"Why? She had other stuff on her plate"
Yes, including the book. I am sure getting the book published took a great deal of effort and time, which leads me back to the same question. Was it that hard, given all the time invested in the book, to add a simple explanation for the delay?
Instead of an advance announcement, she surprises everyone: "here's the book, and let me tell you "I have suffered too much"". All of us are capable of empathy if we know what someone else is going through, but we didn't.
I smell a Christian, yes the Christian who wants to emulate Christ in the cross. My mother is exactly like that and most of the times I have to bite my tongue just like I am doing now.

In defense of the of the critics,
I feel bad that I made a comment suggesting that Mrs. Dykstra may have caved in to the Watchtower and decided to scrap any future publication of Ray Franz books. But in retrospect, I think many of us speculated because she was completely silent for a very long time; a simple two paragraph explanation could have put the speculation to rest, but she chose not to explain anything. So Slim and many others who speculated and question her motives should be given some slack.
I certainly am quite happy that "Crisis" is available again, but I can't help to wonder why she was completely silent for so long and decides to surprise everyone.

Are there any instances of "GOD" order and/or condoning the rape of women in the bible?
by Black Man inthis came up recently with my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother, who swears up and down that there are no scriptural instances of this happening.
i seem to remember a couple passages, but can't remember where they were..

"After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife."
Isn't God nice?, he allowed a month mourning period before raping orphan women whose parents were killed by the rapist. Praise Jehovah God!

I was quite tolerant of this guy until now
by never a jw inpresident trump is definitely a demagogue, a populist, and not a great extemporaneous speaker, just to mention few of his more conspicuous flaws.
however, i was going along because "it's the economy stupid".
now that has changed.

"Why is it OK for the EU to impose tariffs, but not OK for the US?"
Because we in the U.S. believe in free trade far more than the E.U. If they want to go off a cliff, then let them go. Free trade allows the consumer to buy the best mousetrap at the best price possible. Free trade benefits consumers more than anyone else. What's wrong with that??

"People actually believe this?"
Yes, American society in general was too concerned about taking away white male privilege that created a mess for themselves. It's called Trump. By the way I happen to be very brown, literally. But I just don't blind myself to reality.

Is My Wife Awakening?
by My Name is of No Consequence inevery now and then, my wife will talk about how things are not making sense within the org.
i usually just dismiss it as her playing mind games with me.
for example, she would ask why there are so many branches being closed or why so many congregations are being merged.

"A quote can be taken out of context. Critical reports often only give part of a matter and leave out other aspects. Often such rumors play on the emotions."
Take it from the experts on the subject.
EDIT: I should have read all comments first. Pretty much everyone noticed the same thing.

What wasanelder said.
Also I want to add that I understand that the American white male has been neglected, mistreated, rejected, maligned unfairly in the last few decades, but is Trump your idea of how to fix that injustice? You could have done better, far better.
