Corpus Linguistics - Text Analysis of All Watchtower Publications since 1800's
by objectivetruth ini've been working on a side project for a while.
the goal of the project is to create a comprehensive database of all publications throughout history.
with this database i will be able to instantly find trends in text,sentiment of writing, methods used, and scriptures emphasized.. essentially i will be able to put a word like "apostate" into my tool, and instantly receive a report showing every time the word (or similar words) has been used in all publications since 1870.. i will also be able to create reports showing word density used in publications over time.. so i'll be able to see that the word "governing body" has increased in usage 25% year over year since 1975.. or i will be able to analyze the november 2014 wt and run an algorithm that helps to determine, what the tone and motive of the writing is.. the thing that i am most excited about is the ability to instantly find every occurence of a scripture in every publication.. this will be a great tool to find flip flops in doctrine as well as inaccuracies in biblical interpretation.. i will for sure publish all interesting findings here.. .

No Common Sense (About Convention)
by EmptyInside inwell,the guilt trip worked in getting them to the international convention,even though,for some,it put their health at great risk.. i'm glad that an elderly relative showed some common sense and realized she couldn't make the convention.
but,people still treated her oddly about not going.. one of her friends,who had a stroke in the past,thought about not attending,only to get screamed at by her so-called friends.
she did go,but it was hard on her.

I dont think this is going to be such a looming issue soon.
The assemblies will be streamed or on the JW Org site in the future - just like the Mormons!
Meanwile, I am sorry that so many people you care about were so inconvienced.

LDS.ORG OR JW.ORG LEADERS...
by ADJUSTMENTS inthe similarites between the mormons ( lds.org ) and jws ( jw.org ) are startling!!!.
here is another, both false religions have governing body's made up of predominantly white anglo men, but tout themselves as being worldwide united religions... where is the diversity???
both groups look like board members of any top fourtune 500 company.

They are similar in many ways.
Strange beliefs peculiar to them
The Anglo angle
One takes away your coffee but gives you holidays - the other denies you an education but you can booze and caffeinate!
They both think only they have it right.

Well the "star" isnt biting the hand that gave him his "stardom" I guess.
As has been said on so many threads in so many ways: they wouldnt be harping on this if it wasnt a problem!

The Reason Why JWs Won't Leave The Cult Is Because They Won't Think!
by minimus inthey simply refuse to think, to reason, to ponder.
they are lazy!.
even if they might feel that something isn't right, they won't research an issue or a question.

I have to be honest with you.
If I hadnt gotten body slammed with corruption that played out right in front of me through NO wish of my own?
I would have never thought to "look" and see all the things i see now.
I have a lot of admiration for those who woke themselves up. I had to suffer injury first.

JW's on a Saturday morning.
by donny intoday on my morning run i saw two sets of jw's going door to door on boston st. one set was two ladies and the other was two guys.
after i has passed them up on the sidewalk i turned around and began walking towards them.
the ladies turned to go up to another home just before i got to them but the guys were still approaching.

i hope they do!

Hey!
And the web site isnt really a person - just like the Holy Spirit!
It is the governing body's active force.
I seem to have heard this line of reasoning somewhere before.............

The Time Is Coming For Progressive Governments To Make Laws Against Oppressive Cults To Protect It's Citizens, Making Lawsuits More Plentiful Against Them
by frankiespeakin ini think as black&white thinking becomes lesser governments will start makeing laws that will put cults open for more lawsuits.

Its a two edged sword.
JWs would LOVE that however because it would feed what they think about the Great Trib. and the government turning on religion.

by smiddy inof course this is a hypothetical question , it will never happen .?
but what if it did , what do you think the society would be like if it did happen .?.

What is wrong with the Governing Body is a mindset. Not a set of genitals (IMO)

Remember when everyone was doing this with YHWH back in the late 70s and early 80s?
The Society eventually discouraged it and it died out.
They dont seem to be discouraging this one....
my how times have changed.
