They're full of contradictions, which they say they hate -- and which this 11 minute read highlights as the worst of them all: THE GREAT WATCHTOWER CONTRADICTION.

Thanks for those, Possible.

Baptisms are at a dead crawl compared to the old days. How things have changed.

Well, then, they need to increase their birth rate and get members the old fashioned way. Then baptize 'em at 6 (there are no less than 2 yearbook experiences that recount such early ones), then refuse admittance* to any less than 12 years old even when accompanying their parents.

Amen to that, Kurt. Failing human memory and denial are some of the biggest enemies to truth. Iran and others are doing their best to discount the Holocaust. "It never happened". Modern JWs, many of them from ignorance since they came in later, are doing exactly the same. "1975 is just an apostate thing". The old-timers, of course, do nothing to remind them (and themselves) of that horrible period of empty claims. If it weren't for the internet and the Watchtower Library CD, Watchtower would do their darndest to squelch it. Len

Hi Possible,

Thanks for posting that incredible bank of data. While I'm on budgeted bandwidth I can't browse (especially audio and video files) as much as others who have no limits. I can imagine that there may be a few "smoking guns" of audio evidence during the years preceding 1975 -- where district overseers and others went beyond their scripts during their discourses.

I hope if someone finds these they will post some snippet transcripts.

A few days ago I received my Hallmark Card Studio 2011 and it seemed to work well after I configured the 2 sided printing. I printed a few birthday cards (please don't tell the elders) for Judy's friends.

Today, I've spent half the day trying to print her birthday card, created yesterday. Nothing but trouble. It seems to have forgotten how to instruct me to put the card stock back in the printer after side 1, it cobbled a piece of clip art (a rose) amongst a piece of text on the front page, and now it's forgotten completely the last 3 of 4 sides of the card. They're blank although the thumbnails look correct. (I do have a backup on another disk.

So Hallmark is getting this piece of junk back. And I avoided their 2012 version because of bad reviews, I should've known better to order an older version.

So -- what do you use?

Wish I didnt know....Part 2 My Story

by Wishididntknow in

after a terrible break up and being away from the congregation for about 10yrs i started to think about coming back.

i couldnt even watch the news anymore because of the termendous anxiety it would cause.

i felt that there was a target on my back and the big a would surely come before i could get my act together.

OutsmartTheSystem, What a great parallel -- the typical pyramid scheme. Most of it fits and that is scary.

Wishi, welcome to our fine group. It sounds like you're off to a good start. Be patient with yourself. As you expressed yourself, your words took me back to my same feelings and aprehensions -- 34 years ago. It will get better.
