isn't this one of the classic signs of a psychotic illness - another being that you communicate directly with God ?
sigh ... why oh why did we ever believe the GB huh ?

Demons Anyone?
by AuntieJane innever was a jw, and am fascinated by the demon stories .
can anyone verify that demons are currently/today talked about??
i guess they just sound dated, perhaps from growing up years, say 20 years ago?

What "Two Witness" Rule?
by Amazing insomeone please show me where the watchtower society has stated, in cases of serious sin, the rule that requires "two witnesse" to the event or act!
at best, one or two witnesses are preferred!
period ... but if there are no witnesses, then other evidence can be presented to witnesses or the elders.

oh - I had another point on:
Deuteronomy 22:27 For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed damsel cried, and [there was] none to save her.
I do not believe that this scripture was requiring the woman to scream, but purely that the language illustrates this was done against her will.

Deuteronomy 22:25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
Deuteronomy 22:26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there is] in the damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so [is] this matter:
Deuteronomy 22:27 For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed damsel cried, and [there was] none to save her.This scripture and law from God clearly didn't require any witness other than the wronged one. Surely this makes a complete liar of the Borganisation which requires two witnesses for rape, incest and child abuse.
Even so, the second witness is frequently present from forensics and still there are accounts of JW Elders denying those two witnesses (ie. the abused one and the forensic evidence) and standing alongside the one who should be condemned.

The Transsexual They Wouldn't Let Pee
by minimus inin a congregation some years ago, the elders had a major issue to deal with.
a transexxual woman became interested in studying the bible with the witnesses.
she was invited to go to the meetings.

yeah, the irony is that the bigots saved that person from a life of control and ignorance
as with all things watchtower, people are secondary - the wt would say secondary to God, but we know it's secondary to their current infantile interpretations

this virus is called the jw 101 virus.
it is very tricky and something you need to take extreme caution to make sure it does not infect your computer system.

they asked me if i could print out a leaflet that they could photocopy.
this was my contribution:.

Burning Bridges--a Bad, bad habit.
by LDH inone of the most important lesson an xjw needs to learn is how not to burn bridges.. what exactly does it mean to "burn a bridge" in the first place?.
well, consider if you crossed a wide chasm suspended on a rope bridge and decided you would never need to go back.
why not burn it?

Have you ever seen a JW with a beard?
by SpannerintheWorks inok, you've probably guessed i'm not talking about the women!.
but jesus had a beard (just look at any wt publication) so did paul, john the baptiser (or baptist if you've got an earlier publication), etc.. surely all jw men should have beards!
they are christians (the only true ones) aren't they?

i think they believe beards and moustaches are worldy and potentially indicate homosexual leanings - they see them as a part of 'gay culture'
perhaps it's more likey they find them 'homo-erotic' and because of their own reactions, judge others ???
