  Did doctrine matter to you? Does it matter to most dubs now?

  minimus started a great thread a few days ago asking what was "it" that finally made you leave the "truth"?.

  the replies showed that, for the most part, it was the unloving, uncaring attitude displayed by most of the 'brothers & sisters' - elders particularly.

  some posters even made the point that this lack of love drove them out despite them harbouring fears that they might actually be leaving the truth.

  I suspect tho that those who did not leave for doctrinal reasons are more likely to retain "witness" beliefs despite no longer being in the "organization". Leolaia

  Oh, this has to be related to this thing I saw on the news about a "solver" hired by Michael Jackson and other Hoolywood stars to make difficult situations go away. Well, turns out this was a very shifty guy and he did some illegal stuff he's now being investigated for. I don't remember if it was for fraud or something else, but it turns out this guy spied on his own clients with wiretaps and his office had files and files and files of transcripts of private conversations with Michael Jackson and other clients. Sounds like he was doing this for blackmail, perhaps. Anyway, all of that is now in police custody and they said on the news that if this privileged information got out, it would be the biggest scandal in Hollywood history. So the search warrant at Neverland Ranch, if true, may have nothing to do with MJ per se (at least at first), but to collect evidence on this other guy....but who knows, maybe they're acting on tips found in his secret files.

  Oh I definitely remember the 1984 date. I first heard about it at the book study, a number of the brothers were gossiping about it. Speculating on the shakeup at Bethel as a sign of the end. My first thought was oh goodie I won't have to go to high school....autumn 1984, when Armageddon was rumored to happen, was to be the start of my freshmen year. But as time wore on it wasn't mentioned anymore and so i kinda forgot about it and wasn't surprised to see it come and go. They were even more tentative on 1986. Then I left before all the speculation at the end of the Cold War. My mom was a real estate agent. She tried hard to convince the elders to purchase a new kingdom hall throughout the '80s....our current one was badly overcrowded, aging, somewhat far away, and they had a great property they were considering, but the elders decided against it, because Armageddon was so very close...and my mom was incredulous that they didn't even want to prepare for the future just in case. It wasn't until half a decade later they were forced to get a new hall and by then, with property prices, they had to settle on a hall about five or six times the distance away as their current hall, with quite a long drive to and fro.
