real research as I know they have never read anything written by Russell. Thanks
suppose you had a business that didn't make money.
you would try to make the thing more efficient and probably lay off.
some workers to cut costs.
I think they will be around as long as there are people that are desperate, gullible.
in need of a feeling of saftey, superiority, etc. Just as many existing JW's
ignore the facts and desperatly cling JWism to satisfy whichever
their need is, there are others just like them. Like it's been said.
there's a sucker born everyday.
hey guys, album is going great so far... i hope we can finish it in 2008, around may or june.
anyway, i just had a thought which made me stop in for a while.
i was discussing something with a friend the other day, i hadn't even started speaking nor had i brought up the core of my point before he started screaming like some wild manaic; he started making up "straw man" arguments one after the other ad infinum, yelling like a banshee and accusing me of all sorts of thoughts that i don't believe... it was really bazarre.
I have come to view it as speaking to someone in a language they don't understand.
How long would you frustrate yourself talking to someone that doesn't understand a word
of what your saying? Once a logical point has been made and a JW suddenly doesn't
have the capacity to apply reason and logic, the language of common sense speak,
I don't waste my time anymore.
You know that confident look you can give someone when you know something they don't?
It's kind of a, you poor misguided moron, I feel sorry for you, look. That's what they get
from then on.
talking to a friend (ex-elder) today whose wife was (is) a close friend of mine .
she's still a jdub but won't talk to me now i'm df'd (apparently it hit her very hard when we left) and so she busied herself with ministry and meetings in search of comfort and affirmation of her faith.
this didn't work for her and she came out with an unexpected question... .
When I'm asked that question I say this: If you were traveling somewhere, not knowing exactly
how to get there, but knew one thing for sure......... it wasn't South. Then you came to a cross
road that said North to the right and South to the left, which way would you go? To the right of course.
Well having come to a crossroad in my life, I don't have all the answers, but I have learned enough to
know that the WBTS is not the road God wants me to take. Do your research and you understand why.
why are we not all getting together as a group and get back at the borg for what they have done to us?
"there is strength in numbers" and definitely enough of us.
we have all suffered in similar ways, some more than others.
They no doubt would, but they would also become aware of something that the WBTS
has tried to sweep under the rug. The point is to bring awareness to the community. Let the JW's
think what they want, but when they go out in service and have to skip so many houses
because they have been added to the, do not visit list, they will have no choice but to wake up
to the reality of the situation. Who knows, something like this might even begin to get news coverage.
a grassroots movement using the enemies tactics aganist the enemy.. grassroots community outreach to educate about the threat that comes knocking at their door.. cut the wbts at the knees......grassroots style.
imagine the reaction of the local boe's recieving regularly updated list of householders.
requesting no more jw visits or legal action will be taken.

I've often thought about the door to door training they gave being used against them.
Imagine groups of casually dress individuals doing a community outreach to
alert them about an organization that harbors child abusers and encourages them
knock at their doors on a regular bases. News articles could be left with
the householder and they could be encouraged to add their name and address to a "do not call at this home list".
This list would then be sent to the local congregations, informing them that these householders
do not want JW's to visit them. Those on the list could be called once a month or so to confirm that JW's are
not violating their rights to not recieve visits.
This could really publicize what the WBTS has tried to sweep under the rug and help others not be fooled by them.
What do you think?
another delightful, spiritually meaty 192 page publication from the "faithful and discreet slave class".
front cover - jesus waving.. .
back cover - do you feel lost and in need of direction?
Constantly making more books filled with regurgitated rhetoric reminds me of the warning at Ecclesiastes 12:12.
" As regards anything besides these, my son, take a warning: To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion [to them] is wearisome to the flesh."
But of course this doesn't apply to the WBTS and their endless book production.
And as always, due to their blantant double standards, neither do their constant condemnations don't apply to them, although anyone that hasn't subjugated their ability to think and reason can see the obvious hypocricy .

w0010/1p.10BibleReading—ProfitableandPleasurable***"One might add that the reading of many books published today is not only wearisome to the flesh but, frankly, dangerous to the mind."
***
w9911/15p.22AreYouFulfillingYourWholeObligationtoGod?***"Well, compared with Jehovah’s Word, the endless volumes of this world contain mere human reasoning. Much of this thinking reflects the mind of Satan the Devil. (2 Corinthians 4:4) Therefore, "much devotion" to such secular material produces little of lasting value. In fact, a great deal of it can be spiritually detrimental."
How do you harmonize that with this?

"You could also consider limiting yourself to no more than a certain number of hours on the Internet each week, or at least balancing the amount of time spent online with an equal amount of time reading books."—DataSmog—SurvivingtheInformationGlut
Oh I see. The internet can be easily used to unveil the lever pulling wizard behind the curtain, and that has to be prevented at all cost. Therefore reading books is a good thing afterall, unless it CoC of course.
the relationship between local elders and the circuit overseer has fluctuated over the years.
in the sixties, .
the circuit overseer simply appointed all the servants.
As I young boy I saw how the BOE put on a front when the CO visited.
They were at the meeting extra early, made sure the meeting started and
parts ended on time, did a lot of shucking, jiving and butt kissing, etc. This diminished my
respect for them. It also made me look at the CO correctly, as just another man.
Fast forward 30 so years and my attitude being the same, led to my deletion and exit.
I had the audacity to stand up for what was right against a ego inflated CO
and the kiss ass BOE elders.
Good thing it happened, for it was the beginning of my awakening to the truth about the troof.
