  After being touted for years as sterling examples of exemplary devoted publishers and in particular Pioneers there has been the Dramatic decline.

  Has this been discussed here? Would love to see what has been speculated as to the reason for this !

  ... The Teacher Appears

  text: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s2nu2bw_em6i9kp7wugj4yjqmhps2yio-ytehl4jbmy/edit?usp=sharingthe teacher appears.

  he was paul miyoshi.. i passed by him; he raised his head with flashing white hair and set his gaze serenely upon me that first time.

  the pupils of his eyes were black, mysterious, as from another world.“konichiwa” he spoke with a smile wrapped in mischief.. there had been a slight bow which triggered a mirrored response.. over the next year and a half, i’d get to know this man much in the way a box within a box reveals more boxes.

  Anthony Morris III Autobiography ... The Real Truth

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower published anthony morris iii's autobiography last year ... "remembering my first love has helped me to endure" by anthony morris iii.

  i absolutely cannot believe how quickly he became a jehovah's witness.

  in the span of less than a year, he attended his first meeting, studied, got baptized, became a pioneer, and married a jw girl.

  "OH MY VERTIGO" by K. Kuspa

  Oh, I spun so hard, the other night
  I thought I was a top
  I laid my head and tried to rest,
  But it just would not stop!
  ---
  2.
  Oh, the doctor said it was my ear,
  The next said it was stress
  Another gave me happy pills
  He said I was depressed.
  
  -------------
  [CHORUS]
  
  *OH, my vertigo!
  *What have you done to me!
  *I have left the land of sanity
  *And am spinning endlessly!

  The fourth said my neck was messed up
  The vertebrae were skewed
  So I went into traction
  Just to please this fancy dude!

  Another doctor saw me
  She said it was migraine
  and then she plainly told me
  not to come back again!
  -------------
  
  [CHORUS]
  
  ------------

  Another said I'd had a stroke,
  Another said, "AMEN!"
  The eighth, she said, "A PLF!"
  The ninth, he said "MM!"

  My HMO is sick of me,
  but "they'll do what they can;"
  But then, I heard--it was a joke!
  I was not in their plan!

  See the new Dutch assembly hall

  by Anders Andersen in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...it looks like a generic, easy to sell barn hall.. https://youtu.be/eqwrfhbbqwy.

  nothing like the old hall it's built next to.. the small room in the video is the indoctrination education center.. the building is completed one year ahead of schedule.

  my guess: it's either much simpler than they originally planned, and/or they had more volunteers because nothing else is being built.. video is dutch, but nothing interesting is said anyway..

  Nicolau: - "There is a smug hypocrisy amongst many believers on this forum in that having seen so clearly the fallacies and errors of their former JW beliefs they can now pontificate about 'accurate' bible truths."

  Bro Nic - Please elaborate a bit more on this cos I thought Van of the Courts was just relating his experience, given that the "hidden agenda" of door knockin JW's whether they realise it or not is to change ones whole way of life and thinking - and not allow you any wiggle room once you're in the "inner sanctum" - Geoffrey Jackass of Oz's testimony at the ARC was Pontificous [if there is such a word] Now that was smug ! And Hypocritical !

  The impression I get from you [its just an impression...so remain.....C a l m ....breathe ] is that you are in attack mode here - not sure why.

  To me being "free" of JW dot Org is a reason to celebrate - so if Bro and Sis R&S could get to think beyond the veil of indoctrination it would be a massive release for them - as it was for me !

  Groete !

  Possible two Leprosy cases in Riverside California elementary school. We have come a long way from the Bible GOD of the OT.

  by James Mixon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the earliest account of the disease appears in an egyptian papyrus around 1550 b.c.. hansen's or leprosy infected around 100-200 people in the u.s each year and most are.

  in the south, texas and louisiana no idea why.. in the bible leprosy is mentioned upwards of 40 times.

  the main reason why leprosy is talked.

  I think we are being shunned

  by Tallon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have not read all the discussions about the recent regional convention where the org is now ramping up the diabolical act of shunning.

  i am not sure as to which ‘category’ of persons it now applies.. my wife and i have faded over the past couple of years.

  our book-study conductor used to drop by to give us the magazines.

  Since fading we have been totally shunned and our former family and friends use the term............" you have left Jehovah " which is now the new tag for................"You're Apostate - you are to be avoided at all cost "

  Post the RC's in October in my country this will probably cement that situation !
