No matter what this women does it seems you will find fault if it was not done according to your time table sbf . Remember the Franz family left her in charge of their legacy not you. Perhaps they wanted to repay her for emotional support, physical support, friendship, or financial kindness she may have extended to them.
Bottom line she kept her word and published it. Knock it off .
BTW Nowhere is the trinity ever mentioned in the introduction. Just because that may have been a personal belief of the international's author has no bearing on what he wrote ( just like the authors political views)

What many do not realize is the publishing company may well have wanted new material to be included in the book. Why you ask ? It has to do with copyright issues. Copyrights expire after a certain amount of time. However if there is new additional content in an addition it can extend the copyright.

i haven't stopped laughing since i heard this.

a pimo in my last congregation told me that an elder has been removed from his elder position.

apparently he grabbed another elder by the throat, put him up against a wall in the back room and punched him in on the nose... during an elders meeting on thursday evening after the meeting.. the congregation were running round like headless chickens wondering what to do?

I think ceders owes a huge apology to Ms Dykstra. He maligned her character. I can’t believe how she was characterized on the above reddit.

Who deserves the title of king of apostasy ?

Apostates do not need a king. It is enough that we now can think for ourselves. I am no longer afraid to question any man. I can pick and choose what is my own truth now.

Is Trump Doing Better Than You Thought As President!

i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.

What does Obama have to do with trump? The question was how do we evaluate trump. He has been a miserable failure as far as I am concerned. Obama's policies where not great , I personally did not like them. Trump however, has not only distasteful policies, he is making a mockery of the office of President. I would have preferred a conservative who is honorable ie.John McCain or Kasich.

No he is less presidential than any president in the history of the country. He is blowhard. He has made many diplomatic faux pas. As well as a lack luster legislative agends.

greetings, old timers (in particular):.

of course, we don't share all views in common.

unless i'm mistaken, however, we older, former jws were decisive about what our "bible-trained consciences" would allow -- or not.

Lol I remember as a young child being asked to give up many of the toys my mom new aunt gave me. I am upset to this day lol. It was not even my parents who made me give them up. It was a nosy elderette and her daughter who made the fuss. (The daughter was babysitting while my mom was visiting my dad in the hospital) boy I miss my original go Joe action figure and my evil kneival motorcycle lol.
