Alpha Man said, "This cult has become so ridiculous that I wonder sometimes if all these new ideas from the crazy 8 is some kind of end game stragety their Legal Dept has devised in order to run off all the membership, then split the money up between the higher ups. Something like a corrupt religious Enron corporation."
I have wondered about this possibility also. They know they will take a membership plunge with the death of the older ones, who now are making up a large portion of the JW demographics in the U.S. Perhaps they want a smaller client base that can just disappear in history like the Millerites of the Great Dissappointment of 1844. Reports from active family still in is that apathy is a major problem.

I got this from a Jw friend, "It seems that there was never a ban on jw.org in China, and a brother in the Japanese branch who works in the factory said he had not heard about anyone going to China to fix their printing press. Looks like we were the victims of a hoax which our Japanese friend in New York had swallowed hook, line and sinker. Sorry about that." "Lots of love, Leon"

The Definition of Insanity: LOYALTY TO THE GOVERNING BODY
by Terry inthe definition of insanity boils down to expecting success by repeating actions which cause failure.. .
jehovah's witnesses are expected to prove their loyalty to the organization by believing and practicing what they are told.. does this lead to success or failure?.
ask the thousands of loyal believers who were led to expect armageddon in 1914, 1925, 1975!.

Please don't take the mick....but I got disfellowshipped for kneeing an elder in the nads
by outinthemeadows inan elder in my congregation got on my nerves because he kept putting his arm around me and i'd asked him to stop.
a few weeks later he did the same thing again so i used my knee against his micro-penis.
a judicial committee was formed even though i was being sexually harrassed by this octapus of an elder.

I have been dead set against their anti-education posturing my whole life. In 1994-95? there were several articles "What is the Bible's Viewpoint of Higher Education?" and I felt that they had at least retreated to position that I could agree upon, well somewhat. My firm position is that WTBTS should not have any position on Higher Education, as it is an individual decision. They should use their ink to encourage Godly qualities.
However, shortly after 2000 the WTBTS started their hateful rhetoric once again, and I'll have to say that is of the top 10 reasons I have left this religion and helped me to wake up. I've told my wife that I was not sitting idly by while WTBTS instructed our daughter to demonize education and instruct her to just be content serving as a second class citizen pioneering, content living below the poverty level, washing windows or cleaning offices at night just to serve the Great Eight. They are just full of it.
