  lconvention lonliness

  by independenthinker in

  growing up i've always felt so lonely at conventions.

  seeing the other kids with 2 parents to spend the weekend with always made me cry as a kid.

  it was, and still is, a really lonely existence.

  Do what you have to do if you want to avoid further suspicion. It's very difficult to be part of a cliquey cult when you're not in a clique, so take your phone, or Ipad or whatever gadget that young people have, and surf apostate websites while you're at the convention.

  jamiebowers:

  Excuse me, but I could not find the above letter in that link. What I did find was a heavy distortion of facts, and outright lies. That is not a reliable site at all.

  No, but if you look in COC, which was quoted in my post, you may find the answer there. I don't know. I just Googled and found that page, because no one else responded to you.

  here's an excellent critical analysis of the new wt video.

  the author claims "fair use" so it may stay up, but you should watch it before it gets pulled too.

  Ray Franz's statement about Fred Franz is referenced here:

  http://www.letusreason.org/JW39.htm

  According to Raymond Franz, only Fred Franz had "sufficient knowledge of the Bible languages to attempt translation of this kind. He had studied Greek for two years in the University of Cincinnati but was only self taught In Hebrew." Raymond Franz, Crisis of Conscience (Atlanta: Commentary Press, 1983), 50

  The above quote can be found right after the first citation of the Walsh trial transcripts. In the second citaton of the trial transcript, Fred couldn't read the OT in Hebrew.

  If things keep going on at the same rate they will soon only be able to talk to one another.

  Tht won't work either, what with all of the marking ging on within the congregations.
