The person is a JW. I don't think the article hid it. If anyone smarter than you confirms what you already believe to be so, it just hammers in the indoctrination.

The Borg "our mother"? Good Grief!
by Roberta804 ini have heard it all now, or at least up to now, the borg never ceases to surprise me.
so when jesus was talking to his deciple from the cross (opps stake), "this is your mother" or something like that, was he talking about the borg?

My buddy in his Ministerial Training School said his instructors would use this term freely, and basically everyone in there would follow suit. He was staying with me at the time, and said it just seemed odd. He saw others using the term just to get in good with the instructors. But of course he finished, was groomed for circuit work, and serves as an elder.
On more than one occasion he has told me he hopes the whole place burns to the ground and F___ the Governing Body. But I ask him why he is still there, and he says, where else am I going to go?
What a tool.

Brainmelt,
Just because biblical accounts may seem off to you doesn't mean there is no creator. But regardless, that is your decision to make one way or the other. Stopping your kids rom being indoctrinated is key, but its hard to do halfway.
Don't rush like Billy said. Take your time, and for goodness sake learn everything you can about your former faith that you didn't know.

kindness of Jw's
by d inwe got a call from a jehovah witness and they were willing to help shovel our drive way.
i find it strange how these jw's take an interest in our welfare.where as others could care less.
so i realize not all jw's are bad.if only more of them take a geuine interest in others they would not be so bad.

Everyone already got it. People are people. These are good people. Them being JW's has nothing to do with it. Some JW's are great people, some are tools, and some are evil. Same goes for the whole of humanity. Appreciate their kindness, tell them you appreciate it, and pay it forward and in return. That is the right thing to do.

First Recorded "Conscious Class" Talk in the Kingdom Hall
by raymond frantz inthe governing body is not all powerful and all present ,we are not totally powerless .use your talks to promote christian freedom and tear down their propaganda .use material from publications that promote christian freedom and scriptures that they willingly avoid .use your talks to awake your brothers .
the following talk uses non of the usual watchtower propaganda and uses scriptures the governing body chooses to avoid .. whether you are an elder ,a ministerial servant ,or just a publisher use your items and your talks at the meeting to awake your brothers and sisters .this talk was given few days ago at the thursday meeting ,based on proverbs 3:5.sorry for the accent ,english is not my mother language.. talk at the kingdom hall.

Weird rumor I heard - JWs in Sweden
by sir82 ini heard this from a "friend of a friend of a friend...." at least 3 or 4 intermediate steps before i heard it.. so it is likely distorted, but i'll throw it out there in case someone in or near sweden can clarify it.. .
i heard that the wts branch in sweden instructed all jws there to "get rid of" all (empahasized all) of their printed literature, and rely exclusively on the content of jw.org for their literature.. .
that's the entire extent of it - i also got a few speculations about "what it might mean" (the society is expecting persecution!

Scandinavian countries take secular to an entirely new level. Nobody is converted, and JW's seem crazy to the general population. That being said, the JW's in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark are MUCH BETTER than the ones in the founding countries. Just by virtue of their surroundings, they are more reasonable and intelligent.
I don't know what announcement was made, but it is probably a misinterpretation or editorial on something. it isn't true they have been told to abandon literature.

Brazilian waxing and JWs
by Bella15 inwith all the control they want to have over people's lives, i wonder if going brazilian down there (male or female) would be cause for readjustment???
lol i can see sister a telling the elders on sister b ... lol... i wonder what scriptures they would use to make their point across ... i know that for non-jw this would sound totally crazy but as an ex-jw i know that this is totally possible ....

Lol. Yeah I am pretty sure opinions run the gammut on this within JW's just like anywhere else.
Of course......as soon as I say that there will be a question from readers on it.
Something like, "Well do we want to give the appearance we are prepubescint? Would we be encouraging our mate to have pedophilia tendencies? Jehovah has blessed us with a rich bounty of pubes for a reason. They serve many functions including but not limited to trapping debris, and keeping the area warm and ripe for copulation with the intent of procreation. It is of note, that many stars of pornographic movies engage in such practice. Would it be proper for a Christian to engage in the same form of hair restriction around there genitals as those who dishonor God with the profane use of their bodies?"
Oh man......I am making myself laugh and could totally keep going.

JW businessman's email about the UN and false religion
by Las Malvinas son Argentinas ini was shown a hard copy of an email from a purported jw businessman who claimed he had contact with some un officials as part of his 'business'.
in conversation, he claimed that he blurted out and asked them when they were going to clamp down on religion as foretold in jw prophecy.
according to the account, the un official acted startled, and asked 'how do you know?'.

Oh man! I ALWAYS forget about this particular urban legen. The Nestle quik having blood in it stuck moreso. But yep......urban legend.
Pretty much anything that starts with so little information its verification is impossible = BS.
