I don't know where that photo's from. But that is one awesome website! However, if that photo is photoshopped then it does dump the credibility of that site down the toilet.

@Giordano,
LOL! I couldn't stop laughing at the part about the CO crying and John's gesture.
This is the best experience I have read in a long time. You should contact Randy at FreeMinds to post it there.

JW sister tells me about 1975- amnesia strikes again!
by moshe inshe came in the jw world in 1966 with her mother- she was 6 years old.
she graduated from high school in 1976. during the 90 minutes i spent with her yesterday, she mentioned that the org never said the end was coming in 1975-" it was just a few who said that and they all left after 1976- which was good- because jah needed to cleanse the kh of all who were serving with just a date in mind.. i asked her, "don't you remember the assembly talk from 1969 or 1970, where the speaker said, "stay alive until 75"- no she didn't remember.. i explained that our kh had a co tell us from the platform," brothers there is only 18 months left until armageddon- wow, she exclaimed.. i continued my story, "the po's 16 year old son quit school in 1974- to become a regular pioneer- he was held up as a fine example in the cong- and used as an example at a circuit assembly that year of someone who putting jehovah's work first.
didn't you have some who quit school to pioneer back then?".

Did Freddy Franz Leave after 1976? That's weird, I thought he went on to be the President of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society?

It Is Not the First Time
by AGuest into the household of god, israel, and those who go with, may you all have peace!.
i have not been posting "a lot" lately (not that i post a lot, considering the averages) and there is a reason: i have another bit to share and just wasn't up to the "fight" that usually comes when i do so.
so, i had to take a step back and let our lord refresh me a bit and give me the strength... and flint-y forehead... that i would need to follow through with this post.

Bombshell: Is the AJWRB for real?
by Nickolas init appears, from my recent visit to www.ajwrb.org that there is an underground group of practising jehovah's witnesses who are seeking to change current blood doctrine.
they call themselves the associtated jehovah's witnesses for reform on blood, or the ajwrb.
does this group actually exist?

The about page lists most of them as mostly ExElders and some current elders.

My Current View
by Terry inmy current view is that half the world exists to reassure the other half that there is something they don't know that can only be found by listening to the first half telling it.
(and at retail).. .

Terry, I think the 50% is very generous. Aren't there a greater percentage of followers than leaders?

A rational look at MIND CONTROL vis a vis Jehovah's Witnesses
by Terry inon the topic of mind control...... .
a child is disciplined (controlled) by parents, educators and custodial representatives.. as children we grow accustomed to this dynamic (being controlled for our own welfare) and we learn to adapt.. .
mind control is neutral in this context.. educators must seek to control the attention and comprehension and behavior of students.

Thanks Terry for spelling it out simply. I've find it hard to articulate how JW leaders use mind control. This is a big help.

How do JW's justify lying to people they call on?
by highdose inyou may remember my recent experiance with two jw's at my door.
they lied non stop to me and even when i pointed out their lies they still did not tell the truth.. do they really think that they will win people into their cult by lying to them?
don't they think about what will happen when the person finds out they have been lying to them?.

The ends justify the means...
If they said "Hi. If you don't obey and worship God that way that the responsible spirit-anointed Jehovah's Witness men at the Brooklyn headquarters tell you to, you are going to be destroyed", most people would think JWs are nuts.

conundrum for the writing department
by therevealer inin the latest awake magazine in an article "are science and the bible compatible?
" three men of science are referred to and quoted, henry schaefer, professor of chemistry, austrian physicist and nobel laureate erwin schrodinger and john lennox, professor of mathematics at the university of oxford, england.
if you do a google search of these names you will be see that all three have years and years of worldly education to their credit (which is contrary to all things watchtower).

JWs have no objection to using the world's resources to advance Kingdom Interests. It is "using the world to the full".
