Hey Billy the kid.
Just be persistent. Don't leave. Don't stop debating. In time, just like many in here, you will become another apostate. That's the power of truth.
The U.N. is not a cult. However, it admits even cults as NGO's. Wait... it's at the tip of my tongue, Wat..ever. Watchery.... got it. Watchtower is the name of a cult that was as a U.N. NGO in the 90's.

"Your truth is your truth, and mine is mine"
Typical cultish response. History is probability. You guys can settle your differences by accepting the evidence. Compare the different scenarios and embrace the most probale one. The evidence says the Watchtower is very probably wrong and they know it. therefore they are liars.
Read Carl Olof Jonsson's "Gentile Times Reconsidered" and put the evidence he presents to the test. I did. He is right, the Watchtower is lying

Being an atheist since 13 because my dislike of the unloving God and my love of science, I can understand your position. I am also amazed as how cults can control people as intelligent as many of the best posters here. It's a big mystery. Seeing is believing. Cults do have a power that I can't explain. Just amazing!

Has the Governing Body Become More or Less Authoritarian in Recent Years?
by cofty init seems to me that this is a no-brainer but i have been out since '96.. so based on your personal experiences what do you think?.
lots more - a bit more - just the same as always - less - a lot less?.
if you think more or lots more can you spot a time or event when it started to change?.

King Solomon? I remember, smart guy, but not the type that can make many friends. I think you guys are right, he is back. I am glad. I think I am gonna sit and read. I have high respect for the intelects of both Cofty and Adamah (or King Solomon). Both certainly have much to teach me.
Thomas Covenant,
Those quotes seem unbelievable. I can not find anything in the WT library. Have they been removed? Do they come from reliable sources?

Is This Current Governing Body As Bad As Previous Ones!
by minimus inor are they all the same?

They seem much worse, but in essence they are the same. The previous leadership only had to cover its own BS and that of its predecessors while the current "administration' is doing the same, but the list of predecessors is longer. Rutherford only had to deal with his and Chuck's B.S. The "Great Eight' today have a huge load...the B.S. of Russell, Rutherford, Knorr, Freddie and everyone else after Freddie. How the hell do they manage to stay sane? Oh wait...

Jehovah WILL provide......
by quellycatface inhi guys.. just found out today that my landlord is selling my apartment.
he says he selling it with me as a sitting tenant, so should be okay.
i'm still a bit apprehensive as i've been here nearly 8 years and my son is in year 9 at the local school.. my mum's words of wisdom, were, of course, "jehovah will provide.".

Jehovah will provide means that you by your own sweat, effort and decisions will overcome this and many other obstacles, but you worthless piece of good-for-nothing-human will give all the credit to GOD, so says the Bible and the Governing Body.

The Challenge and the Result
by stuckinamovement ini remember being late for my senior year chemistry class.
as i grabbed the last seat in the back of the room i could tell that a boy in my class was engaged in yet another debate with the teacher.
jim was a bright student but he felt that he knew more than mr. roberts our chemistry teacher.

Easy answer. The teacher did the wrong thing. He is ultimately responsible for seeking his hurt ego to be restored by causing so much damage. Jim was just a young kid with zero years as a mentor or teacher to anyone. The teacher had been there for 40 years. Shameful!

I just needed to add my own comment to such a popular thread. Cofty is a very thoughtful, smart and knowledgeable guy... but over 100 pages? I rather read a book than go through every page here. I doubt any opening comment merits 102 pages of comments.
Hey S. R. you go save lives with your other skills. Thanks for your great posts. No offense intended to anyone, but there's a time when all of us have to move on. Many of us sooner or later have to spend less time here and more time befriending the people close to us, people whose face we recognize and whose speech we can hear. This is a great site. possibly the best I have ever visited, but writing and reading here doesn't compare to the human interaction where you can use all your senses.
