Can the jw organization be reformed?
by wannaexit ini know that this has been discussed in the past but i wanted to get some fresh opinions.
there are many out there that recognize the "rot" that is in watchtower but still feel that there is a "wholesome" side to it and are trying to bring about change or reform from within.. in 2002 when the rose colored glasses came off for me and i truly started to understand ttatt, i still felt that there was some redemable aspects of the organization.. i felt that russell had some doctrinal things right.
i don't feel like that anymore.

The reason behind why the ex-JW community can never match Jehovah's Witnesses' success.
by Stand for Pure Worship inan average of five kingdom halls being constructed daily, almost 8 million brothers and sisters, dissemination of bible literature in 595 languages, 111,795 congregations worldwide, distribution of 179 million bibles available in 116 languages, 239 countries where jehovah's witnesses have a presence, etc.. need i go on?.
on the other hand........... crisis of conscience, freeminds, the awaa, jw.net, ummmmmm........hmmm........idk six screens or something?
not exactly working out for you guys.

Emeth, how many hours does it take for a R&F JW publisher to bring a cold call to baptism? isnt it a 1000 odd hours? as Bugbear says time will probably destroy them, is growth in tin pot 4th World skint African countries any great progress?

they may have reformed their coperate structure to a very modern style but that makes very little difference to the destructive doctrine and policies in regards to their dreadful child abuse policies, unbeleivable hypocrasy and double standards in regards the constant condemnation of the so called "churches of christendom" in which they unknowingly are a paid up member of. All the while they have this egotisticle, arrogant, power hungry Papal like adusive rule from their despicable Governing Body I see no reforming, if anything I see a tightening up of their destructive policies.

Should I go to the special assembly day tomorrow?
by Mellow inso i haven't been to a meeting for about two months now, but the program for tomorrow's special assembly day here in the uk looks like it could be a good opportunity for me to gather some info.
take a recording device and get some much needed ammunition to use to try and get my parents to stop going.. it looks like the program is going to be very "you need to trust the organisation" based.
i don't want to go, but like i said it could be a good opportunity.

How I recently handled JWs at my door
by Christian guy inthe jws stopped by my house a couple weeks ago on a saturday morning.
i knew that with others most likely waiting for them out in the car they probably did not then have much time to engage in any serious conversation.
so i let them talk while i feigned interest in what they had to say.

excellent anti witness CG, I'm not a christian but you made their presentation fall flat on its feet, typical JW's they bare face lie one minute and deny it the next, great point about them being false teachers also.

Jehovah only uses honest mean in directing his flock... except that one guy
by confusedandalone inyesterday in yet another attempt to get me back to jehovah's organization of faithful men, we began to argue.
when i asked her how she could possibly trust the men leading this organization who have lied over and over again about everything we believe.
she literally scream ed at me and said, "the men jehvoah uses in this organization to take the lead are standup men who always have the best intentions for the flock.".
