i was considering getting another copy of one of ray's books and was shocked about the market value.

is ray's book worth $1,000?

perhaps, but it is a bit shocking.

I wonder if there are any versions signed by Ray. I'll bet those will sell for a bundle.

I was hoping t get a copy of Ray's most recent book, In search of Christian freedom, but I am priced out of the market.

How strong were you in “The Truth?”

by John Aquila in

when you were still asleep in the watchtower organization and had no idea of ttatt.

what would you have done if you were in a serious accident and all of a sudden you woke up in the emergency hospital room with all the brothers and sisters at your side and your spouse cheering you on to be faithful to jehovah.

then the doctor comes up to you and tells you that you are about to go into surgery because there is no time to lose and the only way to live is to take a blood transfusion ?

NewYork44M

I was a firm believer. However, at the same time I was highly embarrassed about my religion. I went to all the meetings and did all the stuff you are supposed to do. In the end I realized that I was going through the motions.

Jehovah's Witness woman refuses blood, then dies.

by Lee Elder in

another jehovah's witness woman has died while giving birth due to massive blood loss and refusing a blood transfusion.

she leaves nine children behind.

she finally consented to the transfusion but it was too late to save her.

This is coerced suicide. In other words, murder.

I agree. This is unbelievably sad.

Change to dress and grooming rules for JWs in USA soon?

by RayPublisher in

my guy with the lurk account on jwtalk (where all the kool-aid drinking jws go to talk about how wonderful 'the twoof' is) sent me some more interesting threads, here's one:.

spoiler: starting new the new service year september.

"there will be new directives from the branch through the circuit overseer on dress and grooming that will disqualify one to be a congregation publisher.

NewYork44M

This does not seem legit. Perhaps they could as someone to go home if dressed inappropriately but to disqualify does not seem manageable.

Closing Prayer at RC...youth baptism

by freemindfade in

so while 99% of the closing prayer i did not hear, what i did was the elder say "we need to encourage our young ones to get baptised.

we can't let the world take anymore of them away" .

i found this very strange and looked up in disbelief.

NewYork44M

Who is this "we" he is talking about. Given that the prayer is a conversation with god, isn't his language indicating that he is telling god what to do!?

I always hated it when the one giving the prayer uses this as an opportunity to pontificate an opinion

No end to JW logic, Oranges can make you gay

by James Mixon in

NewYork44M

I think you heard wrong. It is wearing orange that makes you gay.

If the Governing Body members had to take a 'lie detector test' what questions would you recommend they are asked?

by Esse quam videri in

i think it is reasonable for every leader or head of any organization that has control of peoples thinking and actions should, by law, submit to a lie detector test.

the results would be accessible to any one who had an interest in the matter.this test would be required before appointment to any position and on a yearly basis.

questions could be submitted to a competent and unbiased committee for approval.
