i first noticed it today... slides up at the bottom.
i wonder why they felt the need to do this?
this is just silly for a religious website..
Maybe the purpose is that you cannot copy from the jw.org website and then post that information elsewhere, so that no trace of evidence is left when the GB re-writes some of the past published information that gets edited because of some "new light" .... thus making "apostate" claims harder to prove.

"from time to time, there have arisen from among the ranks of jehovah's people those, who, like the original satan, have adopted an independent, faultfinding attitude...they say that it is sufficient to read the bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home.
but, strangely, through such 'bible reading,' they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by christendom's clergy were teaching 100 years ago.

so, they are claiming that these new partakers associated with their site are not being df'd.. i understand that two witness guys run this site.
can anyone confirm that they are not df'd?.
From a doctrinal point of view, they're interesting, but their unsubstanciated claims of mass "conversions", especially of people highly ranked in the Org are simply too fanciful to be believed. Then there's their backing of the Urantia Book [from which they have since retracted], that gives me cold feet. I follow the developments with interest, but from a safe distance.

The other day I went out in FS with our congregation's COBE; when we rang at the gate of a beautful mansion, he commented: "Really nice house ... I wonder if it'll become available soon after Armageddon, because I'd love to take it". I just looked the other way, wanting to puke.

i first posted here on 3rd june 2008. at the time i was an elder, appointed the previous october, i was 36 and i was a born-in.
at the time i'd become disillusioned with the society due to the governing body's letter explaining why the book study in private homes was being abolished.
april 2008 saw me start questioning this decision, privately of course, and this eventually led me to this site, to jwfacts and to many youtube videos, all of which began to errode my faith in the leaders of the organisation.. in july 2008, having discussed my doubts with my wife, i attended the district convention, deciding to give the society one last chance to convince me it was the truth.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

hi, i am also a practicing jehovah's witness and very proud of it,to say the very-very least..!
i am a middle-aged man with many decades of being a witness of jehovah god in england.. this important letter is personally to you, just as many of the bible's 88 letters are to be taken personal by you the reader.
i am writing to you to urge you to take stock of your life, think what your future holds for you.
Sad ... And to think that most of us, at some point, were in a similar judgemental, arrogant mindset ... It's embarassing.
thank you for reminding us all what we don't want to go back to.

never was a jw, but been here long enough to have made some friends and respect opinions.. retired in 2004, lived in cyprus 2005-2010. back here in wales since then.. just back from a holiday in france (most recent of many).
love the country, the lifestyle, can get by in the language.. just seen an advert for a country estate (british-owned) they want someone to live on site, do a bit of handyman stuff, etc., look after (mainly brit) holiday visitors in return for zero rent (only utitlties).
family would be abe to come and stay for free.
Try Portugal ... ;)

i struggled as a jw to accept that the good news of the kingdom was ever going to be preached in all the inhabited world by jws, as there were many parts of the world with few to no jws.
there are not enough to cover the 3 billion plus people in asia to allow everyone to get a chance to hear the message.
it also was offensive to me that jehovah would kill those billions that had never had a chance to accept the watchtower message.
... The gloomy logical conclusion to Matthew 24:14 is "... And then The end will come"
If the prophecy is fulfilled by jw.org , then The only thing to look forward to is "the end", Armaggedon. When it becomes obvious that the "good news", by means of The website, have reached "all inhabited earth", and the wait for the "big A" becomes awkward, I wonder if The JW's will either start interpreting The nature of the Armaggedon differently, or will they be tempted to cause an Armaggedon themselves, to vindicate their apocalyptic vision.

"a 9-year-old girl learning to fire a submachine gun accidentally killed her instructor at a shooting range when the weapon recoiled over her shoulder, according to arizona authorities.
another reason to go against those arguing that young children should be taught how to use guns.
I often have conversations with some of my north american clients about this firearm issue, and they are split over it. Liberals are against it, conservatives try to cling on to every stupid excuse to justify it. (Such as: "We need the guns should the need to fight the government arises".WTF??) I just can't understand how a sane parent can allow a small child near a deadly gun. It's beyond stupid. It's beyond negligent. It's criminal.
