  Going back to a Kingdom Hall

  by hotspur in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  part of my 'rebirth' after my leaving jws was to rediscover and undo the 38 missing years of my love of music.. before i was baptised i was playing a trumpet in bands and orchestras... then came the empty years (we all know the stories).. long story short, i relearned my instrument through a music school.

  from there i joined a brass band, but recently we moved house and it was some way from the band i played in.

  so, i searched for a new band and found one more local to me... they even have their own band room.

  I bet it will be a strange feeling, at least the place is being repurposed for the good!

  "Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12

  by yourmomma in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?

  its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .

  if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

  at the kind advice of so many of you (and hassan) on this board....i ceased attempting to discuss doctrine/failures with my wife many months ago.

  but unfortunately that does not prevent her from grilling me from time to time.

  during one of our infamous "discussions" she said she was going to "investigate" this supposed "proof" that is out there regarding 587bc.

  How to find an apostate: Look at their pages! They will say they are not apostate, but most support apostate sites.

  That's like a homosexual saying he is not homosexual, but he looks homosexual, and supports 'I love gays'!

  I love the above quotes from the site, 'he looks homosexual', so there is a standard look????

  Most folks on this board will also realize that the JWs made it with #1, the Millerites, since that is really what spawned the JWs, I wish the article would have mentioned that.

  i haven't researched this but do library have copies of this book?

  did you ever look for coc or any other book in a local library when you were a believer or when you began to have doubts?

  how hard is it to find this book in a public library?.

  I was thinking of donating as well, the best thing for exposure would be if a library could host an ebook format, that would prevent the book from mysteriously disappearing!
