Circumcision is an abhorrent mutilation that serves no useful purpose at all. What on earth possessed you to do this to your baby?

Sam Herd looks like James Earl Jones.
Gerrit Losch looks like a Mafia boss with a strange wink going on.
Geof Jackson looks nutty as a fruitcake, like something from 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'.
Guy Pierce looks like a comedian, with a face like Walter Mathau.
Barr and Jaracz just look senile. In fact, Jaracz looks more senile than the ancient Barr. Porridge must be good for you.
Stephen Lett looks very corporate.
David Splane looks very straight and square, in a sinister way, like an SS officer.
Tony Morris looks like a fat cat but has a nice smile.

The schedule forgets to warn that no independent study materials, especially of the original languages, should be used besides those published by or authorised by the Watchtower Slavciety.

"Widen out" - Who did, and got burned??
by hamsterbait indo you remember the counsel to "widen out" in our association with the witlesses?.
how many of you found yourself trying to make friends with people who were just not your kind?.
spending evenings bored, or worse.

The only ones I saw widening out in my former congregations were those plain single sisters left on the shelf getting fatter and fatter as they quickly approached middle age and those dull, bored married couples where they decided not to have children until the new system, also getting fatter. LOL

Not even say a "greeting" to them...
by integ inthe new co in the area referenced the above quote from the bible during one of his talks recently.
his point was that we need to get out in the ministry and not take a bunch of breaks in service and stuff.
he said that jesus told his followers that when he sent them out.

But why did Jesus tell his disciples not to embrace anyone in a greeting? Were they to be cold, even rude? Not at all! The Greek word a·spa´zo·mai, meaning to embrace in a greeting, may mean more than a polite "hello" or "good-day." It may also include the customary kisses, embraces, and long conversation that would ensue when two acquaintances met. One commentator observes: "Salutations among the Orientals did not consist, as among us, of a slight bow, or extension of the hand, but was performed by many embraces, and inclinations, and even prostrations of the body on the ground. All this required much time." (Compare 2 Kings 4:29.) Jesus thus helped his followers to avoid unnecessary, though customary, distractions.
Thank you for this quote Blondie. I believe this same Greek word 'aspazomai' is the one used in 3 John where the apostle says to not even say a greeting to them (antichrists). So it is only this type of very warm, friendly, lengthy greeting that is meant here, not a basic and polite simple salutation. Yet the Watchtower Society twists this to say that disfellowshipped persons should be totally shunned, yes, treated coldly and rudely, which ironically this WT article notes the early disciples would never do!
The correct scriptural position is JW's are free to say a simple 'hello, how are you?' to disfellowshipped persons, yet they may choose not to engage in lengthy, warm, social interactions with them. Disfellowshipped people should be treated with the same courtesy and politeness as any JW would treat any 'worldly' person, and especially since Christians are meant to show more love to everyone of all sorts, even their enemies.

Prove the Truth to yourself.
by integ ina sister from my "congregation" has a bible study, and this study had compiled a boatload of questions about russell, the wt history, and incongruencies etc.
and the sister told her that she refuses to answer the questions and that they are apostate teachings.
she told the study that "it isn't up to me to prove the truth to you, you need to prove the truth to yourself".. as another poster put up the topic of "doesn't it blow your mind?

It shows how utterly brainwashed that sister is and actually afraid of going away and researching it herself out of a morbid fear of actually finding something WRONG taught by the precious and perfect FDS (read GB)

Exactly integ. In fact, I am quite certain that the Greek work used in 3 John for 'greeting' confirms your point.

Saving Jw's......
by AK - Jeff ini was running a scenario in my head that might work in some cases to help a jw or jw family to leave the organization.
it is pretty elaborate, and you might have to tell a white lie or two to make it work.. you formulate a letter similar to this:.
dear pastor blake [i would use this to throw them off, by them assuming that i have misunderstood the structure of the faith].
