for those of you who have been here awhile... does it seem to you that there are more and more apostates showing up on this board, at a faster rate than in the past?.
Not really.
The board changes over time. It goes back and forth.
I remember a time when there were many here who were so anti witness, with venom. Any newbie who was still in and mentioned they were, seemed to be for a lashing.
That was many years ago though. To me the board has had many periods, for now it seems to be a happy medium for me.

i certainly do.. i have been debating with two jw's on another forum about the un issue.
i have produced so much evidence that the un did have their citeria of support when the wt society became an ngo, all from the un itself.
yet because the wt statements say that they didn't have that criteria and it was changed later the jw's refuse to believe anything else.. sometimes i think what's the point talking to these people.
Some good points made. I think i am going to bow out of the discussion i have had on the other forum as all the evidence from the UN is there for those that want to read it.
Besty, thanks for the info, i have never considered the "theocratic warfare strategy" before, it is a good opening line.

Hank Marvin is a Elder in Australia.
I thought he was in London - when did he move to Australia
He moved there many years ago. Not sure exactly when, but i remember seeing an interview with him around 10 years ago and he'd moved then. Paul
this happened to me throughout my time as a jw.
this would often happen on saturday morning before service.
sometimes as early as 4 am because i was expected to go out in service afterward the waterboarding.
I was forced to go to the book group if i missed the service.

reykjavik, iceland: thousands of icelanders marked the 90th anniversary of their nations sovereignty with angry protest monday, and several hundred stormed the central bank to demand the ouster of bankers they blame for the countrys spectacular economic meltdown.. tiny iceland has seen its banks and currency collapse in just a few weeks while prices and unemployment soar leaving a country regarded as a model of scandinavian prosperity in a state of shock.. the government played roulette and the whole nation has lost, .
anti-government protests have been growing larger and angrier since icelands three main banks collapsed in october under the weight of huge debts amassed during years of rapid economic growth.. .
will all global reaction to this world wide economic crisis eventually follow suit?.
I watched a report a couple of weeks, where they interviewed an Icelandic economic acedemic. He said the source of the Icelandic problem, lay with roughly 20 individual bankers. Obviously the government didn't give enough protection, but in a capitalist society and with the freedom of the markets, bankers have to hold their hands up and accept some sort of blame. Yet we have instances where countries now are bailing out the bankers. Which in my view is reverse Socialism, in Socialism money is taken from the rich and given to the poor, now we have the farsical situation where money is being taken from the poor and given to the rich.
Just my rant
