Interstingly in page 16 the WT makes a review through questions of the latest doctrines and advice, which pretty much are the article that have been discussed here. The WT wants to make sure that R&F reallly remembers and understands. Have they done tha before?

In that same country, a building project was scheduled for a much needed Kingdom Hall.

The local brothers and sisters wanted to assist. However, the project was to be undertaken in

the middle of their planting season. Still determined to have a share, they worked on the

Kingdom Hall project during the day and then went into the fields in the evening to make sure

that they got their crops planted. What a selfsacrificing spirit!

The paragraph above is from the Watchtower of Dec 2013. What bothered me is the abuses of the Watchtower that decides to make projects according to its own convenience and despite the trouble it creates for the very people who make the greatest contribution and is most needy. What an abusive, callous, inconsiderate "spirit-guided" organization!

I was there. Good movie. My only observation is that women were underrepresented. Women are the majority, they do the heavy lifting in the preaching work, they are the most devout, and they also are the greatest influence on children, especially when they marry non believers. I think their voice can carry even more power than the voice of "those men", who are often inclined to do the wrong thing (have fun, sex, drink, party, go wild), and therefore have convenient reasons for leaving the organization. Men's voice come stronger in the doctrinal and historical aspects because many have been elders, but the issues of the movie were more on the emotional side, the area where women can carry more weight

Hey Randy,

Yesterday I wanted to talked to you after the movie, but you were always busy. My interest in approaching you was to offer some help. My stregths are:

Spanish is my first language and also the language that I used in my education from K to the final year of college.

Also, given the business that I am in, I can help you produce printing at a very low cost. I will try sending a PM.

I live in the east part of the S.F. Valley

Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?

i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .

and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

never a jw

Carl Olof Jonsson far and away. What a phenomenal job he did with the Gentile Times Reconsidered. I believe he was a factor in awakening Ray Franz and many others in the early eighties. Let's give credit where credit is due. I thanked him, not just for teaching me TTATT, but also for getting me interested in the Bible (as a historical or literary document), Astronomy, Archaelogy and Ancient History. Thank you COJ
