here is a brief summary (of what we currently get per week):.
21,000 visitors.

please help, become a volunteer!.
you've probably wanted to do something positive to help our fellow humans, since learning that we have been working for a man made organisation all this time.
well you can fellow x's and jw's.. "people now have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the disease by donating their unused computer power, which will enable us to accelerate our programme of research, and come up with many new molecular candidates that could be developed into cancer drugs.
and no linux version. bummer...i'll keep my eyes open for it though.

just thought about all field service etc.
does the gb count time, and if they have a specific amount for the month, and if they should fall and not make their quota do the elders make a spiritual return visit on them?
since the corporate change does anyone know what they are doing ?
If they don't report pedophiles, what makes anyone think they report anything else at all?
Just my $.02

i hope this is a friendly place, because i could sure use some friends.
this is my first try at posting on a discussion board, though i have been lurking here and at a few others on the same subject for a few weeks now.
about 4 weeks ago i took the plunge and decided to see just what all the mystery and danger of reading "apostate" material was all about.
First of all....
Welcome
I joined here in February...and have come back many times a day to read whats going on. We have alot in common. 30 years plus here also "in". This is for the most part a nice place. Emotions can flow strong, on certain subjects, but there are alot of kind and understanding people here who are seeking truth, understanding, and support. And many who will help. My eyes were opened by this : http://www.silentlambs.org Check it out. And then I read a book by a former governing body member, ray franz. Crisis of concience. Its a good read. Check it out. Tell us your story, and I hope you find what you want. Your new life has just begun. I know...Because mine has also. Again, welcome...

today's watchtower study (feb 15, p17) seeks to reassure jws that jehovah will take action against all opposers to the wtbts.. it states: "unscrupulous men slander jehovah's witnesses, branding them a 'dangerous cult'.
god is aware of their actions-and these will not go unpunished.
"(para 11).

Btw, did you know that technically it was incorrect to capitalize the pronoun "i"? But when copyists handwrote literature, it was too easy to lose the "i" due to its size, therefore, it was capitalized.
good. now i dont have to keep correcting all those "i"'s i dont capitolize.
nice post ozzie.....off i go to the meeting 2 sleep it off.....

i have not really thought this out yet but i was thinking after reading another post.
what exactly did jesus say about sex?.
the only things i can remember about jesus was that he revealed his messiahship to a woment that had multiple husbans (lovers), for married men to not lust after other women, and in his linage was a former prostitute.. .
Personally, I' just love it

hi, i'm interested in learning more about 1975 only from a jehovah witnesses.
i understand it was thought to be the "end of the world" by us jws but it didn't happen.
nonjws need not comment.
Fine...
I was/am still "in" and was in 75. I was a young lad then...But the information provided to you is sound. MANY were misled, and left. I was not one of them to be misled then, however, when you concider all the prophesys they [the g.b.] have made and predictions, it leaves you holding the bag and wondering what the real truth is. I realize they are only human, and subject to mistakes. But dammit, they have a responsiblility before god, even according to them, to lead the sheep. And where are they leading them? Off the cliffs. A close examination of the wtbts teachings and philosephys leads a common folk even like me to begin to wonder what I am really doing in this organization. They are taking 6 million lives with them, and are you to be one of them? To follow because they "say" they are directed by God, and his holy spirit? Take another look, please. Do some half @$$ed research and you can plainly see that there is a major problem here. If you look at the w.t. and take it as is, and do nothing else, than it all sounds so nice doesn't it? Take some time to look a tad deeper my friend. I don't have all the answers, and I dont even know where I will go from here...but belief in God and his son and the bible are rock solid. Believe in "man" and follow "man" [man=g.b.=wtbts] and you might as well stick a ring in your nose for them to lead you off. And where will they lead you?
There...you wanted a j.w.'s opinion, you got one. Hows that?

1975 was the year when Armageddon came invisibly.
Sort of like "spiritual armagedon".
