The Proclaimer's book is a history book on the Watchtower Society, Correct? I am not certain, but I think it is. Perhaps Yoyomama can correct me if it isn't. But for my sake, I will assume it is the most recent history book on Jehovah's Witnesses.

Yoyomama, could you please quote me where they admit to making mistakes. I have never read that book, but I wouldn't mind knowing if they ever owned up to their shortcomings. The last I knew they were still blaming the individual witnesses for their predictions about 1975 and so on. But if the Proclaimer's book sets the record strait, that would go a long way to repairing the rift that exists between them and me.

It is very hard to be totally objective when writing one's own history. One usually omits anything that might not look too good to other people. For a history book to be written by the Society for the Society may not be totally believable to an outsider. It would have much more credit to outsiders if it was written independantly, by someone who has nothing to loose one way or the other. Maybe this is what AlanF is speaking about. For all I know he might have insiders who report events to him. Like you, I doubt it. However, all Watchtower articles today seem to be written anonymously, for whatever reason. In my opinion, I see no harm in taking credit for one's own Bible research.

Hopefully Yoyomama, you will grant me what I am looking for. And that is a reference where the Watchtower Society owns up to their shortcomings. Have a good day, and peace to you.

Too cute! My daughter gets to play with crayons, but only at the kitchen table. She has tried to go elsewhere with them, and looks all innocent like, "how did these get here?" Oh well, kids are kids.

Nowaytess,
All you need to do is go here.
http://www.circuitleasing.com/
Go to the Free Key Chain link, and fill out the form. You will get it in about two months. My suggestion is don't use it in you car, you may need medical help one of these days. Better safe than sorry, in my opinion.

The teddy bear was just a prop, because she kept opening her legs and we didn't want to see her underware in our picture. However her new grandparents and great-grandparents have spoiled her with many gifts, including teddy bears. I am glad you liked it.

Good news!

by mindfield in

hi there... as you probably knew (not), i'm no longer a publisher.

however, my brother, even though he never was, and only 14 years old, stills clings to the borg.

or so i thought.. you see, only recently we went to a restaurant, and while me, my brother and 13 year old cousin were eating some good grub, our discussions fell upon *gasp* the jw's.

Hey give them time. By the time they are 20, I bet they will be long gone from the cult. That is some great news! All of you will become part of the 80% that barely ever go or are gone alltogether.

i was hanging around my mom's house yesterday, and i just happened to leaf through the january 8th afake!

magazine, about the wtc disaster.. no doubt that perhaps many of the sept. 11 experiences are real, but what i mostly read were these shameless advertisements for the watchtower complex in downtown brooklyn!!

i was appalled!!

jayhawk1

I am not surprised. The Society is always looking for a tragedy to turn into a join our cult article.
