questions from readers?
why does not the watchtower society publish simplified material for parents to use in teaching their children bible truths?.
-a question based upon frequent inquiries by readers.. jehovah god lays upon the parents themselves the responsibility of teaching their children.
I remember the first book I was interested in as a young child.. Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained. I actually quite liked it. LOL
The first book I can recall that we did in the book study was Babylon the Great Has Fallen... bit hard going for a 5 year old that had just learnt to read...
(DD... sent you a PM)
in another thread, mouthy said she was "not well" and mentioned "kicking the bucket.
i believe she needs some encouragement and well wishes.. mouthy, you don't need to respond to this thread if you don't feel up to it.
just consider it an exceptionally long get-well card..
Granny Grace... we love you!! Hope you feel better soon!
interesting short interview with a wbc apostate.
i didn't realize they shun too - but, i'm not surprised.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijwzc6mvdkm&feature=player_embedded.

There was a documentary about them here a couple of years back. It was scary how similar they were in certain areas. Worse than JWs if anthing.
i want to purchase a couple of vintage watchtower publications to help in my helping jw's break free.
some of the older ones are expensive or hard to come by - i know you can buy them on cd's but i'd like to own one or two of the "classics of propaganda"- some of the ones that speak for themselves as to the ridiculousness of this religion.. of course any magazine i pick up today speaks to me of the ridiculousness, but you need something much more hardcore for the jw's.. any recommendations?.
"children" has some pretty good quotes in it..
I would say the proclaimers book too. Not many JWs have actually read it. There's some real gems in there if you can winkle them out.
Divine Plan of the Ages with it's pyramid chart and the crazy Finished Mystery. The society is always making mention of these 'wonderful' books.
If only JWs would actually read them maybe it would wake them up.
im very sad, upset and disappointed all at the same time.
why couldnt i just stay away from this dam forum and live my life and blindly dedicated it to the borg.
now i know ttatt, i cant ignore all the facts and all the stories of the great people in this forum.
Tough sometimes isn't it Maybe? I'm a bit further along than you but still having the same struggles. It gets worse in some ways as time goes by, you don't want to leave your family still in but you can't bear to be in it yourself. You wish you could unlearn TTATT but then you know you're glad you did learn it. You can't go back but it's so hard knowing how to move on...
or the 2000's generation thing?.
how did you feel?
how did it help you wake up?
In 1995 I was too busy running around after kids to be too concerned about it but I remember having this niggly feeling that didn't feel right, it was yet another change...why? The real eye opener for me was when they changed it yet again, in 2010, to something so ridiculous I couldn't believe anyone was actually sucked in by it. By the end of the following year I was fully awake to TTATT.
disclaimer: hubby & i have been watching a 5 dvd documentary on the 'secret's of the founding father's' we're not sure if we believe everything they talk about but here is some interesting things to think about..... revelation mentions that the 'mark' would either be on the forehead, [for everyone to see] or, on the right hand [if you make a fist, it is hidden] rev also says that no one can buy or sell without this mark.
the wtbt$ isn't too clear on what they believe that mark is, so.... what is one thing that we cannot buy or sell without?.
money!.
NE, if you're interested in this sort of thing look up about the IBM verichip. Not saying that it means anything as such, who knows. Conspiracy theorists seem to think it's tied in with that scripture. I just looked at it out of curiosity, it'll be interesting to see if anything like it happens. I'm certainly not going to be derisive of something like this, after all who would have believed the Nazi Holocaust before it happened.
you once were true.
.. with no more than the fierce beating of my heart as your signal,.
you would hasten deliciously into my presence and cherish me.
Beautiful Coco...
i am so tired of waking up without hope.

i truly don't have the willpower or strength anymore..
