How do you get a book published?
by Awakened at Gilead in
1. jw
2. experiences
since leaving jws i have read as many books as i have found written by exjws... i have noticed that some on this board have projects and books that they are working on.... i have an idea for a book that seems to fill a niche in the exjw market... i won't say what it is yet, since i don't want anyone stealing my idea, since it is just hatching... but suffice it to say that i see a need for this book that i would like to write... and i think i could do it... .

i am going to start writing soon, as i have all tehse ideas swimming around in my head... i need to get them onscreen in my computer...any ideas on how to start to get something published?

Will Women Eventually Start Being Used As Servants?
by White Dove in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
as the men in the congregations suffer from burnout and quit helping out as ms and elders, do you think the situation of shrinkage will become so desperate that the wts will be forced to start using women in positions of authority?

they have a huge commodity that they are refusing to use.

that makes no sense at all.

Sex in the new order?
by keyser soze in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
often times, at work, my mind will wander.

just the other day, out of the blue, i began to recall a trip my family took down south, to visit my mom's relatives.

i don't remember what instigated it, but my aunt, my dad, and my oldest brother got into a spirited debate about whether or not people would still have sex in the new order.. my dad, after rather awkwardly pointing out how much he enjoyed sex, said he didn't think it would be done away with completely, at least he hoped not.

Why did Abel offer "fatty pieces" to Yahweh?
by easyreader1970 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
from my understanding--at least from my instruction from the wbts--humans were not permitted to eat meat by yahweh until after the flood.

if that is true, then why would abel offer tasty, delicious "fatty pieces" to yahweh?

how would abel even know how to cut up an animal for food and know which parts were the best for eating?.
