Dear Jeff,
I was sorry to hear of your loss. It's hard to lose any parent, but your dad sounds like he must have been special. Again, sorry for your lose.
Love and best wishes to you and your family.

Illuminati and the Watchtower
by marriedtoajw innow i know this forum has already touched on this topic many times but i'm coming at this from a personal angle.
as i've said on this forum before, my wife is an active jw and has been getting more and more active while trying to indoctrinate my 21 year old son, who still lives at home and is not working but is going to a community college.
my wife takes him and my 7 years old daughter to some meetings and conventions.

With all the crazy things Jehovah's Witnesses teach, I strongly recommend you choose a more clear cut topic.
Try what was successful for me: comparing the blood issue with human sacrifice. Yes, by refusing blood transfusions for ourselves and our children, and teaching our children to refuse blood transfusions, it is human sacrifice.
Also show an interest in our Adventist origins. Show her how Russell was co editor of a second day adventist magazine called Herald of the Morning and quit just before starting his own magazine that basically taught most the same theology.
I could go on and on, but these topics I think would work very well on a woman.

Is the Watchtower Society Really God's Organization?
by wannabe inis the watchtower society really god's organization?.
the governing body of the watchtower society, makes the claim that they are god's, 'spirit directed organization', god's 'prophet, or mouthpiece'.
one would suppose that an organization that claims to know all the truths of the bible, would know that the coming prophet like moses, who was appointed over jehovah's house in the days of the israelite nation, would also know, that the coming prophet like moses, would be the one appointed over god's house when he arrived on the scene, when the due time arrived for the new covenant to go into force.

Obviously, they are not God's organization. There is zero indication that they are what they claim to be.

Welcome to the forum. Go to the home page and look at "best of topics," scandals, etc. If you haven't already, look at the websites:
You will find a lot of cool stuff on these cites. There are of course many, many other really good sites. Youtube has some terrific videos.

Oh boy, are you in trouble. I have been married to alcoholic bipolar men who abused drugs and I can tell you there is no happy ending to most of these romances. Get out now before you are in deeper doo doo.

My first own thread on here. Woken up and still in :(
by Gefangene ini have been around in this forum a lot but haven't written much yet.. also i had a more or less rude awakening when i realized that the religion i grew up with, the religion i sacrificed a lot for and considered to be the 'truth' is nothing but mere bs.
it's quite a brick to digest.. my parents both are jws, elder and pioneer.
very good people but also very brainwashed.

The Governing Body - their own worst enemy!
by cedars ini've been giving some thought recently to what's going on in the minds of the individual governing body members, and what makes them tick.
the process of listening to their talks for my "getting to know you" youtube video series, though draining, has been very enlightening.
i now feel i know some of their individual personalities a little better than i did previously.. then there has been the tumultuous events of 2012. it's been interesting to note the way the governing body has responded to some of these issues, and how in most cases their responses have been woefully inadequate or even counter-productive as regards their long-term interests.. for example:.
