  i'm just wondering what the whole apostate propaganda is all about?.

  do you think you can do some sort of justice to the wt for the pains they have caused you?, what actualy are your motives?.

  i dont get it.

  Aren't online JW apologists through their actions technically considered apostates in the WTS' eyes?

  It makes me sick that Jehovahs Witnesses Kids cannot play organized sports but it is okay for them to watch others play.

  The assumption that gaps in scientific knowledge automatically prove that God exists and acts is a fallacious argument from ignorance. Numerous natural phenomena once attributed to divine intervention have been successfully explained through scientific inquiry. The lack of an absolutely definite answer to the origin of life does not prove that God created life. As more evidence is uncovered, we will likely develop a better understanding of how life originated.

  I'd say the pressure to get baptized and fear of disfellowshipping, but honestly, even within my own congregation, the standards / rules are extremely lax on what few young people we have, including me (majority are upper middle-age to elderly).

  "All generalizations are false, including this one."

  the above mark twain quote made me think about some of the comments i heard this weekend during the watchtower study.

  several commentors alluded to the seeming ignorance of "wordly" people as regards bible knowledge.

  comments such as "people who go to churches don't know the bible like we do, so they may go to church and afterwards say that was a very good sermon.

  What apostates fail to recognize is...

  you can cut & paste all the excerpts from articles you want...you can leak all the boe letters, you can pretend to be witnesses and come to the conventions and meetings...but.

  no other organization can begin to rival the success and magnitude of the prophecy found in mt 24:14. so apostates....don't waste your time spending countless hours digging up articles and reading books to convince yourself to turn away from jh's organization.

  no matter what "evidence" you find you cannot ignore the obvious fulfillment of matthew 24:14.. .

  JWs spend over 1.5 billion hours preaching, but only baptize around 200,000. Their preaching is obviously a very slow and inefficient method of reaching people, and has not actually reached every single country.

  Hi guys! I've been lurking here since March and finally decided to join.

  When the announcement was read in my KH, there was no response. I didn't hear anyone talk about it. I'm guessing they just went along with it as they do with almost anything. Thanks to this site, I already knew about the letter :)
