When I was researching to quit, I was first looking for factual items only. I was blown away by the tax returns of the WBTS. The UN letter is also good. This is hard evidence. Let us know how things turn out.

Encountered Witnesses today at Dunkin Donuts, need some advice please
by NotaNess ini am behind in composing my "counter-witness" pamphlets that i have been wanting to design, but i've been compiling info still.
problem is that days like today, when i talked to witnesses in a plaza, i did not have anything to give but my words.
funny, i gave my business card to them(they were spanish), and told them to have someone call on me, so i can do a study with them.

Apparently No Christ-like Spirit at FTC Convention
by snowbird inmy 18-year old daughter came home after her first day at the convention in a foul mood.. she kept griping about this and that until i thought i was going to have to pimp slap the little heifer.
i guess all the talk about the internet and inactive ones had really gotten to her.. on a side note, my co-worker asked why it is called follow the christ.
she wanted to know how many christs are there.

Has being a Witness made it hard for you to love Jesus?
by jwfacts inwhenever i hear the word jehovah i still feel warm and fuzzy.
he was the god that i spent hours talking to in prayer, petitioning, thanking, pleading with.
he was my father, the creator, the one who we would worship for eternity.. jesus on the other hand i never spoke or prayed to.

Actually, I've gone in the reverse direction. I appreciate and feel more of a connection to him. It's probably due to my early background in the Baptist Church. But I can't get all warm and fuzzy about Jesus like other people can. That's probably the Borg's influence. But I won't use the name Jehovah anymore, just God. During my last few years as a dub, it started bothering me like I was talking about someone else, not God.

Thanks Rat and BFD! I understand that Rat wants to keep a low profile, can't blame him if the stakes are high.
This hoopla sounds like something my Mom lives for. She falls for it every time. Maybe they've revived some
oldnew threats about how you have to trust the Bible, the NWT Bible that is. For now, it sounds like the same old, same old with a lot of hype. -

When we first started I was 10. We were a family of four. Our bible study conductors were a young pioneer couple with no children. (Who thought up that match?). Anyway, the husband got me in trouble with my father by "counseling me" during our family study, that I was doodling on my Watchtowers and I should be paying attention and commenting. Man did I get spanked and screamed at after those two left. So from that day on, I got watched and poked during the Watchtower by my father until I answered. My father was a scary guy, so I did what I was told.

there have been alot little things i've picked up on that leads me to believe my wife is really struggling with the concept of remaining a witness.
i provide gentle coaxing here and there.
