Let me do that again with out posting a blank message.... D'OH!
I never really enjoyed the Conventions or assemblies...and that was when I was a JW and being faithful to the WTS and Jehovah.
I would suggest you do not go.

Please don't take offence at this ...
by Joe Grundy ini'm not a jw, never have been, and in no danger of becoming one.. having read several of the wt mags and publications (and many more extracts on this and other sites) they come across to me as being very patronising in tone and full of pseudo-scholarship, misquoted (or unnamed) sources, references taken out of context, mis-translations, etc.
i'm aware of jw 'teaching' on the subject of higher education for its members (i.e.
not a good or necessary thing) so i can understand why many jws raised in it may not challenge the publications.

Actaully..the tone of some publications does indeed come across..almost childish...I think the questions at the bottom of each page almost belittles any intelligence that I might have.

LOL...looking_glass..Am I you?...Am I your alter ego...Maybe I need to take a long hard look at my self in the looking glass...erm!...sorry...Mirror.
I think dido has hit the nail on the head...the JW religion appeals to thos that are down and drepessed maybe suffering from the death of a loved one...so the talk about a new system and and edn of a wicked system and the chance of see dead loved ones again put on an earth with no hate a paradise just sounds so wonderful, and also the first time you go to a meeting you will feel wanted and everyone seems so friendly and loving...It really does act like a trap. I am sure that a lot people that came into 'The Truth' and not born in to it came into it that way. It was one of the things that appealed to me at first.

There are a lot of clever people among the JW's. I read once an article about a Biologist (I think he was a biologist) that became a JW. He became interested in the possiblity of a God through his research.
I actually do know of JW's that went to university and have degrees and PHDs...etc.
I think we oaught to be careful and not say things like JW's are stupid and uneducated. They are just mislead...we have all been mislead and sometime in our lives.

Blimey! the're ummmm! a bit errrrrr! insane. Don't you think? I wonder if the site was started by an ex-JW? I know some ex-JW's do try and start up their own religion.
Who is this 'Bibleman' geezer that has been mention in the posts? I've never heard of him.
Anyway the 'Lords Witnesses' seem more crazy that the WTBTS...with out doubt...they are a cult
