i am going to be speaking to the 45-55 years old plus generation here.
i bought my first copy around 1980, it was the thing to do because it proved most of christendom's believes came from nimrod, and by the end of the 1980s the book and the name faded away into oblivion.. .
the watchtower use to print that book or distribute it, am i correct or has my memory gotten bad?

as i've said before, things are getting weird across the world.
i believe it is possible to predict what happens next.. there is a "cabal", the rich and powerful, the big banks, the bilderbergs, the "1%".
and they are in trouble.. like wolves who have run out of prey, they have run out of assets to steal.
Could whistleblowing be the new american patriotism? http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jun/14/edward-snowden-investigate-booz-allen+
Snowden, former govt or gvot contractor employee spills beans on prism - govt monitoring emails, and various other oversteps by govt and govt contractors.
Blow the lid off run away govt secrecy and return the power of knowledge/information to the people.

i was raised as a jw from the age of 7. i was df'd for apostasy in 1971 at the age of 23. it has been 42 years since i have had contact with any jehovah's witnesses, including my family.
last year i moved to tucson.
when i read that a district assembly was coming to town, and that it would be at the convention center only minutes from my house, i decided to check it out.
Long time, 40 yrs.
There are 2 kids to the left. Are you the one w the glasses? I notice that you wear them, now. You look happier now.

i"m listening to the 2013 dc green bay saturday talk on false gods.. the speaker says no one would knowingly worship false deities.
but could we inadvertantly give jehovah less than exclusive devotion he deserves.. he said:you have not allowed this deception power of sin to sensual desires, material comforts, pets, technology, entertainment or food to become objects of devotion to you.. anything that interferes with our spiriutal routine has the power of eroding or weaking our relationship with jehovah.. .
my dogs can erode my relationship with jehovah.
Pets need to learn about jehovah. Then, they will be (jw) human safe. Take them to meetings w you;)

the only reason i am posting this is because i know many of you are going or will be going through something similar and wonder if it is worth it.
i personally feel that it is worth it regardless of what i lose.
my wife is backing me and i have my children.
They blame the dffed person. Family thinks that family has NO CHOICE in the matter. They claim that the dffed person has made family's decision for them. Not true, of course. The family member makes the decision every time they decide to shun the family member.

so while making a you tube video of my dad today, i came across this in a dvd of home movies from way back, i didn't even know about it... originally shot on super 8 film, shot off screen with camcorder in 1992, with open mic, transfered to dvd in 2010 .. made to you tube in 2013.... check out the food service, without paper plates no less .. it's only a couple minutes on convention then, a little seatle conventions were a family vacation when we were growing up ... .

In that era, i also heard that story. I have no idea if its true, or not. The military has made huge strides forward, in that area, w its mre's. Not so, the wt. The wt has retrogressed in the food services area.
