i have someone sent me the clarification about the 607 date by the wts.
don't want to post it here to avoid suspicions (from the sender).
i can email to you or pm and see how valid that is.. any takers?.
FingersCrossed -
I don't understand the purpose of this thread. Are you looking to get information or are you looking to share it?
If you are looking to share it, are you offering to send it someone via pm so they can re-post it as if it came from them and not you?

my sister in law has been shunned by the family since she da'd herself at the age of 18 and moved out of the house.
i always insisted that my wife keep in contact with her and made sure she knew she had a soft place to land,with us, should she need it.
even at the risk of it getting us in hot water with the pioneer,elder,bethelite family members there was no way we were going to let her disappear into the wild blue yonder on her own.
I googled and could find nothing for "Hawaiian Education Facility" that was JW oriented.
Can someone please confirm? Photos would be great!

what does everyone think for that term?
i am diggin it!
i am thinkin no one has coined this?
If you plan it, they may come.
But sorry to burst your bubble on the coining... the word "Apostapalooza" has been used before:

I thought the 2007 Toronto 'Fest was Apostapalooza, apparently I am wrong about that.
Throw out a date and location. Who knows? You might get something started.

does the image below show up for everyone?
it's a cut-and-paste of an ad for classmates.com.. what caught my eye is that the books they have in their ad are actually jw yearbooks!!
odd, isn't it?.
It *is* weird. It popped up on game I was playing and I did a double take. I used to have everyone one of those books - and then some. I think my 1975 book is still in my garage somewhere. And my '73 book was more worn than the one in the photo.
Finally Awake - feel free to report it to whomever you chose!
Wonder if a JW is contracting with classmates.com for their web presence...?

just wondering if your name describes what you saw, how you were treated when you were "in" or now "out", maybe your personality, ect.... i'm label licker and the why i picked this name was because of all the licking up one side of elders and down the other to either be an elder or ministerial servant.
one time i was standing right in front of this brother who wasn't made an ms yet and he totally ignored me and talked right over my head speaking really loud trying to catch the co's attention.. got sick of watching the poor elderly sitting all alone or standing against the wall like a wall flower with noone to talk to and yet all these label lickers would take turns picking up the elders elderly parents and take them shopping and do their groceries at least four times a week while out in service, yet, there was noone there to take a meal to a sister who just got out of the hospital with a heart attack.
when i had shown up at her apartment with a meal she asked if i could wash her private and change her bandages.

Love, Santa.
i would like to thank everyone who is a part of this community.
i have been abused by this billion dollar evil religion since i was born.
i am now in my late thirties and have been battling depression issues over my former abuses by this nongoverment organization.
Wow. Quite the introductory post. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
So very happy to have you join JWN.
