it came to me to send my wife's bible study an anonymous e-mail with some info on jws, perhaps the pdf pamphlete on jwfacts, or now the lattest news articles from the independent/telegraph etc.

i feel it might make me a bit of a low-down.

on the other hand i'm really curious as to what the outcome could be.. should i?.

as most of us here are aware the wt society is using the " kool-aid " , or witness only version as i call it - to indoctrinate and intimidate jw members through fear and guilt to avoid anything that takes their devotion and attention away from allegiance to the wt society's ambitions.

so the wt society is amping up it's control methods once again in various articles in this issue as well.. first off - notice this quote from page 14 , paragraph 16 , regarding how " dangerous " allegedly the internet is.

it states, " these desires ( of the world ) involve such things as promiscuity, prominence , and possessions.

you also must be ready, because the son of man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

( luke 12:40. new international version).

so logically, if jws expect him soooooon, thats proof that he's not coming soon..
