  BOOK DONATION CAMPAIGN ANYBODY?

  by Trotafox in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mentioned this topic on sleepy's thread but i'd like to have some input please from others on this board.

  what i want to know is this: there are so many books available on the net that have been written by other ex-jw's who have been there and know the truth about the borg (other than rf).

  what criteria do stores like barnes & noble and christian books stores use to stock particular book titles?

  Hypocrisy Within My Own Family

  by Reborn2002 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yesterday my brother (ever-loyal witness baptized same day as me 10 years ago; who is married to a holier-than-thou regular pioneer and subsequently with her encouragement has since avoided me as much as possible since i da myself) and his wife (see description above) came over to visit.. well.. shooting the proverbial shit, we got to the topic of movies.

  asking politely if he or his wife had seen lord of the rings.. she interjected that it was inappropriate because it suggested wizardry and spiritism, and would never see such filth.

  trying very hard to remain polite, my mom noticed the pause and said if they wanted to borrow any movies we have on tape to watch at home.. sneaky as i am, while they flapped their gums with my parents i glanced in the bag to see what they borrowed.. they took:.

  What Its All About - Lurkers

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  its all about lurkers: there are at least three main types of lurkers, 1. a jw with doubts, concerns, feeling that something is wrong with the religion, 2. an ex-jw who is caught between two worlds, and does not feel free yet to live a normal life, 3. a non-jw who is either involved with a jw, or a relative of a jw, or is in the middle of being studied with by the jws.. defining moments: everything we write, say, and do is observed by the lurkers.

  in a single moment, or a series of collected comments, we will eventually cause a lurker to have a defining moment ... a point in time where they decide that being a jw is not for them anymore, or that they can stop living between two worlds, or cease studying, and not join the religion.

  we may never know who we help, or how many.. flame wars and character attacks: when we get embroiled in these, whether we are the instigator or the brunt of the attacks ... what are we really doing?

  i am preparing a major upgrade on my book, "thus saith the governing body of jehovah's witnesses," which i may retitle "thus saith the watchtower.

  " anyway, i am putting in dozens of pages updating stuff on voting, pedophiles, the media and deception, and most notably the united nations issue.

  what amazes me is over half of the november 22, 1998 awake!
