Maybe we should let Maclean's know about JWD.
Done. More encourgement surely cannot hurt though.

just a one-page article on an ex-jw support group in toronto.
macleans is canada's version of "time" with a large circulation.
it's also the magazine that did the large article on the septuplets.

THE INSANE KLOWN POSSE; COURTESY OF THE WATCHTOWER. NEW YORK, USA
a theme regularly running through ex-jw / apostate posts is their conviction that the worship of jws is at best of a high control basis or at worst exhibits cult-like tendencies , so they often delight in the freedom that they now enjoy.. but in reality , how much control is exhibited on the average witness?
to take one example , at least 40k are dfd in an average year , and one would assume 3 - 5x this figure are reproved privately or publicly.
that means that over a 10 year period 20% - 25% of jws are seriously flouting the strongest moral code of jws , usually for immorality , emphasized in wt after wt , meeting after meeting.
A no-brainer:
As much as {YOU} are WILL-ing to give, loan, barter and sacrafice.
The question SHOULD be:
How much MORE control are you willing to ALLOW/GIVE this fraud of a religion to let eat away at the quality of YOUR lifeBEFORE YOU PASS AWAY?

a couple of jws just left my door.
they started out by trying to give me an invitation to an upcoming convention.. i politely declined and said it was difficult and that i didn't get out much, anyway.
we didn't spend much time talking but i almost felt sorry for the poor man (it was a husband & wife) because he really, really wanted to give away some literature!
the problem with the jw's you meet every day . is they haven't met any strong apostates. to make them eat every word they spout. you have to stop and expose them for the false teacher they are. try stopping when the jw are talking to some other passerbyer. and ask the jw's to tell this person about some of their false prophecies etc. and press them infront of someone that may not know better. it only takes a few minutes. you will make the jw backpeddle. and maybe save a few people. after you do this for a while the jw's will run when they see you walking down the street.
Ah yes, this type of victory is very sweet to taste.
Great advice my friend!
THE WATCHTOWER IS ONLY AS POWER-FULL AS {YOU} MAKE/ ALLOW IT TO BE. BY ANY MEANS.

as if the poor dubs did not know already that jesus approved of the wts in 1919 sheesh!!!!.
this magazine is relentless though - it pounds the 1918/19 dates over and over.
both study articles are promo pieces for the fds theoarchy.
i found this on another db and thought it was so true!
i recognized someone from almost every group listed here.
anybody you recognize or do you have another group to add to the list?.
Hey. Any advice for a single, moderately sexy, apostate, incognito, who hates wearing a bra? Besides "nibble on chocolate throughout the assembly...it drives men crazy".

excruciating to my sensibilities.. that is what it felt like watching this trailer.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj4cs4n9zka.
it makes absolutely no sense that jws expend so much energy, in every way, to keep their very ill "loved one" alive (excluding transfusions and organ transplants).
then utter such insanity as "the 'thing' is we have the resurrection to look forward to if it doesn't "go well"".. if that is true, and you believe it wholeheartedly, why expend all the energy, in this wicked system of things that jehovah god is going to destroy...soon, so that you will inherite a "new system", to keep him alive in such a 'system'?.
No more discussion?

(approx.
85mb) this publication is now unavailable from the watchtower, with no plans for republication.
Good Lowered, are you KIDDING me?
Nice gem Atlantis.

a freind that listens to srn (salem radio news network) said she heard a news blurb today about several high ranking jws being removed over sex scandal.
any one else heard anything???
she indicated brooklyn ny as the location.
Well, it's nearly 8 pm here. I'm intriged. Sounds mysterious. Wonder if the WTBTS will be standing when I Awake! in the morn?

yesterday we have a study of the watchtower about obedience and submission.
this study arose a lot of questions and heightened emotions in me and the interested retired judge sitting besides me.
we came accross the 9th pharagraph, page 28 of the april 1, 2007, where it says that: "it is easy to obey when everything is clear and we agree, but we will show that we are trully submissive if we yeild even when we do not personally understand the direction provided.
flip and flipper,
Thanks for the insight.
See, they aren't as scary as so many give them credit for, are they?
Incidently, where in California are you?
