over my grandmother-in-law's house on Sunday for dinner. Other than that-nothing.
Whats the difference between outlaws and in-laws? Outlaws are wanted.
Just kidding, Im blessed with wonderful inlaws and I love them very much.

My First Memorial Experience (From someone who has never been a JW)
by whyizit ini told you i would post, so if you are interested, here it is:.
we were walking toward the building laughing and happy, and i noticed that we were the only ones in good spirits.
everyone else was dressed to the nines and somber.

Thanks for sharing your experience. As an ex-JDub who was raised in the cult, it's refreshing to read and experience and opinion such as your own from an outsider's perspective.
Personally I always enjoyed the memorial as a kid growing up. I always got a new suit which helped my self confidence. It was a relatively short meeting time wise and half of the meeting was spent on passing the wine and crackers around. I didnt have to pay attention or worry about falling asleep.
As I got a little older I decided to bring the wine cup up to my face to take a breath in of the aroma. That would always get a gasp or two from nibby noses near by afraid that I was about to partake. LOL.

What's the most exotic vehicle you've ever spotted in a KH parking?
by JH inok, it could be a motorcycle or a truck too.

Here's one at a kingdom hall where this brand new Ministerial Servant was getting out of hand and even dressed like a cop and busted a brother who forgot to unload his crop od weed before coming to the memorial.
Damn! I need to start attending meeting again!

Hello, I'm new - does anyone else feel the same as me?
by Zalrahs ini was raised in the jw cult from birth until i left when i was 18(i am now 34).
i hated it from the beginning, but because my mom was so strict, there was nothing i could do about it.
(my dad didn't belong to the jws but i didn't get much sympathy or support from him - he didn't want to "rock the boat".

I agree. I don't think that I'll ever be able to tolerate "organized" religion. I feel as Frank Lloyd Wright felt, that the Earth is my church.

Im sorry to hear about this situation JH. I know what it's like. My dad has some health issues that have my entire family concerned. I've been trying to appreciate every moment with him, even if it's just a quick hello.
Hang in there and know that you can find support and encouragement here.

Normally I'll get a formal visit from some elder from my old hall (I think at my mother's request). But this year.....nothing! Im slightly dissapointed about it too. Lately I've looked forward to meeting JW's and jabbing them with a dose of "truth".
