Thanks Steve Lowry. The really sad thing is that even after my sister was diss'ed for marrying a non-believer, my other sister left the country to get away from the Org, and I was diss'ed on the testimony of ONE eyewitness who during my Judical commitee retracted her statement, my mother still attends and still pioneers and still contributes £20 a month from her pension. I pray for her "turning point"

27Do you have a 'turning point' memory that started you to question?
by Steve Lowry inmine was when i was about ten years old or so back in the mid sixties.
we had a guy in our k.hall who actually lived through the 1914 experience (earl senior).
he was well into his seventies i guess even then and was one of the annointed.

The wife is busy putting the finishing touches on the meal. Her husband and their children are helping to make sure that everything is" in order. Yes, the whole family is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the guests and is looking forward to a delicious meal and fine fellowship.
I love these Watchtower illustrations. Not only are they pointless and irrelevant, they’re insulting too. How can this be used to illustrate the coming of Jehovah? Surely if you’ve invited someone to dinner, you would have given them a time to arrive. What happens if your guest turns up and the dinner isn’t ready? Using WT arguments, the guest would probably pull out a sword and murder the lot of 'em.
Our situation might be likened to that of individuals in a burning building. Would it be wise to run around frantically in order to retrieve material things from the blazing structure that is about to collapse?
Our life will abound with deeds of godly devotion if we seek God's Kingdom first. (Matthew 6:33) This involves our having a balanced view of material things.
Although it may be hard to picture ourselves becoming blinded by the love of money, we do well to note that "the anxiety of this system of things and the deceptive power of riches" can "choke the word" of God.
Makes me wonder why they bother buying so much real estate in the US. What’s the point if the building is burning? Amusing is the fact that this is a Corporation that generates almost a billion dollars a year, while members in poor countries have to conduct their meeting in a cow field while sharing a single copy of the WT. “Love of money”?…Idiots!
If we were to seek out such unclean Internet sites, we would certainly be ignoring the Bible’s command to "touch nothing unclean."
Didn’t take long before the Internet was attacked again. LOL at the “touch nothing unclean”. Personally, I wash mine, by hey, I’m not here to judge.
What I find amazing with these posts, is not how far the WTS tries to control the R&F, but the poor arguments, bad illustrations and shameless hypocracy that these gulible sheep allow to be shoved down their throats weekly. It really is quite amazing.
Looking forward to next weeks instalment. Now get in the kitchen and start making dinner woman!!!

When they announced that my younger brother was no longer an aproved associate. They hadn't informed him or my mother that they were going to announce this. He was about 16 at the time and he hadnt even been told what he was meant to have done. He never returned after that.

A few years ago some of my fellow fight fan\ Pay TV fight watchers over here in oz felt that Iron Mike could have taken Ali out. That was never a possibility
I disagree. I think Mike, in his prime and before the exesses of fame trapped him, would have beaten Ali hands down. I agree that the man has a few screws loose, and I dont feel pity for anyone who "looses" $100 million.But I love boxing and as far as I'm concerned we're never going to see anyone who was as exciting in the ring as Mike for a very long time. IMO, that is the reason he's still being wheeled out to fight...Coz there just isnt anyone around anymore.

Will the WTS Say that this News Article is from Satan?
by Funchback inat the recent district convention, it was hammered home time and again.. at the meetings, it is stated from the platform frequently.. the media is a tool of satan and we shouldn't believe everything we read about jws in the media.. however, in the wts' mind, only the negative media should not be believed.
but, if the media is positive, it will soon be printed in a wt magazine or read from the platform at a kingdom hall near you.. ----------------------------------------------.
