2. humour
i thought it is ironic that the jehovah's witnesses force their members to go door to door throughout the neighborhoods.

and then once a year american's have a tradition where our kids go door to door throughout the neighborhoods on halloween.

but the jw's kids can't go!

jehovah's witnesses will be experiencing a special treat during their co (circuit overseer) visit this season: a bona-fide pledge drive.. during the thursday night meeting the normal co talk will instead be a video entitled:.

building kingdom halls advances true worship.

this 30-minute advances video is well produced and explains the watchtower society's program to build simplified kingdom halls in third-world and poor countries were materials and funds are scarce.. interviews and footage focus on south america, africa and eastern europe.

WTS vs Quotes: Requiem for a Research Web Site
by Quotes in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
in compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".

the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).

my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.

Do you think of yourself as an apostate
by barbar in
1. jw
2. experiences
many of the people on this site say that they are apostates.

but that is not the way i feel about myself.. i am not angry with the "witnesses" or the organisation, i don't feel that i wasted my life.

i just think that i was stupid to believe it for 30 years (well sort of believe it, i did have severe doubts on and off).
