I've read it on pdf but really think that if I want to show anyone anything in it, the physical book would be far superior. Ridiculous prices on amazon..

Doltologist - welcome to the site, I reckon you're gonna be a hoot to have around!
I'm in the UK too, is skeptics in the pub just a brummie thing? I think I heard one of you guys on cognitive dissonance podcast a while back..
Jw talk is THE pro jw forum, but you won't stand a chance on there, it's so heavily moderated you'll be kicked off before you can say evolu......
They don't tolerate any questions or debates, it's just an "aren't we so good" fest over there. And I can fairly guarantee you that less than one percent of all witnesses will even know who Dawkins is never mind having read any of his writings. It's not allowed, if any of us (yes, I'm to all intents and porpoises an active, but non believing jw) got caught reading such material there'd be an inquisition. And nobody expects that!
Stick around bro, you'll no doubt get some discussions here anyway..

Christ's Fake Brothers - Tomorrow's WT Study
by The Searcher intomorrow's wt study, paragraph 4 says this - "the early bible students understood the expression rendered in the king james version "my brethren" to refer to those who would rule with christ as well as to all of mankind after they are restored to earthly perfection.".
rutherford decided in 1923 to change this teaching, and create an elite group of christians.
for 92 years the men running the wtbts have perpetuated & embellished this false teaching - especially so during the past three years - and hidden the bible truth about christ's brothers from millions of people fearful to question the org - created doctrine!.

Are You "Technically" Still A Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus ineven if you don't regard yourself as a practicing jw, some may view you simply as inactive, a lost sheep, etc.. if you were baptized but not disfellowshipped or disassociated, you may still be a jw---right?
your thoughts please..

I'm the same as stillin. The missus knows I think it's all hogwash but I put on the appearance for her sake and for our social life. -

I've read the pdf, there's NO WAY I could've gotten away with reading and hiding a hard copy at the time. Now my feelings are out in the open I really want to buy COC to read and have around the house but can't afford the silly prices at Amazon.
Who owns copyright then?

On Bart Ehrman's Blog+John's use of an early 'Signs document'
by TerryWalstrom inthe land of judea?
he then did signs in judea (3:22).
i think the greek is saying that this healing was jesus second sign, and he did this one after he had come from judea into galilee.

Thanks for posting terry, it's all a bit mental this higher criticism, if only they'd find these extra sources and add some definition to all the speculation...

2034 - A Future History of Jehovah's Witnesses
by slimboyfat ini don't know what i am talking about... read this post at your peril.
back in the 1960s there was, seemingly, a brief period of relaxation in authoritarianism among jehovah's witnesses.
those who have read raymond franz's 'crisis of conscience' will have heard the story about dan sydlik's remark about the need to 'open some windows to let some air in here'.

Dude. I'm not saying either way.
But I'm awakened after forty years being fully in. My other half knows exactly how I feel, and because I love her I've agreed to pretend to be a witness to a very small extent.
The negatives? I attend most meetings, (except on the flimsiest of excuses) . I do a couple hours a month ministry.
The positives? I keep the pretty half happy, we both keep our social circle, and our families. I've been pretending for years so that's no biggie, and my HOPE is I'll be able to get her to think (eventually) about why I don't believe anymore.
Watch this space.

A Tug on the Leash (The Authority Which the GB Wields Over the R&F)
by Oubliette inrecently, several comments have been made in various threads in reference to some of the recent changes to a few of the rules by which jehovah's witnesses must live their lives in unquestioning compliance.
the assertion has been made that these rules are a "relaxing" of previous restrictions.
the suggestion has been made that this somehow indicates a corresponding relaxing or loosening or lessening of the authority which the governing body (gb) holds over the rank and file (r&f) members of the religion.
