  hi everyone.. i'm keen to read more books about jw's.

  i've so far only read crisis of conscience but now have the appetite.i'd be more interested in the background of the organisation and what kind of people russell and rutherford were etc, but i'd also like to read any "apostate" exposes, especially ex elders.

  thanks in advance.

  as jws we all were forced to participate in their evangelistic method.

  i think that it is based primarily on fear.

  here is an article about true, holy spirit powered evangelism.

  "I know that this question must of been asked before, but I wasn't here when it was asked. So, I'm asking again. How do you get by when you're stressed to the point of no return?"
  
  Hmm, two questions. What gives my life meaning and purpose?
  
  I do.
  
  How do I get by when I'm stressed?
  
  I meditate for at least 90 minures a day. I've been at it for over thitty-three years.

  HI Jeanniebeanz
  
  This is Nate!
  
  The owner of the board blocked me because I wasn't being subserviant (story of my life, not being subserviant or obsequious), so I had to make a new identity. So far I haven't been blocked on this screen name.
  
  I'm glad you enjoyed my little diss n rant.

  GODIDIT! God is MAGICAL! He can do ANYTHING! God can even make a giant turnip that plays the harmonica while it spews stars and planets out its ass.
  
  So WHAT if the Bible says the earth is only six thousand years old, but light from distant galaxies took BILLIONS of years to reach the earth?
  
  GODDIDIT! God simply sped the light up and then slowed it back down once it reached the earth!
  
  So WHAT if 98% of all species are now DEAD and the species now living are a paltry few in comparison?
  
  GODDIDIT! He drowned them in the Big Flood!
  
  So WHAT if the Ark was way too small for all the hundreds of millions of species and their food, water, and feces?
  
  GODIDIT! God simply made a space-time warp or something so that the Ark was way the HELL bigger on the inside than the outside! Plus, he gave superhuman speed and endurance to Noah and his family as they feverishly sped about caring for the animals!
  
  So WHAT if there are clear transition species, such as archaeoptyrix? Or the various furred reptiles?
  
  GODIDIT! He made these chimeras expressly to fool the unwary who would put faith in science rather than Book-Chapter-Verse!
  
  So WHAT if the Bible says disease is caused by evil spirits and sin, but science says it's caused by pathogens?
  
  GODIDIT! The demons USE pathogens to do their devilish work! No contradiction!
  
  GODDIDIT GODIDIT GODDIDIT!
  
  So WHAT if there is no scientific evidence that God sped up the light and then slowed it down? You gotta BELIEVE!
  
  Hypocrisy you say? Demanding evidence for theories from deluded scientists, but not supplying any proof for our theories such as the sped-up light? BLASPHEMER! HERETIC! HELLFIRE FODDER!
  
  So WHAT if there arent any cow-toothed T-Rex or cow-toothed lions and tiger and bears (oh my!) in the fossil record, but we still castigate evolution for the relative paucity of transitional forms?
  
  GODDIDIT!
  
  GOD DAMN IT GOD DID IT!
  
  "The Bible SAYS it, I BELIEVE it, that SETTLES it!" Blort.
  
  Man, if there is evidence LACKING for creationism MAKE IT UP! It's all for a good cause, The Truth, and we all know the Bible is right, so it's okay to lie for the Truth. We will be vindicated anyway, and shown to not have been lying! So MAKE SHIT UP for the GLOWRY OF JEEEEE-ZUS!
