yeah, it is getting more and more creepy all the time. it's a tactic to make the poor attendees more alert to the program by instilling the fear that they are listening to the governing body, God's soul channel of communication, control tactics at their worst.

just everything comes to the forefront I mean all kinds of secret letters, secret books. Little wonder why the elders give you those evil, judgemental stares. Hell, they have a whole world of affairs that the average joe-blow rank n file member would never know about

I want to start a website/ministry to help JWs leaving - how and why?
by Dogpatch ini have plenty of tips on my older site on starting ministries or outreaches.
though today they are now generally sites for public assistance, not personal blogs or opinion or doctrinal sites.
free minds has covered doctrines, news, opinions, and more for 32 years (since 1996 online).

yes, me too, Freeminds was what led me here too, I was signed up almost 5 years ago, but mainly just a lurker, occasional poster. I'd be so lost without this site, I'm on here way more than you know it.

yes, the Witnesses always claim that their 'readers are more educated' than the public in general. Hard to believe that one.

Just an amazing video through and through. It sure makes you stop and think that perhaps some in that car group may have there suspicions stirred-up and when they get home or even on their smartphones they will google what this young man said.
Another amazing thing is that older man he was talking to, maybe he was an elder, is that he is awake!! There are many more of the conscious class that are awake than we perceive. awesome !

"The end will come when you least expect it"
by stuckinarut2 inok, so didnt jesus supposedly say "the end will come when you least expect it"?
(or words to that effect...).
so, with so many witnesses running around in an excited way talking about "100 years since the kingdom...etc" and "it may be our last chance to pioneer etc"..."may be the last international conventions".....doesnt this mean then that the end can not come now??!!.

Fake friends and other things that annoy me about the Kingdom Hall
by MysticMage init was easy to figure people out.
as long as you got out in service and put money in the money box people will pretend to be your "friend".. but let's be honest is most of business associates.
they are your friends as long as you are active doing the watchtower bidding.. and then let's talk about the lack of hot women.

I've experienced two things;
1) you really have to be in the "in" crowd whether in the BORG or just in society in general to get a wife/gf, or just popular
2) secondly, inspite of the more sisters/girls in the BORG over the young men, it was pointed out to me many, many years ago that the sisters/girls actually do the choosing to create the opportunity for the brother/man to ask for relationship or marriage.

"we must be ready to obey, even if it doesnt sound reasonable from a human standpoint"
by stuckinarut2 inso its now all clear!.

someone mentioned on here earlier about the CO presenting a hypothetical situation about everyone being sent to the kingdom hall for days or weeks on end....and to drop everything and not to worry about our material things. The problem with that is.....if everyone went to the KH for days, weeks on end coutless people would lose jobs/houses as a result. Then after nothing happens after days/weeks/months people will leave the KH and there would be an enormous/massive exodus.

Speculation on why now?
by Crazyguy inin the last couple of years the org has gone money crazy, selling off over a billion dollars worth of property and now a new tithing program.
just wonder what every one thinks is the reason for all this now?.

Beth Sarim
I don't know, but now more than ever I have a really uneasy feeling about things. The fact that they have to destroy previous letters from the sociey, now a new tithing arrangment, liquidating assets and selling off properties, I mean what aren't they telling us. We're talking about dollar amounts which the average person can't begin to fathom, what are they hiding? Did they lose some heavy lawsuit or something, or other lawsuits?

yeah, there must be a biggie coming up with new light, they are planning something, I just know it. The fact they had that Watchtower a few months back about 'doing things that wouldn't make sense from a human viepoint' or something like that, something that will send shockwaves through the community is coming down the pipe.
