  I do feel bad that when I went through my Mothers things after she died ,I accidently threw out some JW memrobilia she had saved from the fifties . It was the program from Yankee stadium when she was baptised ...in the 50's ..when they had the huge International convention and extra people filled the polo grounds . She had news clippings badges and programs . A whole bag of stuff got mixed in with garbage and thrown away ....I cried for days because I felt so bad ,she had saved this stuff for yrs.

  I did find an old newspaper in the garage that has an article on the front page entitled "Jehovah's Witness Riot with Vets in city park ". It is from 1940's and the small town is in northern Illinois ....can't recall the name at the moment though .

  Sphere : I try not to encourage BAD behaviors The volumes were from 1977-2004 almost thirty yrs .

  Recently I was at my parents home and noticed there are still volumes from the 50 -60's there . Mom was the JW and has passed ....Dad just never throws anything away . In their basement there are books from the 30's . One day I will be cleaning that all out too .

  Our box of Watchtower and Awake bound volumes have sat out in the garage the past five yrs . This week is city wide clean up so we finally toted them to the curb . Those suckers are heavy ! My husband asked if we should just take them to the hall and leave them on the door step ,but i said NO there is more pleasure leaving them in the garbage pile .Out also went his old cheap suits and my collection of floral below the knee dresses !

  Some young adults came by dumpster diving and asked if we had anything good ....hahaha I told them about the clothes and when they asked about the books I told them they were a collection of literature from a religious cult . When I told them it was JW's the guy asked if he could have them to BURN because he hated 'those guys ' .

  Can't wait to see his GF dressed up in those floral dresses .

  sounds like it's worth watching.. .

  elizabeth vargas' yearlong investigation into the independent fundamental baptist church airs friday, april 8. .

  try to imagine the pain and humiliation of a teenage girl, just 15 years old, who says she was forced to stand in front of a new hampshire church congregation and confess her "sin" of being pregnant.

  Watching this now .........OMG ........it is making me so angry !!!! You could just insert JW and it would be oh so familiar .

  I wonder how many Witnesses will watch this and recognize the similarities ??? Or will most watch and say "Oh how terrible ,see how bad worldly religions are ."
