  having grown up in a jehovah's witness family, { quotes } came to the realization that what he was being raised to believe, wasn't standing up to scrutiny.

  subsequently, he put together a fantastic website, simply showing primary resource material (stuff jw's say about themselves and their beliefs) then simply highlighted various points of interest... things to make you say "hmmm!

  Beans, I think that would be considered "technically" still a virgin!
  
  Fats, yup, that is exactly what it is all about, to me. Full Disclosure. If someone still wants to join JWs after fully learning about all the crazy skeltons in the closet, great. More power to 'em.
  
  Turning that same argument around, some people (like, say, my dad, or perhaps the WTS drones that are reading this -- hi guys! --) would say that it isn't right that such a full disclosure "might confuse" some and cause them to lose their interest in "The Truth".
  
  To that I say: "If the only thing keeping a JW faithful is a lack of knowledge, and lack of full disclosure, then that person really doesn't deserve to be a JW anyway -- 'cause remember, Jahoobee reads the heart condition and knows that their faith is predicated on false understanding! Or are we to believe that Jahoobee wants followers that are only faithful as long as the facts -- the truth -- is NOT revealed to them?

  Why do I get the feeling that at this very minute, WTS worker-bees are eagerly listening to the interview, trying to see if I said anything they can use against me?
  
  HI GUYS!!!! (Quotes give a hearty wave!)

  Cygnus, thanks for your concern. However, there is not way that I can both fight this and remain *totally* invisible.
  
  I would prefer if my name was not posted here at JWD, but have had to reveal my identity for the radio program. I have also left my identity unobscured in the scan of the WTS's "Statement of Claim".
  
  So.... at JWD, please refrain from using my name. But for official news/press releases at official news sources, well, they have to use a name.

  Do you like this when it happens to you?

  by free2beme in

  i have been on message boards for years, not so much former witness boards, but political or even just general topics.

  in so doing, something always happens and i wonder if i am the only one who finds this annoying.. you type something, perhaps a topic or a response and you don't think it is all that important to check all spelling and make sure grammar is perfect.

  after all, it's not school anymore and we are not being graded.

  TIP: if you download the Google ToolBar, you can use it to check your spelling. It has a spell check function that works with any page with an input box (like this one I'm typing on right now).

  The Mother of all conspiracy theories

  by Junction-Guy in

  1. watchtower

  ok first of all whenever i get a strong feeling about something im usually right.

  even though for years as a child i was taught the jw doctrine and it seemed to make sense biblically, at least back then.

  but yet i had a strong sense of doubt, but it was nothing specific i could point the finger to, just a gut feeling that there was something wrong with the jw religion.. now here's my main point.

  An interesting speculation. However, IMO, not correct -- but I'd be happy to eat crow if I'm wrong.
  
  "Never attribute to consipiracy that which can be adequately explained by stupidity".
  
  I think the WTS has made, and continues to make, stupid, costly decisions. I'm sure the former bethelites here can regail you with stories of millions of dollars lost due to pathetic, stupid decisions made by WTS middle managers.

  Oh my GOODNESS!!!
  
  You don't suppose.... is it possible... could it be?????
  
  

  THIS IS THE "ARMAGEDDON IS HERE" ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!

  
  
  Makes sense. After all, my Quotes web site must be the greater fullfillment of Revelation, where it says that Satan would use his forces to turn against Jehovah's Organization.... at least, that is what my boss, Mr. Diablo Lucifer, keeps telling me (in between the human sacrifices, of course).

  hi again kids!

  i was thinking last night about what i could do to help quotes out, and really, to help everyone fight back and support quotes in his time of need.

  so, i came up with the idea of tshirts.

  RR, you have always made me smile.
  
  Thanks for the thoughts and ideas.
  
  Much, much better than my idea: hiring a forest-fire water-dumping helicopter, and having it, um.... er... "deliver" an enitre scoop full of human waste onto the Watch Tower printing factory.
  
  Still, one can dream.
