Hi! I'm new here!
by gloobster ini just signed up here, so i guess i should let everyone know a few things about myself.. my maternal grandfather was an elder in a congregation here, and he and my grandmother raised my mother quite strictly as a jehovah's witness.
my father's father was also a jehovah's witness, though much less devout.
when my parents were in their mid-20's they more or less disassociated themselves from the flock.

Current WT & Awake to be available online - download as MP3 files
by sir82 inhere's the latest cost-cutting move: the society is going to stop producing audio versions of its magazines on disk, and instead make them available as downloadable mp3 files from [somewhere, probably watchtower.org] on the internet.
i haven't seen the letter, but our po gave me a heads-up on it.
the letter will be read to the congregations this week.. so, thousands of good jws who were convinced "satan lives on the internet" will now be scrambling to get their dsl lines so they can be able to listen to the latest magazines.

PHILIP K. DICK and parables of the WTBCS
by hamsterbait inseveral of this writer's stories are almost parables describing how the wt controls and twists reality.. there is one about a machine that sits in the home and warns people they are having the wrong thoughts and ideas.
if you don't stop it kills you.. i especially love the world where nothing is as it seems, and the people are rescued by an empty space ship that eats them.. any story by him that you think does the same?.

Does the society own gold bullion
by edmond dantes induring an economic down turn wealthy investors put their faith in gold.does anybody know of a strongroom at bethel containing gold bars.you know just for an emergency in case they have to go underground during the great persecution.or do they just rely on stocks, shares and property.
they don't put all their eggs in one or two baskets do they?
just thought of another question.who will get all the gold and silver in the new world and what will it be used for?.

if you are like me, you lost count a long time ago.
my advice to any such person would be--get a legal divorce.

The Double Standard Continues GOP vs. Dems
by owenfieldreams inhttp://apnews.myway.com/article/20061221/d8m4tnq80.html.
most of us know the story--president clinton's national security advisor removed classified documents and hid them near a construction trailer, and later tried to retrieve them.
upon being detected, he agreed to pay a hefty fine and admitted that he had been caught.. same old story.
