Congratulations. I remembered how happy I was when my post count reached 1,000. We all grew up counting hours and placements, so we have to find a new thrill of numeration.

1000 Posts
by konceptual99 inwow!
i've just realised i've reached 1000 posts on the board.. this is a personal milestone and so i think i should take a moment to reflect on the last 18 plus months.. in that time i have completely lost my faith in bible, in jw doctrine and in any kind of hope for a new world as described by the gb and believed by me for 40+ years.
i have stepped down as a ministerial servant after 20 years.

Just got a call from an elder
by nolongerconfused inso 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.

Given Blondie's comments I suggest you ignore and delete the voice mail. Chances are you will never hear from these folks again.

Faith On The March
by RN inanyone out there have an original edition of this book?.
because i'm trying to decide if i've lost my mind or have the worst memory ever.
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.

You are correct, RN. I am not sure I would find it nauseating, but something similar.

I remember my father had the book. My mother always considered the book to be very encouraging, but I never got around to reading it. Perhaps with the links provided I can now finially read.

I checked the newsroom, it said he had 6 children.
In addition to his wife, Penny, Mr. Pierce is survived by his six children, several grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Given the bethel hierarchy, how did that happen? He must have received his calling late in life because I don't see how he had 6 kids with a lifetime at bethel.

Disrupting literature carts
by perfect1 ini am ready for a little guerilla warfare (no one gets hurt, of course).
but these literature carts in the city need to go.
everytime i walk by its all i can do to keep from knocking the thing over.. any ideas on how to destroy their little stash of paper.. so far my best idea is water, pouring water all over it.

I was in Washington DC at Union staion last week where the cart and a few sisters were standing. Accross the street there was a very large man who appeared to be homeless yelling at them. It was quite funny what he was saying, unfortunately I could not hang around.
The best thing is to ignore these - from what I see, everyone else does. Even making eye contact with these folks is pretty painful.

Someone has already edited the wikipedia to indicate his death.
If it is on Wikipedia, it must be true. Amazing how fast that works.

the financial aid offer came in.. the first year of attending is actually cheaper than what we were going to pay at the state university after their scholarship offer.. i mean, really cheaper.. we would be fools to turn it down.. they are even flying him in for the preview week.. .

Is this an actual WT publication?
I had the same thought. The complete book is in the link. Take a look at the cover and first few pages. This directly from heaven to use via his faithful slave, aka "the judge."
