Hello Apognophos, I agree the journalist didn't appear too seasoned. They did get a great picture of JW.org...Could they get the sign any bigger????? I just noticed that they chose the logo to be blue, signifying of trust, honesty and loyalty. UGH!

Read rare, historic letters about the draft from WT attorney, Hayden Covington, written to a young JW man.

by AndersonsInfo in

for those who are interested in this subject, especially researchers and historians, i posted on my website extremely rare material dealing with one man's struggle to avoid being drafted into the us military for religious reasons.. this is a huge downloadable collection of correspondence between richard rawe, his draft board and government officials after he was ordered to report for military duty.

richard saved every letter and even the envelopes from the time he was called up for military duty when he was 18 in 1952 until 1960 when he was 26 and too old to be drafted.. what makes this collection unique and special is that there are many, many important private letters from watchtower attorney, hayden covington to richard containing instructions and advice.

this is historical material that allows us to peer into the legal mind of covington with regards to the draft situation during that time period.

brief summary:.

the jws, backed by county commissioners, contend they have a legal right to build an assembly hall in the jedd.

I guess the scriptures about 'pursuing peace' doesn't apply when real estate is concerned. Between the legal battles over property and the abuse lawsuits, I just wonder how big their legal team is. Funny, the JW's will all agree with the religious discrimination. So sad.

why did they have to butcher the kingdom melodies?

by purrpurr in

its not like there was anything wrong with them was there?

i used to love the old ones.

these new ones feel like the equivalent of a deflated balloon.. does anyone have the answer?.

In retrospect, that was one of the first changes to the new JW.org and the killing of the religion as we knew it.

how is it that some fade out of the org and others seem to be pushed?

i cant figure out how some persons like my husband and son, simply got too 'busy' and gradually stopped going to meetings, and were totally left alone, and yet some persons.

seem to indicate that people were constantly in persuit of them, for a way to disfellowship them.. the ones who fade never get 'disfellowshiped' unless they write a letter formally requesting thier name be of the membership.. just like the jw org tells people who get baptised to do to thier former church,.

i havent been to a meeting in a few months however it is also under a 'remodel' im sure im not missed.

My wife sees the lack of love and.. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

by BU2B in

in the past few weeks, my wife has been seeing more and more the lack of love and caring from jws.

for example, she is organizing a "princess party" for our 4 year old daughter.

a couple of the parents have expressed reservations about this since they think princesses may be "too magical" even though we know they have been to disneyworld, and watch the disney channel.

Congrats! Good advice so far....I'd like to add: validate, validate, validate.
