That the dinousaurs are "happily" walking on the surface of Venus. This was an actual quote taken from one volume of the "studies in scriputures". Also on the front cover of every volume was the egyptian sun god RA. Were LSD, and magic mushrooms legal back then? All aboard the mushrooooom train, your conductor today is Chuckie T Russell.

What are the most "embarrassing" moments/events for the Watchtower ???
by run dont walk in.
boy, this thread could go on forever ........ i just found out recently, about the pyramid theory by russell and the building rutherford had built for abraham's return ..... i never remember my family talking about these while we were growing up/going to meetings.. i guess the society tries to hide the embarrassment as much as posssible.. so what would call some of the most embarrassing moments by the watchtower (1879-2003), i am hoping to copy alot of comments and pass them on to my jw family.
and hopefully other posters (lurkers) could find the info useful as well.. oh and please, if you can give more details on the two above i mentioned please do ........

For those of you raise in the "truth" a Question
by obiwan ini myself was raised in the "truth" til i was df'd at the age of 21. i have often wondered that if i were allowed to grow up just as every other child did in the u.s. would i have been interested in looking at the organization and taking interest?
do any of you think and wonder the same thing?

My moment of truth came when I was driving my car out in service one day past a jewish synagogue. I saw these small hasidic jewish kids, with the top hats on and long spiralled side burns. It was amazing how time stood still as I watched these kids, and it was at that moment I said to myself, wow!! those poor kids have their lives completely mapped out for them from such a young age, they have absolutely no choice in how they will worship God. Then it hit me! Neither did I. It was at that point I decided to do a totally unprejiduced search into my own upbringing. Didnt take long for me to see how badly I was deceived being brought up in the cult they call Jehovahs witnesses.

to get the ball rolling is this image from the 1986 publication, true peace and security: how can you find it?.

When I was a kid I distinctly remember one of my parents giving me a good old fashioned bed time story from that paradise lost book. Yes those pictures of little girls being swallowed up along with their dolls into the earth, with lightning and tornados all around was just what an eight year old needed to send him into a nice relaxing sleep. What was most notable about all of these pictures posted was the amount of times the UN building in Newyork was shown being obliterated.Seeing that the Watchtower was a member in good standing for a decade, this was actually a self fullfilling prophecy, and the ONLY prophecy that they may get right in their less than stellar track records of predictions.

Who here is shunned by family?
by Brummie inremember the watchtower that asked "are jws a cult?
" and then listed things that cleared it of the accusations of being such?
cant remember the date.. anyway one of the things it said was that "cults" usually have a lot of ex members testifying against it and the damage it has caused to their family lives.

I received my first official shunner last night, and Im wearing it as a badge of honour. I sent my letter removing myself from the toilet other wise known as the watchtower a few weeks back, and it looks as though they must have read my name off already. I say this as last night my brother walked passed me with his four year old boy, and shielded him from me like I was Jeffery Dalmer, and almost dislocated his neck turning the other way. I chuckled quietly to myself, and went on with my day. Yup, if she walks like a cult, and quacks like a cult, it is a cult.

Hello, I dont respond to most posts like this, but I just had to chime in here. I feel horrible for you, I know what you are feeling right now. Just try and use this pain you are feeling for your benefit. Jesus said that you will know his disciples by the love that they have among themselves. Was it Christ like love that was shown to you??????? Only you know. Act accordingly. Geddy.

If You Weren't A Witness, What Would You Be Today?
by minimus inmany of us are or were witnesses because we were born into the religion.
others became witnesses because they really thought it was the truth.
so many wish that they never had a jehovah's witness come to their door or their parents' door.

40 Years of Mental Terrorism
by Dogpatch inpassing this on.... mental terrorism.
i am writing about a danger which is very real.
there are people, who may be grieving, who may be suffering from depression, who feel an emptiness, who feel a spiritual longing, who want hope in a world that seems hopeless, and others who are very vulnerable to this danger.
