a jw i know i very fond of telling people that he read apostate stuff in the early 80's and that when he later came into the turth it was proved to him that it was all lies ( the apostate info that is).
i've always wondered what it was he read, and how it could have been refuted by the dubs?.
and no, i've got no way of asking him, not without landing myself in hot water.
There were books like "Thirty Years A Watchtower Slave" and some books by Edmond Gruss I guess.

guess bob dylan didn't think so.. apparently, he was "caught" strolling in the city and curious cops wanted to know why he was walking around.. cops then escorted him to his hotel where he had friends who vouched for him.. http://www.abcnews.go.com/us/wirestory?id=8332031.
so my question is....is it illegal to walk on the street without identification?.
if you are without id what are the usual consequences?.
I guess the potential for abuse is there. Hope it won't develop into a Police state.

when my dad died on november 9th none of my jw family turned to comfort my mother, no phone calls no cards no words of comfort.
its over a month now and still they havent made any contact.
it doesnt really matter since they are all jws on my moms side but dads side of the family are catholic so they were all there to give the strength needed to cope.
Yes the org seems to be quite a cold place. They put so much emphasis on meeting attendance,field service,commenting at the meetings etc, but what about stuff like love,affection,kindness etc?

i get sick to death of people denigrating mother teresa, saying that she was selfish and petty-minded.. i am especially fed up with those who say that her saintliness was purely an illusion created by her possessing minimal consciousness, like that of a small child or dog, and as such was further away from god than the average criminal.. i find this sort of talk utterly repulsive.
it is simply not right to say such horrible things about someone who was so sweet and gentle and who dedicated her whole life to helping others.. .
there!.
Her stance on birth control angered many.

as ministers of the good news, we are known publicly as jehovah's witnesses.
They seem to be scared of legal issues.

i was still a kid and living at home at the time, and so that must have been well over 30 years ago, that i heard ron drage (now a senior member of the uk bethel) say "if you are waiting at the bus stop it, is better to be 10 minutes early rather than miss it".
what he was referring to of course was the then then 1975 issue; in other words armageddon has arrived yet but it just round the corner and we are a little early for it.. i don't know what brought this to my mind the other day but i got to thinking, surely if you are waiting for a bus and you get there 10 minutes early and it doesn't then turn up, how long do you wait?
10 minutes, 15 minutes, half an hour, an hour, two hours?
The bus was first expected in 1914, than in 1915,1918,1925 and 1975. Also the bus was supposed to come before the generation of 1914 passed away and before the 20th century ended. So far all these timetables have been discarded or edited.

as most people here know the combined book study allows an evening for "family worship".. the co visits march - august 2009 is really focussing on this.
if a jdub family head doesn't do a full evening of family worship and uses this time to do recreational activities he is as guilty as isrealite who didn't use the sabbath for worship.
the result, will of course be same as the unfaithful isrealite, death!!!!!!!!!
I wonder whether the GB are regretting dropping the book study meeting.
