Disturbing Information Passed on in Annual Elders Meeting?
by Dune inas you all may know, the elders around america have had (or will have) their annual meetings.
you know, the ones where they are trained and brought up to date about the whole scheme of things.. anyway, an elder who i happen to be close to was telling me yesterday that some troubling/disturbing things has been going down in congregations worldwide.
he also mentioned that it will be mentioned in watchtowers and km's in the next few months.. anyone know what he may be talking about?

What is the most unique name you've encountered?
by Why Georgia inthis question comes to mind right now because i seem to be surrounded by pregnant women.
3 of the mom's in my sons' kindergarten class of 12 - are pregnant and in the other classes i notice a similar trend.
it's not a large school - maybe 60 kids max between the preschool and kindergarten.

Oh there is daystar, but you wouldn't believe it if I told you about answers to specific prayers, and lots of other stuff that has happened to me in my life. Do you expect me to believe there is no god because some ex-JW's (who were deluded most of their lives as it is) has the answers to all things theological?

Still a Christian, and advocate Christianity although I do not have the answers to all my questions. Very much ant-Watchtower though. My belief in Christ is because of the great changes I have seen in individuals espousing Christianity. Doctrines and prophecy are 'no man's land' most of the time. Like one friend said, "When my 12th, candidate for the 'Anti-Christ' died, I quit trying to guess who it was"!

My wife gives the book (with 6 eyes on the cover) a two thumbs up! You also are able to identify different ones you have come into contact with over time, possibly even family who have sociopath qualities. It's a protection for you.

To: Barbara Anderson -- Re: First WatchTower President
by West70 ini am primarily posting this to barbara anderson, but obviously everyone is welcome to correct or comment on my remarks as they see fit.
mrs. anderson, i realize that trying to cover all bases in your pending russell bio would be impossible, but i do hope that you will be able to include a section on the first president of the watch tower society, william h. conley.
i hope that you have had a chance to research conley with some degree of thoroughness, so as to dispel some of the half-truths that some bible students and jws try to promote (such as that conley's age and health caused his inactivity with russell after 1881).

Russell was favorable to the Jews origionally, and taught the Jews Return to Palestine doctrine as coming from God. Several years ago a book on Pastor Russell by a David Horawitz (sp?) was published because of that fact. Also, there was much more information on him but unfortunately I have misplaced this book I once had. Maybe it would be available from someone dealing in used/older books.

CHEATING ON FIELD SERVICE
by chuckyy intowards the end of my time as a jw, i must confess to cheating whilst out on field service.. 1. i would turn up at the field service arrangement with my wife, and we would say that we were working together that day to do return visits.
as everyone went out, we would simply get into our car and drive home.
(hypocritical i know).

REMEMBER, WHEN PIONEERING, ANYTHING OVER 40 HOURS CAN BE COUNTED 'TIME AND A HALF'! AND EVEN THE 'WORLD' PAYS YOU FOR COFFEE BREAKS. COULD WE EXPECT ANYTHING LESS FROM GOD'S ORGANIZATION?
