A letter arrived in the mail
by truthseeker inmy wife received a letter in the mail from a jw she had known from school.
we have seen this sister about twice in the last ten years; the last occasion was 4 years ago.
she lives in another congregation a few miles away.. this sister heard that we had been "recently discouraged" - those were her words.

New songbook, 2 years later
by WTWizard innow that it has been almost 2 years since they released that flop sing to jehovah, i wonder how much the singing has improved.
i remember hearing a lot about how the singing was horrible when the book was first released.
however, i wonder how many have figured out how to sing those songs.

Notorious A**hole Christopher Hitchens Thrown Into The Eternal Flames Of Gehenna
by Philadelphia Ponos inthe first time i heard of christopher hitchens was today when his named was mentioned multiple times in the comment section of a youtube video.
after reading a brief summary of his life, it became clear that this guy was a complete douche-bag.
a very arrogant sarcastic bigoted f**k who looked down on everyone who didn't share his beliefs.

I just noticed, with the 6/15 WT last year, they 'apostasised" themselves
by EndofMysteries inup to the 10/95 awake it had on the fine print about the generation of 1914, it was erased from then on.
the 11/95 watchtower then said this on page 17, "eager to see the end of this evil system, jehovah's people have at times speculated about the time when the "great tribulation" would break out, even tying this to calculations of what is the lifetime of a generation since 1914. however, we "bring a heart of wisdom in," not by speculating about how many years or days make up a generation..... .
so they pretty much blame the membership for believing that those alive since 1914 or what makes the generation on them for believing, even though they themselves had taught it.

Weird JW Dreams
by MrFreeze ini think it's a given that most of us who have left, have had dreams about still being jw's or doing jw related things, even years after we left.
i had one of those last night.
it involved getting a hotel for the next district convention and then it skipped ahead to when i was attending.
