I have a college education because I read the Awake magazines. One magazine said we should wash our hands with soap after going to the bathroom. How can you put a price on an education like that?

iMO Allen seems much more credible than Farrow.I recently saw the Danish movie THE HUNT. It is about a school teacher that is falsely accused of molesting a five year old. The movie is absolutely exceptional. I highly recommend it.

I cannot say whether or not the story has any credibility, but I would like to highly recommend a Danish movie called THE HUNT. It is up for an Oscar this year for best foreign film. It is about a teacher that is falsely accused of sexual assault. An extremely powerful movie.

My husband was an elder and we had been married 20 years and had 15 and 14 year old daughters (unbaptized).
I said "I am filing for a divorce, I am done with the marriage and the religion and I want full custody of the girls". And that is exactly what I did. I ripped the band aid off with not one regret. He did not have a clue it was coming (way too busy serving the cong to notice a wife and daughters)

I am such a sucker for anyone in need. I was giving out way too much money and food to these poor people. I finally made a decision to give to one cause and ONE cause only. So I now only give and donate to animal causes. I also carry baggies full of dog food in my trunk for the homeless person who decides to exploit some poor canine for sympathy. Every once in awhile there will be some young person on Pearl Street that really tugs at my heart strings and I will break my rule, but I am getting a lot better.

by minimus ini found the meetings to be especially boring from the late 1980s on.
before that, we actually tried to make people want to listen.
the meetings were pretty interesting.

Thank you Billy. Off topic for a moment to add to your grandfather's views on goats......as a young JW in the 60s and 70s, we had a small farm that included goats. They were simply fantastic animals. We milked them and made numerous cheeses. They kept everything mowed. The babies were awesome playmates. The list goes on and on. However, I felt terribly guilty for loving these animals so much. I was under the impression I should hate them for being the wicked animals that they were supposed to be. I prayed to Jehovah to help me hate the goats (yes, another conflicted JW six year old)
