let's say it plainly, for once.
jehovah's witnesses deserve to be persecuted.. at one time, jehovah's witnesses suffered terribly in germany and communist countries - but that was a long time ago.. right now, the watchtower's minions are slyly preaching to circuit assemblies about the importance of shunning their ex-witness.

Isn't that incitement to hatred based on religion ??
Well, isn't that something the watchtower itself has practiced right from it's beginnings? And continues to this day when former members exerceise their constitutional right of freedom of religion?

i am a 25 year old female, and have been studing the truth for the past 2years.
my mother taught it to me since i was little, it always made sense to me and was something i wanted in my life.i hadn't made it a big part of my life, until two years ago when i started my own study.
i am getting older and would like to meet someone to be with who is a jehovahs witness, or someone like me who is working towards that.
It has been so hard, because I date ppl who are not in the truth, and when I try to teach them about it they have no intrest, but want to continue dating me regardless.
By dating people who are not JWs you are on the right track.
Rather than teach them about it do some research into the entire history of the watchtower. You'll think twice about getting involved with them. Please don't ruin your life as so many of us have.
Welcome to the board.

a poll, inspired by gumby.... one vote here for not giving a shyte..
Your mom would be one in a few who would exit the witnesses over a menial uncovering such as this.
Maybe so, but what the hell? Whatever works... It might be enough to get her to take the REAL issues more seriously. One can only hope... Maybe me and the pyramid on a camcorder would suffice.

Yeah, I give a shyte. My mom thinks the other issues I've discussed with her were "apostate fabrications". If I could prove to her conclusively that Russell was a Freemason it might be enough to get her out of the cult.

As long as Jehovah's Witnessespursue this underhanded policy of breaking up families to preserve their cultish authority, they deserve to be banned,
imprisoned, expelled, taxed, and oppressed.
A good asskicking may help some of them too.

do you realize that now elders are forced to "set the example" and do menial tasks like mow the lawn, clean the bathrooms and "handle the mikes".
there's no one left!
All the young people are either gone, put on restrictions or simply not qualified to have "privileges".
"Not qualified". LMAO!!! In other words, people are beginning to smarten up. There are not enough people who are stupid enough to do their menial shit for free anymore. Anyone with a brain has left.

My niece's newborn daughter got baptized as a Catholic on Saturday, so I attended this event which was followed up by a nice lunch at a Chinese buffet!

i have a question - the society laments about those jw's who ignore "wisdom from above" to pioneer after high school but go to college instead.. they use a fictional account of timothy rejecting higher education at the drama this year.. they scream in the oct 1st wt that university (consisting of four years) is bad and ask rheotorical questions to parents such as, "christian parents, is this what you really want for your children?".
if the act of going to college campus was so bad, why doesn't the society permit "online degrees?
" - these are more cost effective and just as valuable as a traditional campus based ecuation.. so what is it about going to university that really upsets them?.
It's all about information control. They don't want their members accessing information that doesn't originate with the watchtower. That's why, throughout their history, they've spoken against education, television, the internet, music, and "worldly" magazines and newspapers.

has anyone else noticed that in recent years the new releases have less 'chunky' content?
a book of maps, a children's book about jesus (?
), and this year's book which summarises main witness teachings (from what i gathered anyway, i haven't seen it yet).. the language is simpler, the message trimmed up nicely.. i wonder why.
Less content means less backpeddling. As long as they stick to fuzzy lions and lambs on people's front lawns and keep their mouths shut about anything else there will be no need for further new lightâ„¢, which has exposed them as liars many times.
