I gotta go with cantleave's take on this- the board is not dangerous- science can account for the subconcious hand movements- as for the board flying off the table or not being flamable- who threw the board and Parkers Bros need a thumbs up for making it safe by fire proofing it!

Ouija Board Hysteria
by Megachusen ini always wondered why jw's were always so afraid of ouija(pronounced as "wee-yaw" not "wee-gee") boards.
does anyone have any speculation about who started these jw myths?.
anyone who has actually tried the board and would like to give their opinions are welcome.

Im not fussed about it to be honest- I dont know what will happen 10 mins from now let alone in another 3 years time- we can predict things but nothing is 100% set in stone... I will worry about tommorow or 2012 when it gets here, if Iam still here (nothing is certain).

A Lexicon of WT Invective - Wiki Style
by Farkel ini'm starting this thread for fun.
and to let us blow off some steam, too.
most of us spent years or decades in an organization that hurled tons of invective against their "enemies" (everyone else was their enemy).

Is it ok to malign another's faith?
by bluecanary ini've seen this come up on multiple threads.
rather than derail them all, i'd like to talk about it here.. jws seem to feel that it is a form of persecution for anyone to question, doubt or speak negatively of their beliefs or organization.
yet, they are taught to do this to other religions.

by Janey214 inhello - first may i apologise for capital letters my keyboard has gone screwy.
for the last several months i have been having meetings with two really nice women from the jw organisation.
i don't want to offend anyone by asking these questions i am simply trying to better understand how the watchtower came about without listening to too much anti stuff.

Hello Jane
Welcome to the board!
Iam not classed as an apostate or an ex-JW... I was just like you 2yrs ago (by this I mean I began a study with a really nice ladyJW), I have since left my studies and any association with the WT org (not the people). Just like most others on here, I can not stress enough the point that you really need to know what your getting yourself into, at first they will seem very convincing and for someone who has little bible knowledge it will be hard to find error in what your being taught by the WTBTS at first. You have come to the right place for information (use the search on here to bring up threads relating to your questions and please concider even the anti stuff).
One thing you will not be taught by a JW is that suposed apostates have nothing to gain by telling you anti stuff- these are people who have been hurt by this cult mentally, emotionally, physically and many still have relatives that because of the JW shunning policies will not speak to them. Some are people who want to leave but because of close family and friends, they stay in order to not loose these relationships that are being controlled by the WTBTS. It was easy for me to leave- I had no close family or friends in at the time and stood to loose nothing by leaving, I was just a 'study' and they were not too concerned by my 'lack of faith in the faithfull slave'. I joined this forum after leaving, so some of my earlier posts were VERY ANTI LOL- but I after sticking around and reading and learning I now have a much better understanding of the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses- the anger is almost fully gone for me.
The information I first found while doing a history check on CTRussel was in the online wikipedia- but there is some really informative information on him and the original members here on JWN (check in the best of topics section on the board). Like I said earlier- people now classed by the WTBTS as apostates are real people who have absolutly nothing to gain by telling you information about this cult- most speak anti to people concidering joining out of love not hate. The best cure is prevention!
Dont be worried about asking them questions, (they came to question you!), but at the same time ask your self the hard questions- what do you believe? I hope you will find the answers are in your heart- not in a book published by the organisation trying to convert you.
Take care and question everything.

I agree with the WT statement that it is not religious persecution to say and point out that it is false- but only if that religion is being forsed upon you!
The very last religious question I asked my study mentor before I left was "How do you feel when you tell someone that what they have believed their whole life is a lie? wouldn't you want to be damn sure before you make the statement that will change their entire life?
I have no inclination to try and convert an Atheist- they only differ from me as a Deist in one way, I believe in higherpower and they dont- it is the revealed religions (Judasim, Islam, Christianity) that go out of their way to convert/control the mass population that are commiting the real 'religious persecution' to those who need more than faith to believe, to those who dont have enough proof to believe and even amoung themselves.
I dont know about everyone else but I will never say Iam 100% a true believer and know 100% that I have the truth, but Iam 100% certain that I have made the right choice for myself by leaving revealed religion in the trash were it belongs!

I did watch a few of them... the last one I watched may have worked if it wasn't the "JW's Stand Firm" DVD about the war in Germany... It's sick how they twisted the facts to suit their own agenda! To me that was very wronge!!!
This DVD may be the one to get them on (for NOT being the truth and flatout LYING about their real history).... May I sugest you do a search on the purple triangle on JWN- Iam certain this has been a thread topic before and more knowledgeble exJW's will have no doubt pointed out all the faults in this DVD for you to use as ammo!
