13Sept. Magazines Ridiculous Quotes
by Sirona inon reading the september issues of watchtower and awake, i had a good laugh at the hypocrisy that leaped out at me.awake sept 8th 2002 :"to believe that numerological interpretations are accurate, when they are based upon such widely variable factors as calendar and language, is to stretch the limits of credibility to an absurd degree.".
considering the amount of ridiculous number crunching done by the society, how amazing that they print that statement!
if i remember rightly 607 date is based on an interpretation of calendar dates and the 'language' of the bible (which they always manage to skew to their doctrine).

I was only a regular publisher, but I absoluetely hated giving talks. It used to crack me up that nobody knew or realized that I essentially gave the same talk everytime......into was usually an illustration followed by the bible reading...conclusion was a "how can we apply this to us as jah's people today" type thing. #4 talks were slightly different, but the jist was the same. Everytime, people would come up and tell me how great my talk was. My wife and I used to crack up, cause we both knew I threw it together in about 10 minutes over dinner that night.
I did love early morning service though....nothing like drinking coffee and driving around listening to Public Enemy.

Can owning/reading apostate material get me DF'ed?
by PandaJ inhello, first time poster, long time reader.. i was wondering just what my title asks.
if i own/read/admit to apostate material, can that get me df'ed?.
i know better then to admit that i believe the apostate material to the elders, or that i disagree with the society's teachings, but will simply admitting to owning and reading them get me df'ed?.

I wouldn't think so, although if they know that you've read those books, they'll ask you if you think that it is Jehovah's organization. If you waver at all, you will pretty much get the boot.

Surviving the Hearing to DF Me.
by Sentinel ini must say that reading all these posts have really brought back so many memories for me.
i had a terrible experience at my hearing, which i believe now, really bordered on sexual abuse of the mental kind.. our congregation was small.
this was difficult for the few young people that attended.

Friday: "Worship the Only True God" (black/yellow paperback type book replacing "United in True Worship (1983)")
this doesn't make any sense to me. The United book hasn't been used for bible studies or anything in a very very long time. -

If I remember correctly, although the Society did name names in the 70s and possibly early 80s, they didn't after that time. They made very broad hints about the topics of some songs, and it wasn't that hard to guess some of the songs they were talking about. I say "some" because I wasn't allowed to listen to hard rock, so that kind of music is foreign to me.
not true! I remember right around the time that Nirvana was the biggest band in the world a brother came down from Brooklyn and gave a talk at Buckingham Assembly hall in Bucks County, PA and from the stage mentioned Nirvana by name and said that no true christian would listen to them. As for putting it into print - you may be right about that.
I also heard in a talk that Guns n Roses is bad because guns = penis and roses = vagina. So Guns n Roses is really just another way of saying sex. duh.
