Hi First Post Here
by Distracted injust wanted to break the ice and write my first post here and also talk about some things that are bothering me.
i don't go to meetings anymore and i have become inactive for years now.
i don't believe the witnesses have the truth more than any other organized religion.

Revised NWT...cross references...Has anyone noticed....?
by 4thgen injust let me say, i hate the gray bible.
when i read the revision of mal 3:10 and they included tithing, i almost vomited.
recently though, my invalid mother asked me to read to her and the only thing available was the gray bible.

I dont like what they have done with the references in the new Bible either.
For instance in Heb. 10:25 their used to be 4 references in the old red JW Bible.
Now there are (if I remember correctly) two.
One of the ones that got removed was from Matt.18:20 where Jesus said "Where two or more are gathered in my name..."
its pretty obvious that they want to discourage anyone from thinking they can do their own meeting or studying apart from the meetings organized through them.

by Brokeback Watchtower inas with any course which is based on pure wishful thinking(which is the wt corporation based on) has different stages.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wishful_thinking.
some psychologists believe that positive thinking is able to positively influence behavior and so bring about better results.
this is called "pygmalion effect".

A Never-Was JW's Response
by Joe Grundy ini never was a jw.. my traditional response to jws calling at the door was to raise 'the issues' - standard stuff.
they don't come so often now.. when the arc was going out live, i watched most of the broadcasts.
i was struck by just how poorly the head honchos performed.

Internet exposure has not been good for the JWs.
The monthly Governing Body broadcasts are lame and the leaders come across as phony.
The ARC hearings were just as bad - perhaps worse since the monthly broadcasts are heavily edited and scripted.
The days when the leaders expressed themselves in print only were better for them but the world moved on and they are trying - its just not coming across well for them.

What kind of poster are you?
by DogGone ina while ago someone posted a link to the flame warrior guide, it seeks to define some different types of posters.
http://www.flamewarriorsguide.com/.
i thought it might be fun and lighten the current mood to reveal which "warrior" is closest to your style, in your opinion.

I wonder if Simon and Vivianne are one and the same person?
There is a greater chance that the JWs have the truth - or that it is going to rain hundred dollar bills,
Honestly, cant you see the intellect behind Simons posts even when you dont agree with him? Its easy to see.
I know you are very with it also One Finger Salute from the comments you levy at the Watchtower studies. Maybe you are kidding around? If so, I apologize for being dense. Im not in the social loop much.
