"Laughter trumps fear every time" - another method to chip away at WT's authority?

saw this article on slate.. it got me thinking - the wts are certainly providing lots of ammunition for spoofing.

talks about tight pants, singing trolleys, rubber faced buffoonery from lett...... what if we start encouraging jws to laugh at their leadership, instead of kowtowing in reverential awe?.

from the article:.

I totally agree. Far more effective than getting into a doctrinal argument.

Please vaccinate your children

by Viviane in

and remember your boosters as adults!.

currently there is a measles outbreak in the u.s. the outbreak is clustered into communities where parents choose not to get their children vaccinated.

vaccination works primarily on herd immunity.

It's a bethel recruitment advertisement. Its target audience is young dubs.

Tips for bringing out the real personality

by Illuminated in

what can we do as non jw members or ex jw's to bring out the natural personality of an indoctrinated jw?.

it's mentioned by cult experts and former jw's to keep things light and stay clear of direct cult info.

it's difficult for me to do this as i generally like to dive into the deeper waters of emotions, thoughts, subjects and connect on that level.

Poster country flags and privacy

by Simon in

the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).

before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.

first, the reason i think it should be shown:.

I can see both sides of this. When I first joined I was paranoid about anyone knowing I was in the UK. Heck I didn't even reveal my gender initially (hence Mickey not Minnie).

NEW LIGHT ALERT! TARGET 2015 END TIMES! EVE WAS CREATED 40 YEARS AFTER ADAM! THE END IS NEAR!

by Trailer Park Pioneer in

this is going around the kingdom halls now, i thought it was a hoax but are not all the end time dates produced by the organization some hoax or con?

the reason why the end did not come in 1975 was the watchtower society had not put eve's creation in their equation.

i was told when we had a "meet and greet" if "we knew the date of eve's creation we would know the year jehovah was going to destroy the earth.. it's been 40 years since 1975, can you believe it's been 40 years since "stay alive till 1975!"?

Yeah I heard this theory a few years back, it was being discussed by bethelites in London.
