i was referred to the above mentioned book but never thought it necessary before to read.
i am starting the 3rd chapter now and all i can say is wow!
what happened to me has happened to many.
The following kind of thinking/rumor makes me crazy,..... thanks cantleave for getting that straight in some one's head!
I was conversing with someone yesterday about 1975, he thought that was a date initiated by Raymond Franz, and that was why he was DF'd.

hi i'm twvsnt and i've been a witness for 3 years now.
im glad this site exists.
i've been meaning to speak to fellow witnesses who are more open-minded.
Damn, your post makes me crazy
and I don't buy it for a minute.....good luck and its a really sorry ass situation from how many years ago?
I don't care much about how a song book looked but what the music would sound like. It has been one of my biggest beef's with the jws. Why not have beautiful choir music, if nothing else.
I have been in churches where the music, especially at Christmas time could bring you to tears.
There was a link given on another post which I will add here from the "New Song Book"
Sadly, its from Romania but I thought it sounded nice. http://www.youtube.com/user/vestitorulimparatiei#p/u/11/lwdEVN245Ok

i've been on this site for a number of years now.
i don't easily trust just anybody.
having said that, there are a few persons here that know my real identity and i'm comfortable with them.. are there certain posters that you trust here?.
There are quite a few I have talked to on the phone , had correspondence with and/or exchanged emails with. I've discovered an ex relative formerly married to a second cousin, after she discovered me!
It takes some time, but I feel comfortable with everyone here I have exchanged private information with......but be very careful.

my mother let it slip the other day that all the families in their hall are putting together a small suitcase.
inside this suitcase are to be things that you will take with you if given a 5 minute warning that the great tribulation is starting and you need to leave your home.
my father seemed quite embarrassed that this slipped.
Need some place to land when the big A hits?
I'm taking reservations.....(read previous post)

You can pack anything you want, but the bathroom situation has always been my biggest worry.....
I'm a very private person.....and don't want to be going anywhere in public.
I'm pretty happy to stay just where I am if it comes down to it.......
We are on a septic system, so if all else fails, you can still flush a toilet with water......So....if all else fails, there is 30,000 gallons of pool water to get the job done.
If you need to go, when the world shuts down you can come stay with me!!!!

i am feeling sick after reading the question box - it's so cold and unfeeling toward those who use the telephone to listen to congregation meetings.. .
the wts desire to control their weakest members - the infirm and chronically ill - by guilting them into "putting forth the effort to be personally present " at the kingdom hall is disgusting.. .
they are heartless bastards.... ________________________________________.
Too funny....my mom told me this morning she was too exhausted to go to the KH last night so did the phone line hook up. She conked out during the first song, and woke up during the concluding prayer.
As Sylvia says: Tee Hee Hee!

i mien what difference does it make weather jesus died on a cross or a stake, or if people believe that they go to heaven or hell, or if one wants to call it church or a kingdum hall, as long as they are happy, and it does not change what god really has in store.. all arguing with other people with these senseless issues does is kick the crutch out from under someone elses faith.
so to speak.. it makes me think that they have to knock everyone elses product because their product is no good.. or may be there is a message between the lions.... .

True Blue, you nailed it with the JW's when you stated:
