  since half of them ended up at my house on friday and saturday nights i was given a very shining report card.

  he then told me that he would knock on my door bright and early in the morning to take me to breakfast with him and his wife.

  a couple of them told they enjoy the articles i write in the art magazines and they were really happy to meet me.

  Russia - Still King of the North

  when the berlin wall came down, even before the offical dissolution of the soviet union, the watchtower was quick to back away from the idea that russia was the king of the north.

  nothing really changed.

  true, there is an appearance of friendship and cooperation between russia and the us but russia is the one country that can totally destroy the usa.

  i have been wandering around the board for a while now, and have decided it is time to contribute a bit of my history.

  i have described my involvement with the witnesses as being from the outside looking in.

  my sweet honey has been trying for two years to get reinstated.

  ARE YOU UPSET THAT YOU DIDN"T GO TO COLLEGE?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have read of some people's bitterness because they were denied the opportunity to go to college.

  during the 60's and 70's the society really discouraged any education other than what was necessary.

  since the end was so near, especially around 1975, anybody that decided to go to "higher education" was considered very weak and unbalanced.

  so we can see that the early jehovah witnesses believed that jesus parousia began in 1874. the truth book states this above and it is in all the old books.

  this statement is coming from the organization that offered the scholarship and keeps written records of such.
