Baptism Questions??

this forum tends to get me thinking about things from the past and then roll my eyes.. i was recalling a particular pharasee in the congregation who used to love showing everyone how "smart" he was.. when i would go over the questions with someone, we would fly through them because it was usually with kids who were raised as jw's and could answer then in their sleep.

(besides the fact it was an "open book" quiz.).

well, mr pharasee used to always make it into a marathon session and take 2-3 hours to go over one section of the questions with someone.. he could take a simple question like "what is god's name?

Why do JW's hate EX-JW'S more than WORLDLIES?
by african GB Member in

do they feel intimidated by the fact that ex-jw's know all about the way they function as an organization?

(well except what happens at the "back room" and at gb decision making meetings)..... is it because they can still "catch" worldlies?.

...or is it because ex-jw's could poison those still in "the truth"?.

Confidential Body of Elder Letters from 1981 through 2006

here it is guys.

this is what darth frosty was talking about in his post the other day (http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/149460/1.ashx).

this is a collection of confidential letters from the watchtower society that were sent to the bodies of elders in the years 1981 through 2006. these are the letters that you were never meant to see or read.. there's all sorts of information in them ranging from the boring and mundian to instructions about how to handle child molesters.. many thanks to darth frosty and others (who i'm not sure can be named) who worked very hard and took risks to collect and scan the information.

i found this while perusing through old golden ages at the new york public library.

it is so patently ridiculous and offensive, i thought i'd just post the thing without comment.

since half of them ended up at my house on friday and saturday nights i was given a very shining report card.

he then told me that he would knock on my door bright and early in the morning to take me to breakfast with him and his wife.

a couple of them told they enjoy the articles i write in the art magazines and they were really happy to meet me.

Bethel Memories Good and Bad

dave inspired me with his story of his week at bethel.

the fish in the pond outside the e building at the watchtower farm would eat out of your hand, very cool.

the fall colors of the mountains with the morning sunshine on them outside the dining hall at the farm were spectacular.

i arrived at bethel in december of 1968 on a cold night.

i had the taxi drop me off at the old columbia heights building.

the door was locked so i knocked and was reluctantly allowed in by another bethelite.
