have some time thinking about my recent and less recent personal history because of the summer holiday.. the 90's crossed my mind.
the years i became pimo.
a friend, a room mate during the 1993 moscow international convention, went to university.
Vanderhoven;
This was a pivotal moment in JW history.
Have been raised in 'it'...having that 1914 theology pounded in your head from childhood & having it swept from under you.
I never really recovered.
In the years between 1995 to 2007 I tried to adapt to this generation.
Became fully "Awake!" that the 'truth' was a lie in Oct 2007.

And I have that book,,one of the first copies released.
In pristine condition. Some pages even still smell new.
You'll have to tear that book from my cold dead hands!!!!
the main article on jw.org is about the succesfull olympic games 2024 in paris.. many withness watch all the sport episodes of the games, but jw.org comes with a sour story about the games and not reaching real peace.. again jw.org is on the wrong side of history a d doesn't feel the public anx jw opinion.
the closing remarks of the ioc president bach, thaf the games will not reach peace but plant peace in the hart of people was a strong message.. the organization and message of the games is all that jw.org wants to, but can't.. very sad and narrow minded, as ever.
gorby.
This is why the Borgs black & white us vs. them mentality no longer holds up to scrutiny.
You see non-witness doing the exact same humane things that the Borg claims they do.
reading about jw.org rules changes these days gives me a sad observation.. everything what "is" today, can be gone tomorrow.. that makes it all worthless.
you were an elder, searching for evidence, and proof to df a person.
because he or she was not humble enough.
Hoser;
I do believe that eldubs enjoy making people lives miserable,,,being sucked up to & the power it gives them
sea breeze: @nicolau,i stated my case rather succiently, which you failed to address.
if you have a better solution to the problem of evil than what jesus offers, then why don't you present that in a new topic?.
pathetic diversion.
God wont lift a finger to help you?
Try telling this to JWs in Malawi in the 1960s & 1970s & convince them otherwise.

WingCommander,,,yes the Borg has claimed another victim.
a 1st cousin(a) of mine just called me about one of my great aunts(b) getting reinstated.
(b) has been disfellowship for as long as i can remember.
(a) has always stood on the fence with his beliefs.
It can be an uphill battle trying to deprogram.
Mind control is a terrible thing.
republicans want to make a law that forbids ‘uncontested divorce”.
they based this on this scripture.. matthew 19. is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”.
4 “haven’t you read,” jesus replied, “that at the beginning the creator ‘made them male and female,’and said, ‘for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’ so they are no longer two, but one flesh.
1st century advice on modern day marriage, life or politics is like trying to use scotch tape & elmers glue,,,on a boat.
ok i just want to officially set the record straight about the report of csa in new zealand.
i have a pimo relative who lives in nz.
as far as public awareness, with regard to the jws, it was basically a big nothing burger.
What we need is a Royal Commission in the U.S. .
