Christianity Pagan says Rex
by Satanus inthat's right, read it for yourselves, you other christians.
our resident theological authority could not come up w a single non-pagan original christian concept.. 'why in the world would you expect christianity not to contain the truth gleaned from paganistic beliefs.'.
see the complete thread at:.

Hey....the fundamental teaching of Jesus....i.e. The Golden Rule was borrowed from pagan religions! Haha! So there appears to be nothing unique about Christianity.

burn your Ray Franz books
by edward gentry inwent over to a disassociated witnesses house the other night,.
former org hatchet man,now as violently opposed to the org as he was, once, enslaved by them.. hes talkin "raymond franz says this...franz says that" all night.. it made me sick to my guts.. franz was pure borg heirachy, born and bred to power.. now hes opposed (if he aint dead by now)and these ex borg mind slaves are still listening to the guy like hes a repository of truth.. im not attacking ray franz,hes probably a nice guy,im just floating an idea.
what is a free mind?.

Edward,
Ray has all his ducks in a row. References to articles and letters...most of which we would not have access to. IMO he does not try to seek followers.

Demons & Invisible Forces
by Celtic indid any of you have disproportionate fears of demons, and if you are able to, what was your experience in your emotions with these strong fears?
how did knowledge at such a young age affect you with the detailed graphic descriptions given my the published litureture?
were there any publications which freaked you in any way?

Branch Committee
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXDear Brothers:
Because of published allegations by opposers that we have secret links with the United Nations, a number of branches have inquired about the matter and we have replied. However it has highlighted the need for an additional training in a number of areas.In order to assure the highest levels of ability from appointed men, it will be our policy to keep all such brothers well trained through our program of SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (S.H.I.T.). We are trying to give our appointed men more S.H.I.T. than before.
If your local body considers it does not receive its fair share of S.H.I.T. , please see your local branch office. You will be immediately placed at the top of the S.H.I.T. list, and our branch overseeers are especially skilled at seeing that you get all the S.H.I.T. you can handle.
Appointed men who don't take their S.H.I.T. will be placed in DISTRICT ELDER EVALUATION PROGRAMS (D.E.E.P S.H.I.T.). Those who fail to take D.E.E.P S.H.I.T. seriously will have to go to ELDER ATTITUDE TRAINING (E.A.T S.H.I.T.). Since our Branch overseers took S.H.I.T. before they were appointed, they don't have to do S.H.I.T. anymore, and are all full of S.H.I.T. already.
If you are full of S.H.I.T., you may be interested in a assisting others so their 'advancement may be manifest to all [persons]'. ( 1 Timothy 4:15)
Appointed men can be added to our BASIC UNDERSTANDING LECTURE LIST (B.U.L.L. S.H.I.T.). Those who are full of B.U.L.L. S.H.I.T. will get the S.H.I.T. jobs, and can reach out for the new privilege of service DIRECTOR OF INTENSITY PROGRAMMING (D.I.P. S.H.I.T.).
If you have further questions, please direct them to our HEAD OF TRAINING, SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (H.O.T. S.H.I.T.).
May Jehovah continue to bless our efforts and please be assured of our warm Christian love and best wishes.
Your brothers,
Brother IN GENERAL

Reaching JWs with humor..
by Introspection ini was thinking, since the main problem seems to be that witnesses usually won't open up.
well, there seems to be no shortage of funny human behavior, so why couldn't this work?
of course, it isn't a matter of laughing at them.. perhaps point out some behavior that wouldn't be readily identified with witnesses (but does fit) and go from there...

Intro.....this is a contrast to blowing them away...with the uzi 9mm.
I think it has its merits! There a lot of funny aspects to life in the WT world. e.g. Its stance on oral sex....its bad...its OK...its bad. Bit hard to swallow, hey?ISP
