i read on another thread how this site has helped another user and that for them it has been a form of therapy.. for me yes, jwn has most certainly been a form of therapy.. i recall the days i first came to jwn (in 2004) and couldn't believe i had found people who were of the same opinion as myself in regards to the society.
it was this site that led me to reading ray franz's book 'crisis of conscience' which i read twice within a week.
it also led me to jw facts that goes into every nook and cranny regarding the society's teachings, policies and history.. note: i also visit many other sites and watch you tube videos a lot, but gravitate here most of the time.. coming here to express my inner most thoughts and feelings has helped me no end and allows me to overcome my frustrations.
Yes this site is my therapy. I visit every day even just to catch up on what we're discussing or whats come out in WT-land.
Has anybody read Captives Of A Concept? It's another JW expose. I read it one sitting last night. If you ever needed 100% proof of their beliefs being false using only their literature you have to read it.

some things of note here, it looks to me that they're encouraging young ones to befriend older people and "people not like them".
could this be because many of the young ones are now leaving?.

Secondly, the worksheet encourages young ones to befriend people from different backgrounds. How hypocritical that they wont allow them to make real friends with kids in school from other religions/beliefs. There are perfectly decent people outside Watchtower that are not bad association.

Each overseer who has access to these outlines and other materials are given unique passwords which is different from his convention domain password. These passwords are shared through a letter sent to the Convention Committe Co-ordinator. Usually, the Audio-Video Overseer will share his password with a volunteer/key-man with whom he is working so as to print the talk outlines and use it during the video and demonstrations rehearsals before the convention
The branch can easily come to know which overseer has been assigned with this password which can land him in unnecessary trouble and pain.
So much secrecy. It's almost as if they Watchtower Society is a cult that likes to keep most of their members in the dark. <insert sarcasm here>
i saw this recent account on youtube recently and wondered if anyone had any good spook stories?
haunted books?
ouija boards?
My family are very superstitious in this regard. Demons like to live in 2nd hand shirts and yard sale vases etc. They put normal everyday things down to demons such:
As a light bulb going off on its own (they dont last forever you know).
One room on the house being colder than the others.
Being pinned to the bed at night (this one is more popular, it's simply a cases of Sleep Paralysis, a normal medical occurrence).
I used to believe all that too until i read Derren Brown's Tricks Of The Mind. I've never actually seen a demon. So i decided to stop believing them until i actually saw for myself something happen. So far nothing has. And i currently have a copy of the Satanic Bible, two Hindu idols and a Kali Yantra on my door. So there's 4 really strong "invitations" for demons to come and have a play at my house. So far they dont want to.
what is the rarest jb book ever printed?
i just bought a copy of the finished mystery and it can be a bit rare.
but i bet there are others much more rare.
Does the KH still have a library where you can borrow books ? if so what is the earliest book you have access to ?
Just curious.
My old KH has a copy of one of Russells books, cant remember which one it was. I dont think anyone has ever read any of them though.

Brother who leaked this will have a part in convention program, on spanish convention in US. Talks appointed to him:
No1 - introduction
No28 - baptism talk
Why did he revealed this personal info?
I dont think he has, probably one of his family members or an ex-elder with the password has leaked it under his name.
due to last years success, i will post everything related to the 2017 regional convention in this thread.. to start us off.... thanks to exjw reddit user ich3b we have advance notice of the theme (this is not a joke!).
the theme for the 2017 regional convention is: "don’t give up!” .
as always, if you have access to confidential materials you would like to leak but need to protect your identity, pm me or email me: wifibandit1 (at) gmail.
Chapter 32 of the book Learn from the Grand Master uses words that children can easily understand.
For example, it says: "These parts of your body are intimate. [...] Do not let anyone play with your sexual organs. "
Seriously? That's the wording you're going to use when teaching a little kids?

And lets not forget, this is only being put out because there was a problem that the "worldly" courts highlighted and made them deal with. The rank and file will think it was the GB's idea.
maybe it was my mood, but last night the meeting seemed really over the top cultish.. mainly the latter portion that just focused on presentation videos which always seem creepy to me anyway.. then the local needs was pre-empted by a video all about ldc which seemed completely pointless.
(on a side note my wife knew a couple of different people in it).
the congregation "bible" study which dealt with the ever changing cover of the watchtower magazine.
When i was in they were just starting to push the video presentations on the door. I never did video presentations myself on the ministry. It was bad enough offering mags that nobody wanted.
As for the songs. I do think some of them are quite catchy, but i hate the stupid reverse word order they use to make things rhyme. Pity they didnt enlist the services of Prince in the bethel writing dept. Could've had some bass and high pitched falsetto.
in this article on newsweek:.
http://www.newsweek.com/jehovahs-witnesses-ban-russia-catholic-593082.
catholics are concerned about their religion being discriminated as well in russia.
I wonder if the GB will acknowledge the Catholic church's support?
Nah!!
