i realize that rutherford received a flash of light regarding the identity of the gc in the year 1935, but that does not tell us when the crowd began to form.
what would be the earliest date?
any ideas or quotes from wt literature?
I remember old ones saying how "relieved" they felt when it was announced not everyone is going to heaven because they personally didn't want to go to heaven.
I just don't want to go anywhere, if they're there!
... And we got SW tickets to the 3rd show time ( why is that a part of this thread?).
a vomit inducing comment.. i asked why do they have to specify 'meetings'?
they never miss us in tesco or the showcase cinema bar.. in their defence, a friend of mine said: 'that's because the meeting is where they normally would see you.'.
well, if they want to see you they can arrange a meal out or something.
thank you all for your sincere encouragement during these last few weeks.
finally, she is at peace.
i was with her , holding her hand when she died.
way to early on a saturday morning we got a ring on our doorbell.
someone else answered the door.
after they left i walked by our entry way and gagged from the smell!
My tired eyes will not allow me to read all these comments. But at a glance, I can't BELIEVE all the unlikes and negative feedback.
Those JWs had it coming. Every mother loving week we had an announcement reminding the cong to not wear fragrance, "including strong deodorant." It was overkill. Plus that ridiculous Awake article in the early 2000s. Yet somehow the assembly hall bathrooms never failed to smell like a Monsanto warehouse. I have no understanding for those who deposit fragrance chem trails, especially after being made to feel for years that I was expected to wear unscented deodorant.
i have followed this blog and read the blog authors' book almost since it was first started.

it seems they're shutting down their project.
when i first learn ttatt i started telling every one.
ttatt will not help him, it will destroy him.
all his family are jws.
I'm glad you started this thread because this is on my mind.
My two siblings, our spouses and I are now awake and fading. Our parents and the elders are literally harrassing me, I'm talking 1-2 messages a week for two months now, after I missed 6 mos of meetings.
We are very sad for my parents. They have a lot of anxiety, depression, and insomnia over not being "good enough" and fear of their children's impending destruction.
We want to wake them up. They were baptized as children and are now in their 50s. They are very devout and truly gave their lives away.
In my own search to "make sure of all things" I am writing a series of college classroom style PowerPoints about JW issues. My siblings like them a lot. We want to show them to our parents in a sort of intervention maneuver but are also scared of absolutely shattering then emotionally and subsequently their running to the elders to tattle, as they've done the past.
last year my daughter had her first birthday and all my wife's family and friends were there.
my family didn't attend.
my mother and sister still believe in the jw teachings even though they are both considered inactive.
who were your past circuit overseers?
i'm sure a lot of us actually know mutual people, as the co's relocate all over the country.. here's a few from the southeast us: (let me know if you recognize any names and post yours too please...).
