Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), the famous British writer and feminist (and mother to the author of Frankenstein), included the quotation "Convince a man against his will, He's of the same opinion still."

17Is reasoning with a JW the answer?
by Saved_JW inwhen i first left the watchtower society, i can remember being very eager to learn new information, especially information which pertained to discrediting the watchtower organization.
i called it "the cage stage" .
this excitement and newfound change in worldview completely rocked my world.

UFO's might be real.and what does it mean if they are?
by atomant infor some reason this subject has not received much attention over the years which surprises me.theres many conspiracy theories floating around on the internet and lve done my fair share of due diligence on the matter.the school is still out on this one.l find it very hard to believe humans are the only intelligent beings out there.has anyone on this forum ever seen a ufo or experienced a close encounter?

I enjoy listening to this radio channel when I drive all night just to stay awake and ponder. Conspiracy theories like Jimmy Carter,s alien encounter. He is claimed to have said that if he was elected president, he would reveal all the UFO secrets, but after he was elected, with tears in his eyes, he said if he were to reveal the truth, it would end religion as we know it. Maybe the Pope,s position was started by aliens, etc...

Are the Governing Baboons master manipulators or are they just doing their job?
by atomant inld love to be a fly on the wall when the gb have a round the table conference.l can only imagine .l wonder which one came up with the idea of the overlapping generation and how the others reacted to it.the light was shining brightly that day.

An Analogy I think of is when you get an invitation to go get a nice gift, but you have to listen to a timeshare pitch. You say to your partner, were only here to get the free gift, but as you listen to the BS, you get sucked into the half truths they are spouting and buy into the timeshare. Later on, you wake up and realize you've been had. Good thing they give you a 3 day recension period to back out. -

At least one of them knows that it is a man-made tale used to cover up another man-made tale that so many have fallen for. -

JW Tattoos
by bradford ini'm sure there are countless opinions on whether you should get a tattoo or not.
my personal view is that if you were to get one it should mean something.. anyone get a tattoo to remember their jw roots?
i was thinking of getting a tetragrammaton somewhere.

Wt "study" Participation, is it a "True Believer" Indication?-- or not?
by prologos inin our congregation, the elders rarely comment.
the majority rarely comment, 2 sisters, vehemently, and often comment.
since in their case, it can not possibly be" teaching in the congregation", is participation in the wt "study"in general an affirmation of faith?

there is one sister who holds her hand up all the time and sometimes waves. It seems they try not to call on her cause she talks forever. Also she stands at the beginning of the meeting till the song begins and then waves her arms likes she is conducting the song from the stage and is loud. Annoying...was there ever an article about limiting the amount of time to raise your hand? -

How much do you think GB enjoy their lives?
by elbib inmany who have watched the gb know that they seem to be desperate to be admired, to be looked up to…….
now the question arises—do they really enjoy their lives?
does their superiority complex make them feel good?.

They must feel disappointed they can't come up with a better system that would take less than 9000 hours to make a convert. M -

they actually talked about a real person for at least 10 minutes named Stephen Mcdowell, who left the streets of LA to go to Bethel. Not like in the WT where it talks about CHANTEL, who live in France, orJoel who lives in Australia orOctavia who lives in Britain, or Marco wh lives in Italy, none who can be googled or verified if they really were quoted correctly... -
