Data-Dog... Such true words you speak! and 3 gold stars!

dear anthony morris the turd.
october 2, 2014 is only 150 days from now.... what bull sh*t are you cooking up to mitigate the expected fallout?.
you might consider shedding "nu-lite" on this continuously recycled quote.... on friday morning, october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, who took the lead at that time among the bible students, strode into the dining room at bethel in brooklyn, new york.
Imaginary happenings by coo coo people.
All those years, we iistened to a supposedly learned man, Fred Franz. He never even graduated from the University, he attended in Cincinnati, Ohio, yet with great bravado in his voice, his dramatic way of speaking, that was learned from his drama class, his rumblings and his writings, were self inspired drivel, that only he could make heads or tails out of. lol
Millions living who heard him speak his inspired pronouncements all over the world, are all dead.
That is what all living things do. We live and then we die.
Nothing is happening, nothing has happened, nothing will happen. He, she, (sh)it.

just saying , my 2 cents worth .
if they have an agenda it will be revealed in a short time , let them play it out .. however , some genuine first posters can be put off by somebody jumping the gun and attacking them .. please give the first posters time to get to know this site.. smiddy.
I am minding my p's and q's.
I thought this morning from now on, I won't care if "in" posters, new or old, want to count time here. It is none of my business.
The hope is that they might learn from whom they are enslaved by.
My "rough/ruff answer, before, was as if a Slave Master came, to talk down to us, to trap us and take us back. I find no joy in that.
Some of the WT/GB controlled drones, think they are helping us. I once thought that way.
I want to have only joy, love and peace in my heart for everyone.

this is long, sorry.
my 14 year old niece came to visit us this week.
she's being raised by her grandparents (ex-jws) and birth mother (ex-jw).
Thanks Skeeter1 for filling in these years.
You didn't mention if she has gotten any tattoo's.
I am curious in the decades to come, with all the tats and piercings, how these ones will be perceived in old folks homes. Will the ones caring for them, think, wow, they did live a life... or ...

I am glad she is still alive. I was a bit worried. Thank you for responding.

This was 6 years ago and your niece was 14.
Can you share with us how your niece is now, and what has happened since you first posted the OP?

ot law required jews to take the lead in stoning a family member who became apostate.. the watchtower has lamented the fact that the law of the land now forbids them from doing so.. if the law permitted it, as it does in some musim countries, and if the watchtower required it, would your family obey?.
my parents are good people and i believe their love for me is genuine, but i think they would follow orders.. what about yours?.
ConfusedandAlone ... Have your parents ever apologized to you?

on one hand, he's enlightnened many to the internal circle jerk that is the governing body (circa the 70s).. but if there's one reason that can be pointed to for the jws becoming full on cult, it's ray franz.
without him leaving in the manner he did, and stirring the pot, they might not have change the rule (retroatively i might add) on shunning of disassociated ones.
they specifically changed that so they could remove him and eliminate his influence.. his actions single handedly have created the situation where we have to fade, evade, leave marriages, say goodbye to family, just because we don't buy the jw bullsh!t anymore.
I needed a hero to save me from WT.
My brother tried to wake me up decades ago. I wouldn't listen.
Ray wrote his insider's version of the GB in a kind but straight, forward manner.
Ray wrote it, I read it, the rest is history.
Thank you for writing in a way that cut through all the red tape and got to the meat of the matter.
Yes, in my book, Ray was my hero.

i occasionally pop through here to catch up on the latest, but this time i'm going to pop my own post on here.. some of you internet oldsters may even remember this.
my first experience on the internet regarding discussions about jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower took place on a now-obscure usenet group, before i eventually stumbled across hourglass2.. during those days, there was a poster who went by the name "prominent bethelite," an otherwise anonymous individual whom i remember most for an extensive, exhaustive compilation of date-oriented remarks, predictions, and expectations by the watchtower organization down through the decades of its history.. it became known as "the list" and it's definitely lengthy... but a fascination look at the abundance of errant statements made through the watchtower's history.. if you're curious, it's been available for a long time on hourglass2's site, and can be seen using the link provided below.. the list, compiled by prominent bethelite (1999).
that's about it for this stop through here.
Thank you so much Timothy Kline!
I have just emailed the last page Key to Publications to myself so I can print all the pages of this fabulous historical work and send it out to a special friend.
Thank you so much for all your hard work.
