MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
by sisteract injust got home a short while ago after visiting a couple of local kingdom halls.
yep, left them a "present" a little lamb with a note regarding the "silenced lambs" and the silent lambs web site.
they'll be there to greet the pioneers and publishers for their early morning field service meeting.

Let's shake things up at Beliefnet
by professor ini've been reading and posting over at the jehovah's witnesses challenge & critique section of the mega-religion site beliefnet.
the moderator (a jw) is starting to get her undies in a bundle over some of the posts!
i think it would be cool if some others from here would go over there and rattle the cage a little.

Good luck with this one! You remind me that I am eventually going to have to deal with questions like this with my two daughters. And to think I was not even allowed to date at all as a JW (even after turning 18!).

P.S. hey prof, long time no post to (my fault). I see the girls prevailed upon you to change your profile pic back. Wrapped around a finger or two are we?
I'm only a gentleman. I have to please the ladies. (Actually it was Stephanus who finally convinced me to change it back!)

Please, I am so upset...I need some hugs...
by Sentinel ini am having a very difficult time and i am here right now because i know in my heart, that when i explain what has just happened to me a few minutes ago, you will understand.
many of you are no doubt going through the same thing.. within several posts here, i have spoken of my mother.
my dear sweet mother, who just turned 78, and who has been a faithful jw since 1959. she abandoned me in 1981, when i decided to leave the borg, and for twelve years she did not speak to me, write to me, call me, or visit me.

It's very cool to see you guys posting over there. I enjoy that board and sometimes surf back and forth from here to there. There are actually some very interesting debates about JW issues going on over there!

This feels to me like a post about letting go (of resentment?)
How right you are, Nilfun. By the way, welcome to the board! -

Are you a Bible Student?
No. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Russell is dead now and realizes he was wrong.

Some of you may find this a bit strange. I have a picture of Charlie Russell in a nice frame that I keep. In fact, it sits on my desk at work. Througout the work week people sometimes ask me who the person in the picture is.
"Is it your grandfather?" some have asked.
I tell them "It's Charles Taze Russell. He invented the Watchtower."
"Are you a Jehovah's Witness?" is sometimes the next question.
Of course I no longer consider myself to be "one of Jehovah's Witnesses". But the picture brings me a strange comfort. That is because I feel that he knows now what has become of millions of people due to what he started at the end of the 19th century. I look at the picture now and I feel that he is saying to me "I know, and I'm sorry for what has happened to you and your family."
Do you ever think about Jehovah's Witnesses reaching the other side and realizing that they were wrong? Perhaps it is your relatives that shun you or a particularly difficult elder. I like to think about Russell and I get a feeling once in a while that he is with me in some way.-professor
