There was an Awake artical about the dangers of watching soaps in the early 90's.
We had a pioneer siter that used to go home after FS to watch them.

Do you remember being warned off about soaps?
by highdose ini mean tv soaps.
i remember for a while they were a sign of a deeply unspirtual person ... all that time that could have been spent door to door instead!.

What percentage of assmbly experiences are total fabrication?
by NoRegrets inwhen i was in 4th grade, i ended up in a situation involving minor school politics.
they had developed a "student council" which did little more than sell pencils at lunch time for fundraisers.
anyway, i was appointed by the teacher and didn't think much of it as an 8-9 year old.

The best one i heard was a married couple who said they sold their house to go pionering.
The truth was they built this flash house becouse all his family had flash houses but could'nt afford the morgage and sold it becouse they had to.
There was a sister in their congro selling appartments off the plans and told them they could sell them when finished at a tidy profit.
Well the whole thing went belly up and they were bankrupted and he had to step down as an Elder.
So the truth was......We sold the house becouse we had to..he never went pionering...we went into a houseing scheme hopeing to make alot of money and last everything.

"Mentally Diseased", Defamation per se, and US Law
by DT inthe watchtower article on "mentally diseased" apostates has caused a lot of commotion and might even be investigated as hate speech in some countries.
the united states has a different political climate and a different approach to balancing individual freedoms against the freedoms of religious organizations.
this makes it unlikely that charges of hate speech would get much traction in the united states, unless things escalate further or result in violence.

As much as it's a good idear the courts don't like getting involved with religious arguments.
The 1st ammendment will negate most of your argument.
The KKK,Westbro church ect have way more wackey idears than the JW's and opperate with the full protection of the 1st ammedment.

Nov.15th WT - WT Society Wants & Needs Elders- Not very High Standards
by flipper inas many of us realize- times are hard for the wt society getting men to " reach out " for an elders or ministerial servants position as young men aged ( 18-35 ) are opting out of doing that due to the pressure they are under from the wt society leaders and just that it takes up too much valuable time where men could be earning a living and helping their own families instead of a thankless magazine printing corporation.
in the article " train others to reach out " in this issue it has lots of strange, controlling, yet perplexing statements which i'm sure will confuse jw men who are considering " reaching out ".
in fact, i think this article will discourage more than encourage them from doing so.. on pg.
