Andee, cute thread.
I am a car drummer. My steering wheel has a nice resonance to it, so I've been known to tap away at it, or even thrash around with my hands like I'm on a drum kit while at a stop light. Some singing too. Yes, it's amazing how you can recall the lyrics of a song even when you have not heard it for a long time.

Musings on Children, Ex-JW Wars, & Truth
by Perry inmusings on children, ex-jw wars, & truth seeking
i think that children represent a real and credible threat to the wt.
children by nature are inquisitive and require explanations, which requires two way communication.

The Elder That Wanted To Disfellowship The Dead
by minimus ini mentioned about the elder that masturbated in another post.
this same man at the elder's school, felt that the appropriate course to take against a person that committed suicide was to disfellowship him.
when he was questioned about the reason, he felt that the person, no doubt, committed a sin against the spirit.

That's one whacked elder, but hey, the .org breeds that type. Sure, not many are like that, but there is that suggestion in WT literature that suicide may jeopordize the dead's relationship w God, hence such views are born in the minds of some of the less compassionate JWs.

Jesus Set Precedent for Shunning
by JosephAlward inabandon family to serve god ?
a contradiction not often discussed relates to the biblical teaching to abandon family in order to serve god.
matthew claims that jesus told his disciples to "honor your father and mother.

God's name
by freedom96 inever notice how as a witness, you could not say "god" by itself.
always had to be preceeded by jehovah, or just say jehovah.
i remember my ex telling me that was the first sign that they knew i was on the way out, because i would refer to god simply as, "god".

I've always felt that the name Jehovah was over-used by the jws and their publications, and while I wouldn't say that they'd say that using "God" was wrong, one does feel very odd in their midst when saying "God".

Who have you PERSONALLY met here?
by gumby in.
well, i'm a little on the jealous side.. i always here of posters here who seem to personally know each other....of coarse not most.....but many.
just curious who knows who in the flesh?..........well partially covered flesh anyways.. when you meet them for the first time....are they way different than you expected?.

Haven't met anyone yet. I do have a list of those whom I'd like to meet.
Actually, one question raised at the outset, as to whether the people you've met are what you expected, is an interesting one.

How WT teaches its Kids to Lie in court
by JT inwhen i was an elder i recall reading a boe letter about a little booklet that could only be requested if there was a child custody case in your hall, a copy was not be be kept ,but only requested on a need only basis.
little did i realize what it actually contained, knowing personally a number of the folks who work on the legal desk it never dawned on me that they would say what they did, but being a society man i guess i would have merely viewed it as a theocratic move.
the watchtower society encourages lying!

Good post. It is clear that the WTS does indeed try to create a false impression from what I can see. The 'emphasis' in WT publications and at assemblies and so forth is toward a life with JW goals in mind. The 'emphasis' totally changes in this brochure.
