Excellent Point, AnnOMaly. The GB has always slammed the Catholics because the priests say the bible is too deep for the R&F but they are guilty of the exact same thing.

....the Governing Body as a whole considers adjusted explanations....
by jgnat inthus proclaims the quietly un-annointed governing class of the watchtower and bible tract society, passing as truth.
(watchtower july 15, 2010, page 23, paragraph 10).
this paragraph about the governing body follows a description of the annointed class, a classic bait-and-switch.

Found a church that is anti-religion!
by TweetieBird ini started going to a church that my co-worker goes to about a month ago and i really like it.
they actually meet in a movie theater, serve bagels and cream cheese, coffee, and krispy kreme doughnuts.
i wear jeans and flip flops if i want, they play rock music, and so opposite of any kh experience i've ever had.

I actually look forward to Sunday's. How bizarre! I use to dread Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays-now I enjoy life.
The best part-if I decide to never step foot in there again, no big deal.

Here's another one that' pretty funny.

I started going to a church that my co-worker goes to about a month ago and I really like it. It's very anti-religion. They actually meet in a movie theater, serve bagels and cream cheese, coffee, and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I wear jeans and flip flops if I want, they play rock music, and so opposite of any KH experience I've ever had. Everyone is very down to earth and my kids actually look forward to going, me too! It's actually VERY refreshing.
Last week, he was talking about how important it is to make and keep friends outside of the church. He said that when a church/religion only encourages you to associate with other church members, the church will start to implode. My husband turned to me and said, "wow, you'd never hear that at the KH".

Fortunately we don't live near them so it's no big deal. We really don't have anything in common with them (his whole family) and the past few visits have been awkward for us anyway. We love them but we are so different now. We have moved on and our life does not revolve around them anymore. All of my kids are out of the cult and that's what really matters to me.

Very laid back, everyone there in shorts or jeans and tee shirt. The pastor wore jeans and a tee shirt. The sermon was actually really nice without being preachy. Served bagels, donuts and coffee. I felt totally at home which surprised me cause I was raised in the borg.

"Spiritually Strong" JWs Are Actually Spiritually Weak
by new light inthe more a person does in jw busy work, the weaker spirit they must actually have.
many times, they are simply overcompensating or trying to fill.
a void in themselves.

In the past, FAKE newspaper coverage of WT "International Conventions" in the US
by AndersonsInfo inmany people that post or lurk here at jwn are too young to remember some of the huge international conventions jws held many years ago, but probably have seen impressive photos such as of the 1958 eight-day convention held simultaneously at new yorks yankee stadium and polo grounds.
especially remarkable was the tremendous newspaper coverage of that assembly and other special conventions held in the 1940s and 50s in the united states.
yesterday, when i downloaded somebodys old scrapbook full of long-ago newspaper articles, http://www.archive.org/details/watchtowernewsscrapbook,reporting on jehovahs witnesses so-called international conventions, i couldnt help but remember what i wrote regarding extraordinary newspaper convention coverage in my www.freeminds.org article, how jehovahs witnesses watchtower religion impacted my family history, part 3 and thought id share the information here on jwn for those who are not familiar with how such wonderful coverage came about.

I shouldn't be surprised but I am. I grew up in the cult and never knew about this. I think of ALL the dastardly deeds the WTS has done, this pisses me off the most. Everything else they did, I chalked up to a bunch of misguided old men, but this shows their true nature.
