from an email i received of a conversation had with people from patterson:.
it seems that the wts legal dept.
has been working with the fb [facebook] legal dept for about a year and also with youtube whoever they are, to enforce transparency.
There was an elder in my cong who went around sending invites to all the young ones on face book. So he could go through their friends list and do a special needs talk on how wicked it was that they didn't identify themselves as JWS. I know I was one of them.
If that is their strategy it will backfire bigtime, as you clearly identified. The fact that you are here suggest that the elder's activity did more harm than good.

Rumors say a lot, not in what they say, but in what they don't say. I think the society has every reason to be scared about the ubiquity of apostate information. Entering into cyberspace with jw.org shows that they understand the power of the internet, and if they understand they have to be scared sh*&less.
If there is any truth to these rumors, it appears to emanate from the paranoia of an organization that knows their time is limited.
today i was playing racquetball with a pioneer ( i have not attended the kh in seven years but i'm not df ) he's pretty cool and has no problem in .
associating with me at the gym and told me about the jw.org website and how so far more than a 1000 studies have been started due to the people going to that website.. is it true...did anyone hear the same or is it bullshit that i got?.
.
Perhaps world wide - if so that is a pretty lame number. In any event how many of these studies convert to baptized contributing publishers?
would that change your view on the account???
that's.
plausible.. .
Does this parrot wear an eye patch? I think this variation of parrot instead of snake would add a bit of humor to the episode. And, humor is a good thing.
If the parrot was part of the episode would that mean that parrots would lose their wings? Didn't the snake lose his/her legs in this transaction that changed human history?
heard from an inside source that there are 3 new songs coming to the songbook.

Yipee!
at the end of his final talk he said of the gb: they are telling the higher ups , "start getting ready we're not going to be around much longer!
" and we expect the angels to release the four winds any day now!
" my first thought was why are you building a corporate country club then?!
So, who is the king of the north? In any event, good advice. I plan on not buying any gree bananas.
i have a bunch of wt books for sale, including:.
divine plan of the ages.
finished mystery - includes the pages that got rutherford in jail!.
do you have this on eBay? If not, you should.
making up my mind on how to teach my son values in life seems to be an on going struggle of what is right and wrong.
being raised in a sheltered jw life until after leaving high school seems like going from one extreme to another of being over restrictive or under.
trying to find that balance.
I am not sure why society equates religion with ethics and morals. Ethics and morality are concepts that are separate from religion and are not tied with religion. Religious people can be moral and ethical, but so can non religious. The reverse applies.
So, I hope that I am teaching a moral and ethical framework for my child. I also hope she understands that you can be moral and ethical without being religioius.
jesus is a good example of this.

I don't give a flying rat's arse what you or anyone else thinks about me. I guess I am very spiritual.
To quote a line from Eminem, which is one I try to live by: "f*&ck the whole universe."

What every you think about rap, this is one of the inspirational lyrics ever.
i was wondering how many of you suffered badly with depression when you were in "the truth" and if you feel your depression was related to being part of the organisation?
are you better now you have left or still have issue's?
whatever your experience's i would be very intrested to know (if you feel you can talk about it.).
I suffered terrible depression, guilt and a few other negative emotions when I was a part of Jehovah's organization (what a wonderful god).
When I learned TTATT, I made a personal resolution to remove negative emotions from my life - it has worked, for the most part.
