Very true. Which suggests their faith and unity is really very artificial. I know mine was when I was in. And I was a pioneer and a ministerial servant and I did study and pray and read the Bible and go to meetings like I was told to do.

An Organization Made of Glass?
by metatron intake a look at most religions: if you change a doctrine here or there, it usually makes little difference.. you can be a catholic and take birth control.
you can believe in evolution and still be active in most.
protestant churches.. but what about the "truth"?

It's such double-speak bullsh!t! If it is a conscience matter why spend a whole article trying to guilt people into not doing it? Why not just have balls and say we forbid you to go. At least that would be more honest.

A coup against the Watchtower?
by Dead Man Joaquin ini believe that if enough "anointed" get fed up with the hypocrisy of the leadership, a coup may be likely if not inevitable.. .
what i've been wondering is: how would such a scenario play out in real life?
i'm sure we can agree that all the organizational power ultimately rests in the hands of the eleven little men in brooklyn known collectively as the governing body.

Watchtower Custom Prints Bibles for Babylon (1992)
by cabasilas ini started a thread on this many years ago but did not have the documentation ready.
i recently unearthed the documentation and have put it into a pdf.. back about 15 years ago my best friend worked for a christian book store.
he used to order foreign bibles for the store and one evening i was thumbing through a thai bible on the shelf and was dumbstruck.

Is The Watchtower Society Too Controlling of Jehovah's Witnesses?
by IsaacJS2 ini'm back, finally...more or less.
my computer died like 5 weeks ago and i'm still having problems even after rebuilding it twice.
if you've stopped in to check out my web site (www.atheistgeeknews.com) and noticed it was dead, it's because i haven't been able to get online much.

Excellent article. I like how you left it up to the reader to decide, instead of being dogmatic.

My avatar shows how insane I felt while I was still in. And how pissed off I feel when I think about all the energy I wasted while I was still in.

How Honest Are You Really???
by minimus inhere's the scenario: you buy an item and it's on sale for 10% off the original price.
a new cashier charges you, instead of 10% off, 10 cents!
this happened to a woman who bought a leather coat among other things and when she reviewed her slip she knew absolutely that the new cashier messed up.

If we're talking about a couple bucks discount I wouldn't say anything. If it's a substancial amount then I would speak up and let them know about the error. Final answer.

I would have kept my mouth shut and walked away. What's the saying innocent as a dove, sly as a serpent?
