Stop WT society information control by giving access to REAL information
by flipper inof course we all know that many ex-jw's are doing this online constantly and that's a good thing.
whether by you tubes, websites, blogs, etc.
the worldwide community of ex-jw's has been and will continue to be proactive in putting out real information to counteract and offset the lies and fantasy propaganda put out by the wt society.

It can't be an accident that it takes around 140 years of door-knocking, per publisher, at 10 hours per month, to generate one new external baptism. (Depending on year, assumptions and calculation used).
The word has gotten out, and most know to avoid the WBTS like the plague.

What is the basis for authority for the governing body?
by Half banana ina word to jehovahs witnesses: what is the basis for the authority the seven members of the governing body can claim in controlling the lives of eight million followers?
the organisation they represent has never got one useful piece of information correct in one hundred and thirty five years... so why should they be believed?.

As we know they trot out the usual 1914/1918/Kingdom/Jehovah bunkum which can't withstand much scrutiny or questioning at all.
We on the other hand have tons of information to disprove their arrogant claims.
Just one small example: "If CTR died in 1916, how come he did not know that Jesus started ruling in 1914?"
And most inconveniently there is JWfacts.com, and Ray Franz' books, parts of which can be read in the WBTS publications.

On page 5569 (Laodicean Messenger 1923) it is made clear that CTR was the only FDS for all time:
"Would it not, then, be well for us all to adjust our minds to the thought that God never intended that there should be but one servant, who at any time would be made “ruler over all His goods”; furthermore, that Charles Taze Russell filled this office from first to last; having no predecessor, and it is quite certain that no successor was intended." -

JW: Because they say so.
RC: What about the Pope and college of Cardinals?
JW: They're lying... Our clericalism and magisterium is from God himself.

I Haven't Missed a Meeting in Years!
by Oubliette ini recently ran into a jw i knew from a few years back.you know how it goes, a few pleasantries that always seem much more awkward than they really should (not for me, mind you--for him).and then the question, "so what congregation are you attending?
are you able to make the meetings?
"i'm thinking: do you always start conversations this way?so anyways, knowing full well the jw-mindset, i decided to have a bit of fun.furrowing my brow, i said, "that's an odd question!

I haven't missed a single meeting in almost 6 years!
It seems the further away from the Watchtower we all get, the smarter we all get.
Or maybe it's JWC's fault.

It can be a real challenge to put the realities of Watchtowerdom into words. You've done a brilliant job. -

Fading and not "outing" yourself, what are your thoughts on it?
by Brock Talon infading and not "outing" yourself.. what are your thoughts on it?.
i ask, because i just received a scathing personal message on facebook from a person who read my latest book and in it i describe myself as a fader.
i was not dfd and i did not da myself.

Pretty much what others have said.
Brock, did you consider that when sometimes when someone reacts badly, the problem could be entirely their own?
Maybe his attack was driven by deep-seated fear, and he feels threatened by the possibility of realities he is not equipped to deal with.

Rethinking "this world", "the world", and "worldly"
by Fernando inif all religion is a snare and a racket as per judge rutherford, then has religion maybe lied to us on this score too?.
could jesus have meant: "if you belonged to the (religious) world, it would love you as its own.
as it is, you do not belong to the (religious) world, but i have chosen you out of the (religious) world.

Thanks for sharing Perry.
I had the same sense, just not the words.
