Yes, I remember my nieces loved the Panda bears in that book. Did the Live Forever Book have disturbing death scenes in it too? I can't remember.

What’s Wrong With President Biden?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
i just watched excerpts from his cnn town hall event and something is seriously wrong with him.

he can’t put together a sentence without getting lost, tripping on his own words, forgetting what he is talking about.……this is embarrassing.

and it’s not because he has a stutter!
Sea Breeze

The Biden administration is going door to educate people about the benefits of the shots and to encourage people to get them, but not to force them to get them.
Yet. They will however, end up with a good list of "subversives". The non-conformists could later make excellent candidates for re-education activities.
We have the internet. Two brown-shirts from DC going to do better than that? I don't think so. I'm not buying the education spin at all.

My mom studied with me in the Paradise book before I went to Kindergarten. I remember the book vividly. It creeped me out as a kid. The scenes with Adam & Eve looked dreamy and not convincing, the destruction and killing scenes were really disturbing to a 5 yr. old. I remember asking lots of questions during those studies that seemed to make my mom uncomfortable. For some reason the embossment on the front cover felt creepy to me. I did not like that book as a child. Even when I got older, I didn't really want to open that book.

Later mom studied with me in the Great Teacher book. I liked that one much better as I recall.

Anyone else here study those?

Excuse me maam, I happened to be in your neighborhood today sharing Watchtower publications. No matter what you are worried about, the WT has something for you. They are finely printed 192 page publications designed to answer some of life's most important questions. Look how shiny the covers are.
How about this one, "Is the Bible Really the Word of God"? There is no further obligation if you get one.

Did You Feel Special Because You Were An Elder or Friend or Family Of?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
for many families, they received the golden ticket once a family member became an elder.

the glory and admiration of being an elder seeped right thru to all the elder’s connections.

if you got into some trouble, having an elder friend or relative could give you the stay out of jail card.

My experience was that anointed ones were viewed as crackpots most of the time. Sorry you had to go through that TBK.

The Light Actually IS Getting Brighter
by Magnum in

the light really is getting brighter, but what kind?

i can think of three types of figurative light in this context:.

1) that which jws refer to and they base on pr 4:18. light on a path... light that gets brighter.

WT leadership are like roaches. When you shine a light on them they start scurrying for a hole to climb into.

I once showed up with a friend of mine on a Saturday morning at a KH. We got lucky and the Circuit Overseer was leading the pre-field service meeting. I explained how we were from such and such church nearby and wanted to ask some bible questions.

The CO explained that he could not meet with us because he was leading the group into field service. I explained that we were the kind of people they were seeking and would be happy to talk about their beliefs. He refused to set up a time to meet with us and only agreed to take our phone number and meet with us later that afternoon. Of course we all knew he was lying.

He never called.
Thanks to all the hard work of activists, the light IS getting brighter!
