Wow !! thank you all so much for your comments, this is obviously a really deep subject and I apologise if it has been discussed in great depth before, (I did a search on this site but nothing much came up)
There are so many new ones on this site now, that I don't suppose it will matter if subjects such as this are re-discussed.
Are some of the scriptures that you refer to, from the Books not found in the witnesses own bible?
Once again, thank you all for your comments.

Thanks Atlantis
I've copied the page and will print it out tomorrow.
I've just been looking on a site called Let us Reason.com, seems to be quite informative.

Thanks Atlantis for the offer - if it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate a scanned copy. We (husband and I) are collecting info on the witnesses and have a very full lever arch file now, looks like we will soon be onto file no.2

hi Blondie
Thanks - I have only recently given it some thought, after being in the Witnesses for over 30 years, I'm not really into researching anything myself - says she ashamadly!
We were always told the answers to everything, but now I am reading so much of other people's opinions, that it makes you wonder, just how much you really knew when you were in the Org.
I will have a look at the Search engines. I searched on this site for Michael Archangel, but it only came up with two postings. Neither were relevant.
I'll get back with my research, as soon as I find something interesting.
thanks again

i work with about 30 guys who fail to realize that one can actually hold a conversation without swear words and still make sense.
it doesn't happen that way.
the words they use frequently make the f-word look like a polished piece of vocabulary.. now, about 4 months ago, the son of a jw family in good standing applied for a job there.
Would it be possible to forewarn this young man of the conditions he would be working in. then at least he could make up his own mind?

did you ever give blood, if so, how often and how does it feel?
does it hurt?
Yes, I gave blood a few times, but that was before I became a JW.
Since I've been out of the witnesses, I have thought about donating again, but not got around to it.
I guess some of the teachings are hard to shake off.

sorry for starting yet another "quotes" thread, but i thought this was cool/unusual news.
i submitted it and they published it!
www.fark.com watchtower sues webmaster for $100k, claims quoting their literature causes them loss of reputation and embarrassment.
IT well done, we will send our request over the weekend, together with our thanks for the way he Covered the UN thing. I expect the more requests for coverage he gets, the more chance he will be able to go ahead.

Good idea Vitty
We have been intending to write to Stephen Bates at the Guardian, to thank him for running the UN scandal story, We could combine our thanks with this story about Quotes v WT.
I will try to get together all of the information over the weekend and send it to the Guardian.
Lets hope that they do a good job on this one, their coverage of the UN scandal was the first thing that made us sit up and take notice.
