JWs are not the only "deliberatly oblivious" (thanks Xandit for the new definition) ones that turn to name calling when they are defenseless or have their back against the wall. I have dealt with Bible Students and other religions that turn to calling you a liar when they have nothing to back up what they believe or if you have nailed them to the wall with their lies.

LIAR LIAR LIAR!!!
by Englishman incan someone please tell me why pro-witness posters frequently tell other posters that they are lying?
xandit has just done it to focus -who`s post was well researched and informative - friday on h20 does it for a pastime, as do most of the pro witness brigade.. i have to say that, in my experience, people who shout "liar!
" have usually turned out to be persons who`s own truthfullness can often be called into question.. calling someone a liar is, in my book, a dire insult, and will result in a challenge to pistols at dawn if that particular form of abuse is ever pointed in my direction!.

TR,
You gave me an idea on how to get free samples of donuts if indeed the Bakeries do as you predict.
I will place a couple WT and AFAKE magazines in the front window of my home and dress in a suit and tie when the Baker comes a knockin at my door.

On a more serious note, I think the WT will do as the Mormon church has been doing the past few years, and that is try to become more acceptable in the eyes of the mainstream churches and the public.
One way of doing this is by changing the tactics in which they lie about their doctrines so as to not be as noticable. Gordon B. Hinkley, the recent Mormon prophet, when interveiwed by TIME magazine August 4,1997 was asked the question on page 56 whether his church still holds that God the Father was once a man, Hinkley said "I don't know that we teach it. I understand the philosophical background behind it, but I don't know a lot about it, and I don't think others know a lot about it."
Either this is a down right lie by Hinkley the self appointed prophet or he is an ignorant prophet that knows less than the missionaries knocking on doors.

I predict that many Bakeries will go out of business in the USA in the near future because of the decline in the number of JWs frequenting the donut shops after field service.

If you went back...
by LovesDubs inive not been to a meeting in five years probably.
yet my husband still goes and i always envision him going in and the hardy handshakes he gives, greeting and being greeted, sitting there with all those suits with the secrets hidden inside, and all those pretty dresses hiding the pain.
if i wasnt disassociated, i wonder if i would be bolder, speak up, be honest with the "friends" instead of toeing the company line.

I would go back to my local KH once just for the heck of it, but they would stone me to death for all the trouble I have caused and continue to cause today.

They SLAUGHTER KIDS in JWdom, don't they, Mom?

fact one (from watchtower magazine 15 october, 1993 p32).
doctor x, sympathetic to the jehovah's witnesses, stated that to forego blood transfusions increases the mortality rate for a standard operating procedure from c0.5% to c1.5% (in the advanced world).. fact two (from awake!

Excellent Focus!
Any thinking JW that reads your post has to question the WT and their stand against blood transfusions. The problem is, most JWs have lost the ability to think objectively.

"The Note"
by AuSet inat the 1994 district convention in bismark, north dakota, (could possibly have been 93) my sister wrote a note to her friend and tossed it in the garbage.
the note contained a discussion about going to boy's hotel rooms after the sessions ended, and other troublesome activities, including lying to the parents about what my sister and her friend were doing.. presumably, an attendant found this note in the garbage and turned it into the elders.
on the last talk of the last day of the convention, the note was read out loud to the entire audience, along with the warning that "whoever you are, we will find you.

I just thought of a great way to get back at the DO and CO as well as the elders in their congregation.
Buy some porno magazines, sign the elders names as well as the COs and DOs names in some of the magazines, take them to the assemblies and put them in various trash cans while no one is looking.

PEDOPHILES are to WTS as flies are to honey?
by Focus inw73 11/15 703-4 questions from readers ***.
do paul's words at 1 corinthians 6:1-7 mean that under no circumstances should a christian take to court a case involving a fellow believer?
-u.s.a. here paul was showing the corinthian christians the inconsistency of taking disputes between christians before secular tribunals.

Focus,
I have the perfect forum you can post this stuff about Russell and the BS. It is a Bible Student Forum that I post on from time to time. The administrator (Regan Balman) is a control freak. There are also a few JWs that will post there from time to time.
> http://network54.com/Hide/Forum/89087
The one that goes by Sherlock is a JW, mind controlled to the max.
If you want a few more BS forums to post on, let me know.
Have fun!

TR,
The site is somewhat sensationalized. It is interesting though. I clicked on the Republicans from Hell and my computer froze, I wonder what that means?
