i posted a thread earlier this week about a conversation i had with my jw ex-wife.
the next day i sent her this e-mail.
one should never be afraid of ideas.
Fact checkers: Russell is NOT buried under the pyramid memorial, but instead has his own gravestone.
Good letter Seeker4, but shotgunning JWs with everything apostate is very uneffective. One or two triggers and the mind goes...off. If you have any errors in your text, they will immediately be used to disregard the rest of the valid content.
Sorry, but my opinion is your ex-wife will just use your email to validate the Society's "scary apostate" programming.
i was browsing the net yesterday and was looking up some you tube clips on jehovahs witnesses.
the wife then asks if she could use the net to check out something.
little did i realise she was checking my history trail (we're a trusting couple!
Pandora's box indeed, we can only hope...
If the internet is dangerous to JWs then YouTube and other video sites are instant poison to cult mind-sets. A well done video captures more senses in less time.
Plus YouTube is a very common site for JWs--still safe. Every time a JW searches for their cousin's baptism videos they are going to see a whole list of interesting videos as well.
Tell her not to watch Watchtower Comments while you are at it... www.youtube.com/wtcomments

Tophat: WOW! V, is that your voice? Good Job
The narrator's voice is actually our own Deaconblues, a real professional.
Aleman: You are so stuck on the past errors, LET IT BE, V!
Ahh, yes. According to Watchtower's own publications from 1942-2008 the Watchtower was wrong, not a progressive understanding, but wrong.
Who was directing "God's organisation" then I wonder?
just got done with a 3 hr.
argument with my family.
the essence of the conversation was that since im not going to the meetings, aka: in the organization, im not a good person.
Children baptized at a young age (7,8,9 years old) they are not old enough or mature enough to comprehend what they are doing.
If Jehovah did not approve of this, the Slave would have changed this a long time ago. They are old enough to comprehend what they are doing (marriage is completely different, it does not apply here).
Wrong, marriage does apply here and is lesssignificant than baptism because dedication/baptism does not end at death. In addition the Watchtower has repeatedly enforced that youth are not ready for marriage because they do not have the skill or experience of adults.
Try watching the Watchtower Comments videos and see if that helps your tactics: www.youtube.com/wtcomments
The next video will be addressing JW youth baptism directly.
it is good to know these videos are being put to good use.

A PM I received from "Mrs. Smith":
The presentations are mostly to small bible home groups from the local Methodist Church. We have been attending there for a few years.
My hubby and I do the presentation together. We discuss basic JW teachings. Personal experience in the cult and we then open for questions.In every group we have spoken to there have been people directly affected by JWs through friends and family.
We ask them not to be rude at the doors as this is seen as persecution but to rather be friendly and polite, but not to listen to their message.
This time because our presentation was so close after Easter we showed them your memorial clip to emphasise the differences between mainstream Christianity and JWs. We spoke about the JWs beliefs on the non-bodily resurection of Christ and the non particaticing of the emblems.
Most Christains know very little about JWs and find the information sad and shocking.
We have also been to a Presbyterian Church where we were the guest speakers for the evening service.
We feel the more people know and spread the information the harder it will be for JWs to get converts.
Where do you find the Awake quotes ? I only have them from the 70's forward .
If you are talking about the Watchtower Library on CD, the Society dumps another year every time a new CD is released. If you do not have access to an older CD or bound volumes then I suggest you provide the reference. The JW you are talking to can look it up in their Kingdom Hall library.
