It would occur to me that everything that might be found in most of those old books would be old light by now. I guess some folks just like to have that connection with the past history of the wts.

A JC looming on the horizon?
by Honesty init's a great idea.... if you are not a jw:.
you can now have your very own business selling watchtower books.. watchtower books franchise offers jehovah's witnesses the opportunity to open their own businesses by selling books they are familiar with:.

Diary of a thinking to return ex-Jw
by reniaa ini thought long and hard about posting this but the mis-information on this site finally persuaded me, i already accept many may not accept what i say on face value and get their appologist pens ready for making sure no pro-witness propaganda slips through the net on this site but here goes....... i've been on this forum for a few months my first post was about how i was thinking of returning to jw's and at my sisters recommendation to look at this site for both sides of the story before taking that step.. i faded from jw's 10/11 years ago now i left my hubby at the time divorced him to going on to have more relationships and kids, i was definately given the impression after asking on this site and with what i read that if i tried to return i might face df or at least a jc but definately a couple of elders questioning me over what i've been upto these last few years - none of these have happened.
i talked with an old jw friend (yes i do have then and she never shunned me quite happily accepted an offer of coffee from me and my asking for a chat) i told her i was interested in going back and was very frank about what i done in the last 10 years but not sure how returning was done now, she quite happily said she go ask for me to find out.. result!
she came back this week and said "all i had to do was goto meetings again" and an offer of a study was there for me if i wanted it to explore the open doubts that i had expressed i now had.. not quite the fire and brimstone welcome this site led me to believe would happen.. i will keep you posted with further updates if i feel the need to put them in future.. .

Hmmm.......Gee Reniaa, that last remark about myself really hurt! NASTY am I?? I think not. Now that you've gotten yourself backed up on your heals you find it necessary to take cheap shots at ME? Cmon on now give it a rest. It does seem funny how all of a sudden your "sister" shows up on here after a week of this diatribe of yours.
I never called you a troll, I just used the facts of your life that you posted to show you, like the others here, that your lot in life was a result of your very own choices in life. You no doubt knew at the onset of your joining here that JWD is what it is, thousands of people that make thier own choices in life. How can you dispute any one of us that has spent over 40 years or more of our lives as jw's only to find that the truth has been a sham?
Move On Reniaa................
Sirona.......Neither am I df'd or da'd. I just don't find it all that necessary to lay out my ENTIRE personal life for all to know. Perhaps Reniaa should have used some discretion in what she told US. Some things are just that ....PERSONAL. Take care Sirona

And the SAGA continues.........You've been carrying-on now for a week on this thread. You've beaten it to death and the only thing that's been accomplished is a MOOT POINT!!!
Go back if you must, it's what you want, but please don't continue to debate this matter through analogies or whatever it is that you feel you need to do in order to make those of us feel that you are RIGHT!
You've made your bed, in more ways than one and now you must make it back up. Just get on with it and make your choice. You have many, as all of us do. I made mine and I just faded off into the sunset yelling Yippie Yi Yo Ki A.

Yes, I do.... I have had my suspicions for a few months now and I have some evidence to the fact. I haven't as yet made the confrontation but I intend to do so Friday. I hope to catch the MOUSE that keeps leaving droppings around.
More later.

Nobody is talking about the Generation change!!
by hamsterbait inevery time i have raised the noolite on this, it is met with blank looks and no comment.. on the phone it has been met with silence while they wait to see why i am talking about it.. has anybody else noticed this - it is a trend that less and less witlesses discuss doctrines and teachings when socializing.. could it be that they don't want to acknowledge a creeping disernment that they have been strung along, and so the gibbering buddy can no more be trusted on this claim than all the other failures, or is it that they are afraid of being called apostos?.
one elderly sister (90) who really thought she would never die, and is now, when i said i was atonished at the recent changes in 1935 annointed, generation and now no book group, just waited at the other end of the phone..
"so does this mean you think it is all rubbish?

It's been my observation over the years that the only ones who EVER understood or recognized New Lite when it came out were the ones that were Old when I was in my 20's and 30's. Thesee folks would be either in thier 80's or long gone by now.
The younger jw's do not understand the deep things of the wts. They have been conditioned now to accept whatever the GB hands down. The continual extending of the BIG "A" is just another sign of the times to them, god continuing to show and EXTEND MERCY to the world.
They are yet to see the fall of babylon the Great and the acts of the Wild Beast towards it. The wts has alot more explaining to do in the future, it's a sticky mess that they have gotten themselves into. 1975 came and went, they denied responsibilty for the promoting of it. The annointed now, the generation change, younger of the annointed, the nephinem class that aids the annointed, they constantly have to make explanations to cover the publishing company's ASSets.

Do you wash your hands after using the restroom?
by John Doe ini've noticed a disturbing trend where 90% of guys don't wash their hands after using the restroom, and probably 25% don't even after number two'ing.
encouragingly, about 80% of the guys in law school do wash their hands.
(i know it's weird, but i count) .

I wash my hands before I use the public restroom and I wash them afterwards. I use the paper towel to grab the door handle and I take the paper towel with me and throw it away FAST! I never use the blow dryers in the rest rooms as they are breeding grounds for bacteria of all sorts.

Which is worse, Adam's sin, or God's reaction to his sin?
by Dirty Rat inwhen you look at all the pain and suffering in this world, and then wonder why god decided that mankind should pay for one man's sin, with interest on top of that, it's revolting.. no way can the added pain and suffering of billions of people equal the fault that adam did.. .
ps: this is jh .

My thoughts all along on this subject have been this: When Adam sinned....ZAP>>>POOF>>>GONE!!! Satan>>>ZAP>>>POOF>>>>GONE!! No need to prove anything to the other myriads of on-looking angels. He proved his power, let's move on and re-create humans.
