What book are you reading now?
by ozziepost infrom time to time we like to share some good reads with each other on jwd, and now might be a good time to share with you what i'm reading this week.
it's "the gate" by francois bizot which tells of his experiences as the only western prisoner to survive the khmer rouge in cambodia.
in 1971, on a routine outing through the cambodian countryside, the young french ethnologist francois bizot is captured by the khmer rouge.

what a bummer
by christopherrobin inafter me and my wife divorced, she started dating and finally settled down and bought a house and swore to me that she was happy.
this was a huge boost for me, as i still cared for her and was very concerned about her state of being.
we had become inactive after the divorce but both of our lives were looking up.

Rutherford's Sex Life
by Leolaia inokay, so we learned in recent threads how jf rutherford was seperated from his wife from the time he took possession of the watchtower society, and how they lived apart thenceforth.
so....to quote butt-head, did rutherford ever "get any"?
did he live a purported "chaste life" that russell claimed to?

You'd better pioneer or else tell Jehovah why you can't !!
by Gopher inback around 1980 (i cannot remember the exact year), the speaker at the district convention said that each non-fulltime-pioneer jw should pray to jehovah and explain to him why they cannot pioneer.
if you can't come up with a reason, then you should start pioneering.. if i remember correctly, this counsel was repeated in the pages of the watchtower magazine the following year.. did anyone here respond to this "encouragement"?
i think it pushed me toward pioneering, although i didn't do it for very long.. this was a subtle but powerful guilt trip that tested your loyalty to the organization.

Why 2 Witnesses ???
by christopherrobin inif " holy spirit" is guiding judicial meetings, why need a legal loophole that justifies their process?
if they are guided by the ultimate power of the universe, would'nt jehovah directly affect decisions vs. child molesters, thieves, adulterers, etc, without the need for witnesses.
why does holy spirit need witnesses if it can guide the motion of millions of planets, galaxys, blah blah blah ??
