  I've seen bands playing live music at international conventions, musicals, dancing with the JW literature cart. JW's dressed in big cardboard cut outs displaying wt literature while dancing/singing. Little children acting out inappropriate bible stories (like the Delilah story). While it sounds fun and entertaining, it seems they are getting desperate with some of their ridiculous antics.

  @Joe134cd I will be looking up the phone waving thing, sounds more like what people do at a 'worldly concert'.

  this young fool (who is probably a born-in ) is no older than 35 years of age.

  i started attending meetings before he was even born.

  little does he know that you and i and millions of others have listened to this same themed talk, ''what's the kingdom doing for us now,'' in 1972. .

  It would be neat if there was a video or audio of that talk in 1972. Then compare them side by side. You're right-as a born in I had no idea about all the regurgitation and failed predictions, 1914, 1925, 1975 until I left. (Im also in my mid 30's).

  Thank you so much for this document. I'm also preparing for a conversation with an old friend who is disfellowshipped, but is having doubts about returning.

  Yes my own husband. To my parents.

  It didn't work though. It was His word against mine.

  Applied kinesiology, otherwise known as muscle testing, is a pseudo-scientific alternative medicinal practice where practitioners diagnose and treat their clients based on testing muscles for strength and weaknes

  I dont know why the font is so big. Anyway, I know several practitioners of this kind that are uber jws, special pioneers, regular pioneers, etc. They claim they can see what is wrong with you by asking your body "electrically". One of them says she can see what is wrong with people just walking down the street, almost like x-ray vision. They have many clients who swear they are cured or healed from their illnesses. They even 'heal' people who are affected by demons/evil spirits by making them put their hands on trees/branches and repeating a small chant, or sitting on grass. They even did this to ex-missionaries who were serving on a small island where 90% of the population practiced witchcraft! Has anyone else heard of uber Jws doing this? I saw it myself firsthand and found it strange but fascinating that everyone around believed it worked!

  Another book, that I just CANNOT put down!!!

  yesterday i just received from amazon.com is a book entitled ''awakening jehovah's witness'' by diane wilson.. just an amazing testimony.

  her heart-wrenching testimony of what she went through in giving child-birth the second time, in regards' to jw standards(man-made laws) only to have the borg to a total 180 spin the (man-made) standards about a decade after the fact.

  just deplorable, appalling for a lack of better words.. a great book, it's a moving book.

  i sneakily read his books at work.

  it was written in such a way that no one could accuse him of being another bitter old apostate.. once it registered in my brain, especially after reading the second book, i knew i had to get out!.

  Yes, he helped confirm my doubts. Does anyone one here know someone who has read COC and remained a faithful witness?

  @Jan, I wrote to them (IBSA) once asking the same questions. All I got back was that they are not connected in any way, and the Jehovah's witnesses in the UK continue to use the IBSA name for legal purposes only.
