I played that record all the time in the 60s. I think I will look them up on You Tube!
Skeeter I loved those groups!

some guys visited me a couple of times, and i asked them about the book of revelation.
one of them brought me a red book with a lot of illustrations and at the end of every page or so the guy had dated the day he had read it.
he also marked certain passages.
On the inside cover write www.jehovah's-witness.net
Write your name Cold Steel as if you were the owner.
Donate it to your local Thrift shop.
OR
Study that book and when the guy comes back have him clarify if he believes it!
It has a lot of false teachings in it! Worse WT book ever written.
a friend from the other end of the country just 'phoned and told me that a couple of days ago two elders knocked on his door.
he has been out for four or more years.. they told him it was c.o's visit, and the governing body have asked them to call on those whom they no longer see at the k.hall.. i guess this is an easier "field" than knocking on doors that never open, or where they are told "not interested".. my friend bill though, was not such an easy call.
apparently he managed to get in about 1914 being rubbish, the bible not being the word of god, because we cannot trust it, 1919 being rubbish as to the choosing of the fds and several other telling points.. i liked particularly that he said to them they were rather hypocritical asking householders to examine their faith, when jw's were simply not allowed to !.
".... hypocritical asking Householders to examine their faith, when JW's were simply not allowed to !"
Hey I am going to use this one! Good point! JW always talk about others religions and not their own.
so i have a question...according to the bible, the anointed are virgins, among other things.
so how are married fathers and mothers able to be anointedwhy xoes nobody question this?
now, i did see in this past weeks wt they mentioned "spiritual virgins" which is not in the bible...why do people believe this stuff they spew....it is so weird!
I believe the 144,000 were chosen from the tribes of Israelites and were literal. I believe the number started with the ones under the alter and 144,000 were added then it continues until the great crowd are completed. No human knows the final number but God does.
It is Revelations so nothing is for sure.
...and new species of "humans" have appeared gradually, do we have "x-men" amoung us??
so many people are willing to automatically discount abilities that cannot, as of yet, be explained by our current scientific knowledge.
is it too frightening to entertain the idea that there are new and possibly better "humans" in our ranks?
I like it X men and aliens.
Although, aliens have strange fish that walk on ground they have twenty legs and wide huge mouths! I guess our air would be cleaner!
DDog I watch YouTube so their could be some humans out there with abilities! Still working on why a little girl can make objects move.
It would be interesting if there was a gradual slight change in humans! Like the abilty to see microscopic organism. Although that would freak me out! Hear things common average person could not. Hmm that would give me a headache! For some reason people with higher IQ seem very different but nice and maybe they are part of the super human race! They are changing the world to a better place. It would be something,if some of these geniuses, kids, find cures to heal but accidentally caused x men. Cure common colds brings back telepathic abilities. I just making it up! But I understand what your saying and like it!
i'm cleaning up my home of unnecessary magazines/newsletters that i have accumulated over the years.
while i was working as an employee i did not feel like i had the time to read them.
now that i'm not working as an employee but work as a volunteer to network and maintain workplace skills, i seem to have more time to read.. after reading many threads by former jws, i thought that the following article might help some to heal.
Better to forgive if one can! If not time will!
our memorial was held at a music hall with roughly 1300-1400 in attendance.
there was a guest speaker from bethell, guess who??
andre!
I do not recall ever going to the Memorial and hearing such an awful talk as what you described!
It is total lack of respect for Jesus Christ sacrifice! Plugging in Jw.org I hate hearing plugs! Twice sucks and you stayed!
How nice are you to do this with your wife! You must really love her! I ranted! :-)

The only bibical reason to not partake: If one does not believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God the Messiah. Why would a non believer in Jesus attend. Worse yet why send out invites!
What does that say about Jehovahs Witness! They invite Non Christians to the Last Supper! I doubt Paul did!
Why would JW want outsiders to attend!
They go door to door with invitations! Invite strangers who are Christians from other churches to attend as visitors then tell them it is like thievery to partake! Nuts!
I doubt Paul would approve.
It is just crazy!
i was curious what might be some good things to say if i am questioned by the elduurs about my decline in fs.
anything too honest may get me a jc (although that would be for the best in the end..) the co visit is this week so they may be getting more agressive than usual.
I decided to take the week off.
saw a movie - 'gospel of john', recently.
had some questions:-.
1) when jesus said come follow me and you will get eternal life, what did that mean?
Three thousand people was added, because they believed,repented,and were baptized. I might not be a Jehovahs Witness but I gladly believe in Jesus.
Acts 2
Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”41 Then those who gladly[g] received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,
