I appreciate the gentle, and humble approach he takes. So many people who have left would scare the shit out of most Jehovah's Witnesses I know. I have pretty thick skin, so I think I was able to overlook a lot of the emotional posts/videos out there. All the videos seem reasonable, and appealing.
Good Job seattleniceguy, and thanks for posting them lwt!

Yeah, not to derail the topic, but that brochure is such a joke. I have never in my life met a person in the ministry who is illiterate. (Not that they don't exist, just not in the territory that most JWs preach - not really a Convention-Worthy release if you ask me. It should have just been shoved into some long letter read during the announcements next to this-month's-foreign-language-edition-of-The Bible Teach Book).

@Blondie, you could say that they weren't NECESSARILY making that comparrison.
However, the comments that were made by the Servant conducting the discussion, and the audience, left no question that they felt The Study Edition was comparable to A Letter From Paul.
I was listening in tonight just for shits and giggles.

Good question, serenitynow!, I was watching a YouTube video during that part. I can't imagine atheists were labled worse off by the sister who was the student-speaker tonight.

Governing Body Worship
by dontplaceliterature ini was recently invited to join some friends for a meal.
they had a family member visiting from out-of-town who was older, and knows personally a few of the governing body members.
this individual went on about how wonderful those men are, and how happy they are to be led by the gb.. it was mentioned how telling it was that they have not been filling empty spots on the governing body, and how that the men now serving on that body were "just like us" - that one of them had been divorced (i did not know this), one of them was a vet from 'nam (i think i had heard this), and that one of them had several children, etc.

It went on, and on, it seemed. I have never heard anyone speak so highly of those guys before. Rather than giving me a more favorable impression of them, it made me feel disgusted with how much a person could be star-struck with people who are supposed to be "slaves."
What is probably the more likely story, is that this person really doesn't know the Governing Body at all, and was hoping to gain some "I'm More Spiritual Than You Points" by claiming to be so in-the-know. It was really creepy.

Thanks, lwt, I was too lazy to highlight it. I'm drinking Shiraz and listening in to the meeting with my dog.

They probably believe they are going to write "The New Scrolls".
