How can you doubt the value of cloning? Haven't you watched Austin Powers movies and seen "Mini Me"?
However, conception by cloning doesn't appear to be nearly as much fun as the old fashioned way.

Whether we are aware of it or not, this forum and the contributions to it has helped and is helping hundreds of good people who have been injured by an evil Watchtower Society. It doesn't matter if you are now a born again Christian, a non-Christian, agnostic or an athiest, many of you are now free to think and act for yourselves. That may just be the greatest asset you have in life.
When I left the WTS in 1984 I felt very alone in my decision and really had no one with whom to talk about it. Simon, you are providing a wonderful service for so many. Please continue this for as long as possible.
I sincerely wish peace and happiness to you all.

Islam=Violence article...
by reporter innovember 26, 2002. by larry witham, the washington times.
religious broadcaster pat robertson said yesterday the news media and political leaders have failed to educate americans about violence in the koran and in islamic history and wishes president bush had never said that "islam is a religion of peace.".
"he is not elected as chief theologian," mr. robertson said.. .

While I don't hold Christianity up as a historically blameless ideology, I think it is missing the point to say that criticism of Islam and it's propensity for violence against non-believers should be discounted because Christianity also has it's faults. Personally, I'm an athiest so I don't have a dog in this fight. But speaking as an American citizen, I find the current level of violence, death and mayhem from the Muslim world to be appalling.
If Christianity were involved in the Crusades right now, I'd likely be condemning it in the strongest possible language. But the Crusades are not contemporary news. Islamic terrorism IS current news. There are some, like Sen. Patty Murray from Washington, who seem to believe we should look for the good in Osama Bin Laden. That we shouldn't overlook the money he has raised to educate, clothe and feed the poor in his region. Well, accepting at face value that he has done these things, Patty Murray's words have the same meaning as those who might have said of Hitler's Germany, "well at least the trains run on time!"
Of course we need to be careful about painting with the broad brush that says all Muslims are terrorists. ; We know ;this is false. But we need to be very suspicious of those who sympathize with and raise money for those who would kill innocent people in the name of Islam or any other belief system.
Pat Robertson's warnings about what Islam teaches and what Muslims believe have merit. Don't let the fact that you don't like Pat Robertson or what he stands for cloud the issue.

2.8% INCREASE IN JAN 1 WATCHTOWER
by jimbob inperhaps this information has already been posted, so if it has i apologize.
but according to the jan 1st watchtower which was given to me, there was a 2.8% increase in publishers in the world over last year, with over 1.2 billion hours spent in service...(like those numbers aren't inflated.... when i looked back at the 92 watchtower, the number of partakers was only 8850...a mere 90 people more.
so in the span of an entire decade...only 90 people have died?????

Joel:
I have to agree with you. Some of the things I hear from my dub relatives about the activities of other dubs would have shocked me 20 years ago. Not that I'm uspset with their insincereity or wanting to lead a double life. Anything that contributes to the trivialization of the WTS suits me fine.

What will the WT become? (Sort of a Survey)
by Marcos ini have been out for a long time.
to give you an idea of how long, the concept of not offering subscriptions anymore is news to me!.
as they continue consolidating and down-sizing, what affect do you all think this will have on individual witnesses and on their organization as a whole?

When you think about how many JW's in the late 60's and early70's sold their homes and businesses and moved to serve where the "need was great", in preparation for 1975, then you begin to grasp just how gullible and obedient to the borg these people are. Of course in 1976 the Great and Powerful Oz told them they had run ahead of Jehovah's faithful and discreet slave. They were told that there was no such pronouncement about 1975.

You may scoff at the notion of mass suicides, and I'm not saying I see ANY evidence that the WTS would promote the idea. But you must remember that nothing, and I repeat NOTHING is too absurd to be foisted upon the rank and file members of the organization. Sure, their view of suicide today is against it, but with a little "new light" tweaking of some vague scripture, they could pull it off. The scripture wouldn't even have to have anything to do with suicide. They could take the account of Abraham being asked to sacrifice his son and twist it to mean that obedience to God through his faithful and discreet slave must be complete obedience. I could see many miserable JW's being willing to take the gas pipe for the borg.
Also, remember that this is the same organization that has convinced many parents that they should withhold blood transfusions and allow their children to die, than to risk offending jobergod.

I would stop posting here if Simon sold this website to the WTS for several million pounds. Can you imagine the absolute horror of having this site run by the FDS?

Another quick poll:
by Monster ingood morning everyone.
not trying to force any of you to tell your ages, but how many of you were around durning the 1975 scandle?
did you believe the world would really end?

Did I believe the world would end in 1975? Yes, I was a true believer.
What did I give up waiting for the Big A? Short term, I didn't bone the hot looking worldly neice of the Witness man I worked for, and she wanted me to. Long term: I pioneered then went to Bethel and not to college. Finally after many years I did go to college and finished my bachelors degree at the age of 39 and my graduate degree at the age of 43. I also married the wrong woman the first time in the belief that I should only "marry in the Lord".
What were opposing families like towards me? I think they just shook their heads wondering why I was wasting my youth on such bullshit.
Did you hide food thinking you would need it later? NO
What happened wih my life after the big A didn't happen? At first I bought into the WTS explanation that some of us were running ahead of the FDS with our 1975 beliefs. Finally, I realized in 1984, after reading Ray Franz C of C, that it was all a big pile of bat dung and I had been misled. I married a non-JW, have 3 fine teenaged kids (well, in most respects) and life goes on.
