the forum doesn't like word. Open up Notepad or Wordpad, paste your text from Word into either of those. Then re-copy and past the text in the forum. That usually works for me.

Beyond their control
by NanaR ini have been thinking a lot lately about the relationship between jesus and those who are "born again" by the spirit.
it occurred to me that this is the only relationship in the jw religion where the "organization" or the fds does not intervene (see recent threads regarding jesus as mediator only of those in the new covenant according to jw doctrine).. since the number of those partaking of the emblems at the memorial has remained basically unchanged over the last 20 years (increased some years, decreased others, but no steady movement in either direction), i was wondering what the future might hold with regard to jw doctrine regarding the heavenly class.. i read another thread that indicated some congregations have taken steps to decide who is "truly" anointed.. if the sealing stopped in 1935 except for replacements for unfaithful ones, why does the number "wobble" instead of decreasing?
people born in 1920 (15 in 1935) are now 86 years old if still living; and we know that not all of the anointed were young folks in 1935. so, faithful or unfaithful, they are passing away.

How can the borg come between Jesus and his "Bride"?
Maybe they're like a condom, keeping Jesus from knocking up his old lady.
I think I'm going to start refering to them as "the Trojan Class"

What song best epitomizes what keeps you going
by Lady Lee ini know a lot of song threads have been posted but i am interested in what and why a particular song moves you to keep going when you have lost so much.. if possible find the lyrics to the song and post them along with your what song and why it was so important.
as a kid i had an old 78 record player that i had to wind up to play (i did say old.
) there was one old record that had a song by ed ames 'the impossible dream" i was in foster care and had no contact with my family.

have you ever gotten a chance to see them live?
What about you Daystar, goodand badgirl?I saw them once at the Salem Armory during their OK Computer tour in the U.S. Funny thing was I wasn't as big a fan then. That all changed that night though. They were amazing! Now they're my favorite band of all time and "Let Down" is my fav. on OKC. I've always wanted to see them again but they don't come around my neck of the woods too often.

Is this your first post JW Christmas? Tell us about it!
by LovesDubs ini was still in the borg when my children came...the oldest was going on 9 and the other two 6-1/2 and 2 when i decided it was time for mom to jump ship and run so my children,,,and me could live normal lives.
my neighbors whom i had dutifully avoided as bad association for all those years, heard that i had left the jws and that my children were having their first christmas ever in december of 1997. they got together and brought to us a little well worn and loved artificial tree, boxes of extra ornaments from their own collections, some ceramic village pieces with lights inside (which has grown to a really big village now with people...something my kids delight in setting up each year), and presents for the kids.
i tell you what...i have rarely been as moved as i was at that moment...the love these people showed for us even though i had never allowed myself to be close to them, being told they were evil, was heartwarming and pure.

This will be my first and my kid's first Christmas. Since I'm living with my brother (who has celebrated christmas since he was 18) I don't have much to do as way of decorations or the tree. I'm looking forward to getting my kids presents and seeing the look on their faces as they open them up. In all honesty, having been raised a JW, I don't have much connection with holidays. I don't get real festive as others do but I do enjoy the excitement others have and the general good will people seem to express during the season, something I was taught was bad as a JW.

Someone from Oregon "ME" - View on this James Kim event
by free2beme ini spent last saturday about 10 miles out of grants pass bring some supplies to a friend who was in the search and rescue for james kim, and talking with people who were looking for him.
being a long time resident of oregon, i can tell you exactly where he was, as i have been down that road many many times.
it is a remote location, at best, and locals mainly use it for hunting a fishing access, or maybe a chance to go motorcycle riding through the mountains.

No one will know why Mr.Kim decided to take that road, as unwise as it was. He had missed his turn off to Gold Beach and this was the next available road to take him there. Not being from the area he probably had know idea how bad it really is. From my understanding the road is very narrow and has turn offs here and there for turning around or letting other cars by. Whatever the case he probably figured he had gone that far so why turn around, plus, from what I hear, he may have been getting low on gas.
Here's my other take on it. He was driving a Saab. I jokingly call them Saab Snobs but the reason I bring this up is this. Saabs, like Volvos and Subarus are known for their agility on snow. Many models have AWD which really helps in snowy conditions. The side affect however is overconfidence by the driver. I don't know how many times I've been driving up to Mt.Hood in my van in horrible conditions and seen some A-hole idiot in a Subaru or Saab scream by me as if their car was glued to the road. The same overconfidence is exhibited by some SUV and 4x4 drivers. This may have played a part in why Mr.Kim felt he could take this treacherous road in the middle of winter.
Also, the photo of where he started and where he ended up is a little decieving. He traveled five+ miles but he only ended up 1 mile from his car (as the crow flies)

JW dress fads
by rassillon ini was just looking at the revelation book and some of the illustrations reminded me of some of the dress fads which i have seen growing up as a jw.
what fads did you see at the halls?.
the one that got me to thinking was the sun dress on page 51. .

I remember in our area all the bro's wore a blue shirt with yellow tie, every one of them. Then came the shiny tie fad during the "Who Want's to Be a Millionaire" days.
When I was a young teen Looney Toons ties were real big, I must have owned 10 of them. Then the bro's counceled us on wearing "commercialized" ties with worldy characters on them, nipped that little fad in the bud but quick.
