Jesus tells kiddies not to play wih penis' or vulvas?

by lovelylil in

on the thread about the pdf for the 2003 listening to the great teacher book, i posted about the arguement my hubby and i had over this book when it first came out.

i threw out the 2 copies my kids had and then regretted it because i think this book is very telling about the wt organization and the issue of pedophiles and child molestation.

i wanted to address what happened here too for discussion.. i am not good at copying over texts so perhaps someone else can post here pages 59-60 in this book where sexual content is explained in vivid detail using the terms penis and vulva.

Honey can I take your vulva out for a drive tonight? (Wink wink nudge nudge).

And not only does playing with your pee pee make the demons happy but it also leads to homosexuality! (See "Your Youth- Getting the Best Out of it"). Oh what a loving provision from Jehovah!

Pizza, A Party and A Moonlight Ride
Author Unknown

Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life it was the right side of town.

She unpacked her things with such great ease
As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.

How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting, she'd have friends soon.

There'd be sleep-overs, and parties, she was so happy.
It's just the way she wanted her life to be.

On the first day of school, everything went great,
She made new friends and even got a date!

She thought "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,
Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"

To be known in this school you had to have a clout
And dating this guy would sure help her out.

There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date.

"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference, what's there to lose?"

Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned but said "All right."

Excited, she got ready for the big event,
But as she rushed around like she had no sense.

She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?

Well, the pizza was good, and the party was great,
But the moonlight ride would have to wait.

For Jeff was half drunk by this time,
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.

Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.

Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point,
But only after he'd smoked another joint.

They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.

They finally made it to the point at last,
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.

A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all,
(And by a pass, I don't mean playing football).

"Perhaps my parents were right... maybe I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."

With all of her might, she pushed Jeff away.
"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."

Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas,
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.

As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.

She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just got faster as they neared the town.

"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."

Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, please help us! We're going to crash!"

She doesn't remember the force of impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden went black.

She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard "Call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!"

Voices she heard... a few words at best,
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.

Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,
And if the people in the other car were alive.

She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad,
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."

These voices echoed inside her head
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.

They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do,
But it looks as if we'll lose you, too."

"But the people in the other car!?" Jenny cried.
"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."

Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done.
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."

"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."

"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.

Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there, she never agreed.

But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes
And a few moments later Jenny died.

A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best
To bid that girl, her one last request?"

She looked at the man with eyes so sad,
"Because the people in the other car were her Mom and Dad."

This story is sad and unpleasant, but true,
So young people take heed, it could have been you.

(Man you should have heard the dubs go on about how great this poem was! One even related how so-and-so in their family would still be alive if only they'd listened to such counsel!)

Recent experiences with my Witness family

by JimmyPage in

my dad was not raised a witness and neither was his brother.

his brother has always been "wordly".

dad has been in "the truth" for decades now.

My dad was not raised a witness and neither was his brother. His brother has always been "wordly". Dad has been in "the truth" for decades now. Recently his health has been bad. I came up to see him as did my brother and a couple of Witnesses Dad has known for years.

My parents were talking to the Witness friends who came to see them about how their fleshly family were never there in times of need, only the Witnesses. Well I had e-mailed Dad's brother about Dad's health. He lives a long ways away and I know he cares very much. I am glad I e-mailed him because he called Dad out of concern.

And when my parents came home their lawn was mowed for them. Was it their Witness friends? No- it was my mom's sister's husband- a worldly guy.

Honestly, if you just give people half a chance you'll be surprised.

My other experience: my wife was talking about a lady she works with. My wife is a witness and the coworker is not. My wife said how messed up worldly people are because this person's live-in boyfriend was cheating on her.

I quickly pointed out that there has been infidelity in every one of my wife's siblings' marriages. And they are all Witnesses.

People only see what they want to see.

Oompa don't you know they are doing this to get ready for The End? I would tell all of you apostates to repent but you have undoubtedly committed the unforgivable sin. Outside are the dogs and the gnashing of the teeth and the wailing etc etc!

when i first got assigned to the circuit work, the branch sent me far away to a rural circuit, they usually do that with the new c.o.'s.

i had 17 congregations, some of them were only 12 publishers.

no sound system, no stage, meetings in a persons home with no ac.

JimmyPage

Flipper that's one thing I appreciate about you. Most people on here post but you take it a step further and make yourself available to help in real life. A lot of people who come to this board and learn the truth about "the truth" need the comfort of a support system.

'68 Truth book, '89 WT?

by JimmyPage in

can anyone help me get my hands on a '68 truth book so i can compare it with the '81 version?

also can anyone help me get an '89 wt that says the preaching work would be finished by the end of the century so that i can compare it with the bound volume?

that one's a tall order i know.

JimmyPage

Thank you for the Truth book scan, BluesBrother! When I went to compare it to my Truth book, it was the same- because I have a '68 version (which I "borrowed" from the Hall). I mistakenly thought I had an '81 version. Guess I need to get my hands on the updated version for comparative purposes. That should be relatively easy to achieve.

Dagney what I was looking for in the original Truth book were quotes, especially from a book with "1975" and "famine" (if I recall right) in the title that were removed from the '81 version. I first learned of this from a video on youtube. ***If anyone's willing to part with a '68 version I'm willing to buy it.*** Having it in hand is more convincing than scans. But I absolutely appreciate the scans, Atlantis! Fantastic job as always.

By the way, did the change in the bound volume come AFTER the year 2000?
