SIMON - about half of my OP spontaneously disappeared in the last 15 minutes and I had to re-cut and paste it back in. What the heck is going on? -

Anyway I composed an email to the director and assistant director of the department which allows vendors, students and other organizations to have "table time" at the University student centers.
I've always appreciated your feedback on matters, so have a look at the letter and tell me what you think before I send it:
Jehovah's Witness table at ******* Student Center
Dear ******,I am currently a non-traditional (I'm 45) full-time student at ***** here in *******. When I graduated high school about 27 years ago, I unfortunately made the decision not to go to college. Why? Being raised as a Jehovah's Witness, I was repeatedly warned by church leaders and church-produced literature that college was an "extremely dangerous" place for young Witnesses, and that my "everlasting salvation" would be imperiled should I decide to go to college. So instead of pursuing higher education after high school, I became a "pioneer," essentially a full-time recruiter for Jehovah's Witnesses.
About five years ago, however, I "awakened" to the fact that I had been raised in a cult, and that I needed to get an education and get on with my life. So here I am at ***** pursuing that goal.
In light of my background, I hope you can imagine my dismay upon seeing Jehovah's Witness recruiters set up at a table at the ******** Student Center on Tuesday, February 17. My honest belief is that the purpose of this activity is not to educate interested ones in the Bible, but to target young people who have not yet honed their critical thinking skills for recruitment into their high-control organization.
I implore you to view this program just released in January 2015 by Jehovah's Witnesses on their "TV" website. It reveals their stance against higher education and is presented by Jehovahs Witnesses Governing Body member Anthony Morris III:

Further information about Jehovah's Witnesses' anti-college stance can be found here:

As I assume it is ultimately your decision as to what groups may or may not set up tables at ***** student centers, I wanted you to be aware of the true nature of this particular group so as to make an informed choice.
Best,*****
PS: as I have not formally withdrawn my membership from this organization for fear of losing all of my family and friends, I am not using my name or school email address for anonymity's sake. Feel free to email me back if you have any questions. -

Tower of Babel—unlikely to be a true account!
by abiather inwhen his children want to construct a tower that reaches to the heavens, heavenly father is unlikely to respond, saying: nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.
(gen 11:6, 7).

The variety of languages on earth has as much to do with the Tower of Babel as thunderstorms have to do with Zeus getting angry. -

Are the trolley dollies* getting any results? Or, is it just another waste of life?
by fulltimestudent insteve2 initiated a discussion on how our former loving brothers and sisters are behaving, while engaging in the 'trolley work.
' (link: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/93590001/within-one-minute-jw-trolley-directs-me-jw-org ).
my own observations are the same as the posters report on steve2's thread.

I know folks who have been involved in this nonsense since its inception as the "Manhattan Project."
All I have ever heard is that:
a) they place a lot of magazines/tracts
b) other religious nutjobs come up and try to convert them (this is in NYC, BTW)
c) people who are "evidently" apostates occasionally approach and bring up "controversial" topics or call them a cult. They just try to ignore it.
What I have never heard is:
a) we started a bunch of bible studies doing this
b) so-and-so came into the "truth" by table/cart witnessing
My thoughts: this has nothing to do with increasing membership by reaching more people. I think it has more to do with the mind control aspect of this thing.
In regular FS, you aren't always "on": you ride out to the territory with friends, chat, go for coffee, etc. Only when you knock on the door are you in full JW mode.
With cart witnessing, you still get to chat with your buddies, but 100% of the time you are standing there you are in full JW mode - you don't get a break by walking down the block a bit or getting in your car. You are ON 100% of the time. I think that has a HUGE influence on how people view themselves. In other words, It's all part of the brainwashing crap.
