33My stepfather died tonight
by Mulan ini have just finished making phone calls informing the family of the death of my stepfather.
i was an adult when he married my mother, but i loved him very much.
he was a wonderful man.. although he was a faithful jw, for his entire life (he was born to it) he was a really good man, and a true christian, i believe.

One sister raised her hand during a WT study, and commented on the public talk just given previously on Simon Peter. She commenced to tell how she felt that sometimes she had a little peter in her, in fact, we ALL have a little peter in us from time to time!!! Her poor husband almost died of embarrassment. Another instance; this may be an urban legend, was this young fellow during his bible reading said,"And they pinched their tits in canaan" instead of "they pitched their tents in canaan". Dino

Thank you, Bill Harv. You have accomplished so much in such a short period of time. Thank you for your bulldog tenacity, we all know it wasnt easy. They will not show it now, but their facade is really starting to crumble. It would take strong leadership to guide them out of this morass, but they are adrift at this time. We realize that your real work is ahead of you but we are behind you in spirit and monetarily. Please give our thanks to all your wonderful assistants as well. Dino

Uh Oh! Now I've gone and done it. Warning: LONG
by betweenworlds inhere i was in happy-no one is really bothering me too much-lala land, until yesterday when i had to go and open my mouth.
a pioneer sister from our hall emailed me to inquire what was preventing me from attending the meetings, and asked what was holding me back from going.
(this is about the 5th or 6th email asking this question) welllllll, i guess i just reached a point where i couldn't pretend anymore.

Hi betweenworlds, Great letters!!! May you have the peace that Jesus gives. Who knows, maybe your words have planted the seed that will open her eyes. It took courage to do what you did, but the truth is the truth. Dino

Who do we pray to?
by Theo Cratz injehovah's witnesses obviously make a big thing over god's name and say that we should call him jehovah.. but when jesus taught his disciples how to pray in matthew 6:9 why didn't he start the prayer "jehovah"?
instead he starts it "our father".
surely if jesus had wanted us to use god's name he would have taught us to use it in prayer?.

Good evening Theo Cratz and a hearty welcome. Will check out your website presently. One scripture, Acts 7:59. We have been carefully steered away from Jesus in this organization which really dishonors almighty God. Ciao for now, Dino

The Watchtower and the Masons
by ozziepost inthe latest edition of the free in christ ministries journal contains a very interesting article entitled the watchtower and masons.. drawing upon material from the book the watchtower & the masons by fritz springmeier, it gives the following parallels between the things that c t russell believed and those taught by the masons:.
* both believe jehovah is the most important word being the basis of their dogma, and the name of their god.
* both believe god yielded power to a lesser god.

Hello Seeker, Just curious if you could give some erudite reasoning as to why you do not believe that Russell had at least some type of masonic leanings. It seems that you always say you are in the camp that Russell was not a mason, without giving a reason that I have seen, while giving others condescending counsel about their right to an opinion on the matter. I'm not trying to be inflammatory, once again, just curious. Thats why I enjoy other's posts, because they give a thought provoking response. Please dont take offense, there is no need to patronize, but I would really, sincerely be interested in your viewpoint. Dino

Marley Cole, a Watchtower Stooge?
by JAVA inthanks to wasasister, i just received a copy of jehovah's witnesses, the new world society, by marley cole, vantage press, ny, 1955 printing date.
as some of you know, cole wrote this book under the pretence that he was only interested in writing about the jws, and didn't identify himself as a jw.
note what the jacket cover says about him:.
