I would have delusions that if they all hit Bethel (actually the service desk is in Patterson now) it would mess them up for a while, having to dig through the pile to find the real ones. Using real street names with bogus numbers and real sounding names could certainty frustrate the local elders when it turns in to a wild goose chase. On top of that include real issues that 'a witness told me at the door' Definitely should stay away from bugging the innocent people, JW's bang their doors enough on Sat mornings. So either our real names on some (I would welcome the visit, you know keepin the spiritual talons sharp) and then mix in a bunch of bogus names. Nice to muck up their works for a while.

jimwood and someone else suggested a letter writing campaign, bombarding the wts with letters old and new on any topic, complaint, issue and problem.

participation, dates and suggestions would be appreciated!

You don't need to use your real name. Like when I fill out the contact form on the Borg site. Mel Stroker and use the address of the local Adult Book store. I wonder if they ever went in.....

I’m in. Put me down for no fewer that 5 separate mailings.

You can send in old letters you sent in before, new stuff you can come up with, anything.

Remember they don’t need to make sense (GB don’t) just need to have the appearance so that time is wasted at Crookland.

How about Oct 31 st , 2006 they all hit NYC.

WTBTS guidance on SMALL social gatherings.

by Gill in

the october 15th watchtower gives advice on social gatherings.

try not to throw up or pee your pants laughing at some of the advice!.

Since when have men arranged the wedding plans. I thought it was the guys job to show up, somewhat sober, and say I did, I mean do.

This is good news to me, I thought that it was custom for the bride’s dad to shell out for the ‘social gathering’, life just got cheaper because I have two daughters.

JW sighting at the supermarket

last weekend i was picking up a few things for dinner and was just ringing through the order when i noticed the person behind me examining the cake i was buying a little too closely.

it was a jw woman we used to know.

apparently she was hell bent on figuring out whether this cake was for some kind of celebration (it wasn't) so she could run back to her husband the elder and try to cause trouble for me.

Misery loves company, that’s why they pound on doors looking for sheeple, and get depressed when the smart ones leave.

Name Things JWs Try To "Demonize"

the witnesses are always trying to scare the faithful by telling them that if they don't adhere to the teachings and lifestyle of the brotherhood-----that bad things are going to happen to them.

for example, they might tell you of brother regret who left the "truth", had "fun" in the "world" and then got aids.

now he's back in the "truth" but he only has months to live................can you think of other examples of how the witnesses try to spook the rank and file?

You stayed awake long enough to hear the title?

Anything with competition or danger to life. So don’t drive in the passing lane, unless your going home from an ass-embly, and don’t over eat, unless your going to the China-buffet after the Sunday morning snoozefest, then you can pig out with the speaker that gave you a good morning nap.

I am looking for examples of where the WTS has misquoted or misrepresented different ‘worldly authorities’ or sources in their publications. If anyone can point me to web sites that have this info or if you personally have found items I would love to have it. I have a lot of non-referenced quotes, a huge no no in academia, that I am researching to find the original source. This of course is difficult when the accuracy of the ‘quote’ is in question.

Anyhow, any help would be great.
