  Do you have all your WT literature? If so why?

  many on this board are still in and have all the literature.

  do you read all your books regularly?

  do you have old magazines that you have underlined and still keep?

  My library goes back to the 1950's any beyond. It’s been in the garage 4 years. I'm saving it for my child. If/when he is interested enough in learning the flip/flop doctrines, he will have proof of what I've been telling him and he will be able to reference changed passages. I do not trust jw.org. The WT has a history of erasing false predictions and dire warnings. TTATT will stand the test of time.

  The GB has proven that they are men of dishonestly and the kings of spin. Since they do not admit misdeeds, I hang on to the books. If he doesn’t choose to burn them maybe he can contribute to his college fund by selling them as collectibles on EBay. That would be the best possible use of them and it would give me a measure of satisfaction and closure.

  I have considered underlining and marking specific passages of TTATT in the literature for him, but somehow I never have found the time. I can think if 100 better things to do, than that.

  Kate, you wrote "There are many threads on this forum highlighting the dangerous doctrines and articles...." Yes, there are threads, but there is nothing like seeing in in black and white, and holding proof in your hand. I guess I'm a little old fashioned.

  All the Best! 4thgen

  A sister went to invite my mother to the memorial but got worried when she didnt answer the door so she called me to see if she was ok. She mentioned to me why she went to see her and told me the time. I am not sure she would have called me if my mom answered her door .

  there was a sister in my congregation that signed up to aux pioneer one month to put in 60 hours.

  we couldn't figure out why she was never at the arrangements, but yet she said she got in her time early in the month.

  we found out later that we wrote a letter that took her an hour.

  There was a brother since diseased who put a 3 minute scriptural message on his voicemail and counted the time on each call received. occassionally he would chanegethe message so he can count time PLUS return visits. He was a pioneer for about 5 years.

  When you donate to a nonprofit without hesitation or guilt.

  when someone sneezes and you say 'God bless you.'

  When you throw out all your pantihose because you know you never have to wear a skirt again.

  How do you get through the memorial?

  for family reasons, gorby and his wife and children has to visit the hall at april 14. our family accept that we are faders, but don't accept if we do not visit the memorial.. so, it seems a small investment: one evening love bombing for a year peace and rest.. but i hate the visit.

  headache.

  meeting the people knowing it's all fake love showing.. how do you get through it?.

  I concentrate real hard on what is being said and NOT said. Listening for spin and untruths.

  When that fails or I get too agitated, I look at the people and try to figure out why THEY are there.

  Garage Sales! Yes! There was a sister at our last hall who was known for that. She would even have parts on the Service Meeting. Others in my old halls thought that was deplorable.

  Just Kidding, yep you reminded me of that....I saw the golfing thing before. As a matter of fact, one of the brothers who were counting time, got beaned in the head while on the golf cart. It was a congregation joke for a long time. (Maybe he should have had his head examined!)

  Some hearty pioneers used to arrange an annual fishing trip into the wilderness. They ALWAYS brought a Bible study with them to count their time, while they were on the lake drinking beer.

  The sisters used a different approach. Theirs involved going to the mall.
