  New Book, a Powerhouse

  by Maximus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've received numerous questions asking for documentation of issues raised on this board.

  some threads have gems that get developed, then buried, and someone raises the same question.

  cd roms whirr.. for some ray franz is more than sufficient, others also enjoy the perspective of "apocalypse delayed" by trained historian james penton, which was vital to me personally.

  doing research about children slaves i remembered a watchtower article from the early sixties.

  it had the title:.

  in this article the watchtower society really take the gloves off and give us a glimpse of its real personality, an excellent reflection of the very god they worship.

  Most here should find this funny

  2. friends

  this is an exact copy of the letter given to me by the guy who was conducting my jw studies.

  he gave it to me after i told him i no longer wanted to study with the jw's, in part because of their failed predictions and doctrinal changes.. .

  but have not some of the beliefs of jehovahs witnesses undergone adjustments over the years?

  Nourishment for the Spirit

  by Maximus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my observation is that persons who 1) heal/adjust the most rapidly from their jw experience and 2) seem to have the most joy in life are those who read, read, read, in pursuit of what i call nourishment for the spirit.

  i've really enjoy the pithy aphorisms you use here, which suggests you've distilled some wisdom from somewhere.

  i'm going to ask your help in this thread.

  Making a Difference!

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some may ask themselves why they post on forums such as this one.

  they may wonder what compels them to do so.

  you may wonder what causes others to keep at this so frequently.

  Hi everyone....

  by Jeremy Bravo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i sit in front of my computer in a drunken stupor wondering what might have been, i felt i had to post my story to those who might truly understand what i am going through.. i am a newbie here, but have been lurking around for the last few weeks.

  i am 25 years old, from ontario, and totally heartbroken.. to give you some background, back in 1998, i studied with the witnesses because some friends of mine, whom i believe to be honest and sincere people, gave me (i thought at the time) some good advice to start a book study.

  i did, and i really enjoyed it because i felt they presented everything factually and had a strong interpretation of the scriptures (i'm a facts man, you see).

  10 Things That You Never See At Assemblies:

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a mexican wave.. cheerleaders.. a streaker.. ice cream / hot dog vendors.. people standing up with their fist raised high saying "yes!".

  extra time.. presentation of awards.. autographs.. booing.. the audience waving their lighters as night falls.. there must be more!.

  englishman.. ..... fanaticism masquerading beneath a cloak of reasoned logic.
