  Browse in a bookshop in Tokugawa Japan

  by fulltimestudent in

  during the 268 years (approx) of rule by a military dictatorship in japan (approx.1600 to 1868) japan developed a growing, prosperous middle class and a proto-modernity that enabled the quick conversion to western modernity in the late 19th century.

  a feature of the era was a growing book publishing industry.

  people could make a living as authors, artists/illustrators, printers and selling books.

  Do not make the mistake of condeming the Japanese without looking at the western worlds track record.

  i find little in caucasian history that is noble and admirable.

  GATED COMMUNITIES IN PUERTO RICO: ACCESS CODES and REMOTES must be provided to the WATCHTOWER CORPORATION by APRIL 23, 2013...

  by Calebs Airplane in

  this case is in it's 9th year an has been touched upon briefly on and off.. the latest from the federal court is that all gated communites in puerto rico have until april 23 to provide the watchtower corporation full access.... this means the entry code or remote control devices that open the front fence.. this is clearly an act of provocation in order to create "pseudo-persecution" thereby increasing fs hours and "voluntary donations"....

  I will bet that within a month, the body corporate of these communities will change all the codes now and then just to piss off the JWs...then later reset them so that when the authories come to check...all is 'as it should be'

  Another elder came and told me I'm not an apostate and no-one can judge me.

  i'll call him bear, like teddy bear because he's big and nice.

  bear's the coboe, an intelligent but jittery man who suffers from a host of anxiety disorders.

  he 'just happened' to be driving down my street after the group, and 'just happened' to notice i was at home, tending to some animals.

  I myself am a nobody in all this, having long ago decided that i have no credibility to fight the WT on anything but a personal level. I have admired those that have credibilty and publicity and who are brave and noble enough to put their face, name and reputation out there for the world to see. Those who run forums and websites that are accurate and helpful, that bear their NAME.

  Having read all the pages of this sad situation...If i understand what i have read about a certain alias 'john cedars' and the incorporating of the movement are true...

  HOW CAN AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS INCORPORATED UNDER AN ASSUMED NAME BY FACELESS PEOPLE HAVE CREDIBILITY?

  What a train wreck and an embaressment.

  'We' are thousands of people who all want the WT to implode and have thousands of different ideas how and why. UNITY IN METHOD IS NOT POSSIBLE in this aim.

  The WT will not be forced to change a god damn thing by 'activists', it will change by losing its youth and the public seeing the real face of the WT.

  hy guys the other day my wife had a discussion with her jws brother and he told her that he received all posted material from this site posted by myself and was disgusted with the information.

  now that's all fine by me but what i am pissed about is that some one in here from sydney australia is a mole and pretends to be an ex jws while all the while exposing each and every one he knows as in my case.

  you are one big coward and one who hides behind a skirt a yellow and a chicken shit whom doesn't have the balls to face me in person because you obviously know who i am.

  I pretend to be the Lone Ranger Not because i am scared to be outed but because I have a business that relies on my name and the business it is attached to and it turning up in google. My customers do not need to know anything about my personal life. As for the JWs? I dont think any of them give a damn about me anymore...my kids are safe. This is the internet dude...what did you expect? The net is full of forums with alias's... thats called common sense not hypocrasy. Oz

  baptised JW is by no means a guarentee they are a JW or even a good one if they are. Dont get fooled into thinking a 'bonafide babtized JW' is a good catch.

  since coming to know ttatt, i have always wondered if there are others in the congregation who also share similar experience with me, are there pointers to identifying others who are also faking meeting attendance and fs activities..

  i wonder, looking back, if those who got shepherding calls and were soradic at meeting were actually awake, that those who were in good standing yet never seemed to really do much were not also fully awake and just faking it...
