Watchtower Intolerance
by Fernando infrom an article in the catholic weekly:.
watchtower intolerance.
watchtower law states: “most firmly hold and in no way doubt that every apostate or dissenter is to be destroyed at armageddon, unless before the end of his life he repents, and restored to the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses.” .

Guide to Helping Other Break Free
by LisaRose ini have come up with a guide to helping others break free of the watchtower, based loosely on steve hassan's book, combatting cult mind control and incorporating experiences of other jwn posters who have been successful in helping their family leave the watchtower.
i posted an earlier draft of this and got some great feedback.
here is the final version with some additional information and incorporating many of your suggestions.

Elders intervening in family issues
by gatorguy indoes anyone know of any good scriptures or reference articles that i can show an elder to hopefully have him stop intervening in a family issue?
i already told him that i am the head of the house and that they're usurping my headship but they didn't seem to get the message.

Tell him next time that you are recording the conversation "for quality purposes" -
I told them that they were more than welcome to "come and see me" for a Barbecue and Beer but not to have a Tribunal -
Should they call me in for a JC, I will tell them that the entire proceedings will be videoed and I will have 2 "assistants" with me - My BiL [an intelligent non-witness and a lawyer /- friend who has offered her services] Also that there is a possibility that I will "broadcast" the said JC on various avenues of Social Media - Cant wait for the day -

2014 master thesis about JWs LOYALITY
by fastJehu ininteresting (internet) finding ... after all the bunker videos on the 2016 rc.. this master thesis tries to comprehend the concept of loyalty within the jehovah’s witnesses movement.
what does ‘loyalty’ mean to jehovah’s witnesses?

Very apologist and the proof-reading of the Grammar is pretty bad for a Masters Thesis - lots of errors.
Also there are no real conclusions drawn that could be regarded as new / remarkable / food for thought etc
Especially biased are her views regarding the "errors" that WT have made - as brought out in the Walsh Case - as being no big deal and an almost natural consequence of being imperfect men ! ?
It is therefore no surprise that she admits to having been at odd with James Pentons works on certain issues.

MY BEST FRIEND
by compound complex inhe walked right past me, looking straight ahead.. years before, hal and i walked the same path, the best of pals.
laughing and joking while endeavoring to maintain some level of decorum during our serious work of being a theatrical spectacle to men and angels.
although we hadn't seen each other in years, hal must have gotten word .

Where is the proof that this is not a spoof ?
How reliable is this story ? Do you really think [yes we have had some spectacular things from the GB] that any JW would do or condone this in any way?
Friends told me Elvis is studying the Bible with JW's in the Memphis congo.
UPDATE: Elvis just phoned me and told me he is studying ! You heard it first from me!

The 1975 Generation---are they still around?
by minimus ini was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.
as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.
now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.
