The Apostate Boogeyman
by RayPublisher inlondo has written a great article (imo) about how apostates are a figment of the jw imagination, fomented and concocted by none other than the watchtower.
not necessarily the dictionary definition of the word apostate, which simply means a person who leaves their religion, for by that definition everyone who leaves any religion to become a jw is an apostate.
no, it is jw conception of the apostate, both as an individual and as a group that is imaginary.. .

New article and video on TTATT
by RayPublisher inwell i spent a few weeks putting this one together it took sooooo much longer than i thought it would, but as you know, a few of us many of us on jwnet spend way too much time fighting the "watchtower power" hehe.
here's a couple paragraphs:.
so i had been thinking about how hard it can be to tell the difference between a high quality product, the "genuine article", and a knockoff or an inferior product recently.

So true
10) Usual occupation: editor
11) Industry or Business: publishing (retired)
Not "Ordained Minister" or "Spokesperson for God" but editor of a publishing company. Now ain't that the truth!!!

Is this true? Do the elders really do it like this?
by Julia Orwell ini put this week's wt paragraph about disfellowshipping on my fb page and said how poor robert's family didn't even check to see whether he was dead or alive in 16 years and a friend of mine of the 'conscious class' commented about how unchristian she felt disfellowshipping to this degree is, and i agreed.. another friend, and uber-jw who has a host of illnesses and yet pioneers, who everytime she and her husband go to another congregation, if he's not appointed within three years they move to another and try for an appointment there - he used to be an elder and no one is willing to promote him again- replied to my thread.
now keep in mind she has a dfd son and she doesn't even know whether he is dead or alive, because she follows the wt to the tee.
she replied, among other things,with this:.

** g81 1/22 p. 17 Searching Out Legal Roots ***
No doubt the public trials helped influence the judges toward carefulness and justice, qualities that sometimes vanish in secret star-chamber hearings. What about witnesses?
Witnesses in Bible times were required to testify publicly. For this reason they were warned not to be influenced in their testimony by the pressure of public opinion "so as to turn aside with the crowd in order to pervert justice."
Perjury was not punished with a jail term, but with whatever punishment the false witness had sought to bring upon the defendant-even death!-
