  i haven't been to a meeting in 7 years but i have cruised through the parking lot of about 4 kh's now during peak meeting times and been surprised to see 20 or less cars in the parking lot.. it always seemed when i was younger that the parking lot was a lot more full..

  House of Judah - Former cult that used NWT

  "i would speculate (the house) to be the prophets.

  he was the dominant person, and he had the best, the biggest and the nicest, cain said while walking the property, which has since reverted to allegan county, records show.. one of the items cain found in the house: a new world translation of holy scriptures.

  it was ragged, crumbling to dust at the corners.".

  pretend you're a faithful witness and devils advocate these arguments for me to help fine tune them:.

  fallacy of perfection:.

  "there will be no more sickness and death in the new earth...".

  Does the WT have spies here?

  by logical1 in

  does bethel have spies here that are exempt from the "no looking at apostate material" in order to "protect" the org?

  i.e.

  their job is to view apostate material so they can find out who they can send copyright infringement claims to?.

  Old family friend won't go away

  by logical1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mom lives far away and still "holds vigilant" to her beliefs, but i hardly ever hear about her going to a meeting (always has an excuse).. her friend that lives near my uncles house (i am often at my uncles house visiting him) is always coming by making small talk with them to leave magazines.

  it's kind of hilarious because not only i, but the entire house now hides in the back when she pulls in the driveway.

  i told my uncle that even though it's the "easier way" he shouldn't accept the magazines, since thats an open invitation for her to come back.. i like to compare her to the crackhead that visists my house every so often.

  I submitted (this forum) to a directory

  by logical1 in

  2. friends

  i work with some people that started a forum directory site.

  it's in the process of growing (just barely launched this week) but they wanted me to help add to it, so i added jehovahs-witness.net to it.

  if you guys want (and i would probably suggest) you can go and vote for the site (or leave a review for it).

  I started a small blog with theories I have had over the years, would like input

  by logical1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not going to post the link here as i both want it to be completely anonymous (no connection to me on any other website) and i don't want to violate forum rules.

  they are theories i developed based on being raised as a jw and taking philosophy classes.

  please reply to this if you'd like to check it out and give me feedback and i will pm you the link.. thanks.

  How many double agents are there?

  by logical1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many are there on this board that are also still in the society, especially acting in a position of leadership?

  i think it's pretty funny they always talked about how "jehovah would root out the wickedness" yet theres people on here getting invites to "zone visits" that many other blind and faithful people weren't invited to.. .

  if any of you are on your way out and have the ability to give a talk before you go, you should cratifly morph a talk into discussion about the origins of the society, by the time its obvious what you're doing you will have given 100-150 people seeds of doubt before they yank you off the stage, and the fact that they would be physically escorting you off the stage when you were simply talking about the "founder" of the society should be alarming and suspicious enough to those watching.. .

  The easy way out

  by logical1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  background on me: mid 20's, raised as jw, never baptised.. .

  a month or so ago, some jw's were calling on my street, i missed them at my door, but they had parked in front of my house while they hit up the rest of my block.

  while they were at my neighbors door, i thought to myself "what is the easiest non-threatening simple message i could write on a piece of paper that would essentially give them "apostate" information, without them realizing what it was and shutting down?".
