  Last I heard we were a whisper away from the end. Now we are seconds away??? Does that make the end closer than a whisper or farther?

  My heart skipped a couple of beats when I read through the program and realized I will be out enjoying life (i.e. riding my bike, swimming, fishing)instead of sitting on my ass for days listening to that mindless crap and eating bagged lunches and starchy dinners. Hmmm.....I wonder who will really have a healthier heart?

  When exactly did the Bible Students fixate on the Jehovah name?

  by james_woods in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i thought i would start a thread on this in conjunction with the other one on the pronunciation and use of the "jehovah" name.. my premise is that the very early russellites, while being aware of the "jehovah" name, were not obsessed by it as are modern jws.. could some student of jw history again enlighten us (for the record) of how and when this "jehovah fixation" occurred in this religion?.

  Not only did Rutherford want to distinguish himself from other Bible Study groups, but he wanted to distinguish himself from Russell.

  I just finished 30 years a Watchtower Slave - Schnell spends some time on this very subject.

  Crush any sign of adolescent happiness. It's better on the long run, they'll struggle less when we crush their happiness as adults

  hello all, i've just discovered this site and i cant begin to describe how happy i am to have come across it.

  i stumbled across this site purely by accident...seriously i was looking at arkham city walkthoughs and a few jumps later i end up here.

  i though it was a legit society page at first and thought 'what the hell, this will be good for a laugh', but after reading a few posts well...i couldnt stop reading.

  Corpusdei...Well done! I loved reading your comments. The original article has me scratching my head though. Wow! Just Wow! Talk about these poor JW teenagers being on the back of a turnip truck.

  i was considered "exemplary" but i defintely liked my drinking with my other fellow examples.. porn was never a terrible thing to me.

  i looked.. throwing in a few extra hours and placements worked pretty well for me too..

  This was read by a circuit overseer at my hall when I was still a witness. That was over 6 years ago. But I remember this vividly - especially the one that confused mall and hall (How stupid do they think we are?)
