Because they're not stupid and they know that suing him would only give him 10,000,000 times more publicity than he could get if they simply ignored him.

Why did the WTBTS not sue Ray Franz?
by Gill inif ray franz had been lying in anything he said in both of his books, c of c and in search of christian freedom, surely the wtbts would have sued him.
why did they take no legal action against him?.
could it be that this legalistic corportion realised he had lied about nothing?

If New Light (TM) is so important...
by Elsewhere in.
why doesn't the wts point out the new light (tm) when it is published and do a compare and contrast study so jws are fully aware of the change and the ramifications of the change?.
to this day there are many jws who are unaware of the generation change in 1995.

Um... the generation change WAS compared and contrasted. There was a Watchtower study on that very subject. I know, because I was the reader for that day... and remember thinking how stupid this was and how it made no sense.
But of course the study lesson had the answer for that as well "if you have trouble accepting it, just take it on faith and don't worry about it"
LOL
Faith is such a convenient way of controlling people. -

WatchtowerFarm.Org: JWs and Ex-JWs Continue Destroying Their Wounded!
by AMNESIAN inbelow is the most recent in a lengthy exchange between the elderly bethel brother who arranged for the setting up and hosting of watchtowerfarm.org and an initially-suspicious inquirer.
(for background see: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/95848/1.ashx)
the entire exchange that precedes it is heartbreakingly illuminating as regards the tragic plight of elderly bethelites who've devoted their lives to the wbts and should, imo, be disseminated far and wide.

Memories of your JW Youth
by Nosferatu inafter reading the responses to amazing1914's recent post, i decided this would be a great thread to start.
please share some of your memories!.
when my mother first became a jw, i was very sporatic with meeting attendance.

<div>First off Nosferatu, let me apologize for being one of those "super-spiritual" baptized kids who probably wouldn't have invited you to very much... since you were unbaptized, a sporadic meeting attender... and therefore basically bad association.
<br></br><br></br>That by the way... is why no one would invite you anywhere.
<br></br><br></br>That said... it's not like I had any friends anyway. I'm a geeky kind of guy... but Witnesses aren't really allowed to be into things like comic books or movies. In the world I'd have probably joined a Dungeons and Dragons club or something... and at least had some friends. There's nothing like that in the JWs. In the JWs, only really outgoing people make friends. If that isn't you, you sit at home and hope one of outgoing people will invite you to do something. In the world, if you're shy and bookish, then you just hang out with other shy, bookish people. Not so at the hall. At the hall I was just the geeky elder's kid who the other kids would take with them sometimes out of pity, or because they felt like they had to because I was "good association".
<br></br><br></br>I made one real friend when I was 15... we're still friends. He's my only friend. All the rest of the people I used to hang around with dropped me as soon as they could find richer, cooler, and better looking people at other halls.
<br></br><br></br>Which left me alone, begging for attention.
<br></br><br></br>Pathetic.
That's not to say there weren't good times. When I did hang out with my fake friends, we'd have fun. In particular I remember one camping trip when I was 15 with a bunch of other Witness kids. Held hands with a girl for the first time then... in secret around a campfire. Later I discovered she was only doing it because she just wanted the experience... she'd never really consider having anything to do with me.
And there was fun in service... now and then I and a few of the other teenage guys around 16 - 17 would managed to work it so we'd all go out in Service together... no adults. Invariably we'd do about 15 minutes of service and then gleefully sneak off to the Arcade. Maybe we'd drop some tracts on the floor while in there. Ha!
And then when one of us at age 18 became a pioneer, we used to sneak back to the hall when no one was there and use our Pioneer friends key to go in to the empty KH and just hang out. STupid... giving a key like that to an 18 year old.
But mostly, it was crap. I had association... only when the more outgoing people at the hall needed a seat fillr, or couldn't find someone better to do something with, or felt bad for me. I was lucky in that I lived in a small town, so there weren't a lot of other people around in our age group for them to choose from.
<br></br><br></br>So look at it this way, though you were kind of ignored by the other kids at your hall, you're probably better off. They wouldn't have been real friends anyway. </div> -

He also said that he forbid his wife to preach to his 2 daughters, but they became dubs anyway. He said later he found out when he was gone all day at work his wife was breaking out the bible studies with his daughters. So I guess the wts says it is ok to lie and disobey your husband only if it furthers thier cause. I guess it is encouraged now.
New Light, maybe?

Actually, as you may recall... you're only supposed to be obedient to your husband (the family head) as long as it doesn't conflict with what God wants. For instance, god wants you to go to meetings and god wants you to indoctrinate your daughters.... so you can use any means necessary to accomplish that, regardless of what your family head wants.
