  JW boyfriend, the sequel

  by SEL in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  almost a year ago i made a few posts here about how much effort i ought to put into getting a man i loved considerably out of the wt.

  by that point i had already put in a lot of effort and accumulated a nice collection of books on the wt, on cults, on bible chronology.

  then i finally gave up and decided to leave.. we kept in pretty regular touch until last fall, when i moved a neat twelve time zones away.

  1960's -1990's japan had a huge increase in publishers sometimes 10,000 a year!

  this peaked in 1998...since then publisher numbers for unknown reasons dropped dramatically!!!!.

  1998- pubs.

  They are working hard with no progress for over 10 years......in the 1970's - 1990's publishers would rise by 10,000 or more a year.

  Do you think the Tsunami will be used as a "sign" and bring in more emotionally destressed people?

  I agree Moshe they want a push-over.....but I'm suprised how much pressure was put on a man who was clearly emotionally fragile, by all THREE, Rutherford, Franz and Knorr......where is the love.

  Thanks Possible-san......hard to imagine "Apostates" in Japan...the ones I met at the International Convention were like Samurai/Kamakazi Witnesses! Very, very dedicated and diciplined.

  Music That Moves You

  by Joe Grundy in

  2. experiences

  i love music - of many different genres and from different times.. .

  i love to play guitar, not to any great standard and purely for my own pleasure, and there are many pieces that really move me.

  'don't think twice' by bob dylan from my early teens is one that has stayed with me for 40 years.. .

  Let's get this PERFECTION thing out into the open

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  perfection implies two things: a purpose and a tool for the purpose.. the fork, by itself, is neither perfect nor imperfect.. a fork is perfect for eating peas but imperfect for eating soup.

  the purpose and the tool must match.. people are not, of themselves, imperfect.

  they are suited for or not suited for particular purposes.. .

  Just Seen this Rutherford Quote on Facebook

  by cantleave in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  quote from: wt 09/15/41 p. 287. in the kingdom the 'great multitude' will look to the lord to guide as to selecting each a mate for himself.

  why, then, should a man who has the prospect before him of being of the great multitude now tie himself up to a stack of bones and a hank of hair?.

  What's the difference?

  by Chariklo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  can anyone explain to me the difference between the wt's doctrine of "new light!

  and the catholic church's idea of continuous revelation of the holy spirit?.

  leaving aside for the moment any questions of the spirit as god's active force, or the holy spirit as third person of the trinity, i mean.

  I see no difference at all.....they try to cover themselves by saying their imperfect yet "speak for Jehovah."

  Tokyo sarin subway attacks took place in 1995 by brianwashed members of the Aum Shinryko Cult to begin World War 3 and Armagedon.....I think the publicity and shock of this incident had a negative effect on the Witness message.
