That's the name! I'd forgotten. My parents got baptized in 1972 and went through the 80 questions in the Lamp book. A little over a year later my brother and I went through the 120 questions in the Organization book.

R.I.P." Daisy"
by smiddy inyesterday we had to make the decision to put our cat down as her health had deteriated so much in the last few months ,and especially in the last week.
many of you will know it is such a traumatic experience to go through and very painfull emotionally .. i had never considered myself a cat person , we rented a house ,double story with an outside balcony and next door had what i would describe as an umberella ?
tree ,where a cat sat, and looked over at us at the second level.. it started hanging around the front door and i said dont feed it as it will never go away.

So sorry, Smiddy. Every pet teaches us something and leaves us better for the experience of loving unconditionally.
This is my Willoughby:

My ex-husband is short like that. Some of the friends used to joke that he could barely see over the lectern.

On 9/11 I was working for a JW boss, and she was positively ebullient about the tragedy unfolding. With sparkling eyes she said to me, "Oh, Sally, just imagine - you'll be able to tell your father (who had just passed away) that you saw the start of the Great Tribulation!"
I said to her, "My god, Jean, thousands of people just died tragically!" I was still a Dub at the time, but even to my cult-controlled mind that was going way over the top.

A 3 phase great tribulation.?? Has anybody else heard this before? July 15 2013 Watchtower
by SeekingTheRealTruth inam i the only one that never heard this before?
on pg 3 par 3 of july 15 2013 watchtower it says "for a number of years, we thought that the great tribulation began in 1914 with world war i and that "those days were cut short" by jehovah in 1918 when the war ended so that the remnant would have the opportunity to preach the good news to all nations.
" after the completion of that preaching work,satans empire would be destroyed.

Jeepers! I thought a major teaching had flown right over my head. My father dragged us into JWs in 1972, so we didn't learn the old 3-phase GT thing.

Whatever happened to the meaty stuff the FDS used to serve up? Remember the public talk, "The Parts of the Temple and their Prophetic Significance?" Of course, probably most of that has changed.

Oh gosh, Montreal 1978, tent/trailer city. Having to walk a quarter of a mile to use the bathroom, ice cold showers (not exaggerating), hot, dusty, crowded. Ex-hubby and I were sharing a pickup-truck camper with another couple. All the trailers and campers were parked around the perimeter 4 feet apart.
The camper next to us had to recharge their battery every evening, and their exhaust pipe was pointed right at our window. The family in the camper consisted of an unbelieving husband, two screechy kids, and a long-suffering JW wife. Every evening the unhappy husband took his wrath out on the wife using every nasty word you can imagine, and a few you can't.
On top of everything, I developed a bladder infection on the trip to Montreal and was sick, sick, sick. It was a 5-day international assembly in umpteen languages with tens of thousands of people milling around (I think top attendance was around 80,000) so it was sheer luck if you ever connected with your family or someone from your own congregation.
Of course, we had to do field service. Our "territory" included an apartment building in which lived a very vocal, JW-hating lady who screamed at us in French as we went to every door.
Oh yeah, memories are made of this.
