I remember the 70's when we had 7 days and the food lines were under tents standing up as you ate.The days were very long and tiring ,not refreshing at all.

The silent cancer in the organization
by truthseeker incancer is one of the worlds biggest killers.
some people discover they have cancer early and they can have it quickly removed and be cured.
others are not so lucky.

Very good Truthseeker.The Society wants to stifle doubts and call it spiritual weakness.When Thomas doubted about the Resurrected Jesus,Jesus did not stifle him ,but,addressed his doubt with a personal answer by appearing to him and settling his doubt once and for all.Not so the Society!
This forum is answering the call of all doubters,by imitating Jesus and supplying evidence to answer all the doubts that many in the org.are having.
So,it is not wrong to doubt,what is wrong for the Society is to suppress those doubts,because they know that those doubters have good reason to doubt the Society.

My wife and I thoughly enjoyed your review of the s.a.d.while having our breakfast together this morning.
About the s.a.d. really being a money grabbing day,I got to tell you,once when I was allowed into the special "COUNTING ROOM",I personally saw the 'MONEY'laid out on the table as the brothers were separating the ( sheep from the goats ) just kidding !
They were separating the ones, fives, tens,twenties,small change etc.Others were dumping the contribution boxes onto this big round table into a huge pile of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Blueblades,who gave plenty of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ over the years.

Blondie,you must compile all of your "Comments You Will Not Hear At The WT.Study"into one reference book.These comments are jewels.Your excellant compilation of past WT.Quotes and additional references out of the mouth of the Society to demonstrate that they don't know one iota of what they are talking about in these WT.study articles is brilliant.
Classifying all your efforts into one tome will help many more exit the Watchtower.I would certaintly purchase such a valuable source of information to add to my other collections that I have in my library.
To think that I use to give public talks on these 'one - sided presentations',and now seeing them for what they really are,how blind I was,but now I see.

PAID IN FULL?
by Blueblades injesus paid the price in full.why then have others been crucified,thrown to the wild beast,burned alive,and brutally treated if jesus went through the sufferings for christians.
what value can there be in this repetitive untold suffering of the innocent christian men woman and children?the price being paid in full already should satisfy justice,where is the justice in its continuance of horrible human suffering?is the price paid in full or not?.

90 YEARS,80 YEARS ?
by Blueblades inhey watchtower!

Because of the dating of the due time,all those years,many have gone after the Society,myself included.
If only I had understood LUKE 21:8,"He ( Jesus )said:"Look out that you are not misled;for many will come on the basis of my name,saying,I am he,and The due time has approached.DO NOT GO AFTER THEM. ( I could of saved my family from 30 odd years of soon,soon,soon.)
Any group or person that even hints that the due time has approached, to you,DO NOT ,DO NOT,GO AFTER THEM!
So,90 YEARS,80 YEARS,2005,2014,ANY HINT OF DATING THE DUE TIME.Such as the Watchtower has been doing and is still doing so with the clever word--SOON---means that Jesus does not sanction them,do not go after them ,Jesus does not go after them,so why should we .But,of cause,I'm only imagining all of this.

Hey Watchtower! It's coming up to 90 years since 1914 and the visible,oops,invisible presence of Christ's Kingdom???It's coming up to 80 years since 1925 and millions now living will never die???
It's coming up to 30 years since 1975 and who will conquer the world in the 1970's
It's coming up to 4 years since Paul spearheaded a preaching work that would end last century by the year 2,000???Although it's been about 2,000 years since he spearheaded that work,that you promised would end before the last century would end?
So, why the pressure to do more,to preach more?What's the next valid date,where is the new light promised since the restructuring of the Society that would free up the Governing Body to focus on feeding the flock new light and hopes and assurances that the new order,paradise will soon be here?
I have been checking all the articles released,the mags etc.I am still in the dark,what do you have to do to get some new light,hope and reassurance,where is the new order,when is paradise expected to be here.Don't tell me soon,I need you to be specific,I got a lot riding on you.I am one of the millions now living that you promised would see paradise.I'm 60 years old now,been serving for over 30 years.
My imaginary letter to the Governing Body that I know they will never read or respond to.

Hi Derrick! The Bible itself says at 1Corinthians 5:7"We walk by faith,not by sight".So,the christian hopes for the things not seen.His hope is not based on any objects,relics,things of physical sight.While Paul was talking about his heavenly hope,what he said demonstrates that Christianty is a Bible based belief of faith.
As to the Bible being HOLY and INSPIRED of and by God,well,that too is a question of faith,not sight.This faith is something that only the individual can arrive at by personal conviction,so, ultimately it is all a matter of faith.
I am not convinced that the Bible is HOLY or INSPIRED of and by God.
