Stupid armageddon false alarms
by purrpurr inwhen i was 5/6 i remember being in the car with my jw mom and a jw sister.
they noticed a yellow ish glowing cloud in the sky which really freaked them out and they both declared that it must be a sign that armageddon was here!
they then spent the whole car trip declaring that the police and army were about to come and round up all of us.

Does anyone have any stories about crazy jw false alarms?

Why are they still so obsessed with Dr Spock?
by purrpurr incomment in today's wt, was about dr spock, and his book "that every parent in the world read" apparently (!).
if it wasn't for the wt's obsessions with the guy i would have no idea who he was, neither i suspect would the vast majority of the congregation.
there has been a mass of parenting books written since and yet they keep harking back to this one.. do they have no idea how out of touch this makes them seem?.

Silmboyfat, it would be interesting to draw up that list of out of date sources the wt keep using.
What must the younger generation think of such antiquated references?

WTBTS/JW's Copyright Hypocrisy?
by The Fall Guy ini remember one congregation's territory maps used to be copied from an ordnance survey map , which is crown copyrighted and requires a licence fee to do so.
naughty jw's.. https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/licensing/licences/paper-map-copying.html.
afaik, jw congregations don't employ professional map-makers, (cartographers) so how do all the uk congregations obtain such copyrighted items for their business?.

Only jw's .....
by carla in"(14) arranging for elders to visit or write a letter to addresses of households that have asked that no further visits be made.—see 23:21.".
what is so hard for them to understand that someone is requesting to be a 'do not call'?.
how does that conversation go?.

Tbh most houses only get called on once a year in some territorys. So the yearly do not call is not missing anything

Similarities to David koresh doctrines
by purrpurr ini've just been watching a bbc documentary about waco, when the doctrine of the seven seals is explained by the branch davidians it is frighteningly similar to the interpretation that the wt have.. i also note that they use the term "new light" as well.... i don't think the gb would ever "force" an "armageddon" type situation like koresh did..
