in my early teens (mid 1970's) i read this book, and i always wanted to read it again; especially in the early '90's when things really started to bug me.

Just got a call from an elder

so i faded over a year ago...i told the elders that if i needed them i would call them.

1 year and 3 months later, today, i get a call from an elder who used to be my good friend...he calls and i dont pick up..he leaves a voicemail, saying "hello ____, please call me back at 444-444-4444 whenever you can".

i was like wow, this has to be one of those calls to get inactive ones back to the memorial.

An elder I have not seen or heard from in 9 years came by to see me out of the clear blue sky early one morning last week. I was asleep at the time. He did not leave any literature for me or memorial invite. My sister left me a note that he had come by.

None of the elders have any real concern or interest in me. Probably my name was also on a list of those inactive who they try to get back to the memorial. All a formality to check our names off a list and get credit from Jehovah.

a new book for children on friday?.

a brochure about god's organization on saturday?.

I would not be surprised if some change is announced at this convention. They have to try to do something to keep the bored, weary and apathetic witnesses excited enough to be active in fs and go to meetings.

They need to keep things fresh, of course that does not mean they will.

But as always, any new light is always true and the new light it replaces is always true still, new lite and old lite, truths old and new- are always true-even if they contradict each other.

Not doubt it will end up being just another boring convention instructing jws to shun any who dare to stop attending meetings.

I thought about a new revised Proclaimers book too for Saturday, but I agree, it seems unliikely given the constant cutbacks in the printing budgets and the new nwt is more costly to produce than the regular edition was.

So probably just a brochure with highlights of their 100 year history to give to bible students, but, maybe a video?

I'd like to see a completly revised, updated and expanded Proclaimers book.

Thanks Atlantis!

A sister and I studied that book with her mother! I have those tracts, a brother gave them to me with a number of other older publications years ago.

The Last BOE!

by Atlantis in

this is the last boe we will be able to provide.

our informant or source, was caught, disfellowshipped, and thrown out of bethel.

we knew that sooner or later the watchtower would find him out.

Thank you Atlantis and thank you to your friend.

It is a shame he was caught. I hope he can have a happy life now living with his family member, completely free from the control of the org.
