They always revel in stories about a JW who won a debate with a religious leader. It's about time one of them went down in defeat. I wonder how she'll spin the story for the brothers and sisters?

Is This the Safest Time To Be Alive?

by 00DAD in

safest time to be alive?

matthew chance takes a look at whether or not we live in a safer world today than any other time in history.. http://www.rr.com/video/2322994712.

of course this contradicts jw perennial gloom-and-doom prognostications and wt end times eschatology, but if you even could get one of them to sit down and consider the real facts, they'd probably just say, "see, we're getting closer to the cry of 'peace and security!'".

The author makes an interesting point.

I remember a WT article or book from the early '70s that quoted a pundit of the times saying the world would be uninhabitable by 1975. They used that quote to back up the 1975 teaching. They love to be doomsayers, that's for sure.

Maybe it's to show posts from apostate web sites where we've quoted from letters to the BOE and the Shepherding book accompanied by a stern warning not to leak info. I'm sure the Borg is quite vexed that but don't want any of the elders to actually look up those sites. Heavens, they might have their eyes opened!

Several Sites Are Down

in case you have noticed, several websites that are managed and administered by me are down.

at this moment i do not know specifically why, but my hosting company (secureserver.net) tells me only that it is due to a "copyright infringement.

" i do not even know which of the 30 some sites might actually have the claimed infringement and so far all i've been told is that there is a claim and that i have to email a certain group and they will get back to me.. i have no idea when these sites will come back on line.

Is there an indication on the letter that it is copyrighted material? I'm sure there will be on every future letter.

I love it how all of us mentally diseased apostates are getting under their skin.

How did she like the "worldly" people?

One thing that went a long way toward convincing me of TTATT was that "worldly" people were actually nicer than most JWs.

Did you ever have any real weirdos ? in your congregation who were Elders ?

by smiddy in

.....some of the things he did and got away with , to me now is unbeleivable , and maybe to you.. in all fairness he was well versed in the bible and very clever how he used it to put a critic to rest at the doors and in one instance when i was witnessing with him , he demoralised a pastor of his church .and i was impressed at that time.. but he had some strange ways , he was always looking for someone to break gods laws so to speak .he did set himself up as the policeman for enforcing gods law on the congregations .

( this is my description ) he was known to stand outside bros/sis.

homes to see if he could find something incriminating against them .

I asked him then to explain why the devil turned on God. He started screaming about me being apostate and it took three other men to pull us apart.

Piztjw - That was brilliant! spittake Welcome!

Some of these posts sound a lot like my late father. He thought he was everyone's conscience. Counseled people about the color of their car, for example, and was generally a hard-nosed $%#. Super self-righteous but carried around some dirty little secrets. Had me brought up before a JC because I confronted him about the harsh verbal abuse I had suffered at his hands when I was a teenager.

ShirleyW - Yes, I was in a congo that had 5 normal elders. Amazing.

Is this the way a good Christian should present himself/herself?

by I_love_Jeff in

jehovah's witness states: "the word 'disgusting' is always applied to false religious practices - and it's appropriate to point out god's feelings about them.".

i found this up on ya!

"Disgusting" is allowing pedophiles to run around the organization unchecked.
