I see that the Watchtower and AWAKE! are going to be a combined offer for March and April.

I wonder if is this is to give the publishers a feeling of normalcy.

35 Years Ago Today - John Lennon - Peace Advocate was Murdered

by flipper in

jw
friends

in this age of violence with the san bernardino and france massacres sometimes it's good to reflect on the wise words of the peace advocates among us who proposed a better solution in bringing a more civil society to our universe.

john lennon, martin luther king jr. - people who stood up for equal rights and world peace and denounced violence and war - no matter how that violence occurs.

please feel free to comment on stories of john lennon on this thread and feel free to post any you tubes of his music that you may have enjoyed through the years.

I was at a Stevie Wonder concert that night. He took a break and came out crying , told the crowd that John Lennon was dead. The man sitting in front of me said "there is no god" and starting getting very angry.

Stevie asked for calm . Carlos Santana and Bob Marley [ minus his dred locks, later we found out he had cancer] came out for the last song. They sang Master Blaster.

What a sad night .

He had a tender heart that came out in his lyrics.

Ray Franz was an Idiot

by vinman in

ray franz who gave us insight into the gb due to a crisis of conscience was an absolute moron, with absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever like all of us have.

i mean, to have a conscience based on some magic man in the sky.. how stupid can you be?

in search of christian freedom?

she was brought up in the cult in the 70's and 80's.

so i can only imagine what kind of indoctrination she deals with.

Umberto,

I call living, 'The Conveyor Belt of Death'

We just all have to get used to it.

I 'm more for feeding an olive tree or a saniovese vine with my bone broth...smile

[p.s. , i loved name of the rose]

Kaik,

There are similar places in Rome. Very interesting.

Are You Raising An Introvert?

by darth frosty in

jw
friends

its not easy being an introvert in an extrovert worldespecially when youre a kid.

it is even more difficult if none of the adults in the kids life recognize that the child is an introvert.

this doesnt happen only when the childs parents are extroverts, but also with introverted parents who have never understood their own introverted nature.. .

I was raised around the time your wife was.

I never had that fear. I still wont watch demo movies. Cant seem to get rid of that old fear.

Funny, my 6th grade teacher had a real skeleton hung in the middle of our class room. we could dress him , even make a fake joint for him. lol.

Studied anatomy.

Also living in a surfing area, that is a common theme in hoodies and such.

A lot of 'Day of The Dead' crafts from Mexico here too. I like their tradition. It looks at death in a different manner.

But , when my mom would see my stuff or my kids. It did really upset and confused her.

She has lost many family members and it reminds her of death and I think mostly loss of loved ones.

Now I have put some of my art work away, as it reminds me of loss too.

I would love a skeleton hanging around to help relearn some things I have forgotten. Our structure is fascinating

back in the day, when the co came to the congregation, it was quite stressful for the elders and often, the rank and file.

.

is it as big a deal as it used to be?.

I posted to much info. so deleted some

I will just say they make the COBE sick with nerves.

They are pushing Sunday field service

They are most assuredly noticing the lack of Brothers reaching out

What were you favorite book in the organization? I know what you're thinking...LOL!

by BashfulAshG in

what were *your favorite *books in the organization?.

out of all of those books, i liked "mankind's search for god.

" however, it appears to me that this book is incredibly obscure and no one recalls studying it during the old book study format.

As a kid I loved the AID book. My non-JW friend had a set of Encyclopedia Britannica. I really wanted a set . Was a dictionary nerd too.

So the AID book was something that passed a lot time; something similar and approved.

I still have two copies for sentimental reasons.

As an adult, I never read any JW book through . I would get lost in my sort of ADD world. They were to hard to hard to follow and just made me feel worthless/unworthy. So I just went somewhere else.

Being made to study that horrid not/Paradise book just gave me bloody nightmares. But that's another topic.
