  Ok that's cool FF. Up to you. I know if I read anything now it just reminds me that I don't want to read it so easier not to. I do get it though, it is hard not to eh? After so many years being conditioned to it.

  I just think that we need to concentrate of what is value to us now and just improve our lives right now. I'm off to Date with destiny on Tues (Tony Robbins). This guy is amazing and is more 'truth' than I've learned in decades. Take care

  Hey factfinder, just being cheeky but why would you even want copies? I just don't even worry about it anymore and it is very healthy. Cheers

  Something a CO once said.

  "there are only three reasons you should miss a meeting.

  fever, fracture or funeral.

  everything else is a sorry excuse.

  If the updated version of the shepherd/elder guidelines are anything to go by it seems the oh so humble and lowly CO has got even more power and influence. Suppose it gives the GB some free time for more red wine.

  A Subtle Factor That Keeps Witnesses Silenced

  by freemindfade in

  had an interesting thought this morning.

  when a witness is 'in' they think everyone else is following and trying there best all in unity.

  i believe the reality is there are a lot of us 'in' who know different.

  Thanks for your morning thought FMF. Brilliant and it was so true when I look back at my cong. We were scared of admitting it though.

  OMG. Thanks Watchtower Free. It really baffles me but hang on thinking about that would require doing just that.

  I continue to be amazed at the arrogance and damage of the one and only 'right' way.

  In Search of the Hysterical Jesus

  by Bible_Student777 in

  it arrived in my email yesterday:.

  merry christmas one and all!

  the christmas season brings to mind visions of the baby jesus, wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger (a manger is a feeding-trough for farm animals by the way, and i know darn well most of you didn't know that!

  I know this is an old post but after reading it I googled what the actual appearance of Jesus might have been like.

  Why? Because I grew up in a racist religion with white people who accepted other skin types but subtly inferred that white was the proper colour. Disgraceful. I wanted to know what history had to say about the 'messiah'.

  Its amazing that a so called inspired faith would only offer the pictures of a white Jesus in it's written info. Really?

  I know it harks back to Russell and of that era but if they could not be truthful about quite an important fact and portrayal then how can they be truthful about everything else? They can't and I think they made it all up.

  Nice one Violias. If there is a hell that's where there headed. I was a kid in 75 but I remember all the slagging of one's that had sold properties and cashed up, given up jobs etc. like they were demented. All they were doing was following something that the strongly believed would come to pass and then they were ridiculed because of it. Disgraceful that innocent people get affected by this disease.
