Hi guy.... say I've got a good name for your phony name, how about = unreceptive to brain washing, and your congregation = will never be owned by a cult
That should raise a few eyebrows.....
anyone else have the idea of making a high resolution scan of a lapel card so you can go to the assembly.
my mom got me one, (hehe) and i've scanned it in, now when i go i will have the one my mom gave me in front on my lapel holder on my jacket, with my real name on it so mom doesn't get suspicious.
then behind that one i will have my decoy one, with a fake name and other congregation name on it.

british astronomer sir john hershel.

A well know astronomer recently sited a kingdom hall on the moon, but this has not yet been confirmed
found this interesting talk on e-watchman's site.
it was given by david splane, a gb member.. the talk is really interesting as it gives a more focused look at the troubles the society is facing as it trys to cope with education, peer pressure etc.. .

Sounds very much to me they don't want people to become educated and knowable in fear that you'll receive so much knowledge you might leave them.
The WTS. has always bemoaned higher education and disregarded it's importance to their flock just for the simple reasons that I've stated.
Back in the 70's they stated that collages and universities were places of ungodliness and should be avoided, young people should instead spend more time in flied service.
Isn't it nice though that they care so much about the personal intellectual growth of their members and the useful gain that society can obtain from that endeavor.
Yep.... religious cults are the cats meow aren't they
Were they talking about themselves on this one
If I may offer some advise, the fore front policy from this religion is to own you and control you, in a sense the master does not like his slaves wandering off to serve
other masters, they have goaded you in to their little posy by offering not dieing and living in a paradise, once they put their brand on you, you become one of their possessions.
You should realize that other religious cults gather their followers in a very similar way, with very similar tactics. If they think they have the ordained power to bounce you out I say let them.
Another thing you might mention to them tell them that the kingdom hall didn't have enough exercise equipment so thats why you joined the YMCA.......good luck
ok just got back from the dc in kansas city.
i know there has been a thread on the dc already but i will post "highlights" or lowlights depending on one's opinion, of the dc in kc on this thread.. 1) bethel speakers so far 1 from patterson bethel, 1 from brooklyn bethel and 1 from walkill bethel + governing body speaker anthony morris 111. friday major talk on christ on last talk by morris.
illustarted earthquake in armenia few yaers ago.
Yep sounds like the same old talks on how to bring the Borg more slaves and isn't it hypocritical of them to denounce education since when they ever get ill
they run to the local hospital and give a well educated individual bags of money to heal themselves
what are some of the things that you miss about not being a jw any more ?
for myself i'd have to say it was the close relationships with the people there, some i don't miss at all, but some i really do miss, like the kids that i grew up with .
during my childhood.
Yes I miss my family too or I should say I miss not having a close relationship with my JW brother and sister and my father also
watchtower, feb. 15, 1983, p. 12. .
" john 6:40 watchtower style .
the watchtower; "12/1/1981, p. 27. .
Their just too commercial for one and they don't follow the works and deeds of Christ in a loving and compassionate way, probably the love of power and money screwed them up from the
beginning
what's the main motivating force behind the average jw?.
i'd say it's a fear of their own death.
fear of dying.
Good old fashion fear I think, jws. really think they are on to something that no one else in the world has got, little do they know that have hurt themselves with this intent
and have posted themselves against humanity in supporting such a corrupt organization
