while an earlier version was made available privately the time has come to 'progress'.. conscious class and ex both strongly adhere to not keeping things 'hidden' in regards to wts publications, talks and documents which are circulated in order to maintain it's position.. another wonderful poster (who has yet to give me permission to name) has 'reduced' and 'bookmarked' the first full copy link i was given by our 'winner'.. in this newest and final 'clean' copy link you find two other additions besides the reduction/bookmarking..... the brother who uploaded the entire book wishes all to have a copy that includes both boe ltrs (pre-ks ltr and spiral binding ltr).
also another development has occurred.... the brother responsible for this book being brought into light and put forth for public consumption and discussion has requested i post this letter explaining to 'us' (jwn posters/global audience) and 'them' (wts of penn & ny).. i ask you give attention to his words/ experiences as he is representative of a newly emerging demographic within the conscious class.
so without further ado i give you his link and the 'stage' if you will to 'brother johnson'....... [link removed - contact ynot for further info - lady lee].
Well done Brother Johnson. You are a credit to your god, your congregation, to your fellow man. It was disgraceful what the GB put in their talk about long-serving brothers being murmurers. I really hope the folks at Bethel read this one, and it brings them to their senses too.
Let's all keep this post bubbling away at the top of the forum. It's so important, and so heartfelt.

my wife and i have not even been df'd for a week and an old friend on fb (an inactive jw who has active jw friends who used to be friends of mine) says there's a rumor going around that i'm gay.
wow.
really jws?
Great idea Stonewall. Never thought of that one. The Dubs are so stupid, next thing you'd hear is 'did you see what that gay brother wrote in the local paper?'
Feckin morons.
for me, i would go back to the day when charles taze russell snuffed it.
i'd wait for judge rutherford to turn up at the ibsa headquarters, then run him over with a steamroller, in true buster keaton styleee!.

Lol. That is so true. It'll be 'just around the corner'. 'Not long to go now, brothers!'

Yep, I'd definitely go back to Eden to see Eve.
'Hey Eve, wanna see a talking snake?'
I wouldn't want to go back to relive the best bits of my life. I'd want to be able to use the time machine for longer than 10 minutes.
1,000 years into the future. Now there's a thought. Like HG Wells' Time Machine. The Morlocks living underground by day, coming out at night to hunt unsuspecting Dubs in their paradise earth.
my bf and i are thinking on getting married.
i posted a foum early this week on whether or not i should get baptized.
i decided not to.. now even though he says he "doesn't care" he got upset last night when i mentioned the subject and how confused i was.
Your BF seems to be very self-centred right now. Is he always like this? Don't ever lose sight of the fact that he really shouldn't have gotten in with you if he's a good JW boy. Whenever he dumps on you and makes you feel like crap, remind him of that. You've done nothing wrong. Don't let him try and make his situation your fault. I know you must love him, but try and detatch yourself from the situation for a while and think long and hard about what he's done, and HOW he's done it.
I don't want to criticize him as you obviously saw a lot of good in him in the first place, and you're in love. But this guy needs to grow a pair of balls. I think you just need to be the person to push him to GROW them. If you manage to get him to decide to stick by his doubts, and risk ostracism by his family and friends, then it will make you both closer.
You need to dig your heels in. Remind him that the Org is dictating his life, and what's he gonna do about it!
Good luck x

What's the old phrase....?.... 'if a butterfly farts in Tokyo, then you get a niffy hurricane in Florida'? .... either that or darth's armageddon.
i'm new to the forum, though i had been a lurker for quite some time now.
i studied w/ the witnesses for a number of years, to be specific, for 10 years (since i was a child) but never actually became one; though, i was counted as one in the yearbooks as a "publisher.
" so, as far as i got was as an unbaptized publisher.
Welcome, Sobrino! Glad you dodged the bullet of baptism!

Brother Dan,
I think what you meant to say was you would go back 30 years and try and sell spielberg a great idea for a new film trilogy...?
a couple of posts by hamsterbait motivated me to post this.. the elimination of the book study: it was the only place where those who were shy, or anxious, about commenting would comment.
it was small, intimate and we had a lot of fun.
remember the "f" word?
We used to have 3 or 4 come to the Book Study that simply would not come to the kingdumb hall. Some folks with a more fragile nature take a long time to progress from attending the book study to regular meetings. A step backward by the GB in my opinion.
It's all good.
