  1. Dick Van Dyke - Watched a two hour interview with him. NOT once did he badmouth anyone, not even an enemy. He is the most pleasant and likable person I have ever seen.

  2. Paul McCartney - Brilliant song smith and businessman. Ever positive.

  3. Stephen Fry - Though often blunt, a great mind with a razor wit and vocabulary.

  4. David Pouge - Tech writer and explainer of things scientific. An intense, but practical enthusiasm for science and tech. Great series on PBS.

  5. Jimmy Carter - Four years as president and not one war. Into his 90's a worker for better things in the world, health and political. Helped wipe out a major disease in africa that killed millions.

  "Now, brothers....learn the rule: “Do not go beyond the things that are written.....” (1 Cor. 4:6)

  clearly, the org's henchmen haven't "learned the rule", and go way beyond what's written at romans 14:1 .

  "welcome the man having weaknesses in his faith, but do not pass judgment on differing opinions.

  " (rnwt).

  When did the Great Crowd start forming?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  2. bible

  i realize that rutherford received a flash of light regarding the identity of the gc in the year 1935, but that does not tell us when the crowd began to form.

  what would be the earliest date?

  any ideas or quotes from wt literature?

  Just curious

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember that every time when my father and i came home from the meeting, my mother (who stayed at home for my disabled brother) asked us "who was attending and who wasn't attending".. and then, we took some time to drink coffee and went through the list who was there and who wasn't.

  there after there was an opinion made why someone was absent and what this meant in relation with his strength of believe.. just curious, do you recognize this?

  gorby.

  If people don't think it is a social club, see how many can remember anything said on the meeting parts versus how many can recall who were there or not and why. Bam!

  i won't make this long.

  i went out again and found him.

  got in through the back door, pushed him to wake up, got him out, fed him, watered him and said he was family and i have a plan.. we talked all day, i let him do what he does, in order not to scare him about the future change that could happen for him.

  If you can manage your feelings and see it for what it is you will no longer want to "disappear, hide and feel nothing". This is easier said than done I am well aware. Just knowing you are doing the right thing and there will be obstacles will make it easier to overlook the madness and persevere. I wish you emotional strength as you move forward in showing practical assistance and love to your family when possible. It will be thankless but not ungratifying when you have done your part.

  just feel like i could never make it on the outside world.

  i was never able to adjust, except in being a mom and in business.

  those are the only things that i feel strong in.

  "I want instructions! What do I do? How should I act?" That's how we got in the cult to begin with. Explore, find out what works. Stick with it. So don't sweat being independent. Its OK.
