May I borrow some of it for my own letter?
Hell, borrow it all! Most of it was borrowed by myself from "Releasing the Bonds". I like the enthusiasm for this idea... let's do it, board! Surely we can put a dent in this beast.
... i've written a letter to a local paper.
i hope it will be printed.
it says nothing about jws, but it should get the light bulbs to go off in their heads.

to show you how dumb and shallow my congregation is a one of our "deeper" sisters claimed in field services that "jehovah answers all my prayers...like last week i wanted a new skirt and shoes for field service but only had $20 dollars....and would you believe i found them!!!
now i for one though well, why didn't you pray or the oil pipe in the mexican gulf to dry up...or food for the poor in haiti.
other pioneers tell of vegetables falling off trucks just when they had nothing for dinner???
Well, shit, 007, that is a damn good deal. I believe her.
someone asked a question recently about how the gb acquires new light.
i cannot recall the title of the thread but did find this information in my file that a fellow poster put up a while back:.
just for reference, this is from the jan 1st 2007 watchtower - "the first resurrection now under way ?".
I think the Governing Body meets at their secret Bethel board room, closes the door, and hold hands seance-style trying to channel Johannes Greber's spirit for advice:

You know, as I wrote this letter, I felt kind of like I did when I used to write talks: "Hmm, what should I put in the conclusion to motivate my audience?" Weird how the JW experience crops up even when you're doing something anti-JW.
with bizarre names like pac-man, asteroids, space invaders, battlezone and donkey kong, video games have landed themselves not only in amusement arcades but also in corner drugstores, supermarkets, gas stations, fast-food parlors and nearly everywhere else that people congregate.
their beeps and booms and colorful lights have captured the fancy and imagination of a new generation of players to the point of obsession.. other than the obvious appeal to teenagers and its commercial success, the proliferation of arcade video games has triggered reactions ranging from strong parental protests to outright government bans.
in the philippines, president marcos officially banned the games and gave owners two weeks to destroy them.
And a solicitor. Let's not forget that LOL.
my favorite character is sawyer.
such a smartass.
my favorite episode was when hurley won the lottery.. .
bttt because (sniff) the show is ending soon. God what a great series!

I've always associated Pac-Man with homosexuality, drugs, and prostitution. Why do people think I'm crazy for saying that?

Good point, Scott... and I'm glad to see you taking the initiative to send this along yourself in your own area. Honestly, if we all did this, think of the potential!
the social networking media technologies like facebook, will over the years, continue to present insurmountable challenges to the growith, stability and eventual demise of the watchtower as an organisation.
realizing this inevitabilty, its therefore easy to predict that over the coming years, more and more talk about the perceived 'threat' of internet will be part of standard talks in kingdom halls, assemblies and convections.. what do you think about that?
.
All I know is that the internet has made it so much easier to find out the truth about "The Truth".
Yes, sites like Facebook make it so easy to associate with former JWs- and prove that they are doing quite well without the Watchtower.
Think about what was available to a JW 20 years ago compared to now. Back then a JW with questions stood alone. Now we have boards like this one that are veritable communities confirming that we all had the same doubts.
Books like "Crisis of Conscience" were hard to come by back then. Now you can easily buy them online. And newer additions like "Combatting Mind Control", "I'm Perfect, You're Doomed", and "Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk" are going to make the next generation of young JWs savvy indeed.
Hell, there are even movies about the subject like "Worlds Apart".
Be very afraid, WT. You are losing control by the hour.
We're everywhere!
