Why do JWs feel compelled to attribute all kind gestures to their religious training and not to their own kind nature? Of course JWs must be humble and can't take some merit for themselves. I have witnessed many selfless interventions and never did I hear the person say it was because he's Jewish or Catholic. Can't it just be that they are kind?

They are going to elaborate on the new World Headquarters to create a buzz and generate excitement with the goal to increase donations for the project...they will use the example of faithful Israel who provided more than enough to build Jehovah's house.

My mom and JW family never called me when I was an active JW and a MS...so nothing has changed when I became inactive. I'm always the one trying to keep in touch. Their excuse is that they are very busy with the truth but they bitch when they don't hear from me for a long time.

JW.org FAQ - a new video on "Are Only Jehovah's Witnesses going to be saved?"
by RayPublisher injw.org faq trickery #1 - are only jehovah's witnesses going to be saved?.
from the description:.
if you have been associated for any length of time with the jehovah's witnesses you know that they believe they are the only true religion and the only ones that will be saved before the war of armageddon.

When the above question is asked it really means will JWs be the only ones saved at Armageddon...but they avoid answering this question. Instead they divert attention to the salvation through resurrection of "unrightous" ones who obviously aren't JW...all good lawyers use this method to avoid answering embarrassing questions.
Edit: I hadn't read St George's comment...glad to see we're on the same page!

I remember how a Co said that there is something wrong with a marriage when the husband doesn't pray with is wife at bedtime...I felt guilty for not praying out loud before going to sleep especially when my wife expected me to after his comments...the CO said he and his wife would kneel down at the foot of their bed every night and he prayed for her...For me I rarely felt like praying even when I was fully indoctrinated.

Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?
by minimus ini would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .
and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

Awakened at Gilead AKA Ex Gilead Missionary videos were an eye opener. JW Facts' use of WT publications to expose the false teachings of the JW cult was instrumental. When I started doing research on the Internet I saw apostate sites that fitted perfectly the WT description and it almost turned me away from doing more research. Then I found JW Facts...I also concentrated on verifying how the WT misquoted secular sources to support their claims. All this started while doing research on earthquakes while preparing for a public talk...

Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT false prophets
by SloppyJoe intonight on the service meeting we discussed why jws are not false prophets.
of the ten minute part two were spent discussing that jws just had wrong expectations and only very minor changes over the years although nothing specific was mentioned.
the other eight focused on the core bible truths that have remained the same over the years.

Thanks for all the references. Didn't the Awake masthead say that the 1914 generation wouldn't pass before the end of wickedness arrives...not ours but God's promise...?
