The idea of reverse witnessing through public talks must be a real fear, as nowadays assembly talks and public talks have an assigned outline reader in the audience to make sure you're not veering too much from the script.

The length of a public talk
by Farmer Jim1 indoes anyone ever wonder the good they could have done instead of giving a public talk for 45 or 30 minutes?
i remember giving my first public talk aged 18 and even then i was thinking ' this is just me making up half truths trying to blind people with jw propaganda'.
fast forward 15 years to when i gave my final public talk and i was so close to seeding the 30 minutes with ideas that could possibly wake people up but i never had the guts.. in that 30 minutes i could have done so much real good for a person instead of spreading this awful religions dogma.

Real Book titles
by punkofnice ini wonder if real book titles should be entitled according to our opinions?.
eg.. plato's republic.
i'd call it: some geezer in a toga mincing around a pond talking idealistic nonsense.

An interesting Observation of some Bibles
by Blotty infirst of all, hi, i go by blotty on this website :) i am someone who has a passion for the bible and like to get a as balanced view as i can from the trinitarian and the jw (or unitarian) side - even though i come off as leaning towards one or the other at times, in my opinion they both have merits in certain cases..if this is in the wrong section i apologise - this is just something i found interesting.iv seen online a lot that say the watchtower and tract society "invented" the link between proverbs 8:22 - 30 and jesus (the word).
yet interestingly some "mainstream" "trinitarian- aimed" translations are cross referencing the following:source:https://www.biblegateway.comprov 8:22 cr rev 3:14niv, gnt,esv, nasb, nasb1995, nasbre, cevprov 8:30 cr john 1:1,2 esv nasbprov 8:30 cr john 1:3esvnasb1995nasb(this list is by no means complete)if this is simply wisdom, why is it referenced with jesus (or the word)?.

"How long will you keep limping on two different opinions?" There is no GT as JWs understand it, the org isn't special in history, for good OR for bad, and you should do what's best for YOU and those you care about, whether that involves fading or in fact being open and letting them disfellowship you. But playing their power tripping committee and letters game rarely has any benefit.

and early judicial committee with Rutherford
by neat blue dog inwhile disfellowshipping was doubled down on and reinforced during the time of raymond franz, it definitely existed before that when needed and fits right in with rutherford's personality.
here's an account of norman woodworth who left for dawn bible students, and his proto-judicial committee.
all the modern hallmarks of apostasy trials are there, from the witch-hunt nature to the big all-important gotcha question at the end:.

TonisOH:
Well to be specific this was after Rutherford's takeover. Russell specifically spoke out against an organization and considered individuals from other denominations as being Christians.
dropoffyourkeylee:
It's from the Dawn Bible Students magazine's 90th anniversary issue.
