  Maze, why did the WT society publish an apology for having led persons to believe that the end was coming in 1975?

  Cult Free Radio on May 14, 2011 at 10pm Eastern Time

  cult free radio on ustream has (at least) two guests lined up for next saturday night's show.

  the topic is education, and how the watchtower society uses it (restricting it, controlling it, etc.

  ) as a tool of control over its members.

  Did anyone see "Four Weddings" on TLC 2011/05/06 - JW bride

  by Scully in

  only caught part of this program during my tea time at work last night.. the premise: 4 brides competing with each other, and hosting the other brides at their wedding, scoring the wedding and reception.

  the prize was an all expenses paid island honeymoon.

  i didn't particularly care what was on tv, but a couple of my colleagues were watching it, but boy did i ever do a double take when one of the brides, named celeste, would not enter the church for the second and third weddings, based on her beliefs as a jehovah's witness.

  I Tivo'd this...don't laugh.

  I bet that JW bride was marrying a 'unbeliever' hence the banquet hall wedding. I'm surprised they would pick her, how could she truly judge all aspects of the ceremonies from CCTV.

  Is this normal witness behavior?

  i quit my bible study a couple days ago after taking a month or two to work up the guts.

  have been getting harassing emails/phone calls blah blah blah.

  but i got an email today telling me that an unbelieving spouse can be "sanctified" by his believing mate.

  hi i was just looking for some advice.

  i have been studying with the jw's for over a year now, and attended 2 memorials and the district/assembly conventions.

  at first, and up until very recently i truly believed what i was learning was the truth.

  Bravo to you confusedstudent, it's not easy to counter the manipulation of JW's but you did it. Stay strong in your resolve, welcome to the board.

  Memorial musings

  things i thought about during the memorial talk last night:.

  i don't know if it was just the memorial i went to or if this was across the board, but it seems that the talk was dumbed down a bit more than it had been in the past.

  not that it wouldn't surprise me if was dumbed down.
