Tophat said, "From my understanding, MJ was DA not D'F" In dub-land, it doesn't matter, actually most dubs despise those that DA themselves rather that being DF'd.

What is "the Report"?
by Kenneson ini just ran across http://www.livingwatersforum.com with its heading proclaiming: "the yorww congregation speaks as a 'voice in the wilderness' to all the congregations of jehovah's witnesses--isaiah 40:3.
" they consider themselves jehovah's witnesses and are concerned with the watchtower society's apostasy and are therefore calling all jehovah's witnesses to repentance.
their spokesperson is donald c. burney, who is also the author of "the report" book.

"The Report" is actually what took the blinders off my eyes. I remember having doubts about the organization and felt like something had changed and stumbled across their website. Since it was listed as "elders wanting reform" I felt like it wasn't apostacy to read it. It was the catalyst of learning the truth about the truth. It included a chapter from Ray Franz' book which prompted me to order and read CofC and then ISofCF. I actually saw the book, "The Report" in a book store and bought it and read it. I think they've changed their name now. For me, I've come to the conclusion that I don't want any part of organized religion ever again, but it did help to open my eyes.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I don't get to visit here much anymore. Someone forwarded me an email from a friend that said that 2 new brothers have been added to the GB. Their names are Geoffrey Jackson and Anthony Morris. Does anyone know anything about these 2 and why they were added? I used to have a DO by the name of Jackson (a black brother, good speaker but a little over the top with sappiness).

I live in Southern California, near San Diego, and I think it is absolutely beautiful with near perfect weather year-round. It would, IMHO, be the perfect place to live if it wasn't sooooo expensive and the traffic wasn't so bad. I'm not much for extreme heat or extreme cold (I hate the snow) so for me it's perfect.

"This Generation" change -- fallout evidence?
by reagan_oconnor ini was reading the recent posts on 2034 and was wondering... .
the 1975 debacle left the fds scrambling for explanations for the mass exodus of r&f who were disillusioned by their bs.
the pat answer has always been, "those people didn't keep pace with god's chariot" and they weren't "strong in the truth" and allowed something so "minor" to "stumble" them.

This was definitely the beginning of the end for me even though I still go to meetings, trying to fade but difficult with so many family in. Anyway, years prior to 1995, my "apostate" dad had told me that if they ever did away with the 1914 generation thing, it would be the end. A domino effect since so much hinged on 1914. At the time I was still a loyal dub and dismissed what he was saying but when they came out with this "new light" a lightbulb went off in my head. Couple that with access to the internet and then reading CofC it was all over for me. I just wish that I could muster up the strength to tell the family that I'm done. I feel like I've wasted the past 10 years pretending, spending 5 hours a week at meetingsand assemblies that make me want to puke.

Did society go against Jehovah's will?
by TweetieBird infor decades it was always stressed (especially in one of the pubs that came out in the 70's, i think the one about the thousand years) that one of the signs of the beginning of the great tribulation would be when they started taxing religion.
in another thread we were directed to http://www.bibletopics.com/biblestudy/84a.htm about the society going to court to support jimmy swaggert.
it seems to me that maybe the society was running ahead of jehovah by doing so, and the organization started on a downward spiral since then, ultimately slapping jehovah in the face by going to bed with the un.

Yes, but don't you know that Jehovah refined and cleansed the organization? That's why the brothers went to prison in 1919, as a refining process so from 1919 forward Jehovah's spirit would have been on the organization, right??? At least that is what most dubs would think.
