My family hosted the CO and wife for their week-long visit several times. I'm sure my mother was freaking out every second of every day.
This was in the '70s in rural Maine, so there was no luxury available to offer them, and by and large they were pretty laid-back folks keenly aware of the fact that they were upsetting your household routine, just as we were conscious of their need for privacy. Of course, I was a teenager back then, so probably some of their idiosyncracies went right over my head.
It wasn't until I'd moved away that I started noticing that some CO couples came with a long list of conditions and a preference for the most luxurious accommodations available in the cong.

What is the most damning watchtower publication?
by zound ini want to purchase a couple of vintage watchtower publications to help in my helping jw's break free.
some of the older ones are expensive or hard to come by - i know you can buy them on cd's but i'd like to own one or two of the "classics of propaganda"- some of the ones that speak for themselves as to the ridiculousness of this religion.. of course any magazine i pick up today speaks to me of the ridiculousness, but you need something much more hardcore for the jw's.. any recommendations?.
"children" has some pretty good quotes in it..

Revelation - It's Grand Climax At Hand! was the publication that stumbled me the most. I could never get my head around the seven trumpet blasts in the Apocalypse being a series of JW conventions in the 1920's
Ditto for me! Of course it was on the third time through that piece of schnitt that the scales fell from my eyes.

I knew it was a lot of hooey, but I didn't leave over that. The ball was already rolling as I'd found out about the pedophilia.

Is this really the article? Holy cats! It used to be JWs were supposed to buttonhole bypassers or innocent shoppers in line and start a conversation whether they wanted it or not. And they were supposed to inform the literature-accepting householder that they had the privilege of donating to the "world-wide work." Now, it seems like manners are more important.

HA! Take that Watchtower! One less Borg for you!!!!!
by Gojira_101 inlast week a friend of mine contacted me out of the blue asking if we could have lunch together.
my friend has been studing with the jw's on and off for about 11-12 years i think.
she has told me everytime i see her that she can't wait for jehovah to end this evil world...she can't wait for the new system...the end is so close....etc.. i sent her a message back telling her that i left the jw's and asked her if she had heard that.

Governing body member engaged... Again!
by OneDayillBeFree injust found out that the australian governong body member known as geoffrey jackson got engaged to a sister about two weeks ago.
it really shocked me at first but then i remembered how other members of the gb have remarried in the past like daniel sidlik.
what made me say "woah" was hearing that the holy bride to be is really young!

Still, how'd he pull of sex with a 12 year old at the KH with other folks around?
My guess would be that he'd been grooming her so she wouldn't put up a fuss. Everyone's inside eating at lunchtime. He has a van in the parking lot.
