"in 1921, before most of us were born, a remarkable study began tracking the loves and lives of 1500 americans from childhood to death.
the study continues even today, with research teams led by howard friedman still keeping tabs on the remaining few who are still alive and analyzing massive amounts of data to establish what it is precisely that led some to stay well and others to fall ill or die before their time.. > .
I dont seem to be able to edit the above post. I wanted to add:
I think that they would have been more effective talking about creation, on such a wonderful day.
But then again, it probably isn't the set piece in the My Kingdom Ministry for this week.

The point is that we do not normally gravitate toward gloom and doom ... the watchtower hands it to us on a silver platter and scoops it in!
The jws called yesterday. Unfortunatly for them, they caught the attention of Mrs Picard.
It was a beautiful sunny day. We live in the countryside. The birds were singing, we were sitting in the garden, enjoying it all.
The opening gambit: "we have come to ask you what you think of the world situation? "
They never did get a chance to hear the reply.

let your light shine and.
learn about sunday preaching!
What a stupid idea: calling on people when they are at home.
I bet that never catches on.
today, if you enter a kingdom hall anywhere on planet earth you will soon discover there is no autonomy among the elders or the congregation members.free expression is forbidden.
there is no honest inquiry.
there is no questioning of policy.
Interesting information Terry.Thank you.
At the moment, I am looking over Barbara's website ( watchtowerdocuments.com).
Do you know if the book "The Writings of Maria Russell " makes interesting reading?
yes we made it.
four cats, two dogs and two humans.
the trip was long with only one lay over in savannah ga when we had a trailer tire blow up on i-95.
Glad to hear you had a safe trip.
Hope you settle in nicely.
Best wishes

i've observed some forum users here that claim to be active witnesses (even claims to be ministerial servants or elders) while duplicitously supporting apostates online.
my contention is this; why attend meetings and/or participate in the preaching activity when the second you divulge your apostate thinking into the congregation, you'll be disfellowshipped?
while this action taken may seem to be harsh, the outworking of events wouldn't be much different in one of christendom's churches.
Maze,
I'm frankly amazed that you needed to ask this question!
cried myself to sleep.
last night was the second time.
i have been out for 20 (give or take) years.
I recognize that as far as my relationship with my mother goes I'm still very lucky but I'm terrified I'm going to lose it.
Hi scooterspank. I wonder what you thought of my suggestion on your last post?
she was telling me about some old JW friends she found on Facebook......
Sounds like your mum is nostalgic. So why not try and give her some of your own shared nostalgia.
Reminds me a bit of the Beatles.
....well, just a little bit.
i need to do a keyword search and i can't find a searchable version on line.
i suppose i could download it all from their website, but they don't have the whole thing all in one file.
i'm hoping one of you guys has a pdf or something you could email me.
Kingseer, you are useful.
I missed your intro. Welcome.
