The Geordies are impossible to understand I was once walking with one to the uni and he was talking to me all the way (20 Minutes)and I never understood a thing of what he was saying.

Can't Americans Understand Plain English?
by Englishman ini watched an interesting film last night.
"a handful of dust" with kristen scott-thomas and alec guinness.. it wasn't bad, so this morning i idly took a peek at the write ups on the net, it being a movie made in the 80's.
to my astonishment, some american viwers were complaining that the movie didn't have any sub-titles!!!

Governing Body and rank and file liabilities
by greendawn ini get the impression that generally the rank and file jws are to be thought of as victims whereas the governing body are the real and only villains in this organisation.
.
do you think this is a valid opinion especially when it comes to the elders and circuit/district overseers who willingly enforce the gb's often criminal policies?

Fading away problems.
by greendawn inmany people decide to fade away from the org gradually so as not to have to suffer the sanctions of being disfellowshipped or disassociated and if all goes according to plan it works well.
.
are there any cases where things somehow went wrong and the objective to quietly leave failed, your one or that of other people?

they might be able to kick me in the nuts, but they can't knock me out.

Is it that having lots of money and fame can make a difference, beyond hiring top lawyers?

Believe it or not there is parallel between early Christians and JW
by Face inapostle paul wrote:.
nevertheless, in a congregation i would rather speak five words with my mind, that i might also instruct others orally, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
20 brothers, do not become young children in powers of understanding, but be babes as to badness; yet become full-grown in powers of understanding.. .

They would probably feel close to the Jewish christians with their emphasis on the Law and its letter whereas Paul stressed faith rather than works.

World is too peaceful!
by Aaac inworld is now more peaceful than ever!
probability to die in a war is now the lowest in the history of mankind.
only the huge media coverage gives a false impression.

It is all superficial and sloppy the way they examine history and facts and reach conclusions no wonder why Russell and his followers were waiting on roof tops dressed in white cloths of purity to be taken to heaven in 1914, then again all the signs of the last generation were totally wrong though apparently there in reality. That includes the preaching of the gospel before the end by sect of all people.

Killing the WTS subtly programmed ideas.
by greendawn inafter leaving the jws can you recall any instance(s) where more or less suddenly becoming aware of a hitherto unconscious wts idea(s) subtly programmed into your mind, brought a great positive change in your persective of things and your overall disposition?
(once a subconscious idea is brought up to awareness it is easier to dispose of.
or perhaps the above happened when you really grasped the meaning of a programmed idea you were always consciously aware of.

And indeed there are also witnesses that are greedy money grabbers.
Generally there are people that are much nicer than the JWs outside in the world, despite the way they get demonised by the WTS. -

What are the differences between JWs of different countries?
by DannyBloem in.
when i read some of the posts i cant help wondering that things do not go always the same everywhere.

What I had noticed is that the cultural background and national temperament of JWs does have a strong influence on their behaviour in this religion. I get the impression that the English speaking JWS are the strictest, most inflexible and fanatical of all.

Is it morally OK to try to free people from the WTS and how?
by DannyBloem ini have some serious questions here.
i am still a jw but fading away slowly.

I think if people are not happy with the life they lead in the JW society then it's good to help them to come out of the cult but if they happen to be happy as JWs then they should stay there.
