Nicky Gumbel explains: "It's all friendship-based. There's no knocking on doors - it's friends bringing friends."
Quote from the alpha web-page, seems to me that they are after ex-jw's on the rebound.

Alpha Meetings! What are they? Who are they?
by freeborg ini was wondering if any one has ever been involved or are involved in a group known as alpha.
they provide a 15 meeting course on their beliefs.
these groups and others like them have made me wonder if we all agree that wts is corrupt and harmfull what makes another group with strong beliefs and convictions right, are we not falling into the same trap as when we were witnesses if we get involved in any of the hundreds of sects, cults, denominations that are out there.. http://alphacourse.org/about/whatis.htm

I totally agree logical, It just shows to me anyway that all religion is a scam and done for financial reward.

VERY interesting (April 1, 2002 WT, p.19)
by stevieb1 inthis statement is prety interesting.
it's taken from the very latest watchtower article (april 1, 2002) the final sentence of paragraph 14 reads:.
"if jehovah's organization knowingly endorsed false teachings, advice to read the bible would never be given to jehovah's witnesses and those to whom they preach.".

Crikey, how can one sentance have so many hidden meanings. Yet again double meanings from the WTS.

Would This Be Assault?
by expatbrit inok, let's construct a hypothetical situation.. this year i will not be attending the memorial.
up till now, the elders have left me alone, but not attending the memorial may well trigger a reaction.
one saturday afternoon the door bell goes.

Will you go to the memorial
by freeborg ini have never missed a memorial in 20 years of being a jw, but this year will be the first one i miss because i refuse to set foot in any kingdom hall.
i was wondering how many that post here will attend the memorial and if so why?.
do you feel pressured into going by family or friends?.

rf,
Your comments hit home with me, the longer you dwell over these things the harder it will be to ever pull completely away. The problem is when family are so indoctrinated and still practising witnesses it will always be there to remind you, the longer they continue to ignore you the longer it hurts. I don’t see anyway of forgetting the past and carrying on life with out a thought of the WTS, that’s the way they want it and we all have to accept we are still slaves to the WTS in mind. The way to counter it is in forums such as these and talking to other xjw's. It is a big change in all of our lives when we stop being JW's I wish I could put it out of my mind but I cant, so writing comments and talking about it will help the pain that has been caused by the WTS.
