My daughter went from a baptized publisher to a mass attending Catholic. My other daughter has recently decided to raise my other grandkids as Catholic.

you would think it would put them off.. is it because the are so different or the same???????????.

Welcome Thaisun. I would love to hear more of your story. Have you considered writing a book? The organization in the sixties is such a mystery to me and to hear of you and your husbands recollections would be so enlightening. Please continue to post. Thank You, Carlton

How "old" is the oldest person who lived in your family?
by JH ini was just wondering how old can a person live.
my grandmother lived up to 97, almost 98. .
those born in 1914 are 92 years old and some are still alive.. i guess that no one lived over 120 years since the flood.. how "old" is the oldest person who lived in your family?

Uncle Earnest from eastern Kentucky (USA) died last year at 103. He was very active on his farm up to the last month of his life which he spent in a nursing home (which he hated). Grandma was 97 from Evansville, Indiana (USA).

In 1972 my brother asked who the leader of the WT was. I answered, Jesus. He thought I was being misled. I should have listened to him. It took 20 more years.

Great analysis, Drew. Very conservative to say the least. Along with this comes the compounding guilt one carried around for never meeting these requirements.

Re the "porn problem" elder.
by hamsterbait in.
they say if you are caught viewing porn etc.. will they insist on the two witless rule here, or will just one person saying they saw so and so looking at porn be accepted.. i suspect they will not, as most people in the world will not view most pornography as morally repellent, and so it might not bring shame on the fds.. hypocrites.. hb

I cannot believe that because I had two cases of brew in there, on top of all my "doubting questions". Hey Papajohn sit back with a brew and be glad. You are not alone and have family here. I had doubting questions and beer all my time in the truth (except 18 months to see if I could go without it). I always have Avery India Pale Ale and am a hophead. Any doubts about leavin' check out the books offered here if you haven't already. Live.

Sing to Jehovah song. In the eighties I combined the KM melodies tape of that song with the Moody Blues intro to "The Voice" from "Long Distance Voyager". I thought it was so cool. Ican't stand it when one of their hooks gets into me for the day.
