  I agree with you on that Diogenesister.

  Other people on the thread were saying that many people had offered to assist her with getting it published, though; it wasn't just him.

  I ran across an older thread about this subject on Reddit (it was started by Lloyd Evans, lol!).

  It sounds like Deborah Dykstra is not interested in publishing it, for some reason.

  Maybe at the time it went out of print there wasn't much of a market for it, but I'm sure there is now. I just Googled how many copies an average print run is and I read it was 3,000-5,000.

  Would it help if people pre-ordered/paid?

  I don't know anything about the industry.

  If their teaching was correct then their religion would be included in Babylon the Great, as many of their teachings have absolutely no scriptural support.

  Nonbelieving mates

  by road to nowhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a couple of my wife's friends are married to non witnesses.

  they say jehovah must have special plans for them.

  and that it is a special exception not destruction, alas, they are not attractive so my special idea about polygamy won't cut it.

  Geographical inaccuracies you cant shake

  where your mental image of a place does not match up with where you intellectually know it actually is?

  1. great britain: i always picture it to the west of france.

  if i'm reading about the norman invasion or d-day i always see it in my head as crossing the channel east-west / west-east.

  South America is mostly east of Florida. For some reason I had pictured it as being totally to the west.

  Dennis Christiansen release

  by riblah in

  2. current

  does anyone know exactly how/why he was arrested?

  i know it was for practicing the religion, but did he and others totally ignore the law in russia and continue meeting openly and going door to door or were they trying to avoid detection?

  did the gb instruct people there to either stop or continue activities there after it was outlawed (i'm sure there's nothing in writing)?.

  Someone I know said the GB immediately told them to stop going to meetings/door to door as soon as Russia outlawed it, and I was wondering if that was true.

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this from my book: good news for jehovah's witnesses.

  before we discuss any doctrinal issues, i would like to distinguish between what i believe is proper versus improper interpretive practice.... so you know what i can accept as biblical and what i can't accept.. basic guidelines for validating doctrinal claims`).

  i. there must be at least one scriptural reference that can be cited for support of any doctrinal claim or position.. ii.
