Rehashed material. There must be no real writers, who are able to foretell the future there anymore. Since the denise of FFranz, no one knows how to come up with anything interesting.
Just people cut and pasting his old stuff. i.e Daniel book, isaiah books, creator book and that other one on god.
No imagination.

Hello all; helping those in the org
by stapler99 ini've been lurking for a while so thought i'd introduce myself.
i'm in my late teens and left the jws just before i left home.
i used to know what absolute belief was, but never got baptised because i didn't feel any love for god.

Hi, welcome to the forum.
How you feel is how most feel when they leave. Do heaps of reading here, you will notice that. I would suggest you read some extra stuff that is available elsewhere. Steve Hassan's book on cult mind control, Ray Franz's books are well worth reading as is Carl O'laf Jonnson's.
If you are younger, it is better for you, you can get yourself a life apart from the JW's.
good luck. -

I didnt but my son did. He came home all upset. The reader told him that his father was going to die in three days. He got me to go to the doctors for a check up, but i got a clean bill of health. He fuused over me heaps, talked to me a lot, kept making sure that I was OK. Then on the third day, he kept ringing me all day, every 10-15 minutes. I was fine. When I got home he rushed up to me, hugged me, he was glad to see me. I assured him I was still OK. No problem.
I went into the kitchen to see my wife, she was glad to see me home safely too. I asked about her day, she had had a lousy day. I asked her why? She said that when she went to check our post box, here on the sidewalk was our postman......dead!!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I have had my cards read, by a competent reader. If half of what she said turns out, it is going to be a fantastic future. BTW nothing about the world ending and only a small group survivng! -

Wow, what an interesting thread. I remember it all too well.
I wonder about the heating. I have been to DC's where they have them in winter and NOT turn on the heating, if the auditorium gets stuffy, they wont turn on the AC. This is all to save $$$. Donations for books, what about car parking permits? Suggested donation per day. If you didn't pay the suggested donation....no ticket!! We actually parked all day NO ticket...I owe them meoney!!??
The food at conventions whilst being very cheap to produce, must've made heaps of money. Volunteer [slave] labor, donated food stuffs, production lines, they must have made plenty. We all used to eat it like good little lemmings, no going for take out... then the food tickets, another double dip, dont forget to hand in all your dedicated cash at the end.
This is all done for TAX AVOIDANCE. -

Get`em while they`re young! (JWs, this is for you)
by Hellrider inshe is only 17, and she is having a "bible study" (watchtower indoctrination program) with a jehovahs witness-woman.
and, after chatting a bit with her here, i can easily see in her posts that she is a very young, naive girl, who knows little about religion, the bible, and probably life in general.
she is probably brainwashed beyond hope allready.

There is an organization in Australia called Bravehearts that have come out and are all for protecting the rights of young women 16-18 years of age from sexual predators who are 5 years plus older than them. Maybe they need to extend the web of protection to include religious predators too!!

In 1974, I was in a small country congregation. We had this big city elder shift in. He came back from a visit to hi s home city and had a bright idea. That we should practise being persecuted, so we had our book study in a farm shed. At a prearranged time two brother would knock on the door and burst in to arrest us all. We had to then hide our literature, and make out we were there for a social.
One guy even had torn the pages out of his study book and when the knock came promptly chewed and swallowed them. This went on for weeks, until someone [my mother] complained to the CO and he said it was a lot of rot.
CRAZY......sounds like this guy would do well at armageddon survival class!! -

Thanks for the input. jwfacts, good point, glad to hear that, I'd hate to think that all the nephews and neices of the GB would be able to line their pockets.

Door to Door
by I-follow-the-narrow-path injust wondering... what do you think about the jw going door to door?

my view is ( weather something is false or not) i think it is great someone shares what they love with someone else.

Would they all get sold and the money divided between the so called active members?
