The name is direct and to the point. Sometimes it is good to be subtle sometimes you have to get right to the point. I think in this case a lot of people are saying enough is enough and are trying to do something to put an end to all the damage the Watchtower does to peoples lives. I don't see a problem with that.

"You don't get a second chance to make a first impression" AAWA
by yesidid inthe first impression one has of any group or organization is its name.
that is my problem with "the name'.
active, or even questioning witnesses will undoubtedly be alarmed by the connotation of name.

The FIRST Memorial Ive missed in 41 years
by Londo111 inlast year, my last jw memorial, i listened to the talk as an outsider would.
the speaker strung unrelated texts together and for the first time, i saw that the interpretations made no sense.
afterward, i had a private memorial with homemade unleavened bread and wine with four people--three of whom partook.

Why attend when you can deny Christ in the privacy of your own home.

warped logic from the memorial talk
by why144000 inspeaker said we should not partake because when jesus arrives he will take the remnat to heaven and the memorial will be no more.
just as we will not partake then (because the memorial will not exist) it is only logical that we will not partake now.
warped logic at its finest!.

First thing that came to mind when I read your post was exactly what Terry said. Jesus said do this till I return...well didn't he return in 1914? I mean in their mind not in reality.
A big part of the problem cults have when they make things up claiming some special knowledge is that they don't think things completely through and then find themselves in trouble trying to explain their position which usually leads to more lying and making more things up.
They didn't think it through when the came up with their two class of Christian system. The partakers (heavenly hopers) non partakers (earthly hopers). They didn't look far enough into the future to see a time when their KH would be filled with people passing around the wine and crackers and no one partaking of them in what has turned in to a ridiculous farce doing the exact opposite of what was originally intended.
On their biggest day of the year they gather together to deny communion with Christ. Seems a odd thing for those claiming to be the only true Christians to do.

My terminally ill friend will read this; please offer your love and support.
by compound complex indear friends:.
forty-five years ago i was out in service with an elder, and we came upon a house where the owners kindly received us.
this was not so unusual as the family was jehovah's witnesses.

I'm sorry to hear you are going through this Mike and hope and pray for your full recovery. Perhaps with your permission CoCo could tell us a little bit more about you and some of the experiences you two have had together. Personally I believe that our lives in this world is only part of the story but a lot of times the stories can be pretty interesting.
I wish you all the best Mike.

Is claiming your baptism null and void an exit plan?
by awakening ini have read some of you talking about baptism not being a legaly binding contract as, for most it was undertaken as a minor.
has anyone successfuly nulled their baptism and exited free of consequence?.

At one time they may have been able to claim that is was between you and God but now that they are baptizing you into an organization that story doesn't hold water.
Even if it were legally a legally binding contract (which it is not) it would be declared null and void because they misrepresented themselves to you to get you to accept them as God rep. They lied to you about their history. They lied about how and when they were selected by God. They did this to get you to sign up for package they claimed to be the truth but the whole thing was build on false prophecies and lies.
