Good feedback ... perhaps we have stumbled upon the real "root of all evil" when it comes to the anger we see later in life from ex-JWs ...

Did you know JW's who worked in SALES?
by BonaFide inthe brothers and sisters that i knew that worked in sales did great in the congregation.
their presentations, their talks, their knowledge of all the publications, they were really on top of things.
those that worked in other fields sometimes really struggled at placing literature and in getting studies.. one brother in my hall used to have special sessions with those that wanted to improve their presentation.

Being a JW is about the same as the "Amway" multi-level marketing without the L.O.C.
Sell your friends and family on the concept and it matters little how good the product is!
The rank in ADA Michigan benefit from the folks working the public for Amway while those in New York are supported by Witness sales men and women in the field ... about the same to me.

Tell the ''Governing Body'' one thing that you've always wanted them to know!
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe only reason you have total control over all of your members is your false ''faithful and discreet slave'' scripture.
this scripture was applied only for your benefit.
without this scripture your whole religion would fall..

If you are actually our slave why are we not checking to see what WE want?
John 13:16 "A slave is not greater than his master ..."

Has the "Faithful and Discreet Slave" correctly foretold anything?
by donny inone of the issues that really helped me open my eyes to the fallacy of the claims of the "faithful and discreet slave" class is that they have not been right on anything they said would happen in the future.
every instance of "new light" is simply a hindsight adjustment and their attempt to allign the beliefs with what actually is happening or already occurred.
when you examine all of their dates, and what was supposed to happen on them, as well as the generation of 1914 and the date of the sealing of the annointed, etc, etc, can you think of anything the f&ds has accurately foretold by means of "jehovahs" spirit.. don.

The Organization has used Matthew 24:45 as basis for identifying the "Faithful and Discreet slave." What seems to be overlooked is that the verse begins with: "Who really is ..." It is a QUESTION not a designation. It remains for each individual to determine the true identity!

To oompa, from the corner I'm in:
First, I speak for myself. I am here in search of truth ... truth supported by evidence rather than opinion. Likely, I am angry at myself for allowing both freeness of speech as well as choice to be stifled for decades. I am probably a very lonely person in search of some form of attachment. In this shell exists a very good person who has lost all self-esteem.
While there may be many reasons for others visiting this site, I do percieve a permanent disorder that comes and goes like malaria presenting itself with various expressions. Curiosity wou not manefest itself for years ... therefore long-term visitors may have another agenda. Perhaps many of us are actually looking for closure and emotional restoration.
Justice? Not likely ... humanity typically issues organized religion carte blance and only prosecutes individuals.

Accidental Instantaneous Sex
by rebel8 inthe litter-ature over the years has teachings that imply jehovah's special people are all on the verge of having unplanned sex on a moment's notice, with anyone, at any time.. you must have a chaperone if you are to be alone with someone of the opposite sex, even briefly.. this applies to people of any ages.
you could be a 99-year-old raisin whose flagpole hasn't risen since rutherford was living in beth sarim, but you still shouldn't be alone with a pimply 16-year-old shy obese virgin who still plays with barbie dolls.
she's a seductress!

Remember one of the first commands in Genisis: "Be fruitful and become many." And what do you suppose Adam was thinking about when he cried out "bone of my bones"? It's natural ,dude! Of course, we can't forget that most of the Bethelites aren't getting much (at least from the opposite sex) and are probably jealous.
