JWD a Dysfunctional Place?
by Victor_E inwith the recent blood baths we have seen in this forum it got me wondering of how you can objectively understand it and more importantly not let it affect you if you so choose.
what i write is not meant to be taken as gospel truth since there is no gospel truth nor is it my intention to get on my soap box since i left it when i walked out of the kingdom hall.
most of what i have to say is subjective based on personal experience and i feel no need or desire to debate anyone about anything i write.

Demonizing the Watchtower
by IslandWoman inour 'beloved' old faith tried to teach us to hate other religions and all things that smacked of anything that was worldly.
they demonized all things outside of their religion.. are some of us in danger of carrying that same thinking over to our new lives as former jws?
could some here at first start out as an anti-cultist but in time allow this to become a 'religion' in itself?.

Charles Taze Russell and his Roman toga
by Kenneson ini remember reading one time in a religious periodical discussing the watchtower society and its founder, charles taze russell, that as he approached his end he requested that his body be placed in a roman toga.
i found that odd and wondered where they had gotten that tidbit.
this weekend i found the answer in the memorial issue dedicated to charles taze russell in the dec. 1, 1916 watch tower.

Found an Old Letter
by Scully ini was going through an old file folder a few days ago and came across this letter i wrote to our old congregation regarding renovations that had been proposed.
at the time, i was very upset with the way the proposals were steam-rollered through (i think the sentiment comes across nicely in my letter lol).
has anything like this ever happened elsewhere??
