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 have found certain questions very effective in helping open my moms eyes.. she saw me go from infancy to elder over a period of 40 years.. when i stopped attending meetings, she couldn't understand it.. i now understanding how being a jw causes real thinking ability to malfunction or.

cease operating all together.

the effort to revive her thinking ability has worked to a degree.

i called hq under this guise: i am an interested person who has two jw'svisiting me periodically.

i think they are very nice people and we have good conversations,but recently something disturbed me.

can anyone provide a list of, or a link to, examples where the wtbt cd-rom info is different from what is written in the bound volumes?.

also can anyone remember the question (directed at everyone except jw's) from a watchtower or awake saying something along the lines of "can you be proud of all the actions of the religion you are a part of?.

Beards and bald heads

what do you think about the wts prohibition on beards?

currently in the us, i think a brother can wear a beard, he just won't be used in the congregation.

i see all references in the wt to beards are in a negative light, such as the supreme court upholding a supermarket chains no beards rule.

22 as god?s organization grows, more elders are appointed.

they, as well as the more experienced elders, must understand that their position is one of humble service.

in this way, as god moves his organization toward the new world, it will continue to grow as he wants?well organized but not sacrificing love and compassion for efficiency.
