  **MUST READ** AlanF's email to Knocking.org

  by sf in

  this is a must-read that, hopefully, will stay an "active topic" for all seekers and lurkers, by bumping it to the top as often as possible.

  alan wrote it in randys {dogpatch} thread regarding knocking.org documentary and in reply to the email mr. engardio sent to barbara anderson.

  however, it is so vital a read that it indeed needs its own thread:.

  JW Convention First Aid

  by Quotes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just had a flashback that reminded me of one of the only times i saw my elder-father somewhat "fed up" with his fellow brethren.

  once upon a time, my father had some sort of first-aid badge from his workplace.

  he was assigned the task of managing the first ais station at the circuit assembly.

  2 days in NY, 2 days in LA, what do you do?

  by Satans little helper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  guys and girls, mrs slh and i are emigrating to the promised land of australia in august and the cheapest way to get there with the best luggage allowance is via the us.

  as it's a round the world ticket we can stop twice on the way and have decided to spend 2 days in ny and 2 days in la.

  so, we've got limited time and don't want to spend an absolute fortune (so disneyland is out).

  Theocratic Warfare/What's Up With That?

  by prophecor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi all, at the risk of sounding ignorant, i'm going to present this question anyway.

  i hear all the talk about theocratic warfare and all it's implications.

  what exactly constitutes theocratic warfare, and if it entails lying, as i've heard it to be, how do they justify it?

  by freedom96 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it must be about 13 years since i went out in service.

  about 15 years since i went out a couple times a month, and about 18 years since i went at least once a week.. i just can't imagine going from door to door anymore.

  but to think that we all did it for quite awhile.
