When a new official video was released about the history of wts, the convention speaker told us the remarkable words: “Why a new video when we already have the Proclamers book? Because jw’s are not readers of thick books, that’s why.”.

Library now cleared out
by UnshackleTheChains inwell, it looks like the axe has finally fallen on our kh library.
during a deep clean of the local kh, a brother suddenly informed everyone 'whikst cleaning' that all the old books including bound volumes of the watchtower etc was to be chucked in the skip.. from what i heard, some were taken aback by this and quite annoyed that no announcement was made; that no one was given the choice of taking some of these books home to keep.
i mean the entire collection of studies in the scriptures and others that go back an entire century.

With this in mind I took the rare items (also some donated by my grandmother) out of the KH library. It was in 2008 already when the dumbhead idiot of a PO hold a tirade against older wts books in his talk. I knew enough to act wisely.

A friend of my, PhD new religions, did meet a WT representative, son of a gb member, approx 1996, to discuss about JW demographics and statics. I can tell you, the boys now in Warwick are highly interested in this matter and use secular analyses.

My JW-Related Musical Experiences
by Roger Kirkpatrick inlooking back over my life, the only thing that i can say i truly enjoyed as a jw was meeting and becoming friends with a number of jws who were fine musicians and had experienced various measures of success in what used to be called the "music business.
tommy reynolds, from the vocal group hamilton, joe frank & reynolds ("don't pull your love out on me, baby" and "baby, baby, fallin' in love, i'm fallin' in love again") recruited me to play drums in his dallas circuit assembly orchestra in the 1970s.

Elders and MS are under a lot of pressure to pioneer. You need to have a good reason to go against it. In the month of the CO visit it is a must.
So those pioneer numbers are going up and not because of free choise.
