Thoughts and Opinions on the VAA?
by arko_n9ne inas i've posted multiple times before, i am new to many of the aspects of wts scandals so a couple weeks ago, i was on youtube and heard of a group concept from tim kilgore called the vaa (vast apostate army).. personally, i like the concept of former witnesses and anti-watchtower proponents uniting to stand against the wrong doings of the organization.
i would like their rally in a few years to succeed.
if things look promising enough, i more than likely will go.. but honestly, i don't know much about the vaa, and since it's not a concept with that "new car smell" i imagine people have more infor to offer.. i saw on older posts that witnesses are not fans of the idea of anyone banding together en masse against them, as they go to the lengths of calling the vaa a terrorist organization (though no acts of violence or tyranny have been committed or threatened).. so if anyone can offer insight into this group, it would help a man know if it's a group worth rallying with.. .

Acts 17, where's the organization, guys?!
by arko_n9ne ini was listening to the radio today.
kdkr dallas.
they were playing a q&a with ravi zacharias and he pointed out a passage in acts 17 that i was unfamiliar with, but it rung some bells in my head.. acts 17:24,25 (nwt): "the god that made the world and all the things in it, being, as this one is, lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade temples,neither is he attended to by human hands as if he needed anything, because he himself gives to all [persons] life and breath and all things.".

Getting Ready to Go To War
by arko_n9ne inthis whole thing of jehovah's witnesses--it's not my war.
but that doesn't mean a soldier doesn't have a part in it.. i live with my wife and her two brothers (for those who need the refresher course in arkonomics) and the brothers, being witnesses, tend to be real p's in my a. you ever been talked down to by a star trek geek?
he gets all smug because he can speak klingon and "relate" negative star trek events to you?

My JW Brother-in-Law's Crisis of Conscience
by arko_n9ne inme and my brother in law share a computer at home.
we have different accounts and for the life of me, i still don't know his password.. but it hasn't stopped me from putting "apostate" literature on his desktop screen.
i am an amateur it geek who knows the ins and outs of computers, so i don't look twice at things like passwords.. anyway, a few months ago, i slipped three files onto his desktop.

Does Jehovah Still Call Black People the "No-No" Word?
by arko_n9ne ini feel the title is an attention-grabber, but in no means am i looking to start racial tension on jwn.. i know in the past, at least to the 50's from what i've read, the watchtower society has been very demeaning toward people of a less alabaster pigment.
in one instance saying white people were superior and god blessed them that way for good reason.. however, i have not been able to find an official statement from them in any of their printed works that either clears up or apologizes and further corrects that bold standing.. so, to those much wiser than me, is there an official statement from the watchtower identifying people of different race as equal?
and if not, to the ex/current brothers and sisters who are of an "ethnic" background, what are your feelings on the society's derrogatory statements being left unchanged 60-100 years later?.

Another Point Against Disfellowshipping (Even the WT can't deny)
by arko_n9ne ini have been shifting some ideas around and the threat of disfellowshipping may actually help me in this instance.
if you've read my other posts, you know why it is i'm on here.
and you know that i am adamant.. but in the research of disfellowship, i've tried thinking of good, alternate arguments or points of reasoning before pressing the red button.

Organization/Congregation
by arko_n9ne inin this new-fangled age of the internets (yes, plural), it is going to be easier for active witnesses to understand that there is no scriptural basis for the creation and abusively excessive use of organization in comprehension of bible truth.. .
i'm going to be the apostate prophet here and say that it's only a matter of time before they make a drastic change to suit their purpose in either "congregation as it turns out, really translates to organization" and a 2014 revision of the nwt comes out littered with organization in place of congregation.
or the "pure language" forbids any publisher from calling the wts "the organization" and commands that it be called "the congregation" and only that.. my task to anyone with the know-how:.

Searching For an Elder's Manual (with margin scribble)
by arko_n9ne inevery day i am on here, i learn new things.
a little while back, there was a post about the existense of elder manuals with km required notes in the margin area that gave away a little more than the gb wanted.. how do i get my hands on a copy of that?
i know it's difficult to obtain pay attention (with margin scribble) and it's all the more difficult to obtain a copy of shepherd the flock of god (with margin scribble) since it is relatively newer.. if anyone could help me find a copy, be it hardcopy or pdf, i would give my left cheek.

One at a Time
by arko_n9ne ini live with my wife and her two brothers.
her two brothers are witnesses, though one seems to have "faded" but denies it whole-heartedly.
regardless of position, they stick to their guns, well, the wts's guns, about everything.. unless you've read my other posts, you wont know their names, so i'll refer to them as 28 and 31, for the sake of time.. to understand my passion, you need to understand the audacity of my experience with these two.. a lil bit about me-.
