Found an Old Letter
by Scully in
1. jw
2. friends
i was going through an old file folder a few days ago and came across this letter i wrote to our old congregation regarding renovations that had been proposed.

at the time, i was very upset with the way the proposals were steam-rollered through (i think the sentiment comes across nicely in my letter lol).

has anything like this ever happened elsewhere??

this face was seen at least at 10,000 doors in many states during my 25 years in the borg.

Watchtower Article Titles We'll Never See
by COMF in
1. jw
2. friends
i saw redhorsewoman's thread title, "the time is at hand", and knew why she picked it: because the society uses that phrase all the time (or used to when i was in, anyway... i'm betting they still do).

it reminded me of a district assembly part from along about 1983 called "now is the time" (can any of you brighter types guess which song they chose to accompany it?).

this got me to thinking of how the society has these pet phrases they use over and over again, often featuring them in some thinly reworked format (like going from "now is the time" to "the time is at hand") as article titles.

"Not of Our Sort" Part I
by TMS in
1. jw
2. friends
i am an old man.. this is a topic i have been comtemplating for some time as i continue in this transitional time of my life, reminiscing about my 50+ years with what some of you call the "borg", but i simply refer to as jehovah's witnesses.. good people i have known who loved god, but did not fit into the organizational scheme of things is the topic.

there will be at least three parts a la amazing.

this topic will sink out of sight like a rock, but it is therapeutic to write it and the contemplation brings a smile to my face.. my first subject is b.w.. b.w.

A.J.W.R.B Letter to Editor - Orange County
by waiting in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i had no idea that the blood issue was so complicated.

i really could not begin to argue or explain this to a doctor.

no wonder the society made little cards for us and send a specially trained group to talk for us.. found this letter today --.

Introduction
by Carmel in
1. jw
2. experiences
i just wanted to introduce myself.

i grew up as a witness in the 50's but found that there were to many issues that i could not resolve without going "outside" to investigate.

i have never returned and have no desire to, however, about two years ago i discovered h20 and have been participating there every since.
