  Walter F. Salter

  hello everyone, this is my first strictly historical theme:.

  walter f. salter was the overseer of the branch office in canada in years 1918-1936. in 1936 he was dismissed from that function, and in 1937 he was disfellowshipped from the organization.. does anybody know his further history?

  did he join any christian denomination?

  30 years after leaving utterly unrecognisable

  this is the first time i have posted on here in many years..... i seldom visit now although this forum was instrumental to me in gaining my sanity in the early 2000's and recovering from the watchtower religion.. by chance tonight i was on youtube and caught a jw.org video which out of curiosity prompted me to look at the official website and amongst other things i looked up the music section.. why that i hear you ask?

  music is my passion and nothing reminds me more or evokes more memories than the kingdom songs i grew up listening to.. i am 49 years old and my mother was baptised in 1974. i grew up in the era of pink songbooks and green bibles.

  of the theology of fred franz and types and anti-types.

  @ Number 6:

  I have been pretty much out since 2015. The religion was becoming unrecognizable at that point. I’m in my 30’s and the old kingdom songs STILL bring up memories from my childhood. When I hear them, I think of the assemblies, older ones, field service, my family, etc. It’s hard to explain if these memories are good ones or bad, but they’re memories that that I will never forget and that stir up so much emotion within me.

  so one night i'm at a meeting.

  it's the beginning of the meeting and a brother is up on stage introducing the parts for the night.

  he's going through the parts and then he says, "...and apieceofshitnamedtate will be handling our bible highlights.".

  I thought of Jesus as a cool dude with a beard and a smile. Funny, because I almost used to be afraid of Jehovah.

  What would you talk about or ask when you ran into someone at an assembly?

  by Tenacious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember whenever we had an upcoming district assembly they would usually cancel the weekly meeting so it would be about 1 week (if you didn't do field service) until you would see members from your congregation again.

  and also other members from other congregations you may have attended in the past.

  do you remember how some members would embrace and scream for joy whenever they came across someone they hadn't seen in a while?
