And I'm not suggesting this (Heaven forbid!) - but wouldn't it be fun to take along all your mates from the Tourettes Society?!

Let's do something big for this year's memorial !
by Simon inenough of the wts intimidation and getting away with all sorts of crap.
we, "the people", have more power than they, "the establishment", do.. this year i propose that we make ourselves heard and noticed.
that as many people as possible protest at their beloved memorial - the one event that is "most sacred" to them.. i am not suggesting that we disrupt or do anything illegal but simply that we exercise our right to take up their offer of free wine and make a statement.. go, drink.

Injustice of the elders
by chuckyy ini am so angry tonight.
there is an elder and his wife who have upset so many with cruel/biting comments.
one family of 14 moved away because of them.

.....and 4 of the other 5 elders are ALL in his social 'clique'? WHY? Do you sense that maybe they are afraid NOT to be?...and how is the remaining Elder treated?
I agree with Outlaw, I know it's tempting, but don't do anything rash. Have a think about it.

Could JW's return to the "generation of 1914" teaching and still be true?
by booker-t ini was discussing the 1914 "this generation" doctrine with my jw mother the other day and she said something that made me laugh my head off.
i told her that the wts were wrong on this belief so why does she put so much faith in them.
she told me that jw's were not wrong on this believe but just back off being so dogmatic about it but that they still feel that the generation of 1914 will see the end come.

Just read your article Gary - super read - and got me thinking. I believe the ''END'' was prophesied for 1914 - and from what I've read there have been other dates. My PERSONAL experience was 1975 - which became 1976 as that year came to a close, (which recently a JW DENIED that 1975 was ever prophesied as a date for A ) . What I'd like to know is - have the JW gone from one date to another? ie, when 1914 passed, was another date announced? I also have a vague recollection of 1980 - something. And what was the last date prophesied (and with WHAT logic?) and is there a next one ? - sorry for droning on

Elders & Circuit Overseer Get Caught In A BIG Lie!
by minimus inmy mom has lost her zeal.

Have already expressed my views - PLEASE keep us updated in this, and much love to your Mum.
Have to say, Fairmind, your comment about ''acting on own conscience'' I don't think really exists - it's just a ploy to make JWs believe they ARE allowed to make decisions.

Am Utterly Gobsmacked - Speechless even. The ''God Squad'' must have been having a lean time and needed a persecution fix.

The magazines sell themselves!
by Nosferatu ina lady is waiting at the bus stop when she notices something in the bush.
it's a magazine with a picture of the earth blowing up with a caption saying "is there any hope for your dead loved ones?
" the woman picks up the magazine and begins to read.

I like xjw's idea - am spotting a few regurgitated stories...and as for being one of the Anointed - just out of interest, does anyone know when the books were ''closed''?

WHAT IMPACT WOULD A UFO LANDING HAVE ON RELIGION?
by Mary ini was watching independence day last week, and i got to thinking "what would happen if a ufo (or several for that matter), did land on earth?
what effect would this event have on religions that teach that god has only created life on planet earth?
specifically, how do you think the governing body would attempt to explain this to 6,000,000 people that they've told in no uncertain terms, that there is no other intelligent life out there.

Religion? Unsure. The WTBTS - they would manipulate a Scripture to accommodate it while stating they prophesied it 50 years ago. They would then release a publication which would include quotes supporting this (altered) from ancient copies of the Watchtower.
Am I in the running for the most Cynical person on the Board?
