1973 Release from Liability form
by Marvin Shilmer intoday i added a new article to my blog.
it will appeal to readers interested in historical documentation of watchtower blood doctrine.
it contains an image of a very rare document from the early 1970s stipulating what jehovah's witnesses do not allow.

You could turn it into a project.
Record or document your experiences, and after a length of time, post your observations and results.
Unless you integrate, your odds of any kind of success will extremely low.
If you play the game for a while, and you're a male wearing pants, you may be able to attract attention from a female, and maybe succeed that way, but that raises a number of ethical issues.

Unbaptized Publisher
by naazira inwhat would you recommend for an unbaptized publisher that has learned ttatt and is inactive?
do you think it is best for someone to just continue to be inactive and live & let live?
or take time and write a letter wishing to no longer be an unbaptized publisher?.

If you're not baptized, just move on.
Unless, you want to bring someone out with you.

Could a JW be DF for celebrating Festivus?
by Stealth inafter all, it's a secular holiday not a religious holiday.. if i was still an active member, i think i would start a new tradition of celebrating festivus.
most likely no jws would come, but that's okay, it's a famiily holiday anyway.. what grounds would the elders have to disfellowship you?.

There are many such cases in Canada.
The leading one was a Supreme Court case - Young v. Young

Hewitt v. Hewitt is a good read - DF'd father - much of the '81 WT is discussed.

Want to hear something funny ?
by troubled mind inmy husband just won the city wide holiday light display for christmas i am so proud .
just a few short years ago i was the one that put a strand of white lights around the porch railing ,and a couple of lighted deer in the yard ....that brought the elders around real quick (after three years of silence ) at that time my husband was still holding onto the notion his faith was not bond to a cult .
it didn't take long after the 'loving sheparding call' for him to see things in another light.

Nephew going to bethel - seeking seed planting ideas
by azor ini have posted a handful of times so far.
i am seeking some ideas to plant some seeds with my nephew before he goes to patterson.. a little about me and the going away party where i will have an opportunity to plant these seeds.
i have a little freedom since i am the only relative that he is in communication with that spent some time at bethel.

Is he one of your favourite nephews (of course he is)?
Let him know that!Also, let him know that you found that Bethel was not always what you had expected it to be, and that you wished that you had had someone to talk to about your personal disconcertations.
If you EVER feel the need to talk, without ANY judgment whatsoever, but as as a nephew and uncle ...

Couple questions....like if JW's not the right way then what is?
by world innew member here so don't attack :d here is a couple questions i have been contemplating lately.. .
if jw isn't the right religion, then which one is?
or is it basically believe in god, the bible and you'll be fine?.

I came on here the first time thinking similarly.
Maybe if we could just try to fix the problems within, as Average Dub is a good person (and he is).
I agree with racial harmony, neutrality, and many other things.
However, the GB is our mediator (doesn't make sense), the WTS is our conscience (why do we have our own?).
The most hurtful teaching of JW's is the adaptation of disfellowshipping, doing it EXACTLY opposite to Corinthians, and then in 1981, expanding it to include shunning family, and perverting 2 John in the absolute worst way (ALWAYS ignoring verse 7, which refers to the antichrist), if our family were the antichrist, then, yes, they should be avoided, but, if that is the case, then how is it possible for the antichrist to be reinstated into the congregation?
Not only is it the most hurtful, it demonstrates the desperation of the group.
