I noticed some time ago Booker loves to start threads and never return to comment again on them. Looks like steve was able to at least squeeze one response out of him this time based on his prior comment.

Why do "Apostates/exjws" always go into "Watchtower-bashing" when you show them inconsistencies in the Bible?
by booker-t ini have noticed with "apostates/exjws" they always resort to "watchtower-bashing" whenever you show them inconsistencies of the bible.
we could be talking about contradictions, such as where did cain get his wife if adam,eve, abel, and cain were the only ones on earth?
the usual answer when they cannot answer will be "well the wt gave false prophecies in 1975".

What really woke me up: I started noticing most JWS are weirdos..
by kneehighmiah inthankfully my parents are converts so they aren't wierd.
seemed pretty popular by all accounts.
they are "popular" jws even now.

Agree with sparrow, I think a lot of it has to do with the pressure cooker of JW life combined with the fact that JWs are fenced off from any other viewpoints by constant association with each other.
Do that for 30,40 or 50 years and you start to develop a lot of people who are completely disconnected from reality.

Why do "Awake" vloumes only start at 1970 on computer disk?...interesting!
by Witness 007 inyet watchtowers go way back to 1950's....i picked up three awake volumes 1967-1969 i was struck by the poor science {aluminium is posion}, demon articles and anti-organ transplant articles.
also much was said about 1975 being the end of the system and "the generation.
" it feels like fred franz was writting alot of these which now is plain embarrasing and better left un-published.. .

Lotsa crazy ass shit in those Awakes, especially the "face the fact that you will never grow old in this system of things" tirade in 1969.

Is shunning an expression of love or just a place for the shunner to hide?
by cha ching into three people in my family, disfellowshipping / shunning is just a tool the wtbs uses to hide what really happened.... they don't want people to 'see behind the curtain.'.

Shunning is simply 'Information Control' in the cult. They don't want the troops to know what somebody did, only that they did something against the rules.
The fact that they changed the rules in 1981 to never let anyone DA without the penalty of shunning shows they had something huge to hide from every single Jehovah's Witness.

Deposition of Richard Ashe

Ditto what truthseeker notes, basically he was who WT put forward to explain WTF they are doing up there in the service dept. If you read some of the docs you see that WT attorneys fight tooth and nail to keep Losch out of the mix, and hang this guy out to dry.
In the end Losch dodges like the coward he is.

A few verbatim quotes from Anthony Morris' talk during the Branch Visit.
by Open mind inhaven't contributed much here in a while.
it's not modest and it's certainly not sound of mind.
you be spiritual man enough to tell these young fellows 'you don't go out in the ministry looking like that.

"Jehovah's spirit is being blocked in the congregation"
by stuckinarut2 inso, how many times have we heard this expression (or a variation of it):.
"jehovah's spirit seems to be blocked here in the congregation...perhaps he is bringing something to light...etc".
it seems that the org often uses this expression, and links it with the "fact" that god wont bless a cong as much,(or at all) if there is "stuff" or "sins" being carried out.. so, why is it then that the cong i am in is experiencing its best years of activity in all aspects?

Jehovahs spirit must be suffering from ED.
Back in the day, it could raise the dead, literally.
Make people speak in tongues, heal the sick, cure the deaf, etc.
Today, God's spirit can't get past the masturbators in the hall. Maybe a Viagra can get the Holy Spirit going again.

20 years, that is something! Nice work.
Would be hilarious after they explained the changes to come back with "So was it the truth then, or now? It can't be both."
