i know a number of people who would definitely lend me old watchtower publications (booklets, books, etc).. is there a need for any scanned publications?

does anyone know when publications can become public domain?.

friends

i think it was for me.. i knew a lot of the history of the bible students, russell, rutherford and the "old light".

.

once i could see all of the overwhelming evidence right in front of my eyes, there was no ignoring the reality..

A big part. The ability to research things so easily, is invaluable for sure.

should there be a national coming out day for JWs leaving the borg?

by zengalileo in

i got the idea from what harvey milk did for the gay movement.

i am tired of hearing these stories about people staying jws while scared to admit they don't believe in it anymore.

if you saw the movie milk, then you know the argument.

Yeahhhhh! the 14th is just fine. ONLY THING IS, I'M AFRAID AT THIS POINT AND HAVE A LOT TO LOSE! Sizemik said it all.

As bad as it is...this is the game I must play until I announce otherwise. Thank you all so much for being there.

Catching the Manipulation in Sundays Watchtower Article

by Butterflyleia85 in

inspired by many on jwn board, my goal is to every sunday study the article and find the manipulative parts.

if you would like to join me that would be great!

we can then find them together and then find what the scriptures or insights truly means with research, our own understanding, or maybe how it should be interpreted to ones self.

Sadly,

The view by them is that the rest of the world are modern Egyptians only there to support unknowingly the divinely guided work of the organization and that the Organization can make use of their "spoils" just as the Isrealites walked out of Egypt with worldly goods. But not personally.
