  The Climax revelation book probably takes the cake in recent history...but some of the early Russell/Rutherford stuff is hilariously looney. I remember Awake mags that had such ridiculous or obnoxious covers I refused to hawk them...and some of the articles were downright lame.

  CO'S "encouraging" letter to circuit

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the point of the letter was how many are feeling disappointed these days.. no circuit assembly, convention, how we can't fellowship at the k.h.

  disappointed we might have had a love one die, etc etc.

  he then goes on to write about how disappointed jehovah must have felt when his first human creation rebelled.

  Did they use to applaud after reinstatement after being Disfellowshipped, but then it stopped?

  by ThomasCovenant in

  i don't remember disfellowshippings happening very often and announcements about being re instated but i think i remember that we used to clap hands if someone came back after being disfellowshipped.

  but then i think clapping wasn't allowed.

  am i correct in my recollections?.

  Thunderous Applause Around The Stadium

  by Number 6 in

  2. experiences

  growing up in the 70's and 80's in the jw religion who remembers the massive stadium gigs the watchtower used to hold?.

  we used to denounce false religion in the starkest of terms.

  we were right and by god we were letting anyone who listened know it.

  The thrill of the roaring stadium crowd....that feeling of being special. God's chosen group. Waiting for the next snippet of new light....new books.... Feeling so blessed in that huge crowd of believers with the miserable old world outside. And you'd go home and be on a high for days...then gradually it would wear off and back to the grind. The whole scenario obviously enhanced the United Brotherhood feeling.... I have no.idea what it's like nowadays .... But from what I gather here it's lame beyond belief.

  Gorby has to admit

  for the first time in my life, i have to admit that the world is rapidly deteriorating.

  first i saw a decline in democracy worldwide.

  elections were a tough battle every time, unfair too.

  I do like halfbanana's comment about narcissists in rule caring for nothing but their personal standing. We certainly have been getting a bellyful of that scenario in the USA. A lot of the societal issues here stem from that leadership and the dissidence it foments. Where an utter lack of dignity and respect for ones fellow man is flouted by those in power, it has a domino effect and you see people who might have in the past kept their hatred at bay now feeling empowered to display all sorts of bad behaviors.
