many of the senior witnesses out there, i am sure will remember the spring/summer of 1975 and the amount of excitement that was in the air surrounding the anticipation of what the new year would bring.. i have no recollection of such events as i was still in short trousers and wearing a strange cap, but anyway.... fred franz, the vice president at the time gave many talks to 000's of people about how much everyone was looking forward to 1975 and the wonderful things it would bring... without making an explicit statement as such, but the implications were all there.
these talks actually began in about 1966. the anticipation grew too much for some people and many began to heed mr franz's advice about selling their property to live out the last months on the earth in the pioneer service.
he also encouraged the young people not to pursue a career but rather to be more active in "the truth".
I remember it well!
1975 was the year when the world would change.
Would I have lost my virginity by then? (Yes).
Would Portsmouth FC have been promoted to the premiership? (No)
Would my grandfather be resurrected in that year? (No, and my father has since died).
Some dubs thought that the end would come in '76, the dates being slightly awry. In the UK, it didn't rain for seven months and much was made of vultures being spotted in Cornwall, they, (the 2 vultures) were going to eat all the millions of dead people, many of whom have the affrontery to be inconsiderately alive today.

deceptive jw elders case#3 .
for there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was (anything) made secret, but that it should come to light.
mark 4:22 .
Amazing,
Are you not aware that all these things take place because of the LOVING CONCERN that the elders have for the congregation?
Yeah, Right!

Fred, what do apostates use for toilet paper?
Why, the same stuff that you use, look:

if after all the years of being shunned by family , friends , would you forgive or forget them and all the misery they handed you, or maybe let them think about it for somtime before you talked to them again.
of course this can only happen freely if they left the org.
Well, OK, but I was always taught that one was not obliged to forgive where there was no repentence.
Of course there are exceptions, take You Know for instance. He loves to go 'postate baitin', and I've learned not to swallow the worm, but the fact that he does not elevate himself to shunning level makes him infinitely more cuddly than your average dub.

hi englishman: you asked, "amazing,a question for you before i hit the hay.
reading your posts here and on h20, it's obvious to me that you have some exceptional qualities of insight.
could it be that it is this insight that prompted you and others to believe that you were of the "anointed"?
Cheers, Amazing.
I appreciate your candid answer, I couldn't help but wonder whether JW's so imprinted their converts with an earthly hope that anything else would be automatically snt to the recycle bin!

howdy all,.
i've recently discovered all the great ex-jw sites on the internet, and i've enjoyed reading other people's stories.
but a few passing comments in some stories have made me wonder: do or did the elders keep files on individuals in each congregation?
Apart from files being kept, a bro moving to another congregation will definitely have his resume sent to his new PO. This will be in letter form and will list all his so called strengths and weaknesses. I have seen letters saying "Under no circumstances is this person to be entrusted with money / secrets / sisters etc etc."

Just heard it on Radio 2, a recent "Weakest Link" contestant was asked "What is the official journal of Jehovahs witnesses?
Back came the swift reply: "Watchdog!"

for the majority of humans, certain events are surrounded by tradition and ritual.
marriage, the birth of children, entrance into adulthood, and death are all life-events which will be marked by most with a form of religious ceremony.
for the few who have left off affiliation with a religious organization, these events are marked differently - more by tradition than by mystic ritual.
Getting back to the point, there's other matters to deal with before worrying about the goodbye ceremony.
Both my wife and I have made it absolutely clear to our kids that we have released each other from marital ties by dying, that is to say that we have already given our blessing to each other should the surviving parner wish to re-marry.
And thats our choice, it's nothing to do with some cobbled belief emanating from the Brooklyn Bachelors.
