Caleb knows that the gb is" Jehovah'!
He wants other children to know that too!
awful presenter, but worth watching if only for the jw.org badge on the jw pr guy.
note his tie is the same colour... :.

thanks wizzstick.
The reporter mistakenly states 25/30 Ch was once a printing plant.
The 117 Adams st complex was the printing plant.
25/30 CH was originally a Squibb pharmacutical plant!
please spare a moment to consider the difiiculties faced by gay jehovahs witnesses.
i was raised and baptised as a very serious jw.
every waking moment of my day was lived for jehovahs and his organization and for nothing else.
Thanks truthwillsetyoufree.
I 100% understand what you were going through and an elder in my cong told me a sister was a lesbian. They keep nothing private or confidential.
Yes, my desires for certain men are 100% natural to me. I am not sexually interested in women, never have been.
I especially appreciate your brining out point 3. It is not just abstaining from sex as a single heterosexual person could do. The heterosexual can find a women he loves and have a happy life as you mentioned.
I cannot- I am a virgin, am alone and will always be alone never knowing what it is like to love someone and have them love me in return.
Thanks for your post!

I had trouble understanding some of what Caleb was saying.
as the convention season is upon many of us, i recall my first assembly that we attended during the very beginning of our questioning if this religion that we were raised in was 'right'.
by really listening to the talks and observing the behavior of the other attendees, we came away that weekend with real focus on uncovering the realities of being one of jehovah's witnesses.. i had, for many years, issues with some basic organizational practices and customs : turning in a time slip, counting hours, re-hashing material over and over, dress and grooming rules, congregational politics/favoritism/discrimination, the 'judicial committee', etc.. at the same time we were researching the history of the watchtower and it's core beliefs : what were the origins of the belief in a paradise earth, the faithful and discreet slave, and (most importantly) the watchtower's chronology/dating that leads to the 1914 conclusion.. to all who are in the beginning of this process, i recommend you keep it simple.
take one topic or issue at a time and prove to yourself that the watchtower's stance is biblical.

that book is just as insane as the others...and focuses on building why 1914 is the year, while glossing over the failed prophesies.
yet, my husband thinks it answers many of the questions i had.
.
To me, it seems its purpose is to provide highlights of the history of jws over the past 100 years. Of course it says Jesus is leading the org.
I would not expect a wt publication to focus on failed prophecies or anything that paints them in a bad light as that defeats their purpose.
I like the book.
I wish it went into more detail regarding the expansion of their printing operations over the years, which it does not do.
2014-06-09 adjusted approval and financing process to accelerate kingdom hall and assembly hall construction.
to all bodies of elders.
the congregation secretary should arrange for this letter to be retained in the congregation permanent file of policy letters.

today in guitar class one of the members requested "i have.
a dream song" .
so we played and sang the song.
Abba are my second favorite group of all time, after a-ha!
Frida sings the lead on that song.
the current fading of brand name "the watchtower" & the rise, rise, rise of jw.org.
the watchtower as brand name is in the process of being imperceptibly faded from visibility in the organization.
who'd have thought you could make a watchtower fade and disappear?
I noticed at the end of the new dvd "These Words must be on your Heart" that the Watchtower icon/logo has been replaced by jw.org symbol.
There was a very small wt icon shown onthe top floor of one of the new Warwick bldgs in the ilustration, very small. I wonder if they will still have it when the complex is built?
How long before The Watchtower becomes jw.org magazine?
