I know this may seem to simply to most of you, but it is really bugging me.
PS My hubby, who is pushing me to become a JW says he will read stuff I find out about the governing body. Well I told him I could prove that the TW and other JW publications had been prophecing the specfic date for the end of the word. Now he wants me to show him the publication, he won't believe anything I print off the internet. I think that will be pretty easy to prove.
Saying glad you all are here.

Or
duh
In general, duh (pronounced DUH, prolonging the UH, pitching the voice a bit low, and inflecting it with an intonation of imbecility or sarcasm or both, depending on the usage) is a colloquial comment on one's (or someone else's) lack of knowledge or brain power. In the Homer Simpson cartoon, duh is spelled "d'oh."
Here are some usages:
1) It can be used as an epithet when confounded by new technology. For example, someone unfamiliar with computers looking at a user interface for the first time, might say "Duh" out loud and to no one in particular. In this usage, duh expresses the state of being "totally clueless."
2) A common use of duh is to confess an error.
3) Another common use is to suggest to someone that you are telling them something obvious, but you're telling them anyway because you don't expect that they are all that bright.
4) It's also widely used in personal home pages as a kind of self-deprecating introduction.
On second thought did you mean DUB? DUB=the phonetic of the middle syllable in the term JW... Jehovahs Witness. A disparaging term often deserved..
Oh and good to make your acquaintance inlove
Hi inlove!
Welcome to the forum. I believe you do mean DUB. JW ( DUB )- like George DUBYA Bush.
Did I just confuse you more? Sorry. Let me know.

Hello inlove and welcome to JWD!
Now he wants me to show him the publication, he won't believe anything I print off the internet. I think that will be pretty easy to prove.

That should get you started on some great information you can show hubby.
(What does DUH Stand for?)
Check out this website:
Have fun!
I suggest you write down the WT references given at this Quotes site:
http://www.reexamine.org/quotes/admin-site-map.htm#beliefs
All the dates are listed in the right-hand column: 1840, 1872, 1874, 1878, 1914, 1918, 1925, 1975
Sadly, many of these early publications are out of print by the society. Makes one wonder what is shady in their own origins, huh?
Here's a good early publication, fully available online, "Millions Now Living Will Never Die!" 1920, Rutherford http://www.reexamine.org/quotes/millions/Millions_Coverpage.html
The most damning evidence about the Governing Body are written by a humble former member, Ray Franz. His book, Crisis of Conscience, is practically required reading for exiting Witnesses:
Crisis of Conscience by Raymond Franz ( Paperback - Jun 2002)

The Wikipedia article is good. Note the diagram that places the Governing Body between members and Jehovah.

I didn't see DUH on the netlingo site. When I used it in one comment I made I meant - "what a dummy I was" -
