Help, my son has turned American !
by Simon ini don't know what's happened ... but whenever he plays on the xbox driving games he now puts on a very good 'american' accent.
it is frighteningly good in fact !
the only thing we can think of is that he's picked it up from his cousin who was over a few weeks ago and they played on it together quite a bit (liam get's on really well with him even though he's about 5 years older).. on reflection i guess it is a bit more canadian than american so i am not as worried about it (

Pastor Russell NOT the founder of JWs
by Double Edge in.
interesting site i found by some present day bible students that claim the jws shouldn't trace their beginnings back to charles russell..... i wonder what practicing jws would say if they read this (or would they really care)?.

Are cats for true Christians?
by tonyend inis it my imagination or do some witnesses overthink things a bit too much?
although this is most likely meant as a joke, it well illustrates jw thinking on a lot of matters.

Why dont you leave....?
by anotheropenviewpoint ini have been reading quite a few of these threads and post and through it i feel as though i have come to know some of you and your behaviors.. i notice that there are many of you who are still associated with the hall, and have not left yet... yet, bring up very "strong" points on the board.. i have a question for all of you who fit this description.... why dont you just 'effin leave already?
whats holding you back?
if you feel soooo strongly that this is "wrong" are you too chicken to state your opinion to a family member?

jam until the early morning, using the stage and the kh's pa system.

How Do You Get Someone Out? (Part 1)
by Mindchild inpart 1. i thought it might be advantageous to discuss effective ways of getting someone out of the borg and to dispel some myths we might be entertaining about beliefs and changing them.
in this thread i was hoping to start a discussion about the sociology of the witness belief system and how this can be used to help people escape from the mental trap they have found themselves in.
the first outside book i ever read about jws was in the late 1970s by james beckford.
