  Any reputable company will do a recall of faulty products and try to remedy the problem. The organizations approach is to get these books out of the dubbies homes so that they can distribute as many of them as they can. They can't have the dubbies destroying their precious products when they personally decide it is not appropriate to give them to the public with 'incorrect' information in them.

  In the past they would have just made a book obsolete and stop printing them, are they so short of writers these days that they have to revise old books?

  We invite each family head to make an assessment

  of his family’s personal supply of literature.

  This is so important not just anyone in the family can do this, it has to be the family head.

  However, we do nothing and I spend the rest of my life feeling like I have lost out on really caring for my own child.

  Having another child makes no difference in this regard but the children you already have are not adults yet and you still have the opportunity to show them now how much you care for them.

  You are already a very fortunate couple to have two children of your very own, a boy and a girl.

  I wish you all the best in whatever decision you both decide.

  Sadly there is a very young, ill boy at the bottom of this. I would rather see less publicity rather than more.

  It has been illegal in Australia, for years, to not wear a seatbelt. It was made compulsory because it has been proven to save lives. Most people would wear one regardless of whether it was compulsory or not and I doubt many parents would allow their children to ride without seatbelts.

  Diana was not wearing a seatbelt, this one act could possibly have saved her life.

  Enough Fun... We'll E-Talk Again Soon.

  my professional life allowed me a bit of time off plus some breaks here and there to hang out here and have a little fun e-dropping my 2 cents worth more often than necessary.

  however, i'm approaching quite a busy period ahead, so don't miss me too much, okay?.

  look up all my previous posts and reflect on it; letting your ex-jw rut ruin your present life is such a waste.

  Sorry Gustv but I never really took your words as pearls of wisdom so I won't be reflecting on them. However, it was nice having you on the forum and enjoy your professional job.

  Adjustments, it wasn't nice to call BluesBrothers a liar, if you read the whole thread in the link he provided you will see that he had provided a copy of the leter. Sometimes all it takes is a little patience and research to find what you are looking for. Here is a link to the scan

  how strange today's study was!.

  warning examples of apostacy, and saying to all witnesses "watch for bad associations in the cong".

  talk about paranoia and distrust amongst themselves!.

  GB Gerrit Losch and his questionable article in the 7/14 WT study edition!!!

  by ADJUSTMENTS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in this article gerrit talks about his father in the first and last paragraphs, what he says about him and his hope for him goes against all that witnesses have preached about the worldly for the last 100 years... as i recall aren't all the worldly supposed to be destroyed and never have a hope of everlasting life like jw's are, and isn't that the purpose of the preaching work to baptize and warn the worldly of this???

  if not why do jws even preach, or even become jws in the first place if all have a hope of everlasting life, jw and non-jw, are they releasing a little hint at new light to come???

  or am i just missing or over analyzing something?.

  I also look forward to observing from heaven the earthly resurrection and, at last, finding my physical father."

  Gerrit believes that there is no need for him to prove himself faithful and discreet, he has awarded himself the gift of going to heaven.

  I don't understand why you would want to go back either and put yourself in the position of being subjet to the elders whims.

  Why are their decisions made behind closed doors and why can't they be open with you about where you stand instead of leaving you on the edge of you seat? This is not a loving arrangement and the fact that they are doing this to you shows the control the excercise.

  I don't understand why some people here love to get stuck into Mike and Kim. They come across as very happy people who show so much character and work extremely well together as a couple.

  hear the phone conversations we have with those leaving.

  The amount of time you devote to your cause and in helping others is commendable.
