Thank you all and of course Paul from jwfacts himself for helping me with that. I will check Jonsson's book online, their are a lot of articles and excerpts from him, I used his 607vs587bce stuff already before. I'm using this kind of information during my current fade/inactivity to throw some bait here and there and to resist the myth that our days are the worst of mankind. I wouldn't be happy if "they" from their ignorant JW side, could accuse me of misquotations either.

How many killed by the 5 Cholera pandemics during the 1800's?
by redpilltwice inyou all know jwfacts (run by paul grundy).
on this website, under “did the last days start 1914” ---> “pestilence”, it says:“during the 1800's five cholera pandemics killed around 100 million people.” .
there is no link to any source of info, so i emailed paul and asked where i can verify that total number?

A great suggestion from a current Bethelite on the chopping block
by Gilbeath Haaraloth ina very close friend of mine has gotten his letter.
although he was planning to leave willingly, he told me that he can't help but feel a sense of being stabbed in the back by a bunch of self righteous traitors.
he gave tours for years, always telling the visitors "this is the best way of life, i would never change anything here and i'll never regret making this decision to come here.

Thank you for sharing this Gilbeath. I live in Holland, but I can feel the anger over here!
Just like the WashTower's cleaned up version of their own history, the R&F witnesses never get to see the inner workings of Bethel a place filled with nepotism, politics and lots of homosexual activity.
...he has a plan to help wake up the sheep in large numbers
I don't know his plan, but I hope he writes a book. Could you ask him to do that or something like that, or share his experiences here with us? Never mind if he doesn't, I'm just a nobody, but like Raymond Franz, insiders know best.

There is no link to any source of info, so I emailed Paul and asked where I can verify that total number? I can't get any higher than tens of million using wiki, but I probably overlooked something somewhere
I got an auto-reply. It partly said: "As much as I wish to respond personally to each message, I am unable to keep up with the volume of emails, and in particular some of the enquiries that require detailed responses."
So anyone...can you please help me to verify this?

Heavy metal
by Godsendconspirator ini have always loved heavy metal music (thrash metal to be more specific).
since heavy metal is usually associated with satan and occult themes many christians and jws in particular stray away from it.
in my teenagehood i was listened to it obsessively until i started studying and got baptized at age 18 and i started listening to other genres.

Before the "truth" I loved it all, the louder/the faster, the better (speed/thrash/black/death metal). Saw metallica and Slayer for the first time on their second tour (Ride the Lightning/hell Awaits). Threw away a lot of rare vinyl after my bible study (Hellhammer, Mercyful Fate, Bathory) Now back on track, planning to see Exodus in March on their European tour!

...and then the studying horses had a few questions regarding Joshua 11:6 and Joshua 11:9
At this Jehovah said to Joshua: “Do not be afraid because of them, for about this time tomorrow, I am giving over all of them slain to Israel. Their horses you must hamstring, and their chariots you must burn in the fire.”
Joshua then did to them just as Jehovah had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots in the fire.
...after some time, the horses made little progress, so the study was discontinued. -

1) Will the GB listen to the ARC?
2) Are you sure you are one of the annointed? You were baptized in '75 and the numbers are supposed to drop!
3) Why build new headquarters while the end is so near?
4) How long is a generation according to Matthew 1:17? Do the math!

DA: Today I used my typewriter and fountain pen
by Mandrake inlast week my mother (i live with her) gave me some clues that she finally awoke, and well, that came to be true and we now speak openly against many many things i considered taboo to talk to her.
so with that achieved, it was time for a delayed duty, i took my typewriter one wrote my da letter, and signed it with my favorite fountain pen, with my "trade mark" royal blue ink (everyone in the hall knew me for using that color and type of pen).
i will hand it to the elders tomorrow, in february 14th, the "day of love".

How would you feel if this happened to you?
by Island Man inimagine you're a mentally out, physically in, awake jw who still attend meetings and occasionally do a little door-to-door perfunctory service just to please the still-in spouse and keep the elders off your back while you slowly and subtly try to free your spouse of the cult.
you're also a vociferous online critic of the jw organization and its harmful policies and false teachings.
one day while out doing your occasional perfunctory door-to-door service with a still-in jw, you knock on a door and the householder comes out and says:.
