My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

Thanks to all
by Socrateswannabe ini am by nature a reticent soul.
i am perfectly happy to watch from the sidelines as others debate and contest, poke, prod, and cajole one another.
as an observer, i still gain.

socrates, keep in mind to remain active you must promote "true worship" through proselytising and financial suport monitored by your immediate family. that continues this horible religion that violates human rights and even is resposible for the death of many adherants. sorry about spelling etc. posting from phone.

Something about the end of the current system of things they can't pony up to...
by okage in1975 was approaching and for years the society demanded the belief that god instructed these men of bethel to declare 1975 as the date for the end.
they talked about it in conventions.
they supported it in many of their publications.

Question for Dogpatch (Randy): What will it cost to produce the new 16-page Watchtower & Awake?
by Alfred inwhen literature used to be sold d2d, i remember how the society never missed an opportunity to trash other religions for "peddling god's word for profit" while boasting about how the watchtower only charges for the cost of the paper and ink.. in the book "witnesses of jehovah", the author mentioned that randall watters used to be involved in print cost analysis and determined that, while we were selling wt & awake mags for 20 cents door-to-door, it was really only costing the society 4 cents per copy to produce.
that's a whopping 400% profit!.
obviously, things have changed... the paper is different, as well as the ink and printing methods in general.

LETTER TO THE ELDERS...Hot off the press!
by Momma-Tossed-Me inwill post as soon as i get a clearer copy!.
but in a word it says, "in an effort to not place a burden beyond what our brother's can bare the governing body has decided to make the tuesday night theocratic ministry school, service meeting, and bookstudy optional.
this new change will relieve financial pressure on the congregation and allow them to put our efforts and valuable things toward the work we are scripturally required to do.".

The peace in the worldwide brotherhood. Proof that it's gods organization?
by BreathoftheIndianNose inand things are within a week or two of being d.a.ed/d.f.ed, and my jw best friend sent me an email to check how i was doing.
i was fairly sure that he was very much on the edge of leaving to, or at least that he didn't believe it for a long time.
so i sent him an email in reply and told him basically everything i believed and the reasons i knew jws are not the true religion, and i also told him i was leaving.

BOTIN - It is uniformity not unity/peace. Fear keeps them walking in lock step, thus simulated peace....hope this helps.

Reduced Magazines Etc: Scenario Thinking
by metatron inforgive me for creating this thread but i believe there are aspects of watchtower downsizing that have not been fully understood or 'fleshed out'.. for example: you have a publishing company whose main source of revenues are book and magazine production and sales.
their international presence is supported by the profits they make on these.
so far, so good.... overtime, their products fail to sell.

I am waiting on pins and needles for the year when they have to report negative growth...
Surely, this will spur the R&F to work harder the next year

Who's The True Fool?
by sabastious inapril fools day is a fun day for me.
i love to see what everyone concocts in their heads with hopes of actually fooling someone, or at the very least getting something more than a courtesy laugh.
april fools day has been an invaluable social tool for individuals and groups alike for a very long time.
