  I am old enough to remember when we offered householders the opportunity to purchase Awake and Watchtower gift subscriptions for others throughout December.

  Me, too. We all had subscriptions, and as a kid, it was a BIG DAY when they arrived in the mail. I mean, my very OWN study copy of the Watchtower (TM) addressed to little ME. wow!

  I clearly recall that a 'selling point' was that, like porn, they came in a plain brown wrapper, so when selling subscriptions, we could assure the householder that their neighbours would not know they were receiving the JW literatrash.

  Going to see Star Wars:The Force Awakens - What are you seeing?

  this is not an attempt to 'straightjacket' anyone into a fixed interpretative perspective.

  so set your mind free and see satan and his demons if you reallynwant to adopt a possible jw perspective.

  or, just sit back and watch the show and the trick affects if you want.. or like the uk guardian you could see the movie in terms of dysfunction (personal and family).. quote: the original movies were always based on the most extraordinary nexus of personal and family dysfunction: a motor of guilt, shame and conflict.

  Agreed. Of course the nature of films changes with the decades to reflect changes in society. If not, they wouldn't sell. She is 'digging deep'. : P

  LovesUni - yup, just like fairy tales. Violent, they were, and have been altered in recent generations so that they don't resemble the originals very much.

  Ummm, ships are always referred to as "She".

  Right, Leia was a princess - who had the loyalty of the droids C3PO and R2D2. It was she who sent the holographic message to Obiwan. Leia! She fought side-by-side with her brother, Luke, and Han. I kinda thought she was a strong character myself, and at 18, that was new to me; except for Wonder Woman on TV and in comic books, we had few female fighters/heroes.

  Growing up as a Jehovah's Witness, I had friends who were hearing impaired. The thing is about these Witnesses, they treat the hearing impaired like they are children. All of my friends who grew up JW, have left the religion because they wanted to be treated like NORMAL ADULTS.

  It sounds to me like these 'sisters' are offering you what they consider help, while taking advantage (your bank account was overdrawn? No more automatic deposits for rent, okay?). They do NOT consider you their equal. You are someone they are 'helping' ,,,,,,,,,,,

  I suggest you leave the JW behind forever, and you are in your early 30s now? Lots of time to start a new life with people who will treat you as a normal person, instead of 'less than'..

  If you bothered to read the link, you wouldn't have asked this:

  no on the contrary I'd love to make a contribution or pay a reasonable price for the books, I certainly wont be paying £100 a copy on ebay or Amazon,though, but how long will it be when the printing is resumed? how long is a piece of string?

  because Cynthia said this:

  
  I am presently considering three different routes to publishing Crisis of Conscience. I hope to make a decision within days and plan to publish within weeks. Please stay tuned on what I am doing. I plan to update this webpage with the latest information concerning the publishing of Raymond Franz works in print, Kindle and electronic formatting. I plan to work very hard to make Crisis of Conscience available to everyone that would like to have a copy.

  Furthermore, she also explains, in clear detail, that it took about 18 months for the transfer of copyright through the Library of Congress. Then, she was gravely ill for 6 months. NOW she is finally able to address this matter of theft.

  The reason she is accepting contributions is also explained in the link. Do you have reading comprehension issues? HMMMM?

  Perhaps you could read the link instead of running your mouth.

  Do you need translation?

  The "Rabbit" is supposed to be quite the toy! Careful, though, as you can see, Charlotte needed an intervention. *snickers*

  Hmmm, a copy of the Kama Sutra. A frank and open discussion of what you may be interested in trying, what you want to try. I have to admit that it's been a while - first time, I would just browse, have some fun "Check THIS out!" Laughter ensues. Have some fun with it. If you are interested in a certain type of toy or equipment, ask the clerk which is the best buy, safest, etc.

  It's all good.
