There are ways to get this site to crawl up the google ladder and make it the #1 site that pops up when a search is done. It's all about keywords and techno-babble. But I'm sure if Simon wanted to enlist someone who knows how to do it, they could make sure it's always in the top 3. Personally, I'd love to see this site stay in the top 3, and have Freeminds be up there with it. That way, when someone wants info on JW's, the first sites that pop up are all RED FLAGS.

I had my first encounter with JW's at my door! I was called an apostate!
by Desert Rat inso, i am getting ready to move across the state.
we bought a home there, and have taken a couple of loads over, with the main move being this next week.
i went over this last week cause i wanted to paint the kitchen and dining room before we moved in (a lot easier to do without grandkids and dogs under foot).. anyway... here i am painting away when there is a knock on the door.

Good job, DesertRat! I find the way they run from "apostates" to be humorous. Like we're going to mind-rape them or something.
It's interesting how they cannot and will not see past the WTBTS bullshit and come to terms with the fact that truth can and does stand strong when you hold it up to the light of scrutiny. If the WTBTS was the truth, then they should have no fear of someone challenging their doctrines. They should be more than happy to refute it...but they can't. They aren't equipped to do so because, point blank, they don't really KNOW their bible, only what the Washtowel Babbling Crap Society tells them the bible says and means and it's backed up by canned cherry-picked scriptures that are taken way out of context in order to support their theology.
When I used to try to talk to my mom sensibly, it turned into her running to get a publication off the shelf to prove a point to me. Little does she understand that she can't prove jack shit with a WTBS publication. Just because some printery in Brooklyn says such-and-such is so, that does not automatically make it fact. But they can't see that. Because they don't worship any god (which would be so much more noble in my eyes, even though I'm an Atheist), they worship a publishing corporation who claims to channel god.
If some homeless man on the street claimed he could channel god, he'd be on a very short trip to a padded room where they'd fit him with a nice little jacket that makes him hug himself. Yet for "generations" ( ) the WTBTS's Governing Body has claimed just that...a slew of men over the more than 100 years since Russell started his Studies in the Scriptures has claimed they are god's one sole channel of communication on earth. Well, if that's the case, then that's a pretty crappy channel...you know, the ones with all the snow that sometimes blend into the next channel so you get a mix of messages?

Uh yeah, what White Dove said lol... There was zero point to that post, unless of course your questions and scenarios are somehow pointing to the theory that there MUST be a god and we can't fully understand things about him because we're all simple-minded and can't comprehend the myths that were made up thousands of years ago because we're not JW's...in that case then, yeah I got your point.

Convention attire
by Honesty indid your parents, spouse or siblings get all in a tizzy about what they were going to wear a couple of weeks or months before the district convention?.
my ex is a pretty good seamstress (it's in the dna she inherited from her dad, a famous tailor from europe who made suits for celebs like s.stallone, c. eastwood, etc.
) and she would get all excited about what she and my teenaged daughter would be making and wearing to the convention.. .

I will say that I have always loved seeing some of the flashy hats, and get-ups that sisters come to the Convention wearing. I always find it comical that local African American women from our circuit will wear traditional African garb, as if they are at an International Convention. I have German heritage. If I could get away with wearing Lederhosen, I totally would. Heck, I just might even pack some beer for lunch.
ROFL!! I got a kick out of this. I WISH a brother would have worn Lederhosen...seriously! It would've been much more entertaining than the convention program! Ooooh! One year a young brother (like 16) of Scottish heritage wore a kilt to the convention!
Honesty: No, I don't think you were the family I was talking about...the dad wasn't a JW.

I initially had an attack of conscience and asked for my account to be deleted... I WOULD like to change my username, but that hasn't happened.
But in your case, yeah I'd agree it's essential to have it deleted. Just let Simon know that you have more than one account and don't use this one anymore and that it's a matter of privacy.

Not really a tizzy, but it was something I looked forward to...it was the only time of the year I got new dresses! Everything else was recycled outfits from previous assemblies and conventions or memorials. A family that I knew when I was a kid used to go all-out. Mom would buy yards and yards of 3 different fabrics and make matching dresses for her and her daughter, and a matching tie for her son for all 3 days. At that point, isn't it cheaper just to buy the clothing? Fabric isn't exactly cheap nowadays, expecially when you figure in having to buy zippers or buttons...
The last couple of years that I went, I didn't bother though...Wasn't much point. Last year was my final convention, so I didn't get anything new...not even shoes. A few months ago when I was going through my clothing and figuring out what to donate and what to pack, I threw all my meeting clothes in a trash bag and hauled them down to Goodwill. I'm left with one black skirt and one semi-dressy shirt. Just in case I need to dress up for something (which is so rare, it's not even funny).

God can kill a bajillion people over the course of history just because they pissed him off, but don't you dare do it!
The Governing Body can channel Jesus through holy spirit so they understand the scriptures and can explain it to you simpletons...but holy spirit in that capacity isn't available to you, you scummy dross! You can only use it when you forget what to say out in service!

Excellent essay. I throughly enjoyed reading your points. They were very well presented!
@ Mad Sweeney: I too am amazed that some people can't use their brains and instead just blindly say "Nope! My holy book says THIS, so you're wrong!
@ 20571pnt428571: The fact of the matter is, the issue of Sovereignty was never about the NAME (which, interestingly, is what this post was about!) but about God's "right to rule". When Jesus taught the model prayer, he said "Let your name be sanctified", which meant to be made holy and held in high regard...now, how in the world can a name be made holy and held in high regard if it's the WRONG NAME??
