I've looked on ebay and found things like, "Watchtower library 1997".
Does this include all '97 WT and Awakes and any books that came out in '97 or is it just the WT's of '97?
Do you have to get each year or is their like a box set of all bound volumes and books on CD?
dear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.
I just spent a very enjoyable night at the horse track with my dad. Good times. Only if that 3 horse would have nosed it out at the line. 65-1 and he was closing as if he was a 3-1 horse. Oh well,...atleast I have the Preakness to start concentrating on.
reading some of these comments brought up a situation to mind.
another thing that brought doubt into my mind was when i first became a pioneer... unfortunately... i was talking to one of the most looked up to pioneer sisters in my hall (over zealous, elders wife) one day out in service and she pulled me to the side and wanted to discuss my association with another young sister in the hall.
this young sister was my best friend.
Sister Righteous was a blessing in disquise. The WTS breeds those types. If it wasn't for those types it may have been a lot more difficult for you and all of us to be enlightened about "the truth". Those experiences hurt and bring emotion but they are part of the reason we are now free.

What happened to your friend? Is she still a witness?
i remember from past college courses that in the old testament the isrealites were not allowed to say god's name yhwy because it was too sacred, so they could only write it; therefore, they used el when saying god's name....correct?.....the jws seem to claim that they are the only religion to know god's name, but where do they get the right to say jehovah.
are there any scriptures that would confirm the change from only writing god's name to saying it?
i was just wondering about this questions because the jws have an answer for everthing....maybe i should ask one.
The Jewish taboos that Narc was speaking of don't exist in Christianity or pseudo-Christianity for that matter.
Christians can go straight to the father through Jesus without going through a high priest or any other mediator.
Therefore, YHWH is fine to use in christianity.
The real problem with the WTS is the way they translated the New Testament in their New World Translation.
Read "The Divine Name in the New World Translation".
so we all know that carey barber died recently.. i was wondering if most jw's know about this news.
do they make an announcement at the congregations?
have a moment of silence?.
They don't care about the man,...but they are willing to die by his words.
i'm about to get into a trade.. i basically can get an apprenticeship in either trade.
any suggestions?.

So I guess my next question is:
Do they announce his replacement?
I'm guessing that they probably don't, or if they do, it's a tiny blurb in the wt or awake.

Do they talk about what a good witness he was,...etc?
What about Bethel? They would all know,...I'm sure.
So do they make an official announcement and have a really large funeral memorial?
if i ever needed a blood transfusion would i have a right as a minor to choose a blood transfusion
Yet if you are unconscious and your family are JW's they could make that decision for you. You might want to carry a card in your wallet that says I ACCEPT BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS.
