Dogpatch - And they suggest contributing $50 to $100 for one stinking cd-rom. And boy does it stink.
Wow, that's unbelievable. Pure cheek asking people to donate that kinda cash for a disc that costs pennies and production done for free. Makes me sick.

Question for Dogpatch (Randy): What will it cost to produce the new 16-page Watchtower & Awake?
by Alfred inwhen literature used to be sold d2d, i remember how the society never missed an opportunity to trash other religions for "peddling god's word for profit" while boasting about how the watchtower only charges for the cost of the paper and ink.. in the book "witnesses of jehovah", the author mentioned that randall watters used to be involved in print cost analysis and determined that, while we were selling wt & awake mags for 20 cents door-to-door, it was really only costing the society 4 cents per copy to produce.
that's a whopping 400% profit!.
obviously, things have changed... the paper is different, as well as the ink and printing methods in general.

Emblem stupidity, and the bizarre dance of the confused memorial-taker
by cedars inwell, i went along to the memorial with mrs cedars.
it was my first since my "awakening" just less than a year ago.
apparently i made a lot of people happy by being there (even if it was only building up false hopes), the most important of which were my family.

The germ of life was implanted in the blood-stream!
by Atlantis injehovah's witnesses have read their awake!
magazines, and i am quite sure many have viewed some consolations and even a golden age or two.
i wonder though, just how many have viewed the broadcaster magazine?**.

revelation 14:5
by independenthinker inso im at the memorial talk, this year though im reading above and below all scriptures.
anyway the speaker uses revelation 14, and i find a new scripture ive never seen used before by the brothers.
they always use v1-4, referring to the anointed.

I've found that it doesn't matter what scripture you use, JW start off thinking (or in their minds, knowing) that they are right regardless of evidence and that the GB can do no wrong, even if, god forbid, they get something wrong, the average JW think the GB have the right intentions and are directed by god, no evidence in the world can combat that thinking, sadly.
Ive done loads of obsessing about it myself at one point so I now where you're coming from.

If there was a John who wrote that he may well have been on drugs, go out and kick a ball around or go to the pictures with your gf and forget about anointed and bollocks like that.

If you are a minor then you must be 15 or under, it's not really something a 15 year should have on their mind. When I was 15 any girl I was going out with was amazing as well, but take it from me, and others here, you'll be doing her a favour by never inviting her to the hall. The fact that your parents are allowing you to go out with her, as a minor, tells me they are aren't hard core, and the fact that you are doing it shows you aren't hard core so why you'd want to take her is beyond me.
Enjoy your youth but don't ruin hers by introducing her to a cult.

Leavingwt, I keep meaning to get a hold of it, just haven't got around to it yet. Started reading the god delusion and enjoying that, god is not great was fantastic though.

Why are you going and why does your lady want to go? Are you planning on becoming a JW or are you already one? Does she want to become one?
When I was a JW no one ever had a good word to say about witnesses who only came once a year and no one saw the point of them doing it. What are you hoping to get out of it by going?

Leavingwt, I'd never heard that term before, love bombed, but it describes perfectly what can happen on memorial night.
I considered going to the memorial last year but a lot has happened in a year, I'm no longer living in terror because of the false teaching of the WTBS and see absolutely no good reason to ever set foot in a kingdom hall again.
