"the way you walked was thorny, through no fault of your own, but as the rain enters the soil, the river enters the sea, so tears run to a predestined end.
now you will have peace for eternity.".

What matters is that the "man" in question has, at long last, found peace.
May we all find peace, love, and the end of tears: these things, despite what may prove our unchangeable circumstances.

i recently met a sister who told me she heard of a story that the late president of the watchtower society, mr. freddy franz, received secret instructions on how to direct the organization from a jewish acquaintance.. is this a conspiracy theory or could there be some truth to it?.
truthseeker.
correction:
I met the Jewish man in question. He gave our Memorial talk years ago.
The brother I met is not Jewish, but from another middle eastern country.

Unless there are two men by that name, the description above doesn't match, in the least, the brother I know. However, I cannot vouch for his past relationship with FF.

i was raised my entire life to believe it is a shame for a man to have long hair because of this bible scripture 1 corinthians 11:14, “does not nature itself teach you that long hair is a dishonor to a man?” nwt however the international standard version reads, “nature itself teaches you neither that it is disgraceful for a man to have long hair.” so what does nature really teach us?
jesus was called, “the lion of judah” and the king of the jungle has long hair.
thank you nature for clearing this twisted scripture up for me.
Although not on stage, I was still commenting at meetings while bearded and hair some 12 inches long . . .
Varying standards in JW land.

Apart from the link, further information regarding the background and motivation behind this great book (I've read it) would be appreciated. It's always useful to know the backstory.

there are a couple of schools of thought on this.
some doctors recommend postponing surgery others recommend laparascopic surgery, etc.
how about local anesthesia, complications during and after surgery and other concerns.
Glad you had it done, Fisherman! I'm sure that you have been advised what activities to avoid. As a laborer, I had to wait some time to resume the heavy-duty stuff.
All right now in that department.
Best wishes.

saw this while browsing through the good news brochure:.
is it any wonder people aren't listening to jws anymore?
what an absolutely delusional scene!
The newly risen man is loyally directing other resurrected ones to Jehovah's organization.
Somehow, I was never taught this heartwarming truth as a little boy when attending Methodist Sunday School in the 1950s. Back then, it was all about Jesus . . .

i spent couple wonderful days in napa valley and sonoma with visits to san francisco.
what hits me was the number of apathy carts in the city.
they were at powell station, embarcadero, fisherman wharf, etc.
I recall, 5 cents each, 10 cents for the pair here in Canada.
Thanks, Incognito! I remember the event (placing my first pair) circa 1967, but obviously not the price. You're correct.

Correction: I think it was 20 cents (10 cents the copy in the '60s).
