  Maximum Damage to the WT.

  by Essan in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  i have to hand it to the society.

  they understand the power of organization.

  they demonstrate that no matter how ridiculous your message and how much the facts don't support your position you can still accomplish a lot if you are organized.

  What seems to be missing is an information clearinghouse where ex-JWs can reach a wide audience of like-minded people who are doing similar projects, who would be interested in participating in or aiding those projects, or who would benefit from those projects.

  Mad, what you describe is a Wiki. Not expensive or difficult to host and maintain by someone with a moderate IT knowledge.

  KHConf - I had no idea how big it has become!

  if you are a jw in the us or canada, you probably already know about "khconf".

  it is a business that has been set up (presumably by some jws somewhere) that supplies call-in numbers and teleconferencing for shut-ins to listen to kingdom hall meetings.. they have their own website: www.khconf.com.. .

  what i didn't know is how much they've spread!

  freeconferencecall (dot) com is far superior and, well, FREE!

  Wonder who is the Einstein behind using the paid unreliable service instead...

  In the opening paragraph of the mag:

  “THE worst economy in a generation.” That is how Encyclopædia Britannica Online described the recession that hit the world recently...."

  Really?! I thought a Generation consisted of overlapping generations spanning over several lifetimes, even going back to 1914.

  By the same standard, the Great Depression of the 1920-30s would be "The worst economy in a generation".

  Why suddenly agree with a worldly source, which definition of a "Generation" is clearly wrong by your own standards?

  Dual-faced hypocritical bastards don't stop there; the rag is full of gems I don't really have the time to post or analyze. This is just a primer if someone wants to continue...

  Enjoy the read.

  Would you pose as an "interested one" and "study" to help free my family?

  by Essan in

  2. experiences

  ...in return for someone else doing the same with your friends or family?.

  this is a hypothetical question to see how many would be interested in something like this and if it could work.

  (i created another thread about this but the title and op wasn't clear enough.

  Essan, I like it - you have to keep it really tight lipped though.

  It could easily be infiltrated by posing JWs and with all personal info the "targets" and their congregations can be alerted. What a wonderful "experience" for the next convention - brother X exposed apostates...

  Maybe in the form of a PM, not a board setting, and then you still really don't know who is for real and who is posing...

  Let me reiterate - I like the idea, (im)proper execution is what scares me...

  you know it's time to get a new job when.... your boss gushes about how much she and everyone appreciates all your hard work and support but doesn't train you with new skills, and it's been over a year since you started.. no new skills, no raise, no promotion, just empty promises of yes!

  sometime in the future.

  there oughta be a category for occupations..

  Dove, dear, don't get me wrong....I empathize with you. Have been in your position for 5 years (and I am talking 2001-2006) when jobs were plentiful and I could (should) have jumped ship. Only when I was forced to be on the other side of the fence did I see all the things that go on behind the curtains of a small business.

  But as I opened my previous post, I don't know the particulars and if it is time to change gears, it is time to change gears. Wish you the best of luck in the job search!

  Don't know your particular situations, but there is that recession thingy with high unemployment out there......

  Business owners are not necessarily raking the big bucks either. There are always two sides to a story; try to put yourself in the shoes of he man (woman) who signs your paycheck...

  so, lets speak hypothetically here.

  lets say the wt is right about paradise earth and the new world.

  if we did live forever, what would happen if we fell off a cliff accidentally?

  My indoctrinator.....ahem, study conductor said we won't be falling or getting into accidents because, since we'll be perfect, our senses will be so much more perceptive.

  I never bought it, but he did his part I guess, whether he believed it or not.....

  Religious Reform

  by Maze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  as a bible based organization, how do feel jehovah's organization should be reformed?

  the answer is quite simple in christendoms churches:.

  1. reject false doctrines like the trinity and 'all christians go to heaven' and use of images in worship.. .

  US Boys Scouts and the LDS Church conspired to cover up child abuse

  Bzzzzzzz.

  Logical Fallacy - Tu quoque.

  The fact that someone else had committed the same crime does not make the crime committed by the WTBS any less of a crime.
