just wanted to introduce myself
by TheMark ini've been a lurker for quite some time and enjoy the forum.
i've reached a point in life where i don't argue ideologies anymore so i don't have much to say.
i've been out for decades and believe i've been mostly de-cultabilized (if that's even a word).. my family is still in and i haven't had contact with them in years.

Why do "Awake" vloumes only start at 1970 on computer disk?...interesting!
by Witness 007 inyet watchtowers go way back to 1950's....i picked up three awake volumes 1967-1969 i was struck by the poor science {aluminium is posion}, demon articles and anti-organ transplant articles.
also much was said about 1975 being the end of the system and "the generation.
" it feels like fred franz was writting alot of these which now is plain embarrasing and better left un-published.. .

And for the same reason, their website doesn't have access to articles older than the year 2000.

Welcome Mark!
You're sure right about how much the religion has changed over the years. I hardly recognize it.
If anyone is an "apostate," it's the WT leadership. Each new regime has successively apostatized from the previous one.

Ashe: You can try to do a search for do not destroy but you'll come up with child abuse, you'll come up with adultery, you'll come up with bigamist marriage, you'll come up with slander, fraud, murder any abhorrent sin.
Wow, would have loved to have been there for THAT MOMENT!

Welcome. It would be good if you posted an explanation of your thesis in your first post.
Your thread titles are intriguing, but the lack of exposition is only frustrating.

My Wife Takes the "Spiritual Belief System" Quiz
by breakfast of champions inso i asked my wife to take the "spiritual belief system" quiz online.
now, this is not claiming to be a scientifically accurate system to determine your religious affiliation, but i thought it would be an interesting exercise.. for those who haven't seen it, the questionnaire is here:.

When I took this I came up as a Secular Humantist at the top, JW at the bottom.
Very accurate!

My prophecy about the tight pants comments
by stillin inok, so, brother morris seems to have gone out on a limb with his comments about tight pants.
yup, he's an opinionated man.
but, i fully expect that there will be some reference to the scientific wisdom behind his words.

Stillin: BUT, I fully expect that there will be some reference to the scientific wisdom behind his words.
OMG, you need to come into the 21st Century. Actually, if you even joined the 20th Century, it'd be an improvement.
Here we have electric lights and indoor plumbing.

Do Jehovah witnesses exploit the most vulnerable in society?
by Blind_Of_Lies induring my final few years being active with the jws i noticed that the vast majority of people who were studying or joining the group in general where those that the rest of society would consider disabled and/or severely mentally ill. now by disabled i dont mean i lost my leg in nam kind of disabled... in some cases these people were mentally retarded, had the minds of children, were severely abused as children or even as adults and as a result had personality disorders that put them on the edge of society.... and then we had the full on crazies... about 15 years ago one of the brothers who worked at the local welfare office somehow started a study with a person who was a paranoid schizophrenic.
he met her because she was a client of the welfare office.
she got handed off to a sister who studied with her, then started driving her to her doctors appointments, and to get grocerys, and took her to congregation events.

No, they try to exploit everyone. The most vulnerabler, however, are just that: vulnerable.
