i've been updating the links at my web site and i'm working on the gtjbrooklyn pages now.
what would you say are the several biggest changesin the jws organization/rules in the last five years or so?
The most notable change I've seen is the apathy that has invaded the borg. No more urgency. I hear more and more lifers sarcastically mentioning how we "should have been in the Paradise by now"!
The migration away from all religion has started and is especially noticeable among the 'cult' religions.

WOW!
Great post. As I near 70, my sex life has really improved. My wife, of 50 years, and I have sex almost every night! Don't laugh it's true!
We almost have sex on Monday night!
We almost have sex on Tuesday night!
We almost have sex on Wednesday night!
Etc., Etc.
As you can see, I'm worn out!

hey guys.
i've decided that during this time of being dfed, maybe trying to get reinstated, i'm going to enjoy my time with myself.
that being said, i would like to do some traveling when the weather warms up across the us.
Why not visit Brooklyn Bethel, the worldwide headquarters of God's earthly organization. I hear it's lovely there. Err, I mean lonely there!

back in my teen years this story swept through jw land, that according to, the guinness book of records , freddy franz, was listed as one of the seven, most intelligent , men in the world.
dose anyone else remember this?
i remember trying to look it up, but never found anything in print, and ii point that out once or twice , and was told a co, had told about it, and he wouldn't lie!
Freddy was a legend--------------in his own mind!

just a reminder if you haven't, to get it back before they sell any more halls.even if you're currently da/df you can still collect any monies owed you by the kingdom hall as far as loans go.we were able to get back $1000 that my mom had loaned the local hall for a loan to build new one.it was documented by the paper that had been given each publisher back then on how much they could/would be willing to give as an outright donation or a loan.
the loan was to be paid back whenever the publisher requested it.
(not a specific date)i can't help but feel that a lot of the old timers that loaned monies to the society and/or k-halls have been forgot about by them or their families.
NO! Like a fool, back in my "gung ho", "holier than thou" days, I gave $5k toward building our new KH. Now that I'm retired, I could certainly use that $5k for 'drugs, sex, and rock and roll'. lol

was a man made date when jesus came and that a generation is not 102 plus years.. why not say something like this.when the disciples asked jesus for a sign and the end of the age.jesus gave them a composite sign and said all these things will take place.when-before the people now living(at the end of the age which no one knows)have all died..
I agree with OTWO
the gb bit off more than they can chew.
they promised that the nwt revised would be available in so many languages by now, and they have failed miserably.. english stands alone.
as a result, they are in damage control mode.
It's an American religion. Started in America, headquartered in America, all gb members live in America, and jehober loves English much better than other languages.
God bless America!

these numbers and letters:--gbr659967--are the only identifying markson this boe..the "informant" who sent it said:.
"this letter came through the congregation inbox and so hasn't got theusual identifying information.
the name of the file is probably thebest way to identify it.
As time passes, the WT will slowly start destroying it's criminal past. Can't do it too fast or it will raise red flags even among the 'company men' but it's definitely starting.

the organization has many problems.
certain doctrines are problematic.
the men who run the organizaion have issues.
Great post!
To me the WT has become WTF! Constantly changing their history and stance on doctrine is a sure sign of instability. I was a jw for over 50 years and finally woke the f*%K up!
Mama's religion and I bought it hook line and sinker, 'cause it's all I knew and was relatively happy until I started losing friends to the 'blood' doctrine. Then I looked! It was like opening Pandora's box for sure.
It's not "too big to fail" imho and is definitely suffering from the internet's exposure.

february 8-14 asstower is titled " a living translation of god's word.
note paragraph 4:.
“4 despite the clear evidence that the personal name of god belongs in the bible, many translations completely omit the sacred name of god.
Interesting that jehober could use his super godly powers to make sure that his "written, inspired word" was ACCURATELY preserved down through history but he couldn't see to it that his NAME was properly preserved. So everything in the bible extremely reliable except where the divinely guided copyists omitted his name? lol
