i think my mains reasons would be i don't believe they have "truth".
and i refuse to allow them control over me..
They are a very dangerous cult and have far more power than you may think.
They will lie there way out of any situation to your disadvantage.
They have very little interest in what they call the truth.
Elders and above for the most part are just on an ego power trip.
the 2011 convention theme is..................(drum roll).
.
"let god's kingdom come.
was the watchtower the first ones to register this domain name or did they buy it?.
if they bought it how much did they pay?.

ok i was just blown away when i heard this today while driving, at first i thought it was the some old same old but then it went on and it seems like it is on a different level.. the subheading is "guard your heart by exercising self-control.
on page 27 par 17 it says "one way a person could wonder into the foolish course of the "young man in want of heart" is by aimlessly flipping though television channels or surfing the internet.
whether intentionally or not, he might chance upon sexually stimulating scenes.
"Others have decided not to have access to the Internet." (Read Matthew 5:27-30.)
(Matthew
5:27-30)27 "YOU heard that it was said, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to YOU that everyone that keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If, now, that right eye of yours is making you stumble, tear it out and throw it away from you. For it is more beneficial to you for one of your members to be lost to you than for your whole body to be pitched into Ge·hen′na. 30 Also, if your right hand is making you stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is more beneficial to you for one of your members to be lost than for your whole body to land in Ge·hen′na.
did you study beforehand?
alot?
did you only "study" while you are reading the paragraphs during the wt study and still make great comments?.
I thought SO! - I prestudied, highlighted and underlined; put my hand up and waited.
On the few occasions I was asked; the elders weren't very impressed so I stopped answering.
A few years ago the BOE wrote to the branch and said:
"Brother fokyc reads ALL the societies literature; BUT only, it seems, to find fault".
had a quick look at the april km - they are having (yet) another invitation campaign to the convention.
slight twist though , in that any invitations not used are to be taken to the convention & used in informal witnessing.. traditional "convention reminders" insert - usual stuff about "jehovah arranging the program" , get early to the stadium , tip restaurant staff , don't make a scene at hotel reception desks if they have messed up your booking , no peeing in the hotel pool etc.
(i made the last one up , but you get the gist.
Dozy; could you possibly post a PDF or page scans of your March/April 2011 Kingdom Ministry's?
You wet/whet our appetites and leave us hungry!
sorry to trouble you all, but does anyone have a scanable copy of the march 2011 kingdom ministry (british), or know where i could possibly download a copy?
have managed in previous months to find them online, but this one is proving elusive!.
not attended the meetings in ages been to ill, and it now appears the congregation's forgotten about me!
As soon as I get it I will scan and post; the elders don't rush round to my door and deliver!
I have to wait for Sister Fokyc to collect it.
i have been reading a bit in this book and so far its a pretty depressive experience.
gitts project seem to be to redefine the extend the concept of "information", and use it to show that god made all life.
its rather trivial to observe that gitt never does such a thing.
Most of Gitts books are available for download in PDF and in English here:

Who is Dr. Werner Gitt? answered here:
does anyone have a link for the latest wtcd rom?
if so, would you please pm me the link?.
thanks in advance!.
You have a PM!
jehovah's witnesses love to claim that they are a true religion because they are the most loving people on earth.
they rant and rave about how they apply john 13:35 to themselves.. in a recent conversation with djeggnog, i was shocked at some of the hateful things that he was saying to me.
now i know that i have been in some pretty heated debates with others, but i try to never make it personal.
Whilst YOU agree with everything they say and think; they are nice loving people.
BUT
IF you have the temerity to disagree with their opinions; watch out!!
They can be the nastiest unloving people you have ever met!!
Particularly the elders!! I KNOW from experience!!
