Teary makes a good point- the wts is under no obligation to provide information to ex-witnesses.
Well, then they should probably stop posting literature on jw.org. It is on the Internet, after all. It would save them the embarrassment.

Did You Feel Bad For "Unbelieving Mates" That Would Go To Meetings?
by minimus ini did.. typically, it was the jw wife that pleaded with her hubby to please go and the husband, because he loved his wife/ family went along and endured the boring mundane meetings.. isn't it funny how everyone would cozy up to the "unbeliever" and invite him to "gatherings" even though he was very "worldly"?

I usually figured they were a little weird. I mean, how do you manage to end up with a JW? Why bother attending if you feel no compelling reason to? Well, now I know...

Again, not saying that would be easy, just saying they could do it if they wanted to. Evidently, they do not. Which isn't particularly relevant anyway, as that stuff's easy to check out online if you know where to look.
I just think it's odd that they wouldn't incorporate it into a CD-ROM, given how much they reference stuff from the pre-1950 era. But...whatever. Also, Teary should avoid talking to DF'd people on the Internet, unless Teary is unaware of the spiritual dangers of it as stated in the July 15th, 2011 issue of The Watchtower...

What exactly are men at the back of the hall taking care of?
by howdidtihappen inonce people have come in, and the doorman and the mic men are in place, why are there a few other suits scattered about at the back?
i saw a guy get up, sit down, get up, sit down, get up and when i looked what he was up to he was reading the noticeboard and looking around, waiting for a bus.
i figured he wasn't doing much at that point, but anything to not stay seated.

Oh yeah, those were interesting times, doing the mike-carrying. I tried not to intentionally check out any sisters, though. After all, if you're one of the only people standing up, everybody's going to notice. A gentleman has to carry himself a certain way...
Of course, it also became interesting when my DF'd ex-girlfriend who I was still madly in love with was there. Then folks would be looking to see if I was staring at her. Which I probably was. Hence why we got married and I got DF'd and she got an evil, ravenous, wolf-like husband to parade through the KH. (Nah, I don't attend anymore, silly!)
So...what were we talking about again? Oh yeah. Well, there weren't that many good-looking sisters there, and I didn't think they were attainable anyhow. Nor would I have known what to do even if they would've gone out with me. But I was about my job, not starin' at sisters. They were, in my opinion, quite dangerous if anything. Especially if they were like a cute Bible study. That is how my "DF'd ex-girlfriend" story got started, after all...

There's fat that needs chewing back there. Obviously.
Seriously though, the rules say there should only be two people in the back--attendants who escort folks to their seats and will presumably stop a knife-wielding maniac with a shotgun in a Speedo at the door. They also count how many people are there. I did that a few times myself. I honestly tried to pay attention, but some people just wouldn't shut up and other people kept coming back there I guess 'cause they got sleepy. Or they needed to use the bathroom, people with kids, etc.
Otherwise, elders have their forms to prepare or parts to coordinate. If somebody goes overtime they might need to talk to the other person giving the next part. Basic procedural stuff. Nothing particularly weird or sinister, in my experience.

Yeah, his response was pretty chilling to me, given how identical it was to Russell and all.

The CULT that rarely gets called a CULT...but sure does look like a CULT...
by Unlearn ini found this list below on another site.. you've no doubt seen these lists...or lists similar to them: they give you marked ways to identify a cult.. now, i'm sure many of us agree that these signs eerily match a certain watchtower-slangin' group we're all familiar with.. and im sure that what i'm about to bring up has probably been discussed here sometime before 'my' time.. but, look at these 'cult i.d.
symptoms' below...and let your mind go.
: let your mind freely wander.. who else do these signs apply to...if you think wider?

Man, that would suck. If we've all suffered like this because of a 2,000-year-old cult started by a carpenter. Talk about a mindfrak--no, a clusterfrak! A clustermindfrak!
