Good ideas but the WT will have a hard time to keep away from apostates sites the young ones. When a young person gets curious, they know how to search. But nevertheless if this can works it is a great way to lead people to TTATT.
JW.org truth
i was thinking about the thousands upon thousands of posts that have been made on this site over the years and all the valuable information contained in them.
i was also thinking about all the years that this site was in existence before i stumbled upon it.. i wondered if from now on, if each person making a post on this site, put the words jw.org at the end of the title of their post or somewhere in the body of their post itself, if it would somehow drive those who are looking for jw.org to this site instead?.
for example "what's up with those new literature carts ?
the watchtowers achilles heel is available in spanish.. if reasoning with a jw on the governing bodys interpretations such as of the kingdom of god, parousia, the cross, blood, and so on is unlikely to break the governing bodys mental stranglehold, what then is its achilles heel?.
my study: the watchtowers achilles heel answers that question.

Thanks Doug! I enjoy your studies.

"likewise it is possible to spend valuable time speculating on matters concerning the future.
one might ask, in what year will armageddon begin?...jehovah has not provided answers at this time.
These people have so many different ghost writers that no one can keep up with the plethora of contradictions.
They do the same thing the bible writers did. Write a mountain of errors and contradictions, and then claim their message is of great urgency.
Funny how believers can say the bible is one message, yeah right!?
i was 13yo and largely clueless to what was going on.
i think i remember hearing something about an apostate being weeded out of bethel but really couldn't have cared less.
i didn't start getting zealous until a couple of years later.. .
I was 1 year old and my parents had been baptized in 1974. I recall that during 1985 there was still a lot talk about what happened with the inside apostates and how many other JW's in spanish congregations were df'd for apostasy as well. Many rumors of how they wanted to bring the org down and lead us to satan.
i definitely look like a worldly person by jw standards... however i went to my old hall because they are remodelling and they are in the final p[hase.
it was not on purpose.
i had bnusiness on the street and happened to drive past.
By the way, that moment had to be priceless when a grown man ran away!

Confused,
I wish I can meet you in person one day, your stories are sad but funny at the same time. I have a new hall that was just finished right before the memorial thanks to big J, it is in Riverview. Where is that other hall getting built?
over the years, i have posted all of the chapters from my atheist's book of bible stories on this site.. however, since the original posting, many of the chapters have been polished and updated.. the complete book is now available for downloading, if anyone is interested: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qwpjol.
Great read! I started reading it today and is serious but fun.
just to share a little about me:.
i was recently appointed an elder, about 6 months ago now, and that is exactly two years after my awakenning, but funny that the appointment came also about 2 years after i had completely lost all faith in god and had been leading a full time anti-jw life .
makes you wonder the role of the holy spirit in the entire nomination or appointment process.. .
You are crossing the line and it does not matter if you believe or not, when you hurt others it is unethical and vile. But you can do as you wish and don't think people will accept this disgusting behavior.
when the wt went from charging for literature to voluntary donations, they took a hit but still survived.. i frankly see them having a high success once this new donation system is in place.
it will be a success and no dissenter or closet apostate will be able to stop it.
because although we hate the wt and would love to see them disappear, we cannot forget the ones inside will gladly donate, donate, donate.. just look at other churches!

It will be a success and no dissenter or closet apostate will be able to stop it. Why? Because although we hate the WT and would love to see them disappear, we cannot forget the ones inside will GLADLY donate, donate, donate.
Just look at other churches! They have managed to keep milking money from people for centuries.
Now why can't the WT do the same?
ive given this new arrangement a lot of detailed thought and how greatly it benefits the wt and how much it puts a strain on each congregation.. first, let me explain how the old arrangement worked.. you had 3 donation boxes in each kingdom hall.
one for worldwide work, one for kingdom hall construction and one for congregation contributions.. the congregation contribution box accounted for about 60-75% of all donations.
the world wide work box probably accounted for 20-30% and the kingdom hall construction for about 5% of the contributions.
The elders at my hall are going circles and don't know how to introduce this to the congo in a nice way.
