  My son-in-law has a friend who died recently of Covid-19. The man was in his 30's and had asthma. My SIL also has asthma so needless to say, I am concerned. They are in the LA area.

  do you guys think during this corona virus lockdown, the gb will be “raptured to heaven”, thereby escaping any lawsuit from irwin zalkin?

  if so, how would they explain that the 20,000 or so other ‘anointed’ are still here?

  brazil?

  "If you can't get a Jehovah's witness to talk to ya, ya might want to shine up your social skills" Best line I've heard in ages!

  of all the things people decided they needed to stockpile for a potential quarantine.

  all of the stores around my area ran completely out of toilet paper this last weekend.

  people were piling it into their carts and vehicles as if they were going to be holed up for a year.

  I tried to buy toilet paper 3 days ago and found there wasn't even a small package - at ANY price. When I told Hubby he asked, "Do we have any old Watchtowers or Awakes laying around somewhere?" After I finished laughing, I said, "Sorry, No".

  Did being raised a Jehovah's Witnesses result in psychological damage? An interesting read in the New York Times.

  interesting read in the new york times book review.

  food for thought on a subject 3rd gen and i have discussed between ourselves and with our daughter.

  in our case, the answer is yes.

  The attempt by Watchtower is to keep its followers isolated and ignorant. This is accomplished by requiring busywork and indoctrination sessions as well as demonizing secular association, reading, and higher education.

  No wonder that when a person leaves JWs they often have stunted social skills and limited decision-making ability.

  When we left I was a 60-year-old with the "worldly" experience of an 18- year-old. I'm still trying to "grow up" yet I often find myself doing things to nurture the little girl that was physically abused and forced to behave like a mini-adult.

  here is a photo of the milwaukee brewers ( american baseball team) county stadium.

  for some reason, we were assigned this outdoor stadium for our 1975 four-day summer convention.

  our congregation was located 90 miles away on the north side of chicago.. some congregation members stayed at milwaukee hotels for the four-day convention.

  LV101, I was there in 1969. Is that the one you were referring to? At that time I lived in Pleasant Hill Ca. About 5-6 hours.

  Blondie, My family and I went to The Rose Bowl in '63 also. I was a freckle-faced girl of 11. It was so hot, one day my aunt fainted.

  my wife told me that the wt conductor said in in the strongest most emphatic way.

  that all child abusers will now be reported to the authorities whether there are 2 witnesses or not!

  and this is new thinking!
