I am not a JW and never have been. However, the best arguments for becoming one are provided by those who are against it, in that such arguments completely ignore the broader picture.
Nothing could make it clearer that you are a JW..

Mysterious Ways
by alienone ini think everyone is missing the point by trying to argue for and against the wtbts using words and "logical argument".
clearly, god did not want the truth to be obvious and, scripturally, it is apparent that it would not be.
jesus said that only "a few" would find the truth in these last days.

Neither side can claim to be right. Neither side has "better evidence" in the objective sense. It's all purely in the eye of the beholder, just as evolutionists and creationists can provide mounds of conflicting (though equally persuasive) "proof" for their claims. But here, again, people believe what they want to believe; whichever argument best fits their existing world view.
Utter bullshit. By this reasoning it is impossible to correctly decide anything. I believe you have been confronted with uncomfortable facts or arguments against the WTBTS and so to prevent cognitive dissonance you discredit ALL facts and arguments on both sides, reducing everything to an a priori assertion that the WTBTS is true and God wants us to join it on faith alone.

Yahoo Clubs - What do you make of this?
by slipnslidemaster inokay, hopefully this won't start a big riot (like the last time)...here's the deal, my cousin (now, please keep in mind, she is not a witness) had a dinner party at her house last sunday.
she invited 10 of her closest friends, with one catch, every person invited had to bring one person w/them.
the person could be male or female and they had to be someone who my cousin (the host) did not know.

HIV tainted blood after 9/11/01?
by DIM inlast night at meeting, the circuit overseer said in his talk "and there has even been talk of hiv / aids tainted blood that has slipped through the screening process in the aftermath of the world trade center bombing, contaminating the survivors of the tragedy.
can you imagine, surviving the world trade center bombing, then finding out you have contracted hiv?
" he made no references to any newspapers or where he got this information from.

HIV may be small enough to pass through the pores of a lambskin condom (does anyone actually use these?) but using latex or polyurethane you should be safe. Latex pores are too small for HIV to pass. Polyurethane has no pores. The failure rate with latex or polyurethane is mostly due to human error in using the thing.

Budddha Bless Afghanistan
by unclebruce inthere is a lot of ignorant afghan bashing going on here at the moment (as opposed to informed afghan bashing) and when we read the papers and see the television pictures it's little wonder why.
the world news media is on a feeding frenzy whipping up so called 'anti-terrorist'* retoric to silly levels.
(*one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter .. nelson mandela?

In regards to "civilian injury", I propose that Osama himself could have the same position (w/the exception of the simple fact he wants all Americans/Isreali's dead). His targets were the Pentagon (military), White House (political & military) and the WTC (to make a point & offices of FBI). So, where are American viewpoints different?
What the fuck are you smoking? This is the most preposterous statement I have read yet.

My past weekend
by Leander insaturday afternoon i made the decision to step down as a minsterial servant.
i had given it a lot of thought and i came to the conclusion that i would be doing the right thing.
i told my wife about the decision i had planned on making and that basically killed her mood for the rest of the day.
