This is from personal experience: I felt that the favored skin color got their prvileges faster in the congregation I was compared to someone that was a black or minority. The elders, surprisingly are white and trusted white brothers more with parts and those that weren't white often were treated badly. By this happening, it raised more doubts about this organization.

Does God REALLY exist? (An Attempt at an Online Bible Study)
by theMartian inwith the global village now teaching evolution as an absolute fact, and the 'creation museum' making a mockery of the bible, any bible study should begin with this question!
however, the biggest hinderence to learning truth is clinging to concepts we've accepted as 'truth' without being willing to take a closer look at other possibilities.. i ask that ridiculers have fun on other postings, so that it might be possible to enjoy comparing what we have learned, how we see things- and also share what we have found to be facts-truth!.
(and i will not "count the time", as promised; that's unimportant to me, anyhow!).

For all the Canadians here, remember the MacLean's cover 'Is God Poison?' a few months back? Here is the article online: http://www.macleans.ca/homepage/magazine/article.jsp?content=20070416_104182_104182

Launch a formal investigation of the GB, freeze their bank accounts and throw them in jail to rot for 200 years. Going to heaven, hell no! They rot in the ground for all the injustice they done to us and those still trapped in the borg. Tell the drones that field service is no longer a priority and that meetings will be reduced to 1 hour each Sunday afternoon. That will not interfere with children's school schedules and adults who work long days on the weekdays.

July KM - warning against active apostates - summary
by dozy inthe question box in july deals with the internet - mainly concerned with children on myspace & similar sites -mentioning that your child could be talking to paedophiles , dfd ones or even "active apostates" .
the main article deals with the - "exciting" and "thrilling" news of the new wt arrangement (maybe some people should get out more).
nothing new in the article , which has as the sole justification the need no longer to explain "theocratic" terms like "pioneer" , but it does seem that the awake will be tailored more to non-christian people.

This shows how scared out of their minds the GB are of us. If they have
the truththen whatever we say wouldn't matter yet they want to control what we say on the internet. The Jan WT 2008 issue will definitely tighten the screws on the average JW's free time, especially on the net. -

GB: Control, control, control. Hypocrites!!! They publish in their literature that everybody has free will and not robots yet the GB wants to control JWs as robots
Internet sites such as this one and others are the bullet aimed squarely at the WTS and eventually kill it. -

I heard of that letter too and personally feel that its a joke. The reasoning behind this is the concession vendors will complain to the facility staff to let them open their stands during the program. Hey, wouldn't that be cool? Standing in line, waiting to get a burger and a cup of beer while some GB stiff such as Morris is talking. Just keep brining in food from outside with the original packaging and the arena will basically kick out the JWs from there next year. Thats what happened in Vancouver a few years back.

How about birthdays?
by molybdenum inhi... i'm a newbie here.
i have been associated with jw's for quite some time however there is one aspect of being a witness that i can't quite come to terms with that is the prohibition on celebrating a person's birthday i have of course read the arguments for this but find them somewhat unconvincing.
is it really the case that everyone follows this direction?

Just look at the picture of the GB, thats a bunch of old men who loves having fun. RIght? Wrong, the only fun they have is screwing with people's lives and their pocketbooks.
Celebrate birthdays, holidays, etc. We do have free will to do things that have no harmful effect on others.

What is the hidden meaning to this?

What's a JW's main motivator?
by PopeOfEruke inwhat's the main motivating force behind the average jw?.
i'd say it's a fear of their own death.
fear of dying.

They also are fed if they aren't doing enough that JW will be bloodguilty and die at Armaggeddon. In MacLean's magazine a few months ago with the title 'God Is Poison', one of the paragraphs call the god of the Old Testament Jehovah as a tyrant. Since the GB reflects this quality, they too are tyrants and will keep pushing this idea to motivate the drones especially those that pioneer. I hate it how the SO would give talks and then keep saying 'Your lives and those that you call on will be at stake'.
