  Do You Think "Apostates" Are All A Bunch of Whiners?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every so often, you'll see a jw come onto these sites and bash us because we're only looking at the negatives regarding the witnesses.

  i don't think we are unfair at all.

  at least we speak the "truth".

  Where or what would you be today, if you would have never became a JW?

  by JH in

  .

  often i wonder what i would be doing or even where would i be living, if i would have never met the jw's back in the late 80's.. maybe it wouldn't have made any difference, or on the contrary, maybe a huge difference.

  the only way to really know would be to go back in time and change what happened and that's impossible.. .

  The cards are stacked in the WTS favor this summer

  by Gregor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the upcoming dc program, whatever it is, will have a very receptive audience.

  if the wts was ever going to do anything audacious, now is the time.

  they will be allowed to get away with anything they say.

  Loss of Elders

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  large numbers of jw congregations are going to be trouble long before they lose their last elder to death or resignation.. most congregations i know have at least one - and often several - elders who can barely function at all, due to illness, old age.

  or just plain inability to accomplish anything.

  the society seems loathe to remove these men, despite their 'elder in name only'.

  the Big News & 60 Min. or 20/20 or Dateline ?

  by carla in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  what if we did a letter writing campaign to one of the big news shows about the 'big news' and asked them to check into this?

  i think it would require large amounts of mail to get noticed.

  any thoughts on this?
