You don't study by answering their questions. You study by asking "leading questions" to get them to thinking. Pretend to make progress and be be very accommodating, never confrontational. Go out of your way to be social with any friends that you have in the borg. This will drive the CO crazy.

Met with the C.O., and need help with 1975
by OnTheWayOut inhere is a quick summary, in august i turned in an elder resignation letter stating that i could not teach doctrine from the governing body because i did not "know" them at all, and i had doubts.
when asked by the elders, i said the doubts spring from this generation and 1975. the elders took no action, waiting for mother to tell them what to do.
would want to talk to me on his visit.. this week, our c.o.

This is a golden opportunity for you to "witness" to the other elders since the CO advised you to "study" with a couple of them. A blessing in disguise.

I asked the same question but was told that "a religion that had all the answers allowed no questions!"

If you could make one comment to someone in your congregation........
by ButtLight in(of course, do not give out their real names) i want to keep this thread going!
i think mine would be to the elder that got up and moved as far away as he could from me in the restaurant!
"the next time i see you in a restaurant, i hope you choke on a chicken bone!

They can get your body..........don't let them get your mind!
I would (and have) told this to different ones. Most don't know where I'm coming from when I say this. They have to think for a while. It's interesting to watch the expressions on the face of a loyal dud when they think about what I said.

Ever question why Roman and Greek myth, had similarities to Christianity?
by free2beme inthe virgin birth, the strong men, animals being used to tempt mankind, the war between gods, etc.
these are all things from greek and roman myth, yet every single one of these could be pulled out as examples from the christian bible.
i asked elders and they would say that the greeks borrowed christianity to make their myths.

Ever notice that many miracles happen near the "water". This is no coincidence. Tthis Hellenistic belief predates the bible and the Jews adopted this.

Intolerance - a new breed of ex-JW
by LittleToe in.
i cant help but think of the analogy of pendulum swings when i think about how vitriolic some are towards religion (of any description), the bible (and other scripture), and christianity (generally, regardless of there being a wide range of denominational flavours) in particular.. it seems to me, from my perspective of sitting here on a remote scottish island, that there are a fair number of folks who may have left an intolerant and generalising religion but forgot to leave those attitudes with it.. just my 2p, coz to be frank i'm getting sick of it.. by all means enjoy some self-expression, it's a relatively free planet, but have a heart....

I have made the same observation. The only conclusion that I could come up with is that the JW's appeal to those that are inclined to be this way and that goes for almost all cults!

I will some day. For now I must fly under the radar. I have the "goods" on some of the big shots at Bethel and stories that will raise the hair on your heads.
