That was well put and I subscribe to that analogy completely. Nicely done.

What will be the next big 'new light'?
by yaddayadda init's been a while since the watchtower overlords made any serious doctrinal changes.
wts 'new light' seems to be somewhat cyclical, around every ten years or so.
it's been just over 10 years since the 1995 'this generation' change.

Anyone ever seen a ghost?
by Clam inhave you ever seen a "ghost"?
if you did, were you scared, fascinated or straight to denial?.
if you did see one, were you a jw at the time and therefore did you believe it to be an apparition projected by the demons?

WALKING IN THE PATH OF INCREASING LIGHT - WT STUDY
by Mary infor those of you not "keeping up with the organization"botchtower deals soley with all the bullshit instances of "increased light" on this joke of a religion god's organization.
it asks many drone-like thought-provoking questions as i've listed below.

One proof they claim is that they are the only ones who keep thier congregation clean by expelling thousands a year for being sinful humans just like thier loving Lord Jesus.
I thought it was supposed to be love that was the identifying mark?

The greatest miracle of all is that the WBTS is still sucking the life out of millions and they gratefully submit to it.

If you are fading quietly but were much loved by some, then they want to encourage you. If you are vocal and trashing the cong in some way, they are on an investigation. You know whether you are vocal or not. If you haven't done anything wrong and you are just fading, then tell them thanks but you'll see them at the meetings when you get there. Right now you are having some personal matters to sort out and you will let them know if they can help. Right now you're ok. Jehovah is actively leading you through your own personal study and you are not anxious because you know everything will work out. Your faith is still strong. Thanks, will talk later.... etc.
That should hold them off. Were you a Pioneer or some other invaluable member of the (cough, choke) congregation that they want to get you back?
I wish you success.

I just wanted to say that as more time passes I find the scales falling from my eyes and the Truth about the mindset of the "Truth" becomes more apparent. Honestly, I see it as one sick way of viewing the world. Its so negative and self absorbed. The whole myopic view of all things not Witnoid is ghastly. Thank goodness I'm out.

Song 5 All Cweation Pwaise Jehobah (to be sung like Elmer Fudd.)
Note: Congregations are not to move their Service Meeting for the week of January 2 to an earlier night unless the circuit overseer is visiting because he needs to know the best hotel possible. In every congregation, the convention insert should be considered on the Service Meeting as scheduled, otherwise we cannot control your sorry asses effectively. If there is a circuit assembly this week, book study overseers should announce the convention location and dates at their regularly scheduled book studies or else. A copy of the Recommended Lodging List should be made available by the Congregation Book Study overseer so he can forget to bring it to the meetings and those in attendance cannot write down the hotel phone numbers for making their reservations. However, copies of the list should not be made for publishers because its hilarious to watch the pathetic losers scribble hotel phone numbers all over the back of the Field Service Report slips.
5 min: Local announcements. Remember to remind publishers of memorable reminders they might need reminding about.
15 min: "Make Wise Use of Our Babel-Based Literature." * Include comments on the September 2002 Our Kingdom Ministry, page 1. paragraph 2, word 3; “of”. Spend all 14 minutes explaining the origin of the word and its significance in making wise use “of” our Babel-Based literature.
25 min: "2006 'Deliverance at Ham' Dip-stick Convention of Jehovah's Nitwit-nesses." * To be mishandled by the congregation secretary. After considering paragraph 1, read the December 15, 2005 convention assignment letter, you know, the one the P.O.’s wife has been reading to her friends over the phone for a week. Encourage all to make their convention estrangements as soon as plausible.
Song 48 Give Jehovah the Mayonnaise and concluding prayer.
* Limit introductory comments to less than a lifetime, and follow with a question-and-answer concussion.
