JWdaugher, my reading the bible got me out when i saw how different things were. i even read different translations. most translations of john 1:1 say jesus is god! the experts agree! jesus IS god, if there even IS a god, that is. ehe.

In memory of Charles Taze Russell who died 92 years ago.
by AndersonsInfo inpastor charles taze russells wife, maria, divorced him in 1906. the writings of maria russell e-document contains an eleven-page enlightening introduction that outlines her fall from her husbands affection because he said she was endeavoring to take over the editorship of his religious journal, zions watch tower.
is that true?
also discussed is the question of mrs. russells acumen as a writer which her husband and followers called into question.

Did Your District Conventions Have A Meat Market?
by Jeremy C ini was recently thinking back upon some of my unusual memories of being in the organization.
one of them was of the dodger stadium "meat market".. we used to attend our district conventions at dodger stadium in los angeles.
for those of you who arent familiar with the stadium, dodger stadium has a very large level with blue seats - which is the largest level within the stadium.

Your kids are doomed.
by sammielee24 ini listened in to the conf call tonight.
one thing that i got from it was that apparently (and the wording might be a little wrong) is that elders or ms will be removed if they are going to college or university.
a person encouraging another to go to college will be removed as well.

My dad just came out... as one of the annointed
by Pwned ini know i don't post here that often but this just kind of blew me away.
my dad just "came out" recently as annointed and i find it so weird.
he's always been pretty level headed and he's been in for over 30 years.

Jesus tells kiddies not to play wih penis' or vulvas?
by lovelylil inon the thread about the pdf for the 2003 listening to the great teacher book, i posted about the arguement my hubby and i had over this book when it first came out.
i threw out the 2 copies my kids had and then regretted it because i think this book is very telling about the wt organization and the issue of pedophiles and child molestation.
i wanted to address what happened here too for discussion.. i am not good at copying over texts so perhaps someone else can post here pages 59-60 in this book where sexual content is explained in vivid detail using the terms penis and vulva.

"For example, the demons like it when a boy and a girl play with each other’s penis or vulva. We don’t want to make the demons happy, do we?— --wow, that is creepy beyond words."-- UGH! imagine an old elder saying that. they're PERVERTS!!

Why Do JWs Believe They Have The "Truth" When Their View Keeps Changing?
by minimus ini don't get it.. can anyone explain it to me?.

if i'm wrong on thi please help me, but i think it's based on how science works n that. the FACTS (truth) never changes, only how it's interpeted. the so-called 'noo lite' is not a truth, just their interpretation. but the flip-flops aren't how SCIENCE works. never go back to a failed idea on somethig. i'm NOT defending the dubs. just clarifying. on a similar note, the dube believe the would leaders ae the 'highter powers' ut from the scripture and applying it tothe dubs, seems go is the REAL higher power and the elder n gb ae the 'other powers'or to the rcc, the pope and priests are the 'other powers' or maybe the pop is the 'higherpower' sorry for digressing a bit. basically, their idea might be sound, but reusing 'old lite' is wrong. they need REAL interpretation and just hone it occasionally. btw, the bible neer mentions 'god's org' wonder what proof scriptures the gb uses?
