  my heart is palpitating even as i write this.

  it was only recently that i was introduced to this site.

  i had long had doubts but could never bring myself to peer over the wall built in my head about the evils of apostates.

  When one becomes a JW they don't realize what being in the spiritual paradise hostage is. When a person is being held hostage there are ways to counter their tactics. It would be good for the members of this board to develope a plan for dealing with this situation. I for one would never play by their (WTBS) rules that are stacked against you. Play by your own rules and watch your back, do not trust anyone that is loyal to the WTBS.

  Publications Printing Over The Years

  by Hunyadi in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i was hoping someone in the know, perhaps dave, gamaliel or another former or present insider could help me with the following.. what were the different types of printing presses or methods used by the wtbts over the years, and in what years did they officially change over from one to the other?

  some kind of a chronology from the 50's to present day would be appreciated.

  feel free to email me or pm me if you prefer.. kind regards,.

  The Society use flat bed press (Heildelberg) from the early 1900's for most of their printing until they got rotary presses in the 30's. They used the rotary letter presses until the 1980's and they switched over to offset printing tooday. Most of the rotary presses were made by the M.A.N. company in Germany, some by the Cottrell Co.and some by the H.O.E. Co. I ran a flat bed press in 1973 in Bld'g #1, M.A.N. press in Bld'g #3 and a M.A.N. at the Farm for 3 years.

  Publications on the internet

  if the watchtower and all the publications are such "life saving" materials from "god's earthly organization" why don't they put them on the web?

  any thoughts on this?

  have you asked any loyal dubs why and what answers have you gotten?

  Lies and the Lying Jehovah's Witnesses who tell them

  a visit home recently brought me back up against the destructiveness of the watchtower society.. far from being happy, my parents are exhaustingly sad, angry and bitter.

  they spent the weekend.

  chopping first at each other and then at my brother and i. how we had disappointed them.

  There are many schools of thought here. First the way a person veiws their religion has a lot to do with their attitude. Some view it as a insurance policy for the here after ( These are the arrogant ones), some use it to persue egotistical goals (These are the enforcers), some use it for social reasons because regular society will not put up with them ( These are the usefull fools). Most will become bitter when they realize the time they have spent devoted to an organization that has no more truth or guidence than a house cat. Many demonstrate there bitterness in various ways and what you have experienced from your parents is just a sign of their bitterness ( ever heard of the saying " misery loves company"). Remember a religion that has all the answers................allows no questions!
