I would send it with the appropriate modifications mentioned above. In my view, the ideal result in the majority of situations is to be left alone and not have to DA or be DF'd. Nothing will disturb the BOE or the JC more. I assume the bros/sis in the area have heard any gossip about you. Hearing all the stories and not see any action being taken will only cause confusion. You will still technically be a JW and there won't be a thing they can do about it. Go for it.

Need Help - Best Course to Reduce Gullibility
by Satanus insome friends of mine have a fairly smart kid, but he is a bit gullible.
he tends to pick up things like from tv adds or stuff from his peers.
since he is going to college or university, i was wondering what would be a good course for him to take to wise him up a bit and be more his own person.

He sounds a bit like me!
Let him get on with it, he'll probably do what he wants anyway. He probably thinks he's clued up already. Most kids do at 18 ish - you can't change it.

Watchtower.org article on tattoos
by AlmostAtheist inhey all,.
i'm practically brain-dead this afternoon, unable to handle anything of any intellectual level to speak of.
so i thought i'd drop by watchtower.org and see what drivel they were passing off these days.. one of the lead articles is "should i get a tattoo?".

I think the big announcement was the new tract campaign.
When I heard about the new campaign and how close armageddon is it really made me think that I'd been an utter fool to question the WTBS. Hold on, no it didn't that last bit was a lie.

Your going to the meetings whether you like it or not!
by Atlantis inyour going to the meetings whether you like it or not!
thousands of jehovah's witness children have heard those threatening words backed-up with spankings, whippings, or even severe beatings.
but what if they are too small to understand?

I am not an expert by any means, but I always thought that children's (under 8 or 9) bedtimes were supposed to be around 7 or 8pm. I think it's odd to make a child got to bed at this time on any night, but not on Tues or Thurs when the meetings are on. Surely it messes with their circadian rythyms? I remember being kept up till 11pm after every group or Thurs meeting when I was small (once we'd dropped off the old dear who lived miles out in the sticks). I didn't mind though cos I always got chips from the chippie after the meeting- yum yum! But only if I was good....

What's it like?
by Jerohobobonadad inhello all.. i have always wondered what feelings people have in the hours/minutes prior to getting baptised, the seconds immediately afterwards and then the first few hours thereafter?.
i've never done it, but it seems like it would be a real head f-!.
anyone willing to share their experiences?.

Thanks Becca.
I brought this up because I remember seeing some people crying, some (like a friend of mine) went completely hyper active and went around shaking everyone's hand, one guy I know went outside for a cigarette during the lunch break, others don't seem to be affected much.

What is God???
by BlackSwan of Memphis inis god just a ball of energy hanging around?.
is god a spirit person as the jw's suggest?.
ok, so i realize that there are a large number of atheists here, of which group i am ever so slowly counting myself among, who would love to shout down the topic with 'there is no god".

God is mans way of explaining the unexplainable. I read that somewhere, it makes sense to me.
I would say this also: If you argue that everything on earth exists and shows evidence of thought and design then there must be a god/ God, then apply that same reasoning to god / God it goes on and on ad infinitum.
I would say that it is impossible to know for a certainty whether there is a god/ God or not. Either atheism of theism takes a leap of faith. I am not prepared to take a leap in either direction.
