38Society's recall of older books
by rekless indoes anybody remember when the wtbts ask all the congregations to bring back all the old outdated books.
i think it was in the late eighties.
there was an announcement from the podium, return old books so they could be returned to new york.. i was too lazy to go through my books and take them in.

Do J.W.'s deliberately lie to new converts?
by hubert inwhen i showed my daughter a story of an old man who was df'd and shunned for asking questions about w.t.
doctrine, she said "he must have had a big sin".
so, this is what my daughter is being taught, that you have to have a "big sin" to be disfellowshipped and shunned.

thats ok, usually things are sneaky but here i one that i thought of.
A cleaning service near me is ran by JW's and employ's only...JW's.
Anyone one of them stole money and instead of getting in trouble, he was disfellowshipped.
So witnesses are the police now eh?

Well, how consistent are JW's?
How blind are JW's? here is an example.
If you have read 1984 George Orwell, changing information to fit the purpose, changing meanings, even a degree of the rules on the wall in Animal Farm.
I ask anyone with the ability to Open this article in the seperate mags, then in the bound Volume.
The date mentioned at first makes it sound like Armageddon will be here in no time, the other allows for Armageddon to never come and for people to wait and wait.

Well, this might be slightly off, but my stepdad would push me around a lot *literally* and he changed my mum b'cos he's a control freak.
Who gave him this right? hehe, jehovah made him head of the household, so for the five years i prayed to Jehovah to save me, get me out of this mess, even in times of doubt blaming myself....nothing. Bruises, cuts, emotional pain and things i shall never forget.

well at 14 he/she could be confused, its fine and normal for teens to be gay for a while then become 'normal'...raging hormones and such, as for saying God can heal this, why when its either confusion or genetic differences, and if he/she ends up gay then so what....its a person, an individual and they will feel this way.
