i didn't care at first then got irked and then it got nasty. i think I'm irked by the absolutism of it.."Yes we did...","No we didn't dumbasses...". I should have ignored it. Argueing with idiots stuck in a "box' makes me an idiot arguing with idiots. If this were done as a Muppet sketch it could have been funny.

by gubberningbody inwas there an official or unofficial reason that anyone knows of?.
it seems to me that pretty much every publication was studied at the book study, but we never did that one..

Mine is buried in the garage. I just spoke with an ex MS/Pionere/Asst. Book study conductor. Short of calling the elders in the old hall -not doing that- I am satisfied. We were in Seattle at the time and from what he told me, it was a regional thing.

Something is wrong with my dad...
by Strider Arekksu ini keep prooving to my dad how fucked up this religion is, how it lies, and how it is willing to call jesus and the prohets liars if it comes down to the wire to justify it's existance as a religion.
the only thing i did not show him is the faulty logic that is used in their litaruature.. sometimes he starts getting it and trying to listen, but if i don't say anything to him for a long time, and go off and do my own thing (studying by myself for a couple months), i come back and he'll be back to complete brainwash mode.
and the sad thing is he does not go to the meetings, and when he did (very rarely) i'd go and prove to him how the organization is wrong!

You're pushing him too hard, and in the process activating cult defenses that would otherwise go dormant. Go to Steven Hassans site and READ how to engage a cultist's mind without activating defensive belief structures...and make progress.
You need to not care that you are right, not beemotionally attached to the fact that you're right, and avoid all aggressive engagements with him. IF you truly love him and want to help him, you can and must do that. If you have your ego mixed in with your intentions at all you will fail.

I just spoke with an Ex Jw ex MS from my old hall. WE STUDIED IT! In the Book Study setting.
NOT ALL JWS bookstudies studied this book. If yours didn't, then you didn't.
Kiss my fuzzy bum!

So, you guys are saying that NO JWs ANYWHERE...EVER...studied the Search book? Why is it so hard to just allow that SOME JWs studied the Search book in a bookstudy setting?
Whatever.

I'm from Oregon/Washington. We studied it. I remember it clearly. I believe I was still in high school, so it must have been 1988 - 1990. I'm going to my 20 year high school reunion. Wish me luck!
EXACTLY! I don't understand why some are having a hard time accepting the fact that AT SOME TIMES the book study material was was up to the local or regional elders.
Good luck at your reunion, mine is in 2012.

Blondie, thanks for posting that exhaustive list of KMs. I can't fathom why they made us go through that damn revelation book as many times as they did.
I have no emotional investment in this as an argument, I don't need to be right, and I don't care if I'm wrong. I think that in some areas at some times, the study material
for the bookstudy was up to local discretion. In the greater Seattle metro area, there is a very diverse sampling of human beings and cultures. I think that the elders may have felt that the pubs should have at least some exsposure to foreign especially Asian religions, if only to refute them.
This book we're talking about, in the front and back covers, had a color coded world map that showed different areas and the predominant religions in those areas. Which if you think about it is another WTS extreme oversimplification. I remember looking at the maps during the study and getting distracted and having to scramble to find my place because I was the reader that night.
I think its nice after being gone so long from the "Lie", that I've forgotten when and where some of my final book study's were, and what was studied. I still think we studied the Search book.

Poison Tap Water Makes Number 1 Google Search
by What-A-Coincidence inpaul joseph watson.
thursday, august 5, 2010. poison tap water has become the number one trending search term on google trends today after our efforts to bring attention to how sodium fluoride in tap water is a deadly health threat went viral.. the subject hit volcanic status shortly after alex jones launched the new anti-fluoride campaign on his show today.. .
click for enlargement.. however, google appears to be censoring the prison planet story we wrote on the subject from appearing in its news section.. the story appears under a routine google search but is apparently being blocked from the news aggregator, thereby preventing people who see the poison tap water search trend from finding out more information about the subject.. alex jones is launching a new campaign to inform the public about the toxic chemical fluoride being added to tap water across the country.

I haven't read this info, but was reading some stuff written by a medical Dr. He was saying how Fluoride is an edocrine disruptor for the thyroid hormone (T4?), taking the place of Iodine on the molecule and rendering it useless to the body for metabolism purposes.
The list of symptoms is pretty much the broad spectrum of common societal dissorders we currently see; obesety and related metabolism disorders, depression, insomnia, autoimune disease and cancers.
