i received this email only seconds ago and i'm just passing it on to those that knew jan, i have no other details:.
jan groenveld will no longer be a part of these forums.
she passed away in her sleep last night.
Just recently I began receiving e-mails from JanG, and I enjoyed each and every one of them.
I had no idea who he/she was. Now that I do know, I feel the loss all the more.
My condolences to all her family and friends.
Craig

*** w60 7/15 444 staying awake with the "faitful and discreet slave" *** yes, the "faitful and discreet slave" was awake to the coming of 1914. in 1942 the "faitful and discreet slave" guided by unerring spirit made known that the democracies would win world war ii and that there would be a united nations organisation set up.
once again the "faitful and discreet slave" has been tipped off ahead of time.
does anyone have the article this quote is referring to?
garybuss: Me thinks it probably should read like this: "Yes, the "Faitful and Discreet Slave" was awake to the coming of 1914 in 1942."
ROFLMAO
The FDS isn't tipped off, just plain tipsy.

no, we are not strangers at this late date.
we've lived and loved together for well over 5 years.
i love the thread you posted kenpodragon.
Witch Child: FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!
May your happiness together last at least as long as Searchin50 and his wife!
Craig (of the also looking for the next 42 years happily married class)
in my current life i know a lot of people who live together.
some of them might have done this because they do not like marriage, and others have done this as a step towards getting married.
in all, in my post-witness life i find that i have no problem with either view.
ballistic (and animal): Thanks for the clarification. I didn't express myself well. No intention to imply anything about either of you...I was speaking about my own experience.
Craig
we all know that mt.
24:45 is misapplied regarding the faithful and discreet slave.
many are aware too, of the misapplication of the"house-to-house" or door-to-door ministry.
YES, UnDisfellowshipped now has the mark of the beast!!!!!!!
So, since everybody is piling on here, I'll add my own 260#...
How about Rom 13:1? Was Caesar, then God, and back to C again. Convenient timing, too, as I recall the shift back and forth.
Craig
edit for PS: Just noticed that I'm also approaching 666 (shssssshhhh)

as i stepped onto the sand of the beach i looked to the west and saw waves crashing over the distant rocks.
they collided with the rocks with a mix of violence exploded into the beauty of white water, that burst into a mist that produced the colors of the rainbow as it disperse the light of our sun, all in the glimpse of one moment.
one moment in time, that i witnessed in only just this first step on to the beach, imagine what the other ones were going to find.
freedomhouse3: "I have learned that no one can ever take the good moments away from you without your permission."
Inhaling the sweet smell of freedom,
the spray of the ocean breeze,
catching the essence of life in its sum,
the rustle of wind through the trees.
well, its not like i post here too often, but i still occasionally browse through the various topics and catch up on what has been going on in the xjw world....after 8 months of not attending meetings i can honestly say i am much happier.
my perceptions and views of "apostates" and people who abhor the watchtower society has gradually changed too....at first i was all for all of the movements and stuff like that.
but now it seems almost its own cult to me, with all of its own catch phrases and "elite members".
DIM: As Simon says "ex-ex-JWs"
I think that is a ways away for me (though maybe much closer than I think).
In any case, this forum will ALWAYS have a very special value to me.
Happy trails to you, DIM

i mean look at that hat!.
how the heck....?
reminds me of that i love lucy episode where she's trying to descend a flight of stairs while wearing a towering showgirl-style headdress....
<<thinking the Pope has his head(s) mixed up>>
it is clear that the evolutionist is so tied to his religion that he cannot think objectively - so here i issue a challenge of a general nature.
let us develop a focussed discussion in which we agree ahead of time which sub-topic of this noxious subject we address first.. i will take the liberty of suggesting the following:.
given the almost inevitable and immediate degeneration that debates about creation and evolution seem to descend into, how about we address the sociological aspects first - to clear the ground, as it were: how would you feel (whether creationist or apostate evolutionist dog) if incontravertible evidence emerged that the "other" side was actually right?
