so instead i listened to that every uplifting ac/dc, metalica, scorpions (still favorites of mine).. the society did release the "kingdom melodies" on tape though and everyone bought the complete set.....did anyone here ever really enjoy that music?

I finally got my Crisis of Conscience book

what a cool book, i'll have a lot of things to read during the next week.

When I first noticed differences between the N.W.T. and other bibles, I also read many books including the Crises. It was very sad to see things in print that I had actually known but never quite admitted to myself. It is very enlightening.
Another good book is "Questions for Jehovahs Witnesses Who love the truth". By Joan Cetnar. She has compiled many watchtower articles which in my opinion, prove the society to be false. Its very exposing, clear and easy to understand.

just was wondering if any comments are available on this?.........

made me mad.

Gheeesh, I feel like I just read a watchtower.
It sure has the J.W. spin on it.
This writer must work in the W.T.S publishing department.
Seriously,
I do think most J.W.s are good people.
They are slightly abused and made fun of in this society.
I believe that witnesses are even more manipulated and emotionally abused by their own organizaton though.

Will the WBTS order JW's to Kill??

by Anne Marie in

dear post reader,.

about nine months ago, while surfing through different jw web sites, i came across a reference to an e-mail that was sent to the poster.. the e-mail basically said that with the way that things are going with the society, i.e., so many " waking up", and not being so easy to mislead and control., that there very likely will be a "big" announcement regarding the order to kill the "apostates" and the "wicked people".. the source said that it would go something like this:.

there would be talks, and some wordings in the magazines, alluding to an upcoming announcement.

Arent J.W.s already killing themselves and their children by refusing blood transfusions.
I know my family and I know how indoctrinated they are. If their instructions were worded in a way that lead them to believe they were directly from Jehovah God, I believe that at least half of them would either commit murder or kill themselves if they couldnt go through with it. I am very serious.
My family eats, breathes and sleeps the W.T.S. It is their entire existance. I would be very afraid for my life if I found out the W.T.S. was going in this direction.
Come to think of it, I am quite nervous as we speak.

New Meeting attendance policy??

by noidea in

jw
friends

i couldn't believe it when my daughter came home from a weekend at her cousins.

she had gone to the meeting with them on sunday and had been approached by an elder (an uncle by marriage)..he was of course joking when he said this....he had the nerve to tell her that because i was not attending the meetings (haven't been for 7 months) that they were going to have to come to my home with a shotgun and make me go.

i have heard of shotgun weddings before not shotgun meeting attendance.

Solace

That is my worst nightmare.
The thought of my J.W. family taking my kids and starting up their brainwashing tactics has always been a fear of mine.
My daughter has come home from a visit with them talking about how all churches are pagan etc.
So annoying!!
I am so glad they live too far to visit often.
