Well yes, see EndofMysteries thread an hour ago about the biology professor whose words have been taken out of context in an article on evolution in Awake! I suggest the evolution books the Borg released were stuffed with misquotes from scientists to cast doubt on evolution.

Do Jehovah Witnesses give out mis-information deliberately?
by smiddy indo you think it is possible that the g.b.is deliberately giving out mis-information to confuse either apostates or media that might be investigating them for one reason or another ?
speak out of both corners of their mouth .
and the reason they do so ?

received revealing "witness" in parking lot
by Magnum ina few weeks ago i was working out of my home state and was in a grocery store parking lot when i received my first jw witness since leaving jwdom.
a youngish-looking lady was sitting in an suv parked next to my car and i was about to get in my car to leave.
she opened the door and asked whether she could give me something to read (had a tract in her hand)..

Great work Magnum. How typical that they are being taught ad hominem phrases but no scriptural argumentation of the kind we learned. As you say all they can do is hand you a leaflet and keep repeating the web site. Truly a dumbing down especially after living through the overlapping generations fiasco she doesn't even know about it. -

HAVE ALL OF YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT IT'S LIKE IN WTLAND?!?!? - Billy
Oh Billy no I haven't, why are you shouting?
That's why I asked the question where is this vid from. It's so cultish. From one of the most controlling religions in the world that made us miserable, pretending they are the happiest people in the world.
I have seen about five threads on this vid talking about how disgusting it is, should dancing be allowed, should people dressed as Bible characters dance and the obvious question, to me anyway, is where did it come from.

An interesting comment given by an older brother during the prayer yesterday.
by My Name is of No Consequence ini have been a regular visitor to this site for several years now.
i never really felt the need to set up an account and post...until now.
at the close of yesterdays meeting, an older brother gave the prayer.

That"s very insightful sparrow. First they get rid of all the old literature then they get rid off all the older people who remember the old light. -

Yes that makes sense Dagney. What doesn't fit is why they keep taking it down.
edited to add just seen your post wifibandit, possibly true but I find it hard to believe they thought it wouldn't end up online. Are they that naive?

Ok I will summarise it for you so far. The JW one may or may not have been made at the summer convention 2014 as an answer to the AAWA one made sometime In 2014. -

Well thanks for answering my question while pretending that it was Illuminated who first thought of it. Never mind boys, a woman couldn't possibly have thought to ask that question first could she.
So John Cedars made a vid that JWs copied or was it the other way round? I guess we need dates. Anyone have dates for the two vids?

This is the first vid that I have been able to play, possibly because every time I find it on here it has already been taken down. So what do we know about it? Who made it please? People on here are saying the GB know about it or it was made with their consent. Does anyone actually know? -

Oh the joy of freedom..... to be just me.
by franticfran infinally after five years i have finally shut the door very firmly on the witnesses.
i have had this "sister" calling for over the last six months clearly trying to reactivate me,but never mentioning the reason why me and my family left the forfar congregation two years ago.
it was always any subject but the " elephant in the room" well today was the finale.

Who is your favorite "Apostate"? Who helped you see the truth about "The Truth"?
by minimus ini would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .
and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

I have this memory that Randy Watters did a paper newsletter called Freeminds in the early nineties before the internet. Can't remember how we got hold of it. After reading CoC and leaving, that newsletter really helped us to feel less alone. Thank you Randy.
