WBTS creates "thought eunuchs".
Now there's a spot-on phrase worth remembering and repeating.

Hi Everyone!
by poopsiecakes ini haven't been here in quite a while and thought i'd pop by.
i do lurk at times, i confess lol.
after reading the recent publications at the new golden calf (jw.org), my mind is kind of blown that jw's are still not seeing through the constant adjustments, clarifications, new light and reversals.

All religions are false, but god is true.
by Domenic ini was a jw for many years.
during those years i learned how to identify a false religion.
all the other religions were easy to prove false.

Domenic, I suspect there are millions of non-religious believers worldwide.
What about an online forum where they can meet?

The TRUE story of a Pedophile
by Tech49 inthis is a true experience that i thought i would share, one that occurred just a few years ago in my area.
it is a real experience, nothing made up here.. a younger couple moved into our kh, into the joining congregation (so not ours, but the other one that shared our kh).
they seemed nice enough, they had one boy that was about 8, and a baby on the way.

I would not be surprised if the percentage of Pedophiles and cases was higher in the Watchtower than the Catholic Church.

I'm trying to pin down a definition for Evolution, hopefully in plain English, and some questions have come to mind:
Is this a fool's errand?
Has Evolution itself evolved?
If so how has the definition evolved?
Is there current consensus between Evolutionists on a definition?
Are there different schools of thought and definitions?
Is there a consensus definition shared between Evolutionists and Creationists?
What percentage of Evolutionists:
- are atheists?
- believe in God?
- believe in creation?
- believe life originated spontaneously?
Thanking you in advance for your contribution.

The conflict of living in a divided home is finally getting to me - 8 years later - advice please
by jambon1 into cut my long story short, having left the religion in 2006, my marriage with 2 young kids involved went through a fairly difficult time.
for a few years.
as i rebelled against the belief system i was astonished that having pointed out reasonable & logical objections, my wife just stood by the religion.

Do you think you and your wife could find clarity, healing, peace, wholeness and common ground, if you both agreed to make a pursuit of the actual theme (or central message) of the Bible, which although in the Watchtower library, is very different from that effectively taught by the Watchtower?
It worked wonders for our family, although initially my wife thought I had become apostate.
My wife has been transformed from mindless Watchtower drone and spiritual dunce, with no voice and no opinion, to someone a tradesman elder working on our home this week was afraid of and ran away from. I am so proud of her, considering all she has been through with the Watchtower religion/ists and cult/ists.
Not only are we completely religion free, but we are enjoying a vibrant faith and spirituality, and frequently have great, passionate, in-depth and exciting discussions.
Please let us know if we can be of any help (for example by supplying a sequence of "simple" questions for research in the Watchtower library).
Our best wishes for you and your family

Someone somewhere forgot to Trade Mark "The Truth" and "TTATT"
by Fernando injust a moment ago i came across a (smaller) cult with quite a few similarities to the watchtower.. jw = cooneyites, two-by-twos, "the truth" (and more).
wbts = christian conventions (and more).

From Marie Judd's Story: "I had always questioned the belief that only people in 'the Truth' are saved. I have some lovely friends outside who have never laid any burden on me, and I had a hard time believing they were not saved."

Do you think we could use this to help a loved one?:
"Dear loved one, I am thinking of joining the 'Two by Twos'. Do you know anything about them?"
