i was hanging out at my girlfriends when some witnesses came to the door and offered her the " keep on the watch" magazine.

i had never seen it before and have to say it is one of the most refined pieces of scare tactics iv'e ever seen in my life.

it's like a piece of artwork on deception and hidden meanings.

think this activity will be used at the next convention to increase the sense of urgency in the sheeple?

has been an interesting year though when it comes to natural and man made disasters.

i wonder if there are some changes happening earthwide to the planet or if it just seems to be more out of whack than normal?.

How many different books have been published by the watchtower society?
by outlander in
1. jw
2. friends
i know there has been a lot, but does anyone actually have any idea?

to make it easier, lets omit books published before say 1960. that gives 50 years worth of books.

i wonder how many books it takes to teach the word of god door to door, and how many just find new ways to say the same things?

Just a short observation on my Bible study.
by outlander in
1. jw
2. experiences
i thought it would be fun to say yes to a weekly bible study just to see how far i could go in undermining the j.w.

beliefs, also to be honest i thought it would make a family member happy.

so i slowly and methodically refuted and questioned all the nutty things that my study teacher, or whatever he's called, tried to throw at me over a period of about 4 months.
