  Do you feel guilty about bringing people. . .

  into the borg?.

  i fortunately was never able to have a bible study grow all the way to the point of baptism.

  but for those of you who did, do you feel guilty about bringing another person into what i think of as a cult?

  I was only good at selling Watchtowers and books. I never got anyone in either. Now I'm trying to make up for all that crap I peddled.

  i don't have any but i am going to tell on my lady boss, who is a 26 yr old lawyer of the hoity toity breed who was incidently born with golden slippers.

  this morning as i walked into the ladies room we passed each other as she was on her way out.

  we smiled and said hi, then next thing i see her pass her hand under a drip from the tap...and then hastily wipe her hand on the towel before rushing out.

  Ruth's Watchtower (Part II)

  by Stephanus in

  2. friends

  we've been having a bit of fun with our speculations about what ruth is really like, from clues drawn from the watchtower she (or someone) left in a train.

  i had a look at the watchtower itself and have been rather amused by its overall cheesiness.

  or to quote groucho marx:.

  TALK ABOUT MALLHAIR? And wouldn't she get counseled by the elders for all that Jezebel makeup? Oh wait! Plastic identity = plastic face! I get it.

  P.S. Where's Johnny?

  I think he's in the bathroom. He took "God's Gift of Beauty" with him, I think.

  Let's shake things up at Beliefnet

  i've been reading and posting over at the jehovah's witnesses challenge & critique section of the mega-religion site beliefnet.

  the moderator (a jw) is starting to get her undies in a bundle over some of the posts!

  i think it would be cool if some others from here would go over there and rattle the cage a little.

  I really didn't have any specific threads in mind. I just think it would be cool if more people from here make a presence on the Jehovah's Witnesses Challenge & Critique board. The moderator issued a general thread stating that she doesn't like some of the things being said even though the conversations have been quite mild. She is new and I think a bit naive. Beliefnet is a huge mega-traffic site that I think Is good exposure to the world about these issues.

  Thanks everyone for taking a look!

  P.S. Simon, you wouldn't happen to be simon712 over there, would you? -prof

  Beck,

  The moderator is illyria .

  That comment about thinking that the dubs are working for God not the WT was not sarcasm. She actually thinks that!

  Stephanus,

  Just hit reload and it should be there. You weren't the first person to ask. Happy now I&P (if you're still lurking), and Heaven?

  Your Cheesiest/Silliest/Strangest WTScans

  by Stephanus in

  i've been enjoying scanning bits and pieces of ruth's old 'tower magazines.

  many of us will have old copies of the literature lying around, so why not scan something that's particularly meaningful to you?

  here's my offering to start the ball rolling.

  The underground route to the new system

  by RunningMan in

  2. friends

  i heard a rather disturbing phrase recently.. i know a jw who is suffering from bi-polar disorder.

  he is periodically institutionalized, and has tried suicide on at least one occasion.

  although i cant personally begin to fully comprehend what he is going through, he made a statement that i found strangely disturbing.

  I am touched by the compassion of that Awake article. I'ts almost as touching as when they admitted that some of the colored friends might be smart enough to understand those complicated Watchtower articles afterall.

  jehovah's witnesses are hereby set free by these words in the bible:.

  "if a prophet speaks in the name of the lord and what he says does not come true, then it is not the lord's message.

  that prophet has spoken out of his own authority, and you are not to fear him.
