do you remember these two gems of spiritual insight?

``at times explanations given by jehovah's visible organization have shown adjustments, seemingly to previous points of view.

but this has not actually been the case.

hello there i would like to tell a story that will shock you.

this is how it all started... my sister at 19 was planning to marry a brother into the kingdom hall, she was not yet baptized so she was trying to keep her marriage plans a secret.

a couple of weeks from her marriage the elders of the congretation found out and contacted my mother whom we were still living with.

where were you when the world ended?

being raised by a single mom was bad enuff for me, a hard headed boy.

add to that a mom that was in and out of the jw's all my life and you can see where the potential for disaster for me came from.. none of you know me, i just found this site while doing research on the death of someone in california (ex-jw).

i like what i see, for the most part.. i was raised from a young age with the threat of death in 1974-75 if i wasnt a good witness.

Richard Scarry's Best Field Service Story--EVER
by LDH in
1. jw
2. friends
ok so pardon me for the take off on richard scarry--he really is one of my favorite all time children's authors.. but i had to share this field service story with you--it's the gospel truth!

hopefully, you can add some of yours.. while pioneering in upstate ny, my sister and i had frequent occasions to work in service with a married pioneer couple.

yes, they were window washers, but that's not the real story here.. they had a return visit on an elderly gentleman who was kind enough to take the magazines every once in a while.

depression and why JW's don't reconize it

well as you know unless you are an elders son or daughter generally jw's don't lift a finger to help all those ones feeling downtrodden and lonely.

i felt like this from july 1994 to march 2000. i prayed to jehovah constantly for help to ease the loneliness, i begged the elders and even others.

for a long time the only ones who would talk to me where the elderly ones(who i miss now since i left) i cried every night and felt after five years of being at meetings and feeling invisable (even though i was an auxillary pioneer) i decided that my life was worth fighting for.

(the david bowie song in case you're wondering).

there seems to be a lot of talk and speculation about the changes that are coming at the next district conventions.

there have certainly been quite a few articles and talks (esp.
