What is the most objectionable thing you have heard off the platform?
by restrangled ini know many have quoted ridiculous statements from the assemblies etc., i just wonder what irked you most off of the platform in your own kh.. the one that sticks out in my mind was when we had a guest speaker on a sunday for the public talk.
i don't remember the theme but his main point was the starving people in africa did not need food.
he stated they needed spiritual food and would opt for that over a meal because they realize they could eat in the new order and there was no need to send any donations directly.

Never trust brothers you don't know!
by 5thGeneration inwell, i broke it to my super devout parents that after this i don't believe there is any reason why i should trust any 'brother' i don't know around my kids.. no way, no how!.
they had to admit this was pretty shocking and enlightening but they still ended up making excuses.
the society will soon have to drop the 'we are better than everyone else' argument for sure.

by hopie inthere are millions world wide leaving their centuries old organized religions, why are ex-jw's joining together to create a fellowship and support system?.
are we the forerunners of something big?.

fun with CD
by Jerry1 inquestion box.
how should matters be handled when a householder insists that jehovahs witnesses make no further calls at that home?.
when we encounter a sign at the door that strictly prohibits calls of a religious nature and specifically mentions jehovahs witnesses, it may be best to respect the householders wishes and avoid knocking.. .

How Many More Ways Can The Society Shoot Itself In The Foot???
by minimus inwhat kind of religion forces its elders to ask every imaginable question regarding sex to its congregants?
the elders are told by "mother" that they must ask specific sexual questions and decipher whether a person should be classified as meriting a judicial committee or "just" counsel from a couple of men.
who the hell do these men think they are???

PreExistence
by Bookey inanother major bible topic that is often misunderstood is the allged preexistence of the messiah.
the messiah's mother, miriam, or mary as the greeks say, would beg to differ about the origin of her son's life.
she would be the first to say (if she were not a pile of bones somewhere in a tomb) that the her son was a human being who she raised on her lap.

Actual Number of the anointed remaining
by core inheard from a sister that a visitor to their cong (from usa) mentioned in passing that at the top at brooklyn they did not think that the reported number of anointed still alive was accurate, rather they believe that only a couple of hundred remain.
they apparently believe this points to the end soon (again) - also if it is true they are not proclaiming it (obviously because the time limit it imposes will be exposed as another failed date).
odd if that is the case as they keep on finding gb members who are not actually very old
