For some reason I think of "Dude Looks Like a Lady" in reading this thread. Just random I guess, but hey there may be some value in making the post.

who should be held acountable? footsoldiers or leaders ?
by The Dragon inwould our leadership be of better quality if they knew they would be held accountable for their decisions, orders and examples they set to their subordinates?
or are they confident/cocky they will never have to answer for their mistakes and do things the way they want to do them as a result of this perhaps shortsighted view on things?.
i mean who is going to police the police so to speak?.

It seems the people need to get smart, eh? Too many sheep, and not in any good or righteous way, either.

Remember congregation summer picnics? (and other ramblings)
by WingCommander ina thread on the last page made me remember something from my early childhood.
remember congregation picnics and other outings?
i remember when i was little, probably only 4 - 5 years old; there was a huge congregation picnic at a park with food, games, etc.

In thinking back to those gatherings, the one impression I have now is: People are friggin idiots. Not everyone of course, but the typical JW gathering just epitomizes how utterly .. I am not even sure of the word, but how boring and pathetic human beings can be, socially and otherwise. I don't blame the individuals of course, they are brainwashed and all that. But that essentially reflects my view of the mass population at large now - it's largely a waste of time. With JWs it's understandable that you would want to cling to that in some way since you are socially deprived, but recently I've just come to the realization I don't need any of that. If it was people with some degree of life going on, sure I'm all open given the situation and individual, but it is quite sad to be addicted to socialization when most of it amounts to a gigantic goose egg.

At This Point, Would You Care If You Are or Were Disfellowshipped???
by minimus inat this stage of "coming out" of the "truth", would it faze you if you were disfellowshipped?

What stage is that? Since I've been out for years and don't care in general, no I would not care if I was DF'd. Hell, I don't care about what people in general think of me, the opinion of JWs less so in some cases.

Apostates do you still read Watchtower literature? And if so Why do you?
by booker-t ini was just wondering how many ex-jws still read wt literature and if so why.
i have noticed alot of posters here know what the lastest wt or awake magazines are talking about and i was just wondering why do you bother to read that stuff since you left the wt?

If I'm out of toilet paper and in a bind I might get a flash of the cover before I put it to good use.
Dude, be careful the ink might rub off and you end up with a Watchtower logo on your butt.

Raymond Franz is back in WTS ?
by Ancientofdays ina friend of mine (still an active jw) is quite sure that r.franz is back into wts.
from his point of view, an evidence is that he never published the 2nd part of isocf, even if it was announced in the first isocf.
i'm quite sure this is a nonsense , but you may help me with some information.

It would be kind of funny to have a video of Michael being out in service though, breaking out in a little dance as he's walking down the street with his bookbag..

If it really is the end, WHERE ARE THEY?
by Do Not Call inif it's true that the end is so close (matt.
24 fulfilled etc.
), then why aren't elders, jw family members and friends .

Of course, the belief system OVERRIDES any natural love and concern, didn't you know? The way you are talking about it would assume it is a natural concern and a given if they really believed it's the end, but for the purpose of mind control it only has to be strong enough to keep people dumbed down or just confused, relatively few are the zealous, gung-ho type.

My take on what could transpire
by Junction-Guy inok so the wt society is a very wealthy organization, with billions of assets.
for the last few years there seems to be an indication of downsizing in the printing operations, and the publications are becoming more cheaply made, it is apparent they are losing money on the publications.
they can no longer charge for them in the usa and other countries, but only on a donation basis.

Well, as much as I'd get a kick out of seeing a WT infomercial around the time when the Ronco rotisserie comes on the air, my guess is they won't abandon the door-to-door work anytime soon since there is an active element in there. Even if it is making one return visit every 5 hours it gives people something to do. The thing is if you consider how shut down the average JW is, given there is already this big fear of man and they don't really want to engage in any real dialogue, a lot of apostate info is automatically blocked out. It isn't just a matter of social shunning, they are well trained to be closed minded in the first place.
