In light of a lot of the watchtower's kool aid articles that I have read on here over the past year or so, it seems as if the watchwer bible and tract society has pretty declared war on ex-JW's (using there #1 tool: the bible of course). Is this the right way of putting this? Would you guys word this different in a more legalistic fashion? It seems to be that if anyone disagrees with the watchtower they are enemies of jehovah, but especially ex-JW's.

My mother is trying to indoctrinate my 4 year old and I do not know what to do
by jwfacts inmy mother lives a plane trip away from me, so does not get to spend very much time with zac.
however, she is in sydney for 3 weeks and has been babysitting.
i knew that she would be talking about jehovah, but was very annoyed yesterday when zac said my mother was speaking all day about jehovah, such as how he made the stars.. in the past, i was not overly concerned if zac learnt about jehovah's witnesses, as i thought it would help with critical thinking skills to understand different points of view.

Yahoo CEO Just Got Fired, His Degree Was Fake! Who Said College Degrees Don't Matter?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inhttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2012/05/13/cmkc1ohf1b.dtl.
yahoo fired its second ceo in less than a year sunday amid concerns about an exaggerated resume, throwing the company into turmoil just months into its latest turnaround effort.. the board ousted scott thompson, 54, who took yahoo's top job in january, after a dissident shareholder questioned the biography he had submitted to the company before becoming ceo.
ross levinsohn, 48, executive vice president of the americas for yahoo, was named interim ceo.

What the Watchtower needs to do to survive.
by jwfacts indrop its teaching on paradise earth.. the primary issue facing the watchtower results from it's teaching that members will never die, but live forever on this earth in paradise.
this teaching is cause of most of the doctrinal failures, and will be its eventual demise.. the promise of never dying is one of the foremost motivations for people that join the religion, and the message of living forever in paradise is compelling.
however, it is also the watchtower's achilles heel, as it forces false predictions of the nearness of the end.

The one thing there gonna have to do is be more liberal about their stand on blood, sex, holiday celebrations, etc. As time goes on their beliefs are gonna become more bizzare to the average person.

I'm sorry about you being disfellowshipped. Or as we african-american witnesses say in the United States: Dissed.
Things will get better.

6/15 WT - WT Society can Run it's Business - but JW's Can't Have their Own
by flipper inin the typical do as we say , not as we do type mentality - the wt society puts forth in this current wt study article ( jw's only wt ) - that it's not " advisable " or " reasonable " for jehovah's witnesses to seek entering their own business ventures , or further themselves by getting a college education, or even have a career - due to the imminent coming of the alleged " end of the system " or alleged " paradise " .
the guilt and control used here is ridiculous.

Articles like these are extremely harmful to the rank and file JW's.
