How common is swinging among JWs?
by JimmyPage in
1. jw
2. friends
my wife and i recently heard about two couples we know who switched partners in the past.

we then got to talking about a different couple we ate dinner with a while back who i thought gave off the vibe of wanting to swing.

my wife said she got that vibe too... thus the question: how common is this in wt-land?.

EXPOSING THE WATCHTOWER SOCIETY ONLINE.
by Vinny in
1. jw
2. experiences
i still spend some time here and there exposing the wt society for what it truly is (a man originating, man run, high control religious cult-like religious institution), rather than what they tell people they are (god's appointed channel/organization/people etc).

the facts prove without a doubt that god was never behind any of this:http://www1.tip.nl/%7et661020/wtcitaten/part1.htm.

here is the link to that letter: http://newsblaze.com/story/20081209054218zzzz.nb/topstory.html.

WTS vs Quotes: Requiem for a Research Web Site
by Quotes in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
in compliance with the terms of a settlement agreement, my information and research web site, http://quotes.watchtower.ca, is now "dark".

the domain "watchtower.ca" has been transferred to wts (i assume they will have it pointing to borg.org watchtower.org asap).

my copies of the site have been destroyed, the files deleted, and my wt library cd has been destroyed, in accordance with the settlement agreement which will afford a "discontinuance" of their suit against me.

1975 - Lest We Forget
by GetBusyLiving in
1. jw
2. friends
i find the topic of the 1975 end of the world scenario facinating, especially since i never lived through it.

do you old schoolers ever feel concerned that people will one day forget about what really went down?

with whitewashed tripe like the 'proclaimers' book informing dubs that it was just the false expectations of over enthusiastic apostates, are you at all concerned that the legacy of bullshit that is 1975 will be a forgotten moment in history blamed on you instead where the blame really belongs?
