i normally don't bother going to the midweek jw meetings much.
however, upon reading in the april 2017 meeting workbook that there was to be a video about erich frost (former do for saxony & nazi prisoner in sachsenhausen concentration camp) i wanted to attend as i had read about this brother in history texts by detlef garbe and hans hesse.
i had also visited auschwitz several times and noted that the museum had a display / exhibition about jehovah's witnesses.
I am not interested in watching anything coming out of Watch Tower as it is consistently aelf serving,
Of course, films such as this are attractive to those of us interested in history, however there are way too many messages in the subtext to sort through, which makes viewing for historical benefit a rather frustrating process

i have posted less and less personal threads because less and less jw-related activity has happened in my life.
my jw mother called me on friday and asked me if i could do something on saturday.
i was sure my wife would ask me if anyone asked about her, and what i said.
Re: My Name is of No Consequence
BECAUSE I SAID SO!!! :(

so i was wondering what book is the nuttiest they ever printed?
i know there are several in contention for first place but which is your vote for no 1?
also if you don't mind post a bit of what is in the book you pick to show why you picked it.
My first book: Paradise (orange) I was 5 years old!! Just for the pictures, my crazy mother would read this to me at bedtime! Lol
says it all really.
total hypocrisy once again..
Re photo:
Why was Fred Franz not required to wear a jacket?
Special status?
:)

They love the crowds!
I saw FW Franz raise his arms fists clenched and wave to the small crowd
after his talk,
I didn't know what to make of this,
I never saw this before, anywhere,
It didn't make sense,

as some of you know, i'm not a witness, but i am the co-author of a series of history book that discuss the watch tower's earliest years.
russell mentions a 'brother' van der ahe as an early days wt evangelist.
we can't identify him.
William B Van Aniburgh ?

http://watchtowerdocuments.org/did-you-know-having-children/#comment-474.
here's the short article found in the "did you know?
" series found on watchtower documents, and, underneath it, is the unusual comment:.
In 1987 Canada I heard the speaker say that "to bear children now was
IRRESPONSIBLE"
As I looked down on the stadium rink floor simply filled with
baby carriages and strollers,
I wondered about the childless men who came up with this,
How dare they call these young parents, obediently gatherered there
"irresponsible"
Takes gaul
:0)
i'm currently cleaning up our bookcase and need to decide what goes into the trash.
i'll keep the watchtower books that are not available online anymore (e.g.
the brown "reasoning" book).
I figure they messed with my mind enough all my life
I'm still working on exorcising them
So no, none
:)
ok, so i've just put myself through another months broadcast so i can see what bull they're feeding my still in relatives.
all was going fine... well, i say fine, i mean the usual cheesy videos, rehearsed reactions from jeffrey jackson (you remember him, the one who told half truths and lies at the royal commission) and propaganda from jw land.. the last feature brings up 9/11 and the paris 2015 attack at the bataclan.
just as im thinking "how are they gonna spin this in their direction" i hear these words:.
The phrase "religious bigotry" comes to mind
:0)
