The Generation change in the 1990's....98 was it? They changed a major prophecy right there and I knew then what it meant...the Big A was not coming...took me till 2012 to start fading though...

Seeds of Doubt.
by donny inseeds of doubt.
what was it about the jw religion that first gave you serious doubts as to its truthiness?.
for me it occurred in late 1984 when we were studying the brochure the divine name that will endure forever which had been released at the summer convention that year.

Atheists, here is a 'balls' question ---even for all---
by prologos init is very difficult to knock a ball into a hole (like golf), throw it into a receiver's hands (american football) intercept it and knock it over the fence (american cricket).
or to put a sattelite at the right time at the right speed in the right direction in the right place to have it orbit another body, so :.
what ingenious natural & process is it, than can get 9+ zillions bodies to get into the right orbit simultaniously or sequentially and have them remain there for billions of years?

Why do people thing that all the orbits of every planet is "set" by someone or something?
There has been plenty of proof of collisions of planets and even galaxies...the ones that didn't collide are the ones now orbiting...

Suggestion for title of final Final Talk from GB
by sparrowdown inok, so it's right before the big a.. gb are just about to depart heavenward but not before leaving us something to remember them by.. so after several rounds of rock, paper, scissors one of them goes up to the podium, adjusts his tie, clears his throat and says....... .
"so long, and thanks for all the fish".
now anyone familiar with hitch hikers guide to the galaxy would know that was.

"Deep down inside even they know it is BS." Discuss
by rory-ks innope, bungi bill's interesting statement from this post didn't take, so i'll start its own.. from my own experience, i hated the field ministry.
it might just be because of the kind of character i am, whatever, i never was able to overcome that feeling of dread every time i went door-to-door.
i felt aware of how much people disliked having strangers cold-calling trying to sell them something.

I agree in that 70% of dubs think it is not true or have doubts as they are in for the social aspect...
The proof in that is in each cong you have a hardcore select who lap up every meeting and are out on field circus every week...they are about 30%...the other 70% attend every so often, go out on the ministry just for the coffee and chitchat...it is obvious to me when I was in.
IF they all did believe it they would all be pioneers...
But I will tell you that the GB and the higher echolons in Bethel believe it al 100%...as Don Cameron says in his excellent book...they are "Captives to a Concept"....that concept is that God has chosen them to be His channel of communication...no matter what!

Governing Body and Security
by NeverKnew ini was told that unlike christendom's pastors of mega-churches, members of the governing body don't require a security team and that you can just walk right up to them and talk to them.. is this true?.

Watchtower Society copyright activity
by Ultimate Axiom ini have heard that the watchtower society occasionally takes action under copyright law to either close down a website, or get it to remove the offending material.. some websites (like jwfacts.com, quotes-watchtower.co.uk, and even in some threads here) include a host of images taken from watchtower publications that depict (among other things) armageddon.
are these websites infringing watchtower society copyright by displaying their images?.
if yes, has the watchtower society attempted to have these sites either closed down or the images removed?.

No change in any doctrine since Don wrote that book has changed anything that the book refers too...even the change in who the FDS is doesn't change any of the chapters in the book as Don goes to prove the FDS cannot be God Directed...even if they were appointed in 33 CE or 1919CE!!!!

NEW NAME FOR THE WT MAGAZINE!
by The Searcher inin the uk, there was a popular t.v.
show called the only way is essex - a documentary type programme about that area which is close to london.
the programme's name got abbreviated to its initials - towie, and that is how it is now named.. since the org's uk branch is moving to essex, perhaps the uk version of the magazine will be renamed, the watchtowie..

NASA Identifies The Hand of God
by Perry init even has what looks like blood flowing from a palm wound.
article.
world-renowned astrophysicist robert jastrow, founding director of nasas goddard institute for space studies, explains the fear of faith many of todays scientists experience.. there is a kind of religion in science, it is the religion of a person who believes there is order and harmony in the universe, and every effect must have its cause; [but] there is no first cause.

"Someone needs a maths lesson (2014 - 2001 = 13 years)
But yeah, Perry has some Bat Crap Crazy views."
You have lost me there mate...is 13 years not qualified as "years"? I said he joined many years ago...13 qualifies as to "many" to me...or am I missing something obvious with your post?

I'm out...my wife is in...
We both agreed if there was any abuse on any level the other is free to go...we both agree.
Thankfully, it won't happen as we are happily married but my wife, even though in, would never accept a "steve" slapping her about...
It's mental what the WT has done to people's thinking...when I was elder we had to deal with husbands hitting their wives and raping them and yet they would both seem happy at the next meeting...a pretense!
