i'm talking to her online right now, she's at her dad's house in new glarus, wi.
he's still a witness and she spends a great amount of summers with him.
evidently they had a deep, emotional heart to heart about religeon and jehovah's witnesses.
i'm happy for all of you.

.
i have a question.... i have looked on a lot of sites but cant find the daily text anywhere... does anyone know if the daily text is found on any of the jehovah's witness sites?
i appreciate all help.
eve's-lol
the answer is no, however, if you go onto dawn bible students website you can read reprinted zion's watchtower every day under daily manna.(if u like dry flour w/ honey) it's bout 100 yrs. old

there have been several posts here on depression, and i know many posters here have had to deal with depression.
heck we even have a section for depression related topics.
so i wanted to come here for a little advice, opinion on drugs for depression.
jo,
yeh, my family has something like 60 percent w/ some depression issue. some worse than others. i've been on paxil, but i like zoloft best. i'm going in this month for a more specific chemical workup. of course, being in the troof doesn't help. personally, i would go the natural route if u can afford it. no matter what though be careful, do the research. any of it can have side effects. exercise & baths r good too.

has anyone else noticed shakedowns in their area.
in my state whole service committee's (presiding overseer, service overseer, sectretary) have been replaced in many congregations including our's.
also, at the green bay convention and in many talks locally it seems there is a lot of hammering on the faithful and discreet slave.

i remember this from school............it was one of those short stories that were required reading.........i remember being totally swept away by it and deeply saddened by the ending.. .
daniel keyes wrote little sf but is highly regarded for one classic, flowers for algernon.
as a 1959 novella it won a hugo award; the 1966 novel-length expansion won a nebula.
yes, and i've seen the movie.
we know from ray franz's writing's how the gb used to work-but how does it work now?
who's really in charge?.

hi,
ray franz recently answered my e-mail. his reply was that the recent move of corporation officers was certainly done by the gb. he sees no evidence of anyone other than the gb being in charge(same as always). the corp. meeting pretty much is a "rubber stamp". there is no discussion of policy & everyone just says yes to the decisions already made.

a recent watchtower made this point about matt.
24:45-7 to prove this does apply to a collective group, not individuals scattered about.
'how could indivduals be appointed over all christ's belongings?

hi,
hey gary, that sure did give me a headache. but i guess it's the gb that did that-not u. i e-mailed ray franz on the subject @commentarypress. maybe he'll have some insight. i'll let u know if he responds. i asked my dad about this(he's an elder). he said (in his angry voice) 'i dont know why your asking but i dont think it really matters' i asked my uncle(who's a s.a. branch comm. member)-he said 'i don't think anything really changed' our secretary who was at patterson since the beginning gave insight on how some things are written. he said 'they basically pick out a bethelite they think is doing well & say 'here's everything we have written on this subject, here's some bible commentaries, go write an article.
