I find the comments at the bottom of the outline and the letter very telling.
I am glad I did the right thing and made those Talks about the PEOPLE who had died, and about comfort for the family, and NOT a recruitment speech.
i knew it.

a japanese sister who recently woke up revealed me that she became extremely suspicious about the organization after reading watchtower article .oct.15 2015page31.

We need to use “thinking ability” and “discernment” to identify “the man speaking perverse things” and those “whose entire course is devious.”
How you may ask?
Some feel that they must bring it to the attention of others to get their opinion, but all that does is propagate the malicious information.
Use your thinking ability to not see what others may say about this event.
we should ask Jehovah for wisdom and speak to mature brothers about it.
So you should talk to elders so they can tell you to ignore it.
THAT'S REALLY USING YOUR THINKING ABILITY!
i keep up with allexperts.com, and i noticed an interesting question to "brother rando".
his statement surprised me, and i am wondering if i missed some new light along the way.. question:.
"hello bro rando.
Wow he should write Fantasy books.
Where did he get all that made up crap? Does he have lunch with Ciro?
first off i do believe there are some evidences of evolution or i should probably say adaptation.
i do believe this exists in various forms.. however the deal breaker for me with evolution is the chick or egg problem.
there are tons of theories that get passed around as proof of evolution however these are usually examples much further down the evolutionary chain.. what i mean is let's start at the beginning!
By the way - EVOLUTION is the explanation of the process by which different kinds of living organisms have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
Not how life came about.

Buy a book on it and ready it.
Try "The greatest show on earth" by Dawkins
i wonder what it would be like, without any religion in the world?
i don't think it would be like 'imagine' by lennon.. i don't believe it will ever happen.
even if it did, people are the same.
last night i had to suffer through the bs spouted by the new co. some garbage about the bible transforming us as people.
he went on and on about how we can look good to people at the hall who see the outside, but the bible will tell us what we are inside.. then he proceeded to use a few select verses to say sex is bad and so is the desire for it.
a healthy bank account or savings is wrong, shouldn't have that either.
Was that a CO visit or a Stand Up Act?
:)
the reason i ask is because while watching the "dateline" episode about ralph candelario, the claim was made that only jw men could file for divorce, not women.
.
i had never thought about this before.. also, how does this apply in cases where a husband is "apostate" while the wife is faithful to wt?
She can file for divorce for whatever reason they want, though there could be issues with privileges like pioneering that could be taken away. Also they would not be "scripturally" be free to date or remarry.
Besides adultery, spiritual endangerment, or severe physical danger are the WT authorized reasons to divorce without being considered having done something not spiritually wise.

5 for Fighting - 100 Years - maybe the best lyrics ever to a song.
I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a "they"
A kid on the way, babe.
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
And dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got a hundred years to live
