How do you feel about exJW's who resist our efforts to effect change?
by nicolaou ini've met a few.
i'm not talking about the jw who, whether df'd or not, falls off the radar and just gets on with living a normal life - good luck to them and may there be many more!.
i mean the former jehovah's witness who is now enjoying all the benefits of a cult free life thanks to the efforts of many bloggers, posters and activists, but is critical of the efforts of someone close them to free more jws.

L2NM: did you just notice that Geoffrey Jackson just admitted to the world that Jehovah is not really gods name?
What's up with that? When did this happen?
BTW, I agree with what everyone else said. If you're gonna say anything, keep is short and sweet or just delete:
Truth will always stand up to scrutiny if it indeed is truth.

That’s What Happens When You Leave the Truth.
by John Aquila init never failed, when someone got disfellowshipped or left the organization, their life became shambles.
if married, a divorce ensued.
if the person had a great job, the company would lay-off or close.

Living well is the best revenge.
When you say she doesn't know TTATT, I would have to disagree. She might not know that term and all of the doctrinal problems with this religion, but she certainly knew that she didn't want to be part of it simply because of the way she was mistreated.
That's enough.
Good for her.

OMG They are right here in River City!
by myway2007 injacksonville, fl - the local newspaper had an article on the convention going on for the next two weekends.
while i could not find the article, i was able to find this slide show of this weekend's events.
the newspaper article was interesting as it discussed what a wonderful job they were doing cleaning the arena seats and bathrooms and everyone was enjoying their job.

Terry, thanks for sharing.
Do you know who edited these books? I just finished reading "How we found out about ATOMS."
Overall, it was a nice review of the history of atomic theory. But I was really surprised he didn't even mention Dmitri Mendeleev, the Russian chemist that worked out the Periodic table. Also notably missing was the work of J. J. Thomson and his discovery of the electron and Ernest Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment. He really glossed over the late 1800s - early 1900's.
Also, there were a lot of typographical errors.
It's be nice if there was a cleaner, typo-free copy for educational purposes.

How to Block an Interrogation by J.W's

"who else has the truth?

coalize: Without consequence? I'm not sure!
What possible consequence could there be for answer "no" to that question?
Only an idiot would say "yes" to it. They've changed their teachings so many times no one can keep track of all of the doctrinal changes, and quite of few have tried.

Searcher, the problem which you miss is that these questions are not equivalent.
- "Don't you believe that this is God's spirit-directed organization?"
- "Do you believe everything which the faithful slave says?"
-
The second is about doctrinal inerrancy and the first is about loyalty.
A JW can answer "no" to the second question without consequence, but not the first.
