an old acquaintance way back from the h20 discussion board days has given me a link to a talk given at an assembly by the then district overseer duggan, that he had recorded on a cassette tape.
amazingly, he still had the tape and made it into and mp3 file and has shared it.

It appears that there were a number of Circuit Servants who believed the end would come in 1975, and they made statements in their talks at Assemblies. I remember hearing our Circuit Servant say that we had only "33 months left". (It was either 33 or 32 months left, I can't remember for sure which it was). I just happened to have had my tape recorder going, and so I still have that on cassette tape.

by booby infrom their literature as source.
i did some searching and was surprised that i couldn't find them referring to those who simply quit and/or speak their doubts as such..

e-document: "Blood on Their Hands: The Story of a Hemophiliac Child in the Jehovah's Witness Cult"
by AndersonsInfo inthis material is so important that i felt compelled to recommend it even though it costs a few dollars.
while you're reading what this sick child was put through at the hands of ignorant religious zealots, i think you will feel the emotional pain and anger i did.
how in the world can the witnesses in this child's world believe that they have love for others, when by their actions, they demonstrated that they don't.

For Etna:
You had mentioned that your son "couldn't stop bleeding" after his tonsils were taken out. I spoke with a family member yesterday that knows of a boy who had a similar problem after having had his tonsils out. The boy was still bleeding the day after the surgery so his parents took him back to see the Doctor that same day. He was bleeding "so bad that they had to burn the wounds closed. However he never had to take blood." How long did your son bleed before he saw the Doctor again?

Can you really bleed to death from having your tonsils taken out? Wow! I didn't know that.
A question: Hasn't there been a change in the Watchtower's stance on accepting blood transfusions? Isn't blood "fractions" considered permissable now, just not whole blood? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the blood "fractions" that are deemed permissable add up to being WHOLE BLOOD? If that is true, then the Watchtower has in effect reversed its stance on blood transfusions - BEFORE: Blood transfusions are wrong. NOW: Blood transfusions are okay.

A Big Thanks to John Williams at Bethel
by mentallyfree31 inabout five years ago, john williams came to philadelphia, ms as a visiting bethel speaker for our special assembly day.
i was well acquainted with him, as he had been to my kh before as a special weekend speaker, and also to a neighboring congregation.
in his afernoon talk, he goes off about social network websites and he made this statement: "brothers, make no mistake about it, myspace is no place for christians".

"Wouldn't you rather live forever playing with lions"
Anything's better than dying.
And, yeah, I need a pet lion. So what's that to you?

Luo bou to,
I've never known of any CO (or any JW) saying what you've described, but if I ever do I'll be the first to slap 'em in the mouth. I'm too old to put up with that sort of BS from ANY human. Who knows, maybe I'll get to see what the inside of a jail looks and feels like before my days are out. BTW, I plan on living 'till I reach at least 100.
Oh, can someone tell me the reason why I'm unable to copy and paste here?

"Snare of the trapper"
Look at how many people have been ensnared by nationalism. Few people have been able to keep from being swept up into nationalism, which only divided people. Some even say, "My country right or wrong."

"...and television is Satan's Eyeball!"
Don't believe that. LOL However, I'm inclined to think that it's the biggest thief since Robin Hood. I seldom allow the TV to swipe my time. I hardly ever watch the boob tube anymore. Most TV programs don't require the watcher to think for themselves. I think they are sometimes useful for keeping grownups pacified, sort of similar to those thing's they call "Mobiles" that twirl above an infant lying in their crib and that keeps a baby pacified. I'd much rather hang out on debate forums. They give me a way to exercise my noodles and also test my beliefs to see if they hold up under scrutiny and criticism.

"Most Jws = Freeloaders."
Sadly, some of them are just that. I knew a few that were. But that's been a long, long time ago. And I once hired one of them to do some re-modeling work, thinking that they would do a better job, and found out that the person was no more conscientious than anyone else out in the world. And the person didn't work cheap either. I didn't mind paying well if the work done was good, but I could have done it a lot better doing it myself. To this day every time I look at the mess-ups it depresses me.
