Request - May 1974 Kingdom Ministry (1975 selling homes etc)
by AlphaOmega indoes anyone "out there" have a good scan of the may 1974 kingdom ministry - it is it often quoted for it's boldness about encouraging people to sell their homes.... .
reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of then-days in this old system in the pioneer service certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's .
i would be really grateful if anyone can dig it out.. .

"I am leaving"
by DazedAndConfused inbigdreaux's thread caused me to think back on similar threads where the poster's have been blasted for their exit threads.
most try to reason with the poster with positive responses and try to get them to stay with us, but a few have posted negative thoughts to being downright nasty.. i have noticed various post's stating "you'll be back" (in sarcasm) to those who outright state that we are better off without you (the poster who says goodbye.).
there have been good people here, bigdreaux included, who are ostracised for their post to say goodbye.

Well I did one and was met by a mixed response ,I'm bi-polar and had an emotional time and decided to quit when someone said something nasty.
A few encouraged me to stay and I'm glad I did OK there are junk posters here but I feel this is because some grew up in the LIE and have'nt grown up yet .
But by far there is alot of good ordinary people here ,and even though I don't post alot ,I do enjoy reading how others feel and think even though their lifestyle maybe different.
I've been helped by knowlege and gained strength from others encouragement and cried for those in trouble. It's not the same as being together in the flesh ,but it has been for me better than going to a Kingdom Hall with people who display false freindship.
So if some leave let's hope they've healed and got their life and dignity back while they were with us here.

Jehovah ,I know you blame the governments of this system for forcing you to watch billions of people live and die of starvation ,it's their fault you say ,but........
Why did you listen to my wifes prayers ,when she was a little girl , for help to stop her Elder father molesting her for years, and not answer them ,and yet let this glorious Prince of yours do this for years?

Our government reps are a bunch of arse lickers ,and alot of Australians are ashamed of them too......after all people here paid to hear Clinton talk ,but then that's probably what he did to Monica Lewinski before he blew his load on her clothes ,and then "I did not have sexual relations with that woman", but they obviously liked Clintons talk and recieved a load on them too!

Jehovahs or Yawehs name ,JW's got it right?
by wozadummy inok i'll admit i just posted this to get rid of obve topic being stuck on the first page....but while i'm here i have'nt seen an explanation given here for whether the jw's are correct in putting gods name back into the old testament.. i just thought some here could voice their opinions on this for the benefit of new ones reading topics on this site.. as for me ,it does puzzle me as to why all versions of the old testament don't have it in all 6000 odd places ,seems to me people here could be seen as ignoring the hard questions if good reasons are'nt given to oppose the standard jw stand ,if indeed that needs to be done?

Were you ever the subject of a Circuit Overseers Special Talk?
by prophecor indid they ever single you out and have a talk especially in your honour?.
a talk that was specifically in mind of you?.
did you stand and face the music, or did you cover yourself in shame?.

No but I was the subject of a D.O 's talk in part,as he changed the original script to fit it in.
It happened this way..........I was a MS and an Elder and his wife took exception to my thinking on my children going on schoolcamps.
Their children were about the same age as mine ,and went to the same school and were in the same classes. Well this was after the School brochure came out and as usual there were the self righteous ones waving it about ,including this Elder and his wife.
The subject of schoolcamps was brought up in the Elders and MS meetings amongst other things ,and this Elder was trying to lobby support against me in the meetings as I had expressed disagreement with him and his wife over this matter .
I had pointed out to him that the schoolcamps that were depicted in the brochure were typically American holiday type camps for extended periods of time ,whereas here in Australia the camps the children had here were actually study/camping adventures of perhaps just a weekend. Kids were encouraged to study the ecology or whatever the theme was and parents were invited to go along and assist the teachers. My first wife and I would take turns in going on these camps and really saw the value of this kind of education.
The teachers were confused though as to why some of the JW parents would let their kids go and even assist,and yet the majority (with fear of the Elder body) would not let their kids go.
Therein lies the motive for what happened next.....the Circiut Assembly came and while I was attending the cappacinno machine after lunch the DO was giving a talk ,the Elder above came rushing across the lunch room floor and attacked me verbally " see I told you you're wrong,you can't let your children go on school camps!" ,and said this extremely loud and in anger in front of brothers and sisters finishing up cleaning after lunch .
Now I had been listening on the speakers to the DO and he had just changed in mid-talk the theme of it and proceeded to condemn certain brothers who were in our area letting their children go on camps and how this is from Satan! Well when confronted by the Elder ranting I just calmly expressed the same view I had given him before ,well this made him even madder and he then proceedeed to admit that he was freindly with the DO Franz Hoobler and had told him about me just before the session started.
What a nasty bit of business him and his wife are ,but I guess I can thank them ,for this was one of the events that led me eventually to question firstly the JW people and how they think ,but mostly the Governing Body that feebly watches as people take their rules and twist them to suit themselves and try to hurt others who are supposed to be their spiritual brothers and sisters.

I'm shooting for the most petty JW-caused problem/complaint
by RisingEagle inok, here's the deal.
several years ago my brother-in-law (who is also a reformed jw fader) helped us move back to oklahoma.
while we were taking apart furniture prior to the move we were using my drill and 75 foot extension cord.

What Do You Do for Work / Career?
by BlackPearl ini've been on the board for quite a while now and was wondering, what do my fellow jwdr's do for work, employment or career?
me, i'm in probably one of the most hated careers in america right now.
(not gonna tell you what it is either) but how about you, what do you do to earn a little coin?.

Black Pearl's gotta be a LAWYER or Politician ,no-one wants to be one except for the fiscal benefits.
Me, I'm a builder ,you know one of those people the WTS thinks is important until there is no more quick builds!
