they were a hoot weren't they?.
1963-1965 Monday night ice skating in Pasadena in So Cal. Ladies got in free on Mondays. Got to meet other JW's from different congos. Great fun and nice to meet girls not in your cong. Just clean fun without WT supervision. Part of the good times I had as a young JW.

does a new convert have to be approved for baptism by the elders or someone similar i wonder?.
years ago, at a circuit assembly, i came across a young man whose jw father had thrown him out of the family home because of his abusiveness.
he'd got nowhere to go so he travelled south and finished up attending our local assembly.
Wonder why the first century Christians didn't need to be vetted with 100 questions before they got baptized? Their baptism was probably 'invalid'. Maybe that's the reason there was no "faithful and discreet slave" class until 1919.

"your web site is one of the best gifts that jehovah has given to people like me.n.f., sri lanka.. so, jehovah waited how many years until he could come out with a website as a gift?.
"caleb, the little boy in the jw.org video series become jehovahs friend, is now known all over the world".
maybe he is more famous than mickey mouse?.
It don't take much to get rank and file jw's excited. Remember every summer at the DC receiving a new release and all the dubs being just giddy about the new release. Then just a few years later we found out that all the 'stuff' in the new release was 'old light' and so now a new new release would be released to release us from the false information released from previous releases. i released my 'position' as an elder and dub due to too many false releases. Whew!

why, yes i am according to the jws.
this is an topic that has always irked me with the jws.
anyone who had a good paying job and nice things was materialistic.
Jesus walked or rode on donkeys to show he was not materialisic. Why do CO's and DO's need new cars every 4-5 years? Why does the WTBTS need a new, multi million dollar complex? Why do so many elders, MS's, and wannbe's need expensive suits, shirts, ties, and shoes?
Just asking!

divisions add to the hardship.
There was only a reference to 'a governing body' or 'the governing body' before 1972. Since then it's "Governing Body" captialized and an official title to be recognized and prayed for.

" no one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.".
now that the 8 most important men on earth, the governing body, have been revealed as the faithful and discreet slave, to whom all the masters.
belongings have been given, now that the most important news of the the 21st century has been brought to light, it is time for the world to be informed.. therefore, 2014 will become the year in which all world leaders will be informed that to survive, and to help the people of their respective nations to survive,.
It always struck me as odd that the first century 'governing body' appears in print in lower case letters but the modern day 'Governing Body' in upper case letters. Is that because the modern day 'Governing Body' is a proper noun due to the fact that they appointed themselves and the first century 'governing body' is a common noun due to the fact that they were appointed by Holy Spirit?

will this wake any jw's up to how they have more in common with other sects than they believe?.
I'm looking forward to when JW's start giving away hot dogs at their rolling carts. "Junk food at the proper time"!
did you have any favourite books by the society when you were in ?not that this book was my fav.
yet it was the first book i read learning about jw`s.
" from paradise lost to paradise regained " i know , it was designed for the young , however my mentor thought that since i had no understaning of the bible it was what i needed.
I liked the "Babylon" book. It really illustrated how crazy Fred Franz really was.
