Nice analysis! I was a drone for a long time. I really believed, but I'm not a high energy/overly social person, so I did what I had to and not much more. LOL
LMAO at your description of group B. I knew more than a couple of these folks.

What do you feel when you see groups of Jehovah's Witnesses on the street?

the bus driver would blow the horn while everyone on the bus would hold up Watchtowers and scream...
LMAO! Actually, that's kind of cute in a weird, cult-like sorta way. Did you participate in the fun, Richie? Did they sing songs and stuff too?
Btw, how was the DC for you...didn't you go last weekend or is it coming up?

I hardly ever see any! The town I work in (and live close to, so do most of my shopping, etc in) has banned JW's from working d2d. They will occassionally try to work a shopping center parking lot, but so far I haven't run into them.

What are your goals in life that don't involve the WTS?
by John Doe ini'm just curious.
i know this is a wts discussion forum, but by some posts, it seems as if the wts never leaves some heads.
also, a lot seems to be conspiracy theory.

My goals are:
- to get more physically fit
- to find some sort of active hobby to counter balance sitting on my rear end reading books and going to movies.
- to make some friends that live in the same area I do. (closest friend is in Rhode Island)
- to learn how to live as a normal person again.
- to work on my house
- to get debt paid off this year
- after debt is paid off, travel more
- to go to an apostafest someday

WAR IS NOT FUN
by chrissy inas i was reading the seattle stranger tonight, i came across a hilarious submission under the "i, anonymous", a sort of rant and rave submission column.
i thought someone else, a fellow gal perhaps, might get a chuckle.... war is not fun.
to the "freedom-lovin'" douchebag who left the "critique" of my bumper stickers on my car: you question how a "veteran" can be against war.

My father is Mr. Patriot. He has never been in the military. Seems like some of the biggest, most vocal supporters of war are people who have absolutely no clue.

The JW new world system scum
by greendawn inwe now know that the new system of things as imagined by the jws is a myth, a poison that's meant to seduce the unaware into the org so that they can then be controlled, abused, and exploited.
but during the time when you were taken in by the myth what sort of things were you imagining about this delightful new world and your participation in it?
or perhaps deep down you never really believed it and ignored it.

I had a pretty hard time picturing it...at least picturing it like the illustrations of their's. I couldn't get past the aftermath of Armadeddon with no electricity, no running water, no transportation, and no food. I just did not see Jesus waving his sword of vengence and delivering us from that. If you look at the Bible as a blueprint of how Jehovah deals with his peoples, they never got anything without a lot of work and rules.
I figured there'd be a hundreds of years of cleaning and repairing to do and then hundreds more of people getting resurrected and "trained". Hell, we'd all need training in what Jehovah's version of perfection is so we could work towards it for a thousand years (that worried me a lot).
It was all very fuzzy...and it seemed like everybody had their own peculiar vision of what a paradise earth was going to be. A lot of people were bound to be disappointed.

I kind of like the dinosaur/alien connection, SNG. Maybe they are related to the aliens that the Scientologists find out about when they get to their inner circle. I'd like to think Rutherford was abducted by aliens, had most of his memories erased, and then dumped back on earth with programing to take over and whip the Bible Students into a frothy mega cult. Those aliens have a lot to answer for!
