HELP Please!!!
by RichieRich inok, so remember this guy: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/104535/1.ashx ?.
brief overview... black college professor / lawyer, recently came in the truth... yadda yadda.. well, i worked with him out in service, and we were talking about mormanism, and he said that he knew mormanism was wrong because they once taught that black folks couldnt go to heaven, but then they magically changed and said they could.
so then i asked him how he felt about the society's old stance on black people.

"Cornered" a street cornerer today
by Jez inthought today that i would try to get some questions answered.
i wanted to see if he could answer my concerns and was looking forward to a nice discussion or some peace regarding some things that are driving me crazy.. so, i saw this older 'wise' looking gentleman on the street holding up some mags.
so, i approached him.

Another wine from the Apostates' Restaurant
by ozziepost inlast night mrs ozzie and i were enjoying yet another delectable feast at the apostates' restaurant, just down the road from australia bethel, and needed a top wine to complement it.. so what did we order from their cellar?.
we thought a change was in order from the familiar devil's lair shiraz (an appropriate label for the apostates' restaurant don't you think?
) so we selected this one from that great guy brian mcguigan:.

Question for Ozziepost
by stillajwexelder inso today i was in kansas city shopping for wine and i purchased a bottle of yalumba barossa shiraz (2002 but only because it had a higher robert parker rating than the 2001) and it was $15.99 - just had a glass.
absolutely wonderful.
another ass-kicking wine from south easet australia.. have you had this wine and how did you rate it?

A "friend" has died.
by Nellie ini met this man 17 years ago - new to the city, he was an elder in the congregation.
his personality was warm and loud - (a new yorker, of course) -- i had left home, but i was reminded of home every time he opened his mouth.
one of the most endearing things about him was the way he pronounced jehovah - with an "er" at the end, more like jehover... boy was he loud and warm.

OK, I't My Turn As The Newbie
by BlackPearl ini'm not sure where to start, probably in two major areas.
mechanics thing, that can't work, and what i see as the lack of true love in the brotherhood.
i've been in "the truth" or lack thereof, for about 30 years, give or take a little.

This may be my last postÂ…so goodbye and thanks
by seven006 ini never thought i would do one of those infamous goodbye i cant take this board anymore posts where the person shows up again a week later and looks like an idiot.
when i had enough of this board and needed a little break i would just quietly leave for a few months and hopefully nobody noticed.
that is not the case this time.

Help! My parents want to take my daughter to meetings!
by montana96 ini have a problem that im hoping you can all help me with.. my daughter who is now 11 was devastated when we left.
she loved it, our fault we did everything by th book.

If she was brought up as a jehovahs wittness it will take time so be patient and arrange activities and arrange for a school friend to come along but the most important thing dont let her spend much time alone with your parents (well meaning as they may be) they will try to indoctrinate her that will confuse and make her a very unhappy little girl you cannot tell her about the organization at this stage she is too young just love her and spend a lot of time with her. All the very best.
