i have been a witness for a long time and still serve as an elder.
there have been a lot of changes to deal with in the last six months or so since i stumbled on this site due to questions i had about all the recent changes in understanding published in the wt.
many posters here talk about a cult personality and a real personality.
thedog1: stop being a hypocrite. Resign as an elder immediately.
You will get no kudos or respect on this site for being an elder.
Stop making other people's lives miserable.
You already know deep down that the wts is a cult, so why persist with it any longer?

elevated brain aluminium, early onset alzheimer's disease in an individual occupationally exposed to aluminiumdate:february 12, 2014 source:keele university summary:research has shown for the first time that an individual who was exposed to aluminum at work and died of alzheimers disease had high levels of aluminum in the brain.
while aluminum is a known neurotoxin and occupational exposure to aluminum has been implicated in neurological disease, including alzheimers disease, this finding is believed to be the first record of a direct link between alzheimers disease and elevated brain aluminum following occupational exposure to the metal.
Sigh.
Aluminium is the most abundant metal on Earth. It is everywhere.
Animals and plants have had a long evolutionary association with this element. It's very ubiquity means that life has had a great deal of time to get 'used' to the presence of Al.
It is the rarer metals that are toxic to life. Cadmium, chromium and mercury are all very toxic to life, for example. That is because the relative rarity of these metals means that they are encountered very infrequently and life (animals and plants) has not learned how live in their presence.
i heard something through the grapevine...was curious if it was an 'official view' long story short, it was stated (??
) that a jw would have been killed had she stayed home and not gone to a ca.
(in washington state) has anyone else heard about this?
I was saved as from the Wa landslide as well.
By being in Australia.
Miraculous, I know.
i ask this because of an experience over the weekend when two witnesses came to my door , and he tried to use his i-pad to witness to me, which i wasnt intersted in.. my theory is this is going to backfire on them .
the majority of people in christendom , whether they practice it or not have a reverence , if not a deep respect for the written word , the bible , as a holy book.
a sacred book.. i dont beleive a householder who is a christian is going to be impressed by someone who quotes scriptures from an i-pad.. religous books have been considered sacred for centuries , their is an awe about them .
The general population of Australia has no special respect for the bible. Just another book. Time to move on, Smiddy.
Anyone showing you scriptures on their ipad is just plain weird.
interesting article.

No, kassad. Not interesting at all. Just utter crap.
starting april 15th, 2014 on four successive jewish holidays there will be a blood moon.
significant events have occurred on each occasion?
anyone else following these events?.
Maat: I see. You are gifted with special insight. You are able to read the signs with greater perspicacity than the rest of us. And you are completely wrong.
Let me posit something. You are nothing more than the latest loser to predict the end of the world. There have been countless such predictions in the past and every single one of them was totally bogus. Every one of them! And yours will end the same way. That is nothing will happen.
And when your four blood moons come and go, as they without doubt will, will you then come back on this site and publicly admit that you were wrong? Of course you won't. I bet you we will never hear you mention a thing about it.
every once in a while i hear people purposely make fun of jws, calling them hovas, jeehoovers, etc.
i don't think that's a good way to reach them..
Jehoova's deserve nothing but mockery. And derision.
WTwizard's is on the right track. More power to him. It's unfair of the earlier poster to single him out.
It does not bother me if someone is offended.
The jws are full of them selves, they feel they are superior to the rest of us. Their snide remarks and self importance mock us.

to go along with this video if you look closely at any cover of the latest wt or aw magazines you will always find (if you take your time) a pyramid or triangle in some shape or form even if it is not completely symmetrical, check it out on the jw website.
also virtually all kingdom hall exteriors will have a pyramid or triangle shaped roof, take a look at your local hall or google kingdom halls.
Adjustments: your brilliant research has cracked the Watchtower society wide open. They are really just a front company for Triangles International - a shadowy cartel of evil dedicated to spreading their tri-pointed evil globally.
If you add up the numbers of the pages in the watchtower you will get 180. And there's 180 degrees in a triangle. Coincidence? I think not. Also if you fold a page from an awake on the diagonal, what shape do you get? Triangle! Well sort of, if you ignore the bits that aren't trianglular.
Well done Adjustments. With brilliant minds like yours working to expose the evil trianglarity of the wts, we are in safe hands.
title pretty much explains it all.
lots of people are getting married at midnight tonight.. what do you guys think?
maybe if anyone gets called on by a jw this weekend you can ask them what they think about it.. im just glad because it shows that religion doesn't define our conscience, that basic human decency can prevail over time and hopefully, these types of gradual but big changes will be present in the wts too in the future .
Gay marriage is an unstoppable wave sweeping around the globe.
Except here in Australia. And a few other backward societies.
Congratulations to the Brits.
a lot of people felt that the usa's reputation was terrible, especially under president bush.
then obama became president and we heard how the rest of the world felt that finally they had a person that would respect them and their views and work with them!
the new president even ot a nobel peace prize because of the world's perception.. what's your view of america?
I think the US is great. I love the place.
