Wow, thanks to all of you. Very good and clear points. I'm kinda shocked by that quote from the WT, hipocrisy indeed.

In my mind, while reading the GB letter, I was trying to disprove them, their whole reasoning and point. I must say I'm dissapointed by myself as I realized I couldn't reason against them.
What could I say if I presented the facts about WTS's UN membership to a jw, and he'd in the same way the GB responded to Brant?
How would you respond to their letter?

Noah the Film!!
by BU2B ini just noticed that the movie noah has been officially rated pg-13 in the us.
now all of the jws who were waiting anxiously to see if they could go see it will flock to see the movie.
i have heard a couple jws say "i hope it isnt rated r so i can go see it".

Guess what Wasanelder, I'm excited too. If a movie is based on a book, I prefer it to stay as much close to the original story as it can. I never got why would screenwriters depict the ark the way they did, whereas the Bible describes quite in detail its shape and size etc.
I'll watch this movie not only because as a child I enjoyed the story of Noah but because I'm big fan of Russsel Crowe.

Mr. Pierce...Mr. Pierce...Mr. Pierce... Mr. Guy Pierce
by confusedandalone ina few minuites ago talking to my sister who is finally seeing the watchtower for what it is and is scrutinizing it alot brought something to myu attention that troubled my longtime jw mother dearly.
she said after reading the article about the death of guy pierce she noticed that they never refered to him as brother pirce.
she said everytime they mentioned his name they refered to him as mr. pierce.. .

I too noticed this thing. I feel like need to vomit when I remember that I used to look up to those men as if they were rockstars.
I might open up a champagne to celebrate his "retirement"

How Were You Affected by All The Rules & Regulations From The Watchtower Society?
by minimus inthere are so many directives for elders, pioneers, ministerial servants and "publishers", it is mind boggling!!!.
to fulfill all of their expectaions, you would have to be perfect!.
i must say, that i really don't know how some do it, every day, ever week....i wonder how long some of the elders that frequent this board will still push the flock like the watchtower says they must..

I can see how it affects my parents. Dad is literally in zombie mode: his life mainly consists of working, eating and keeping up with the wts standards for an ms. WHILE my step mother under the excuse of pioneering doesn't go to work, has time to play on his galaxy s (!), watches tv all the time and complains about the lack of money.
I literally have no non-jw relatives and I probably will never get out.
We didn't have internet until recently when there was a talk at the meeting about how we should keep up with technology and use the new jw.org site.

Now I'll be like OMG for the next few days. This is some interesting news especially because it's quite rare to find the "Jehovahs Witnesses" expression in a movie description on imdb.com

One of the big reasons I left the JW Cult
by Still Totally ADD inhe would love to see you.

NVR2L8, I knew someone would start explaining that. I just didn't bother editing my post afterward because I thought my point was clear enaugh with or without the word "conditional". Love, hypocrisy, respect, I don't care about their motives. What I know is that according to the story being discussed jws there are not practising the same religion as jws here.
My opinion is that love doesn't exist. But that is off topic.

Lol, I just discovered the "options" under the welcome text. I haven't noticed until now. Why isn't that set as default? Anyway, I can still help around if needed.

Less emoticons and more consecutive letters in a meaningful order, maybe?
