hi all - thought you might be interested in the instructions for the answer sheet for the new meeting - full document to follow:-.
"our christian life and ministry meeting answer sheetfor use by meeting chairman for weeks of january 4-25, 2016source material: new world translation of the holy scriptures [nwt] and thewatchtower [w].instructions: these review questions correspond to material found in treasuresfrom gods word.
well in advance, the meeting chairman should ensure that theelder or ministerial servant assigned a part during treasures from gods word willconsider the question and answer for the week.
It would be funny for someone to answer the questions with OLD understanding instead of PRESENT understandings.
If anyone says something about it, just respond; "Oh, I thought what I said was present understanding, i'm sorry, I have been suffering for a short term memory deficit."
how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.
how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.
how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.
On my own. Reading my sons world history book on the crapper, I noticed it said the fall of Babylon was in 586/587 instead of 607 as always thought. Did some internet searches on the topic that led me to some apostate info. I was determine not to read that so, I researched this period using non-apostate books from the university library.
That lead me to the H2O discussion forum. There I learned of Ray Franz book. Went back to the University library every day on my lunch break to read C of C because I was to paranoid to check it out. It took me about two months to read it 30 minutes at a time back in the corner of the library with another book in front of it, in case a JW happened to walk up and see me. It was all over after that.
Saw many people over the years at conventions with signs and never gave it a second look. Ironically it was things that were said from the convention platform that drove me away and the lack of love shown during one the worst crisis in my life.

Does this "list" have the names of victims on it? If no, I don't see where any personal information was asked for. I don't see where anyone asked for your personal information on this thread.
I got the impression the "list" is a list of preferable law firms to work with.
As long as ALL of the victims have access to this "list" then what really is the point of the OP? Warning the victims not to work with a specific law firm that in not on the "list" that apparently they already have access to?
way to early on a saturday morning we got a ring on our doorbell.
someone else answered the door.
after they left i walked by our entry way and gagged from the smell!
something occurred to me last night.
people that made their pilgrimage to jw mecca (bethel) would often be excited about some silly things, i say silly because for those of you who were there or lived near enough to be involved in these things regularly they lost their magic.
i am talking about on tours one of the most memorable things people talked about or looked forward to... lunch.
"Yes, it is no more than a factory tour. It should inspire one no more or less than that of any other company. But when one has the blinders on the most mundane things take on grand significance."
My Mother was one of these people. One year we toured the factory and she kept going on about "only in Jah's organization could this be done" as we watched the WT & Awake rags pumping out.
The brother giving the tour finally said, "Sister these same printing presses are used to print pornography at other places".
thank you all for your sincere encouragement during these last few weeks.
finally, she is at peace.
i was with her , holding her hand when she died.
jesus said "look to the fruits" of real christians.. it is unbelievable that the wt says that new anointed christians are merely false.
how can humans decide who is anointed and who's not?.
how can the watchtower society say these unchristian statements?
It would be fun to see a big jump in numbers in 2016, since the G.O.D says it's not anything to worry about.
We can help! Attend a memorial in 2016 where no one knows you. Tell the locals your one of the anointed and was passing through and couldn't miss the memorial, then partake.
If they ask for your name, just give them the name of some asshole elder.

mike huckabee thinks that sin and evil, not guns, are the reason the us has so many mass shootings.. if this is true, then all things being equal, the us has more evil and sinful people than the rest of the world.
who's to blame for that?
Haha...
If you threw on a "hank of hair" - J. F. Rutherford on those skeletons it could pass for a GB board meeting.
what is a cult and what is a religion?
its open to debate.
who has the authority to say for certain what is a cult and what is a religion?
We probably should give Richard a break if he is indeed young. The brain of a 14 year old is not fully formed especially with regard to higher critical thinking skills.
That said, I don't know many 14 y/o who know who Columbo is.
Richard, continue to ask questions and read up on cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias because that is what cults exploit in followers. You have demonstrated that here.
