New video of interviews with Famous active and former Jehovah's Witnesses
by jwfacts ini have put together a mash up of active and former jehovah's witnesses, including a number of interesting interviews.. http://youtu.be/ozwvh57erro.
as a side note, i hope it does not get removed for copyright violation, as software automatically scans for pieces of music and i have already received some violation messages.
the video does comply with fair usage laws, as the music is relevant to the commentary..

Interesting JWFacts, I ever knew that about Naomi Campbell. You're going to get some very interesting comments left on your youtube.

Their was this example related in a Watchtower magazine, encouraging JWs to do the same
w64 9/15 574 - Kneel down before reading the Watchtower
In contrast to the attitude of these elective elders was that of an elderly couple with whom I stayed on the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia. The brother went down to get the mail before breakfast, and when we had breakfast he said, "Brother Riemer, I got a new Watchtower this morning, and do you know the first thing that Ma and I do when we get that Tower? We kneel down before we take the wrapper off and ask Jehovah to make us worthy to see what the message is that Jehovah has for us. Now, before we take the wrapper off, will you kneel down and pray with us?" How different that elective elder was from this humble couple who appreciated Jehovah's organization! -

What if the nations would have submitted to God's Kingdom in 1914?
by processor inthough i have written this for the alternative daily text, it is quite serious.
jws complain that the nations refused to submit to god's kingdom in 1914. what if they had done this?.
the kings of the earth take their stand and high officials gather together as one against jehovah and against his anointed one.

I guess the org. would say that the Governments are ultimately controlled by Satan and he was unwilling to hand them over.

The rich and the WT
by Crazyguy ini was told by a friend that the wt sends out brothers to wine and dine rich jw's and then asks them to donate large amounts of money and land etc.
this person knows first hand as he said because he has a wealthy friend that this was done to.
anyone else have this experience or heard about this?

I would say the practice probably goes way back to Rutherford. He was personally gifted Beth Sarim by a rich brother. He wanted the record to say that he would not accept the gift unless he could then gift it to the WTBTS on his death.

This would be one of the best video's I've seen where there has been a call to the org. It really exposes their lies for all to see.

If you can easily take them down then you should do so, otherwise cover them. It is not appropriate for children to see these things.

The packages will arrive today... What do you think will happen?
by Faithful Witness ini have decided that ignoring my niece and nephew during the holidays, is the most unloving thing i could possibly do.
they stopped celebrating christmas and birthdays, after my sister began studying with jw's about 6-7 years ago.
we did not celebrate either, until 3 years ago, when my son was 2 and my daughter was 4, and we'd figured out that the jw's are wrong about this decision.

This is another weird thing with the jw's. Their not thanking you for the gifts may well indicate that they have been accepted and used/eaten. Their conscience does not allow them to thank you because then they would be seen as publicly accepting these gifts whereas if they keep quiet no-one knows what they've done with the presents. It's the type of twisted thinking that JWs find themselves involved with.
A really committed JW would be more likely to return the gifts with a thank you note and reminding you that they cannot accept the gift but they still appreciate your thoughtfullness.

One stupid guy came up with this wacko reasoning but for eight men to agree to this idea and then except 7 million people to obediently believe and teach this crap is beyond comprehension.
It could be that the holy spirit really is guiding them by making it more and more obvious with new teachings that this relision is just a bunch of men who are guessing and making things up.

I think my faith might be returning. Feeling very confused.
by jambon1 ini've been out the organisation for around 8 years.
when i first left, im positive that i suffered from some sort of post traumatic stress.
i was very angry at myself for accepting the really bad parts of the religion that i strongly disagreed with.

It was wonderful to read the New Testament with an open mind and it was surprising to feel a different understanding of the 'Good News". My appreciation for Jesus grew on a different level.
Reading Ray Franz's book "Crisis of Conscience' made me realize how unimportant religion is and that having a personal relationship with God is possible if not desireable without it. Other people get something different from his book and this is because he leaves it to the reader to draw what they want from his writings.
