Coming out of the Woodwork
by Solzhenitsyn inwho was i to think that we would be left alone?
it has been a dream for 2+ months.
a few calls i let go to voicemail but now the wife and i are getting bombarded with text messages.. this isn't going to be easy.. since we're not looking to throw a grenade into decades of relationships, text replies thus far have been..."thank you so much.".

Jehovah's Witnesses and the Great Crowd
by Meshech inas jesus christ was preparing to go to his death, he encouraged his disciples with these words:.
"in my father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, i would have told you.
i go to prepare a place for you.

And if Jehovah and Jesus don`t even exist at all its all very meaningless .
Its puzzling to me why intelligent human beings in this day and age debate interpretations and meanings of writings of thousands of years ago who had no knowledge of the information that is at the fingertips of anybody who has a PC today.
If Jehovah ,Yahweh ,Jesus or any other God is going to destroy 8 Billion people simply because they can`t decipher correctly what was written down in an ancient language of thousands of years ago ,
Then I say stuff em ,their not worthy of my worship ,and they certainly don`t love humankind.

The Apprentice - Watchtower version
by catchthis inbeing a fan of the tv show the apprentice, i love to "play along" to see if my ideas would work with what the teams are tasked to accomplish.
many times, their ideas are totally off.
other times, the executives they are tasked with providing a presentation to feel that they had 'hit a home run.

Xmas, love it or leave it??
by DATA-DOG ini have to say that i’m not enjoying the xmas season.
i have no emotional ties and i’m spending money that i have not set aside for xmas during a slow work season for my trade.. i’m not happy about it, because it’s foolish to spend money when you aren’t making any.
then i feel like i’m expected to do all this, and to be happy about spending money and time on persons that i’m not that involved with.

Their was an Elder in the last KH I attended that said " you can be walking down the street and you can tell a witness by their Kingdom smile " I kid you not.
He was a nut case through & through .

Do elders still ask inactive members to write a letter to disassociating yourself from the Congregation?
by RULES & REGULATIONS indo today's elders ever meet with inactive members and pressure them to write a letter disassociating themselves from the congregation stating that, ''you no longer wish to a jehovah witness"?.
i was baptized at the young age of 16. after turning 18, i stopped attending meetings, field service, and all jehovah's witness activities.
i wanted to be with my high school friends, go to rock concerts, have a girlfriend, and live like a normal teen.

Do you have any assembly memories/stories?
by RisingEagle inon an earlier thread about ice cream i remembered a snack that was sold at assemblies and that started me thinking about some of my memories of childhood at conventions/assemblies.
i guess it was the taste/smell association because even today when i go to various convention halls for home improvement expos, car shows and the like it takes me right back to the past.
i have many memories wrapped around the conventions and experienced different things because i have lots of elders in the family that were used, literally, for food service, the accounting office, security and dramas.

The brother who converted me gave an experience of converting me at a CA in St Albans ,a suburb of Melbourne
around Nov 1960 when My then GF and I were Baptised ,so that we could be married in a KH in 1961.
He took so long about it that the brother after him who was supposed to give his experience didn`t get a chance to.
