He Is Risen, the axial component of christianity
by designs insunday hundreds of millions and possibly up to two billion people will join in some service in observance of the resurrection of jesus.
it is the central issue which takes the teachings of jesus from the philosophy of doing good to others to the ultimate truth which it claims.
it was the axial argument of the apostle paul in 1 cor.

Will you attend some Sunrise Service or other Easter Service.
No.
What pros and cons about the Resurrection and subsequent sightings of Jesus caused you to become a Believer or a non-Believer.
Jesus and the resurrection myth have nothing to do with my becoming an atheist. There's no definitive proof that there even was a Jesus, let alone the actions he is alleged to have done.
The larger issue is the utter unreliability of the Bible as a source of truth. There are a few nice-sounding snippets here and there, but nothing other cultures haven't produced, often earlier than the shaky dates the Bible books are supposed to have been composed.

Were You A Sneaky Jehovah's Witness?
by minimus inyou know, the type that looked like a model witness but at home you were not the best example o your family?.
or maybe you accepted from the faithful slave that oral sex was bad, but you did it secretly---same with masturbation.. or perhaps you put in some wonderful hours and placements on that report slip, knowing you might have exaggerated just a bit.. so, were you one who practiced what you preached?.

Most of my dub years comprised my teenage years.
I wasn't sneaky -- just a bored, embarrassed, and reluctant braindead dub teenager.

Congregation had to relocate Memorial...thanks to me
by Shepherd Book inso, the two local congregations were planning to hold their memorial together at 7:30 at the local community center, but they had to make a last-minute change to their own hall, and i'm pretty sure it was because of me.. let me explain.... at work on monday afternoon, a co-worker returned from her lunchbreak and showed me the memorial invitation that was waiitng in her door when she went home for lunch.
i noticed the sticker on the back indicated the memorial was being held, not at the local hall, but at the community center.
from a past (non-jw) event i attended there, i knew they didn't allow alcohol (unless you pay for security guards), so i wrote to the center's coordinator:.

Way to strike a blow against the Alliance, Preacher man!
You may turn out to be a browncoat in disguise after all.

"The plain consequence is (and it is a general maxim worthy of our attention), 'That no testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous than the fact which it endeavors to establish.'"
David Hume (1711-1776)

Guy who shot the dog: "I just wish I was there sooner, and I hope to God they're both OK," Harrell said.
Contrast that sentiment with the message those women were trying to preach --- join us or die.
Yeah, we worldly ones are the devil's children.

The WTS ought to keep templates for all the subjects dubs give talks about, sort of like Cliff Notes for Braindead Dubs.
For example, the talk given about bad associations hasn't changed since God invented dirt.
All the WTS has to do is dust one off now and then, make a few changes to accommodate "new light," and it's ready to go.
What a time saver that would be for elders trying to compose a talk from scratch about the same old crap! The time saved could be used for field service and stalking potential apostates.
Hear that, WTS?? I've given you a golden egg here. You're welcome.
