that's how i titled my response to a thread (on a non-religious discussion board i frequent) asking: "in honor of the lord's baptism today, were you baptised?

(poll)".

my reply:.

Biggest mistake of my life too!

I was baptised at 16 because my mother went on about 'what would the brothers say ' that I was still not baptised at 'my age'! She denys it completely now. Little liar!

I then continued to have children just so that no one would nag me about pioneering, or lack of.

I think back to what I could have been/had and get almightily angry. I had a grade A brain and vocation but it all went down the toilet.

I have though a wonderful husband and great kids but a hungry, and starved brain. I'm tied to domesticity and always craved something else.

Never will I let my children get involved in any form of religion!

I am angry with the WTBTS, disappointed with myself that I believed the lies for so long but very happy to be out!

JW Brochure "Keep On The Watch!"

by AlanF in

i just got hold of a copy of the jws' recent 32-page brochure keep on the watch!

i'm surprised at some aspects of it, and not at others.. i'm not surprised that it contains much of the same old clap-trap about "the urgency of the times" and "we're so close to the end now!

" -- the same nonsense they've been spouting for well over a hundred years.

How about the back page of the Feb 1st Watchtower, 2005:

'Likewise, for over 125 years now, this journal, the Watchtower, has passed on Jesus' encouragement 'to keep on the watch'. How? As stated on page 2 of this magazine, 'It keeps watch on world events as these fulfull Bible prophecy. It commforts all peoples with the good news that God's Kingdom will SOON destroy those who oppress their fellowmen and that it will turn the earth into a paradise.' With a worldwide circulation of more than 26,000,000 copies in 150 languages, The Watchtower is the most widely distributed religious magazine in the world. By means of it, Jehovah's Witnesses, like the ancient gate keepers are urging people everywhere to 'keep awake' spiritually because the Master, Jesusu Christ, is about to return and execute judgement on the system of things.

(Capital 'SOON' mine)

Same old message!

What Things Can You Suggest To Piss The Watchtower / "Brothers" Off???

How about really piss them off big time!

A poster campaign, and I mean the big ads in say Birmingham and London and New York and Washington. Just enough to be eye catching. Most people won't understand them but the media WILL want to know what they mean.

Nebuchadnezzar ruled from 602 to 562 BCE.........GET IT!

and

How do you get to 1914 from 586/587 BCE?

Through measuring a pyramid! GET IT!

The media will want to know what these mean and gives a naughty apostate a chance to explain on prime time TV and get the dubs talking, or whispering even. What do you think?
