for me, that happy day was in morro bay, calif. it was the fall, oct 1958 or 9. gorgeous weather.
the sun was shining and the wind was coming off of the ocean.. at that time, morro bay was unassigned territory.. talesin on another thread was talking about a lovely day she had, going with her grandfather, talking with a mr languages.
lol.
When I was 15 and the woman who answered the door was completly nakid. I was just glad it wasn't my turn to talk so I got to take it all in.
Then there was that time I got sick and threw up in an elders new car before getting to the first door. Hey, I hold my parents I was sick and shouldn't go.
i wanted to express appreciation to the members of this forum.
there are resources here that are deep.
like we heard from the stage, "what is your depth and breadth of bible knowledge?
Welcome ML. It's encouraging to know that there are some JW with integrity and care about victims more than saving face for the WT.
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.
Thanks

That guy should have some new roofing vents installed, like this guy did.....
hello there i am new to the faith and have been studying for about a month.
i am very excited and hungry for the truth and have not missed a meeting or study since the memorial.
we do about 2 bible studies a week.
One of my JW relatives was reported on by another JW for using the YMCA swimming pool. They had to stop going after pressure from the elders. This was 2 years ago.
This is still the JW stand and has been at least as far back as the 1970s.
.. the new wbt$ donation arrangement/ jw kingdom hall bank account theft... is a very hot topic right now... the wbt$ is literally going to clean out kingdom hall bank accounts,filled with donations from jws... that theft is going to happen world wide..the wbt$ is going to steal from 7 million plus jw`s... .. we have jw elders here on jwn,that know whats going on... they "serve" in kingdom halls,they are "supposed" to be looking after the welfare of the average jw... they know there is a 4 page letter,only one page will be read to the congregation..the rest will be kept secret... they know the wbt$ is about to steal jw donations..on a world wide scale!!!...
.. i would like to know what you active jw elders are going to do about this??!!...
are you going to let "your" congregation know about the other 3 secret pages?...
The active ones I've spoken to have indicated that they see it as a loving arrangement.
Of course they would. Does that absolve JW elders from doing the right thing taking a stand on this issue? As long as the wool remains pulled over the eyes of the flock.... its all good?
Most who fall victim to a con don't realize it until it's to late.
The WTBT$ is the Bernie Maddoff of religion.
Unfortuanatly many JW elders are just agents for the Watchtower. They are loyal to the GB not the flock they claim to protect.
It's really sad to see good trusting people getting ripped off by these criminals. It's even sadder that elders who are awake to TTATT stand by and say nothing.
across that stage tommorrow dressed in graduate garb picking up a masters degree.. .

Well done!
hello, you read it here first!.
governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
to all congregations.
This could also be related to the pedo problem. If the legal department wants to do a background check on every recommendation but don't want this type of news to reach down to the congregation level where they would be admitting that they have a pedo problem while trying to protect their liability it would make perfect sense to limit the number of people in the know about this type of proceedure change.
We have seen the letter sent to congregations. What about proceedure changes for the COs? Do we know about those?
By moving this to the CO level who would work directly with legal on background checks they could do a better job of minimizing liability while at the same time keeping the lid on the pedo problem at the congregation level.
i regularly watch family feud.. homeland is a great show i watch every week, when it's in season.. metv has so many great programs---from taxi to the twilight zone.. what do you like watching?
?.
Wild Things with Dommnic is great! His knowlege of the creatures he comes across and high risk makes for interesting viewing.
Game of Stones is interesting, I'm sure much of it is fake or set up but I don't want to google to find out because I like the show.
Bates Motel for drama.
one of my best friend's, who is an ex elder had two elders visit him at his home yesterday to invite him to the memorial.
he was cordial to them because they were'nt over the top.. so far, i have had no invites, thank god..
Stirred, Thank you and Welcome to the forum!
