  What's crap about Nebraska Nada's quote? It makes it clear that the flag was probably already there and it was neither removed nor put up.

  1960-1969 yearbooks?

  by pirata in

  2. bible

  does anyone know if the 1960-1969 yearbooks are available in any form?.

  the watchtower library cd-rom only goes back to 1970 (and even then, no worldwide report that i could find).. research applications released up to 1959.. but can't seem to find 1960-1969 anywhere....

  A belated thanks for transcribing and posting this talk Leolaia! I am going to enjoy going through this transcript. A lot of stuff I never knew before.

  I found a (currently) working link here for anyone who's interested in hearing it:

  possible-san,

  Thanks for posting the article link! I remember in the Watchtower that showed the Advertise! speech, they cut out the flags. It's nice to see they didn't do the same thing in the video.

  Do you know where more information can be found on Junzo Akashi?

  We should also show respect
  to those whose religious beliefs differ
  from ours.

  They forgot the footnote:

  * This only applies to those ho have never been one of Jehovah's Witnesses. If you are one of Jehovah's Witnesses and decided to change your beleifs, then you will be shown "tough love" (ie. you will be shunned until you change your beliefs back to what Jehovah's Witnesses happen to be teaching at the moment).

  i've lurked on this forum since about the end of '10.

  my first "apostate experience" began @ age 14. first a little backround.. i was baptised at 10, and did so mostly out of:.

  ) pressure from my mom to get baptised so that i would be safe from armaggedon(she was probably pressured from elders),.

  i thought this would be easier to examine if written down:.

  god's kingdom will soon come.

  so we know that god's kingdom will soon come.. .

  @Lore, close.

  Bob has to be anointed (thus baptized) as a Jehovah's Witness on or before 1914 to count as part of the overlapping generation.

  The JWs here do the exact same thing. EVERY freaking Thanksgiving weekend -- like clockwork -- they have a Circuit Assembly. It ruins the entire holiday for working JWs.

  I always liked it when conventions came on a stat holiday because you didn't have to ask for time off work and explain why you were asking for time off. Yes, I had the fear of man thing going on.
