  i just finished reading about kh in bonham, tx and it brought back a memory of something similar in trona, ca.

  i think it was late 70's or early 80's.

  it was a rumour i hear in mid 80's.

I heard a large number of the Trona, CA congregation left because a brother sent to help the congregation had a change of heart about who was going to heaven.This only a rumour I heard but I thought I would share.

  remember the drama about persecution,suffering, that a modern-day job experiences?

  the jw's under ban in a " landmark ruling", our faithful brother conversing with job in the new world, it' all too wonderful!

  especially job wearing pants and a tunic style shirt!

  Their ,suggestions, bcomin rules, rules becoming laws they have themslves in a corner and can't keep up with what they believe.

  They proved this because Job and his wife being together after A and holding hands should have been a non issue but their little rules backfired because everybody is so aware of the little "suggestions" it becomes a great big blunder.

  I accidently took one in the morning hours. It was an eyeopening day. I slept for a couple of hours, woke up and went thru the day but have no memory of anything I did until that evening. Lucky me my husband stayed very close and he feared I had suffered a stroke. I carried on conversations with different people and never rememberd I had even seen them.

  are they allowed to vomit all their jw crap everywhere on fb?

  i know they aren't supposed to have jw forums so i figured the same would apply to fb but not sure.. if there are any references, that would be great.

  My son who has been df'd for 18 years and has many of his JW cousins and friends still on FB with him. Occasionaly he will be defriended but not very often. I think many are still iding themselves as JWs for their parents. Most of these friends, cousins are in their 40 's. My BIL 79 would love to have a FB account but afraid of my sister. He is constantly asking who I have on my FB account, I tell him all your neices and nephews, a great way to keep up at a distance.

  Does the borg really produce great readers? How much did you actually read when in?

  by likeabird in

  i've been reading a lot and learning even more (project deadlines to meet), getting this overwhelming satisfaction and feeling good.. and then i stopped and realised that i never got that feeling when reading borg publications.. i also realized that i have probably read more non-fiction books in the last month than i did during my whole life in the borg.. for all my reading (and i was fully in) i read no more than two wt books cover to cover.

  none of my study books were studied cover to cover and wts were usually quickly underlined and rarely properly studied.

  magazines were usually flicked through and resolutions to read them cover to cover rarely lasted more than a few weeks.. i did manage to read the bible through once - but that was because i was always afraid someone door to door would ask me if i had, so i figured i should just crack on with it.
