This march will turn out to be a significant event in the anti-Watchtower movement in recent years. Unfortunately I won't be there in person, but my prayers are with them.

In the name of Jesus Christ
by stichione inas members of the "other sheep" we were always taught to conclude our prayers with the words: "in jesus christ, amen".
what i don't get though is, why are we praying to god in jesus' name if jesus christ is not the mediator of the "other sheep" but only of the "little flock?
we are instead taught that only by associating ourselves with the watchtower society can we hopefully/maybe be saved.

Pomingranate,
I agree that the teaching of two classes of Christians is false. But then how do the Dubs justify praying this way when they are taught that Jesus is not their mediator?Edited by - stichione on 13 September 2002 19:57:20

Does anybody have any thoughts?

KIngdom Melodies
by freedom96 injust wondering if there were any good funny stories out there with the songs.. there always were the loud ones, the ones who thought they could sing.. i remember wrong songs being played on the record, then later tape, (are they on c/d yet?
) and people singing to it, but the wrong music, but they keep going anyways, especially when the "new song book" came out.. how about when the record would skip.. of course there were the brothers back there who so loved their "repsonsibility" in the hall, and took the "privledge" of doing the music so serious.. i remember back when they allowed someone to actually play the piano, she sometimes would jazz it up a little, and the congregation loved it, made it more lively, until they were chastised for it.. and then of course, no one could play live anymore, didn't want to make the musician too proud.
do you think that was really the reason?

When I was a teenager I was assigned to play the Kingdom Melody records at my hall. 20 years ago we used those old style record players, and if the song wasn't the first track on the record, you had to start counting which track it would be. Didn't I screw it up at least ever few weeks by either miscounting the tracks or placing the needle incorrectly so that the song was already started when I turned up the volume? At the time is was embarrassing, but now I just break out in laughter!

This is a perfect example of how the Society flip-flops on doctrinal issues. Isn't it ironic how they encourage the Dubs to do deep research into the older publications?

Which did you prefer? Watchtower or Awake?
by LDH inwhen i was a jw, i really couldn't stomach the watchtowers.
the only articles i would read would be for the family study/watchtower study.
it seemed so archaic and old-people-ish.. i did read the awake from cover to cover almost every time.

I liked to read only the more interesting articles in the Awake! magazines. Now I only read the Watchtower for the Questions from readers or the really juicy study articles where I can criticize the Borg.
