  Anyone remember LP album circa 68 with Awake on back cover?

  by cabasilas in

  i have a memory of some rock artist of the 60s placing a pic of herself and some guy in bed and her reading an awake magazine on the back cover.

  it could have been "is time running out for mankind" or something like that.

  anyone remember?

  Looking for quote re: gay rights 1973-1974 WT/Awake

  2. beliefs

  i remembered recently an article i read in a watchtower or awake!

  about 1973 or 1974. a woman gave her story of how she had rejected the fight for women's rights (it may have used the term women's lib or liberation) and became a jw.

  she lived in nyc and i actually met her briefly when i was at bethel.

  Thank you!

  "To me, however, lesbianism was perversion and a revolting practice. I was not going to fight for a woman’s right to be a lesbian."

  Yep, that's what I remember.

A woman gave her story of how she had rejected the fight for women's rights (It may have used the term women's lib or liberation) and became a JW. She lived in NYC and I actually met her briefly when I was at Bethel. (Side note: she knew ASL and I remember her interpreting at a circuit assembly in Manhattan soon after her article was printed and some Deaf JW complaining that a woman was interpreting. I remember wondering what was going through her mind as he criticized her!)

  In her article, she mentioned her dissatisfaction that some of her Women's Rights colleagues were fighting to also support gay and lesbian rights as leading to her leaving the movement. I don't have access to the literature any more in print or electronic form. I would really appreciate it if someone could find this article (about 1973 or 1974) and post what it was exactly she said about gay and lesbian rights back then? It might give a window on how the Society approached things then. (We know they are no friend of LGBTQ rights but usually keep quiet on that.) Thanks in advance!

  The Fundamental Mistake

  by TD in

  2. friends

  there's a funny story that's circulated among engineering types about a young vp at arco.

  he saw an inordinate amount of 'boiler operators' on the payroll and noticed that they made an inordinate amount of money.

  he decided that he would save the company a bunch of money by out-sourcing the building maintenance.

  i was given the link to a bit of information regarding on old poster/moderator of this forum.

  i was not sure of the validity of the information so have been trying to find out if it is true.. earlier today craig's estranged wife, kate, (bikerchic) confirmed that craig died at his home on aug 10, 2011.. i am sure that many people here remember craig's time here and how he went out of his way to offer support to posters, even calling them, to give whatever help he could as they adjusted to their post-jw lives.. i know many people here will grieve his loss.. --------------.

  ps i tried posting this earlier but the computer i was working with would not allow the posts.

  Yes, he was. My condolences to his family. I was priviledged to talk to him a few times and he was very encouraging to me personally.

  For those interested, a few years back he wrote his life story. Here are some of the links:

  There are several more parts. For those who are registered, this link may pull up the rest:

  I thought Craig's story was one of the best I've read here on JWN.

  1909 Comments right on about Chronology in many ways

  by itsibitsybrainbutbigenoughtosmellarat in

  a little hard to read, but worth the trouble, i think.

  i like his comments about the whole issue of diliberation is unnecessary, when the prophecy of the last days is all required for bible students to understand or look for..

  The first two are under copyright still and that's why there are no versions online. However, you can read large portions of them at Google Books. I don't know the status of Stroup's book. Perhaps someone else might?

  Not that I'm aware of. I believe Research Applications has plans to make them available but I don't think they've done so yet.
