I have not seen it myself but years ago an active JW and collector of old JW-material told me that chewing gums were condemned in the Golden Age-magazine.

Very interesting stuff. "WARNING: The Living Bible, The New Living Translation, and The New Testament [Johannes Greber] should never be quoted in any publications of Jehovah’s Witnesses."

What are your plans post JWD?
by penny2 inwill you be joining another forum or leaving it all behind?.
i took to heart simon's thread about moving on past the "ex-jw" phase and i've been spending less time at the computer.
it's comforting though, to come back on here occasionally and see how my cyber friends are doing.. so i'm glad there are options - i've noticed some familiar faces on new forums - there may be access to jwd in some form..... .....and there's a whole world out there!.

They did not sing the lyrics "Deutschland über alles" but song 64 "Zion's Glorious Hope" (Zions Herrliche Hoffnung) from the Bible Student's songbook was sung to the same tune of Haydn that was used for the German anthem. The Songbook was in the songbook from at least 1905, the tune was used for the German anthem from 1922. Hope that helps.

Tell Simon why we want JWD to stay... our apprecaition...
by burningbridges inok, i'll start, maybe if we can all tell simon our reason why this site means so much to us he will reconsider and leave it here.
this site has given me the courage to speak out.
i used to be ashamed of my history with the witnesses.
