  The problem with the Guardian article re WT-UN

  by comment in

  in case you missed it:.

  http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,565005,00.html.

  on balance, it's good reporting of this issue, which certainly needs wide publicity.. but it does include some factual errors, and some specific turns of phrase that may put witnesses off.

  Armed Security to be at Oct 7 event

  ...at least at the one in my state.

  found out that they read a letter sunday at one of the congregations going to the october 7 meeting.

  there will be hired armed security guards with metal detectors at the door, everyone will have to go through before being allowed in.. they also said that you're not allowed to bring in any bags like lunch coolers, and that you may be physically searched.

  Tape record Oct. 7 meeting

  by comment in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  could anyone who is attending the special meeting on october 7 arrange to tape record it?.

  it would probably not be that hard to bring in one of those mini-cassette recorders and at least capture part of what is said.. i am sure others who are unable to attend the meeting would be interested in hearing a recording.

  and if it turns out to be a "historic occasion," it would be nice for the world to have a document of it.. comment

  ive noticed many posts relating to evolution and i'm just wondering does anyone frequenting this board believe in the bible?

  it seems that just because most have bad experiences with the wt that everyone here is an atheist.

  i myself was something at least of an agnostic for quite some time after breaking free of the borg, but now i see things in a different light.

  How did you leave the JW's?

  by rhett in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my question for everyone is how did you leave the org?

  not really what led up to it but what did you do to no longer be a part of it?.

  personally, i think i have to have one of the more humerous stories of leaving.

  over the weekend, various publishers/congregations were.

  instructed to go out in service for a "special work".. some congregations received letters from circuit overseers.

  emphasizing immediate use of old awake magazines with articles.
