Welcome....and if nothing else, your heart and mind is free of the insanity.... continue to dwell on the positive of knowing it's all garbage.

Governing Body Member Stephan Lett Lies On JW.TV
by Finkelstein ini thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.
the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.
the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .

I'd say the fact that he claims he 'just knows' he is going to heaven to judge us....... pretty much makes anything else he says a moot point.
Lunatic.

Beards are evil, but do you know why?
by free2beme inas a witness, i knew several men who attempted to grow beards.
when they did, and attended meetings, it did not take long to be talked to by elders and told, "as spiritual men, they should not display an outward form of rebellion.
" why was this a form of rebellion?

Isn't shaving beards a pagan practice?
by EndofMysteries init's funny that in ancient times the jews had beard and had to grow their hair and the egyptians were the ones who shaved.
.
so shouldn't shaving be considered just like birthdays and holidays to the jws?

Advice needed on Crisis of Conscience
by cappytan inso, some of you may have seen my thread from yesterday about my wife waking up.. we had further discussion yesterday evening after i sent her the pbs video on the abuse scandals plaguing the watchtower.
she was so furious and pissed off at wt hq.
apparently a close relative of her's was abused by an elder and the only reason he was reproved and removed as an elder was because he confessed.

She knows it exists and you have it. Let it fester for awhile......let curiosity take it's course.....she will come to you when she is ready....
It will chew at her....... and that book, along with Christian Freedom ends the JW life forever......

Over 96% Accept 99%!
by Marvin Shilmer intoday i added a new article to my blog that shares a bit of astounding evidence of just how ridiculous it is for a jw to tell anyone anywhere that jws abstain from transfusion of blood, and plasma in particular.
this article is based on two studies authored by medical staff at duke university's center for blood conservation, a program that is heavily touted by the active "noblood" crowd among jws.
one of these studies contains a real whopper of a piece of information!

Now that is is some sick s*^t!
by OneFingerSalute inso the bible reading talks about some "good" appointed man who valued the office more than his wife and turned her over to the crowd to be repeatedly raped until she died.. then the sick hoser dismembers her and sends the body parts around the nation.
later the "faithful" jews from eleven tribes go up to do battle with the one "bad" tribe at god's okay and suffers defeat...twice!
finally the third time god lets them win.. wt says that we have to realize that women were expendable in those days.

"You young ones..."
by My Name is of No Consequence in"you young ones, are you worried about college, a career, retirement?
the end is so close!".
how many of us have heard that and are better (or worse) for it?.

There is no greater proof that JW's are a CULT than their constant desire to keep you from being a more educated person.
It is proof the entire 'belief' system is based on fear and control.

Midweek Meetings no longer Necessary
by Tech49 ini am sure we have all seen the recent letter to the boe concerning the change that will take place to the meeting arrangement during the week of the co visit.
to recap the basics: the meeting that usually contains the cong bible study (book study) and a co talk will be discontinued, publishers are encouraged to use their family worship night that week to cover book study material.. so here is a point that i think has been missed, or not even considered:.
if that particular meeting is hereby deleted from the schedule, the co and his wife will never ever have to participate in or go to another "book study", or "bible study" night again.

Isn't it funny???
Remember how the "book stud arrangement" was going to be KEY in getting us all through the Great Tribulation? There was even parts in the late '90s and early 2000's regarding emergency supplies, phone lists of publishers, etc.
Now......it's just an afterthought.
God they are dumb.

Is 1919 Important to the WT?
by Anon_SA1 indoes anyone know if the wt still claims they were appointed in 1919?
is there proof of this appointment?
any ideas where i can find out how they get to this date?

Without 1914, you can't get some weird connection to 1919..... I predict this entire eschatology will be pushed into the background and likely disappear once some of the current older JW's pass off the scene.
If you want to really laugh......ask a JW about 1919. The vast majority have ZERO idea what you're talking about.......and their entire 'religion' hinges on it....... it's comical.
