Free load of Watchtower books (tons!), must pick up
by drew sagan ini've been thinking about getting rid of these books for a long time.
i have bound volumes starting with 1950s up through the early 2000's (not complete, but probably about 35-40 volumes).
i also have about 50-70+ books, including some from the 1950's (let god be true & others).

Circuit Overseer said from platform ,if you have ever done something and not confessed to Elders...going to die!!
by Lady Liberty injust had lunch with a inactive jw friend of mine who is well on her way out.
she said that when the she went to the kingdom hall the week of the circuit overseers visit, he said from the platform, that if anyone had done any wrong doing in the past, no matter how long ago, and had never come forward to tell the elders, then they would not make it into the new system, but would rather die at armegedon!!.
i guess after that talk the elders were inindated and they began privately, and publically reproving, and removing ones!!

Yes I have always heard that....If you don't confess you are blocking Jehovah's spirit.UN forgiveble....I have never understood that.Think they brought something like that up at the DC last summer.What if you did do something along time ago and if it came out it would cause so much damage....you wouldn't want to live any way.....Why can't dead dogs just stay dead?????

Why Would Someone Like me Leave the "Truth"? Part 1
by cantleave inthe title of this series of threads is rhetorical.
i am going to answer it with my own experience.
before i do that, i want to discuss what we are told through the literature and the instruction that is given during meetings, assemblies and conventions, for the reasons why people leave the truth.. the watchtower of 15 november 2008, in the article help them return without delay indicates people leave because of the following:.

Being a JW,they don't let you feel good about your self.Never doing enough,never good enough......I know it has been said,but what else can you say....And then on top of that,you have a hard time leaving it....

Then What?
by tjlibre inafter knowing what i now know about the wt and the gb.
now that i can see the real spirit behind this organization, now that i have convinced my self that i dont need this religion or any other organized group to have a personal relationship with god and his son... i wonder, whats next?
should i stay as part of the conscious class, a less committed jw for the sake of my marriage and emotional stability?

You mentioned the growing number of conscious class.I look around my hall at the different faces and I wonder how many are there.Is it so bad to try and last for the sake of emotional stability?Only you know the answer.Maybe you would feel better with less to do in the meetings.Maybe back off a little.There are more of us then we know.....

i never was a big fan of the show, probably because it was on a meeting night, but it was a very popular show.. i loved hill street blues, taxi, all in the family, the rifleman, even superman!
i wished those shows never stopped!.

by flipper inray franz saw it.
but the normal rank and file jehovah's witness doesn't have a clue as to how many times the predictions of dates allegedly marking the " end of the world " have come and gone without realization or fulfillment.
