As you can't prove a negative, you can't prove that they're not genuine. On the plus side they can't prove that they are either.

22How do you prove the watchtower organisation is not genuine using recent evidence?
by punkofnice inwhen i was a jobo, i would say that anything in jobo history, eg.
miracle wheat, beth sarim et al (old light), wasn't worth considering as evidence that the wbt$ was a weirdo cult.. i think that's probably the jobo mindset now.. what would you show them from very recent lies teachings to encourage them to consider the possibility the wbt$ is a scam?.

so let me get this straight.. the borg moves into their new corporate country club....
by nowwhat? inwith their luxurious lakeside condos.
takes all the congregations funds promising new kingdom halls.
but instead starts selling off kingdom halls ..then makes faithful old brothers and sisters drive 20-30 miles to another one, and .kicks out half the bethelites for only only tech savy college educated ones.can barely afford to send out printed publications anymore.

HELP needed from folks in UK, esp. in Scotland!
by WTS Archive intl;dr: if you live either in scotland or in other parts of uk and you don't mind traveling, you might be able to help a fellow ex-jw by being present during a courtcase where she alone has to face more than two dozens of jws who have ruined their business.
please contact me directly for details on when and where the court case will be held (i will know these details in few days probably).
ps.

Worship of Men and Emphasis on Titles
by HereIgo ini remember a few years back at a circuit assembly, a few bros were introducing themselves to the co, they made sure to mention that they were an ms or an elder from such and such cong.
i was also an ms, but was the only one that introduced themselves by just my first name.
i was so irritated and blown away at the arrogance by these bros, trying to impress men with titles!

If I was at a different congregation people used to ask what position I had in my congregation.
I used to take perverse pleasure in saying, 'Just a common publisher brother, just a common publisher'.

Christianity is far more evil than Islam. Just look at the numbers, the sheer millions who have been killed in the name of the Christian god.
The thing is, Christianity, by and large, has managed to evolve away from that. There's parts of the Muslim world that haven't managed that yet.

Were Conventions, Asemblies and the Memorials boring to you?
by HereIgo inconventions always just seemed like more of a vacation to me than anything else, especially if you had to travel out of town for it, but definitely were exhausting especially toward the end of each day.
for some reason i didn't mind the special and circuit assemblies too much, probably because they seemed like more of a social event than anything else and only 1-2 days.
the memorial always was kind of boring to me.

On the whole I liked conventions, because, for a young person, I was strangely interested in things like
four-part symposiums on the prophet Habakkuk and new light on Daniel's prophecy and so ongirls -

I don't know if life first sprouted up in the hydrothermal vents. Better minds than mine think it may have done, but as you say, it's not (as far as I know) a definite theory. But that's fine, not knowing things is good. Gives us (the royal us, not me) something to work on. That's why science is so good, over time it generally gets there in the end, and without resorting to the god of the gaps.

Cofty, hydrothermal vents would be the last place on earth where life would originate. As I said before, it probably one of the most inhospitable places on the planet
Yet, lots of things live there - whodathunkit.

Final Rejection
by Disassociated Lady 2 ini have just returned from visiting friends and family.
when i was disassociated my parents had contact with me a few months before my dad was diagnosed with cancer.
i was reinstated 20 months after his funeral and then they disfellowshipped me 5 months later as they are convinced i had not changed my life enough to be a jw again.
