without specifics being mentioned as to what it is......(to avoid tipping off certain lurkers).. how many people know about the upcoming summer long campaign?
please use this thread to confirm receipt of your campaign invitation.
take care.

seeker4 - robert smith from vermont.
former jw, elder, pioneer, etc.
i've got a few thousand posts on these sites, but haven't posted for a year or two.
Hi Seeker4!
I'm still here but read more than I post. I don't come here nearly as much as I used to, but probably stop by at least once a week. I remember you from way back in the H20 days! :-) Time sure does fly!

Rhode Island here also.
my daughter is in the hospital with pneumonia, and possibly a blood clot in her lung.
they'll be testing through the night...apparently, her heart is enlarged as well.
she is scared... and if her jw father catches wind of it, he will be there trying to intefere with her treatment... he lives close by to her, so i'll be flying down in the morning....to head him off at the pass.
((((Coffee_Black))))
You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Sounds like things are looking brighter as of right now!!!!

something i've been meaning to ask for a while since coming here, is wsup with the writing department's use of exclamation points?
i'm no literature buff or anything, but to me personally, the exclamation points cheapen whatever they're trying to get across.
here's some examples from the new jeremiah book.. how thankful we can be for the teaching done by christian shepherds!.
At least the writers in Writing are restrained from using ALL CAPS TO TRY AND MAKE THINGS EXCITING FOR THE SHEEPLES!
I've missed you Billy the EB ! WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find ,and did find in my years "in", VERY annoying! The writing AND the overuse of exclamation points !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I think the WT should have used more exclamation points in this one :

he just stepped down as an elder recently to work on his family life.
(((((((((TweetieBird)))))))))
I'm sorry too. For his family and for the person he murdered's family.
And I'm so very sorry that this was someone you knew personally.

ted jaracz on watchtower child protection policy.
iknowall558,
You posted this BEFORE we were informed that Ted had passed on. So don't feel bad at all.
And that does not change one bit his answer. For that was his answer WHEN HE WAS WELL ENOUGH TO SPEAK AT WT CONVENTIONS AND ACCEPT AT LEAST 5 MINUTE OVATIONS from the followers of the WT at the WT conventions.
Whether he changed his mind about the privacy laws in Britain and how those laws had anything to do with the list of pedophiles WORLDWIDE the WTS INC. OF NY,USA kept private from even authorities WORLDWIDE, we'll never know.
