  in pictures of conventions or the new system they tend to show a mixture of races, but the angels always seem to be white.

  September KM - 70 alterations in Revelation Climax Book

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i can't find a thread on this subject yet - if there is one , please delete this one.. the september kingdom ministry has a 4 page insert detailing the 70 alterations in the revelation climax book which is due to be studied at the book study shortly.

  i'll provide scans if anyone is interested.. i will leave it up to more experienced analysts to examine the reasons for specific changes , but just a few brief observations for now:.

  p32 box - "they were completely exonerated" changed to "charges against them were dropped" - interesting change of terminology for the 1918 watchtower eight.

  I hated being told that we had to "love" but to hate everyone that wasn't a witness. I saw so many good "worldly" people and I hated being told they were all bad.

  My mother and I were followed more than once. And harrased on the phone. Sometimes we'd come home and there would be over 20 messages on the phone.

  How many out here.....

  by tazmaniac in

  1. watchtower

  how many out here know a loved one or know of someone who suffers from depression and it is from being in the borg and never feel you are doing enough.

  my ex wife would always lapse into a few month state of depression right after a visit from the c/o and getting pounded on about f/s hours or not enough studies or not enough pioneers yadda yadda yadda.

  i know with my ex that the constant fear of armageddon and feeling inadequate was a depression trigger ready to be pulled at any instant.

  Gordy, My heart goes out to you. This is certainly the place to be to find people who are going through similar things. My mom and sister and of course the congregations are shunning me. It is kinda strange though, I haven't been dissaccosiated or disfellowshipped that I know of. Anyway, I'm sorry and understand how hard this is.

  tell me folks, given that most of us can now not worry about what we listen to anymore.

  what are some of your favourite bands, singers or other performers?

  doesn't matter what kind of music, but it'd be interesting to see what some of you are into these days.

  her ladyship has just presented me with a wonderful sunday lunch.

  half a lobster as a starter, with salad garnish and vinaigrette.

  the main course comprised a sirloin steak, bubble and squeak, topped off with a fried ducks egg.
