29Do You Know Of Anyone That Has Seen A Therapist Because Of Being A Witness?
by minimus ini really don’t know of many people who got into therapy because of their jw dealings but i would think that if someone remains depressed or severely affected by their past witness life, it’s not a bad idea to speak to someone to get you on the right path.
i think this site has been very therapeutic for many over the years..

I believe in patent and copyright law. People need to get paid for their work that we all benefit from. If you like listening to free music learn to write songs, play an instrument and pay $$$ for someone to record it or invest even more $$$ in a studio and enjoy your “free” music.
The watchtower isn’t going after this for the money at least not directly. They give this shit away for nothing. However, if jws hear this song before the convention it takes away from the anticipation and they will be less inclined to donate $$$. So it really is all about the money.

Jewish Hatred Is Nothing New
by minimus injews have been vilified for centuries!
they were nomads looking for the promised land.
they have been nearly exterminated and yet they are still in the middle east as well as a brotherhood throughout the world.

Cognitive Dissonance. Any oppressed person, group, or race are supposed to fail. When they succeed despite being put down it infuriates the general population. Same reason people hate hutterites in the farming community. They choose to be different and they are extremely successful in their endeavours.

"The purpose of the complex is strictly religious," he said. "As such the facility is tax-exempt. However, significant tax revenue will be generated for the region through the procurement of goods and services from local suppliers, contractors and consultants."
The only thing they will buy local is booze at discount liquor. Other than that they will go with the lowest cost supplier.

Could you sue the watchtower for plagiarism if they lifted it from an apostate web site?

Umm. Russel came up with 1914 because someone measured how many inches some passages were in the pyramids. Then the numbers didn’t work so he said the inches were wrong so they made up pyramid inches as a measure. There were still enough suckers around to believe this bullshit.
Rutherford/franz noor got into the 607 bullshit so that the times time and half a time would work out to the 1914 date. People still believed in it. I believed in it.

Degree of Effectiveness of JW Letter Writing Form of Witnessing
by Disillusioned JW ina newspaper article quotes a jw as saying "every (letter) i put in the mailbox, i feel, 'ah, this could reach somebody.
'" the article also quotes her as saying "we are accomplishing even more now than we were door-to-door because this way everybody in the house gets a chance to pick up that letter and respond to it.
it just feels good.

I think that the watchtower organization lies about a lot more than prophecy.
It is part of their motivation program to publish higher than real numbers to try and make the individual publishers do more by shaming them. It obviously isn’t working that well as they need to keep doing it.
