Does anyone have a photo copy they can share of a TMS topic?

by jojorabbit in

i am looking for a tms that was published in the early 70s that said many have sold homes to go where the need was great, this is a fine way to spend ones time in the last days.

i am trying to remember how it was said to the best of my knowledge but this is close.

gonebad, I have that very BV. I just acquired a hard to find. 1947 BV that says the Catholic Excommunication is evil and unbiblical. The JWs did say all these things. The recordings of the talks "Stay Alive Till 75!" are still around. It was no secret at the time they were pushing the idea that the end would come in 1975. I know of several family's in my area that quit jobs and moved to the country side in my area. After that came and went many said they did not move to the rural areas for 1975. It was just a move. LOL they are lying through their teeth. Such cognitive dissonance and delusion JWs have to live it.

Its funny, but they are always hiding old writings. As time goes on they have more and more they have to hide. This group is so full of crap its crazy. I know of several older ones who are changing their mind because they are in their 80s and nothing not one thing has happened the way they were told it would. Old people trying to live off of Social Security because they put nothing away for retirement and now can not work. Its sad, they made their bed but its sad.

Links to articles of letter of recomendation

i am new to this forum.

i was a former jehovah's witness for many years.

i have a question maybe some of you can help me with.

Titch, thanks for the reply. Yes exactly, it was a figurative letter nothing tangible. As far as being a JW I was born in and a JW for about 30 years give or take. I left in the late 90s and never looked back except for research and learning more about my former nutso religion I was part of. I was just looking for my CD I think it was called 1995 JW library. I can not remember how far back that went into archived JW printings. I was going to search it to see if that phrase was ever used in the writings. Thanks for the reply.

Blondie, you are taking a deep dive into why they use the term or how they viewed it. This is not where I was going with this. I don't know who started the use of it or if it was from someone an upper level or a phrase coined by a rank and file member. This was not about justification of the idea or not or if god exists or not or if Jesus was are real person of not. I wanted to know how many are old enough or were in the religion long enough ago to remember the use of the phrase. It was not something regional. I heard this used from the north Midwest to parts of Florida we would visit in winter as a kid with my JW family and go to local meetings and service there.

I clearly remember it used relatively commonly up to the late 70s. After the early 80s not so much. I have a post on other JW sites and several older ones remember it used also. It has nothing to do with an actual letter and many younger ones keep confusing it with a letter of recommendation sent from one congregation to another when a JW moves or switches congregation's. This was an idea that by saving a life it was somehow recognized by Jehovah and was some kind of extra point for lack of a better term for one to live through Armageddon.

To analyze the teaching of an insane group like the JWs and try to put things in some frame of coherent ideology is a bit mad. the fact is it was used. I don't know how official of an idea or phrase it was but it was used. Now it could be that it was like the use of the phrase "that is my after Armageddon home" When in service. I have heard COs say this when in service and it was quite wide spread. I don't know if its still talked about or not like this by JWs.

There are many catch phrases the JWs have used and were quite wide spread. Mother, the friends, meat in due season, the truth, real life, the prize, sheep like ones, the book study, TMS, the new system of things, goat like ones, Jehovah's Happy People, door to door, return visit. The list is very long on all the special phrases and words they created over the years. Some are in the printed literature some are not. I don't know if anyone knows for sure if letter of recommendation was ever in the literature or not but it would be nice to search a data base for it.

I never really understood why it was better for you if one of your studies were baptized or if you just went out in service and tried your best. Why should you get a brownie point because someone decided to come into the group. What if that person later left the group? Would that mean you lose your letter?

As far as I remember it was not any kind of actual letter it was more of a brownie point for you with Jehovah.

HI to all. I am new to this forum. I was a former Jehovah's Witness for many years. I have a question maybe some of you can help me with. Back in the 70s and earlier, the Witnesses would say if you bring someone into the truth you would get a "letter of recommendation" That was to show you were a person who should make it through the end times into the new world. I have not seen that in any of the writings. I can not remember clearly if that was just something we would say of if it was indeed in some of the older writings. If anyone knows the answer I would really appreciate it.
