this site is awesome, but i don't know how many current or former dubs even know about it.

i found a home here pretty quick, and have really not bothered to look at other sites....are we #1. the search feature is great now, and i appreciate the effort put into it.

is there a way or need to donate?

but if you pass out and your wife finds jwd.............is that holy spirit at work?......................

Wow, not the most advised way of getting the word out. No such thing as bad publicity I suppose.

Since It's Damned if you do and Damed if you don't....I think you should go back.

Well said. I can't agree more.

Is it compulsory to stay the 15 minutes for association after the WT study?

by truthseeker in

well, today was the first sunday meeting with the half hour public talk.. the public talk was not for the public at all - it was about staying awake spiritually and was very hardcore.

more like a service talk.. before the meeting, one sister says that we are all expected to stay for at least 15 minutes after the wt study, because the society.

wants us to have more "association".. .

Nothing says "welcome" quite like a locked gate.

Anyone who thinks Obama is an extreme Muslim or refuses to place his hand over his heart during the National Anthem, needs to spend some time on Snopes.com

None of these candidates have won me over, but Obama talks a good talk.

"Who would you like to meet in the new system?" - Answers

by LtCmd.Lore in

sound familiar?.

this question was recently asked for the children in my congregation to answer.

i was kind of amused and disturbed at the same time by their responses.. .

No child wanted to meet Lott? What's up with that?

I personally want to meet King Soloman, just to see if his hips are in constant motion like a dash board hula dancer.

"Wake Up" tract from 1975

by cabasilas in

i'm doing "winter cleaning" today and came across an old tract that was distributed at a phoenix assembly back in 1975. i was an ardent jw (then at watchtower farms) and was attending this assembly.

i remember leaving out the north side of the convention complex and seeing the people outside with their tracts.

this was one called "wake up!

I love this old stuff from this period of JW history. It really shows how little the JWs know about their own religion. Thanks!

it was announced at the meeting last night that next week all should be in attendance at the service meeting as a special important letter will be read.

this is in addition to the letter about the district convention.

It seems here lately that they have a special announcement to introduce the world to the latest...

KINGDOM NEWS...

What number is it this time? I lost track after Kingdom News No. 34.

(If I'm right, do I win a prize?)

"Secret" or "Members Only" Watchtower available for download

by grassyknoll07 in

hey, the so-called "secret" or "members only" watchtower is available online at www.jw.org.

yes, it's true.

the fds is trying to control us so much, they are making it available in a top secret location; the internet!

The less accessable they make their literature, the more members they lose on the inside and the fewer they will recruit. The ones on the fringe will find being a JW more of a chore and question the whole "truth" theory. The ones who may show interest in being a JW will also find it not worth it because of all the cloak and dagger moves the Watchtower Society makes.

I like it! Keep making your litterature harder to get Watchtower! Maybe one of these days it will be impossible to get!
