Do any of you ex-jws find anything wrong with Born-Again Christianity?
by booker-t inmy friend from my jw's days ran up to me on the street the other day and to my suprise he is no longer with the jw's.
it has been about 16 years since i last saw him.
he was a "devout" jw's and we used to "pioneer" together.

Can the "Annoited JW" lose their position if their kids are DF'd or Reprove
by booker-t ini remember a sister that held book study in her house and she was very devout as a jw.
she claimed to be of the annoited class and would partake of the wine and unleaven bread.
i looked up to her as some sort of saint.

"Evil slave" vs. "Apostate" Which is the WTS favorite word?
by booker-t inwhen i was growing up in the 70's and 80's before i moved out on my own all you would hear was so and so is of the "evil slave" class.
when i left the jw's in the late 80's and formally da'ed myself in the early 90's my mom told me i was with the "evil slave" class.
now the wts uses the word "apostate" i was wondering why did the jw's change their hate word?

the united nation scandal and all other Watchtower Society scandals
by booker-t ini was recently talking to a jw elder at my job that i have been working at for over 20 years(he knows that i am da'ed but still talks to me trying to get me to come back) and i brought up the un scandal and all of the wts scandals that are hitting the wts.
he said it does not surprise him that "apostates" would try and deceive many jw's with lies and 1/2 truths.
i told him that i can get a printed copy of the un ngo membership and that the wts was a member for over 10 years.

Do JW's disfellowship or reprove JW's for celebrating Holidays and birthday
by booker-t ini remember when i was growing up in the 70's and 80's the thought of even looking at a birthday card was thought to be satanic.
now i hear that jw's are alittle lax on celebrating holidays.
my niece who is not a jw but lives with my mom who is a devout jw had christmas lights in her room and the elders came over to my mom's house and did not raise cain and abel.

The WTS "Revelation Grand Climax book"
by booker-t ini have been out of the jw's for some years now.
i left a few years after the revelation book came out.
i remember when it came out my mom who has been a staunch jw for over 40 years told me that the jw's are indeed the truth and provide food at the proper time.
